1. The Apostle Paul was accused of extreme behavior. He said it was love that made him behave that way. (2 Corinthians 5:13-14). #sharingthegoodnews
2. Paul was not the only one so accused. “So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” (Acts 2:12-13). #sharingthegoodnews
3. The disciples of Christ were acting intoxicated because they were filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4). #sharingthegoodnews
4. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and being drunk with alcohol produce similar effects, but one is harmful. #sharingthegoodnews
5. “Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts”. (Ephesians 5:18-19 NLT). #sharingthegoodnews
6. Being filled with the Holy Spirit produces the inspired version of you and that is a better version. “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” (Job 32:8 KJV). #sharingthegoodnews
7. ”But Peter, standing up with the 11, raised his voice & said, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, & heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.” (Acts 2:14-15 NKJV) #sharingthegoodnews
8. “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;” (Acts 2:16 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
9. “Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
10. THE INSPIRED VERSION OF YOU SEES THINGS DIFFERENTLY (just like someone that is intoxicated). You see possibilities where others see problems, and miracles where they see obstacles. #sharingthegoodnews
11. THE INSPIRED VERSION OF YOU HAS CAPACITY FOR FAITH. You don’t accept facts as final, rather you take what God says as ultimate reality. #sharingthegoodnews
12. THE INSPIRED VERSION OF YOU HAS UNUSUAL BOLDNESS. People take alcohol or drugs to overcome shyness, but these are harmful. You are bold when filled with the Holy Spirit. See the transformation of Peter (Acts 4:13). #sharingthegoodnews
13. THE INSPIRED VERSION OF YOU HAS UNUSUAL CAPACITY FOR LOVE & JOY. “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,” (Isaiah 61:3 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
14. “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5 NKJV). ##sharingthegoodnews
15. THE INSPIRED VERSION OF YOU GETS UNUSUAL RESULTS. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” Acts 10:38 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
16. Jesus told His disciples not to share the goodnews till they were filled with the Holy Spirit. #sharingthegoodnews
17. ”And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” (Luke 24:49 NLT). #sharingthegoodnews
18. John said, “I baptize you with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am, so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave & untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit & with fire” (Luke 3:16 NLT) #sharingthegoodnews
19. Someone said, “When you catch fire, people will come and watch you burn.” You have unusual effect on people when you’re filled with the Holy Spirit. #sharingthegoodnews
20. The Holy Spirit is the Lord of the Harvest. He knows how best to get each person saved. “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:38 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
21. Miracles happen as the inspired version of you shares the gospel; “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:18 NKJV). #sharingthegoodnews
22. Pray daily for fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. He is with you where you are, more than eager to fill you with His power. #sharingthegoodnews
23. God will use you beyond your wildest imagination to transform people’s lives in Jesus’ name. #sharingthegoodnews
24. Join us this Wednesday at live.daystarng.org, or on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram (@daystarng), or on YouTube, or at any of Daystar’s centres as we pray for fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. #sharingthegoodnews

The military coup in Niger draws attention to Africa’s leadership issues. The leaders of the coup have cited security concerns due to threats by jihadist groups and poor economic growth as reasons for the coup. Similar reasons were given for the military coups in Burkina Faso and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The regional body, ECOWAS, insists the coup must end and the former president must be returned to power. They say democracy remains the best form of government. But a large number of Nigeriens are taking sides with the leaders of the coup.
It is sad that neither military, democratic nor monarchical systems have fostered rapid development in most African countries. It’s time we address the real problem.

When trusting God for your finances:
1.CENTRE YOUR THINKING ON THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST
“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT)
You are rich already. Meditate on it. Let it sink into your soul and spirit. WHAT YOU BELIEVE DETERMINES WHO YOU BECOME. SHAKE OFF THOSE DANGEROUS LABELS SOCIETY HAS PLACED ON YOU (MASSES, COMMON MAN, etc.). The major difference between the rich and the poor is what they think.
2.GET DIVINE DIRECTION
Your greatest asset is the voice of The Shepherd (Psalm 23: 1-2, 5-6).
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me”. (John 10:27)
Develop the capacity to hear God. It’s one of your greatest assets as a child of God.

1. To destroy worry on money issues as a believer in Christ, make a conscious decision to never value money more than you value God. Christ made the choice in the face of temptation and angels came to attend to His needs. God’s wisdom and power will resolve your money needs.
2. “You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.” (Matthew 6:24 The Message)
3. “Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” (Matthew 6:33 The Message)

1. I was in Chicago, Illinois, to speak at a conference several years ago. Something caught my attention on the highway. I drew the attention of my hosts to the quality of a truck full of cows and remarked that, sadly, a lot of humans in Africa could not enjoy such quality.
2. As we approach a new year, we should consider the overall prospects of improvement in the condition of the average African and ask ourselves; will (not “can”) democracy deliver economic development in Africa?
3. Why is it that African countries with democratic governments move more towards being authoritarian? We must admit that in terms of leadership, there are major differences between the cultural values of Africans and those of countries that have developed with democracy.

1.Why is it predictable that when you throw your phone up it would come down? How come you get the same result everywhere on our planet? This scenario confirms the reality of a principle: gravity. Can success be predictable? #success
2. Some cultures value principles more than others. You know you’re part of a culture that does not value principles by the level of impunity (living above the law/policies). Acting above the law is proof of power. It is celebrated and rewarded.
3. Fairness will be rare in such a culture. Power, wealth and opportunities will concentrate in the hands of a few. Crisis will be more predictable than progress. You should be concerned if you’re part of such a culture.

1.I desperately needed a legal document (Power of Attorney), while we were on vacation in Florida several years ago. I got stressed up trying to figure out how to get it. #values #NewNigeria
2.Then I called my cousin, a Nigerian-American, for advice. He said, “Calm down, Sam. This is America. Someone has helped you to think about it. Go to Staples. You will see it there, along with other documents. Just fill in the blanks.” #values
3.He continued; “This culture values convenience and innovating to make things easy for you. If you want to do anything here and it’s getting complicated, take that as a sign you are going off track. The issue is no longer the problem. The problem is your mindset”. #values
