The joy of the Lord is your strength - Nehemiah 8:10
This is not just a cliche or a feel good statement of encouragement. This is scripture, this is the truth. One of the supernatural systems of advantage God has given to his people is this mystery called Joy.
The Joy of the Holy Ghost has no explanation, has no dependencies, just a realm introduced only by the Holy Ghost. This is a mountain the devil cannot climb. Are you tired of fighting battles on a level field? Try Joy! Come up hither to the heights of Joy.
Have a blessed week.

I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One. - Revelation 1:8
It is important to be reminded of the person of our Lord Jesus Christ and his endless eternal possibilities. He is the one who holds sway over all things. He has the capacity of influence over all things.
As you go this week, never forget if Jesus has not had a say, the matter is far from over. Him alone has the final say, he is the almighty one.

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom" - Psalm 90:12
The psalmist unlocked a key to living on the path of wisdom. That key is the key of Numbering your days. This involves being able to take a stock of our activities, where we have done well, where we have performed badly, where we can do better.
In other words, it's a call to self reflection, meditation on your days. Where there is no accountability, there is no judgement and where there is no sound judgement, there's no pathway to evolution and doing better.
May the Lord himself teach you how to be accountable first to yourself and then to him. May the Lord help you to rightly evaluate your life according to his own measure in Jesus name.

God has an occupation, he has something that keeps him busy day and night. That is simply the Salvation of Men.
God so loved the world he gave his Son. He still loves the world that he does not want anyone to perish. He wants all men to come to the knowledge of the truth of Salvation in Christ Jesus.
God wants us to partner with him by praying and preaching of the Gospel. He wants prayers, supplication, intercession to be raised for all men. He wants someone to care enough to also join him in the effort of saving all men.
Today, I charge you to choose to partner with God. Choose to be his business partner.
Have a blessed week.

Whosoever the Son sets free is free indeed - John 8:36
True freedom exists, total liberty exists and can only be found in Jesus.
Many try to appropriate liberty and assume they are free because they succeed to control certain influences in their life. However, what Jesus offers is not control or dominion, he offers total liberty from every influence and power.
Jesus wants to set you free from sin, addiction, poverty, anger and every circumstance of life that seeks to control the outcome and possibilities of our life.
I pray for you, that may you come into the light of the truth that Jesus offers. May you buy the truth and sell it not. May the truth over every struggle in your life be revealed to you in Jesus name.
Have a blessed week.

Our father in heaven is a responsible father. There is always a provision from above. God always prepare things for those who love him. The challenge is these things are only revealed by the Spirit of adoption, the eternal seal of every child of God, the Holy Ghost.
Staying in joy and gratitude is a sure way to keep in step with the Spirit and open yourself to receive the things prepared in advance. May the Lord give you eyes that see, ears that hear and a mind that conceives of the things God has prepared.

"So we may boldly say: The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" - Hebrews 13:6
One of the most accurate description of God is the father of spirits. Every spirit being and spiritual entity find their source in him. Every spirit ultimately are under him, including the devil!
Never ever feel hopeless or not in control because as long as you have the father of spirits, any situation can change, any circumstance can be turned around. God will move men on your behalf, he will move angels on your behalf, he will make every spiritual formation align in your favour.
Child of God, be confident! You have a father and he is the father of all spirits.

The gospel of Christ has never been about the strength of man. If man was strong enough to deliver himself from the power of sin and death, then Christ would not have been needed.
Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 shows us a picture of a conversation with the Lord. How he wanted to stay on top of his weaknesses but the Lord simply told him the answer to his petition is GRACE. The answer to your weakness is grace. His grace is sufficient.
When you embrace and trust in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, you activate the release of Christ's power. Do you want to experience the power of Christ, then trust his grace to carry you through unpleasant situations. His grace is sufficient, that all that you need.
You are not weak, you are stronger than you can ever be when grace is at work in you.

Our lives mostly move in the direction of our sight. Even scripture says that the eyes is the lamp of the body. What we see eventually translates to the results we obtain in our lives.
Jehoshaphat understood this when he said the prayer in 2 Chronicles 20:12 - our eyes are on you! This morning let your eyes be upon the LORD. Let your eyes be on Jesus.
Look unto to Jesus the author and the finisher of your faith. No one sees Jesus and end up in shame. You can't look at him and stay blocked and depressed.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. When we see him, we have seen the way out, when we see him we have seen the truth about every situation, when we see him we have seen life in abundance. Look unto Jesus!

The test of the heart is a test every man whom God will greatly increase must pass. The scriptures says the Lord tries the heart and there are examples in scriptures that show men and women that put God first in all their dealings as a show of their honour to him.
It is without doubt that everyone who honours God will be honoured by God. Those who seek God first remain first in all their dealings. Things and substances of this world never cease to chase after the man we honours God with their things and substance.
The challenge is simple this morning; Honour God.

"That the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." Philemon 1:6
The potency of faith is displayed in it's ability to speak. Faith speaks! One of the ways the devil renders believers impotent is keeping them silent. Believers ashamed of the gospel, ashamed of sharing every good thing in them in Christ Jesus.
This morning, the challenge is simple, whatever the Lord has said to you, whatever you believe, go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Those who keep their faith public never lack public victories and testimonies. Engage in the communication of your faith and watch the Lord defend your testimony.

I believe in miracles! Yes, I believe in miracles.
Our God is a miracle working God. We must never let go of the truth that more than our knowledge, skills and intellectual prowess, God does things beyond logic and explanation.
Like the Centurion we much be child-like enough to say Lord I need a miracle today. Let this be your prayer today. Lord I need a miracle.

What do you do when you have tried everything and nothing works? The answer is simple; REST.
God is always ever-present if we will only trust him enough to put everything in his hands. To put all our eggs in a single basket called FAITH.
He says be still and know that I AM God. Hurry to the place of rest today because where our strength ends, is where God begins. May you receive the grace, faith and courage to be still in Jesus name. Amen.

Jesus speaking said I have come to give life in abundance. There is a ministry of life that flow from God. It consists of all blessings that flows from heaven including the joy and strength of living.
Many times, when expectations are not fulfilled, it ministers infirmity to our soul and compounding these eventually lead to unexplainable fatigue, weariness and general tiredness. The solution is the fulfilment of our expectations.
Today, may the arm of the Lord be revealed to you. May your expectations be fulfilled, may you shout for joy. May you dance for joy. May you rejoice again even as strength comes upon you in Jesus name.

How does silence have a voice? Scriptures shows us in multiple accounts that the silence of God is usually the voice of his wisdom.
When it seems as though God is silent, it is usually God preparing to do something ears have not heard nor eyes seen. Be encouraged today, God is not silent because he has forgotten! He is watching over his word to fulfil it.
The Lord will turn around the captivity, it will be like a dream! His silence will prove to be wisdom in a short while. We will rejoice with you soon enough in Jesus name.

Whosoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge before my father - Matthew 10:32
The word of God is true and ever sure. To everyone who decides to make the name of Jesus the banner of their life, the integrity of the name is forever defended in their life.
As you continue in life, contend to make sure all men see the name of Jesus lifted in your life. This is an insurance policy that never fails. As you life him, he will lift you alongside. I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children beg for bread.

Waiting for the Lord is one of the biggest test of our faith. From giants of Faith like Abraham, it remains a challenge. Waiting is not natural to the fallen nature of man.
Yet, this virtue is an essential to everyone who must walk by faith and put their trust wholly in the Lord. We must learn to wait for him, by the practice of "waiting on the Lord". This means, rejoicing in God's plan and staying fervent or faithful in prayer. This is how we unlock the strength to wait for the Lord.
May the Lord teach your heart to wait for him, may help you to rejoice in his plans and stay faithful in prayer in Jesus name. Amen!
