As we roundup our teaching series on #LoveStruck @elevationng , I am speaking on the topic "Loving In Hostile Territories." #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Text: Genesis 37:1-8
Joseph was hated by his brothers for two reasons that were none of his: He was loved because he was the son of Jacob's old age. Secondly, because God gave him dreams. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Sometimes, we are hated for reasons that are beyond us. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Instead of celebrating Joseph's capacity to dream, he was being treated with animosity by His brothers. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Imagine having a sense of vision at the age of 17. Joseph was able to articulate his visions but he was still hated.
#LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
In Genesis 26:12-22, we see a similar situation with Isaac. Isaac was a businessman, blessed but hated by his peers. They did everything to deter him but Isaac had a positive disposition in spite of the hostilities.
#LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
As believers confronted with hostile situations, our actions must be based on revelations. We mustn't react based on the attitude of people around us. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
When the world is wicked, we have a choice- to react to our environment or choose LOVE above all else. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
As an heir turned slave, Jospeh had every reason to be vengeful & bitter. Sometimes in your career, you may feel neglected. Remember: the love of God is working things out for your good. Walk in love ALWAYS. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
God has a redemptive perspective to the situations happening around our lives. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
If Joseph's brother knew that selling him into slavery in Egypt would help push the realisation of his dreams, they wouldn't have sold him.
#LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Love is owed. It is not a suggestion but a command. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
God's blessings in our lives has a redemptive plan and not a destructive agenda. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Don't attract hostility to your life by living a wayward life or misappropriating God's blessings in your life. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Don't stir up hostility. Just got a promotion? Be humble. New car? Remain thankful and modest in your attitude. Be reasonable, kind with your words and helpful, owing no man nothing but love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
I pray for you that may every hostility around your life draw you nearer to God's plans, blessings and purpose for your life. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Learn to walk in love. Love gives a redemptive chance for evil doers to repent. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
You may not let everyone into your home, but you can pray for them, help them and forgive them. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Love preserves God's purpose and your future. Walking out of love can derail your future. You have a choice. Choose to forgive. Choose love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
May God heal your heart to love again in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Without love you cannot maximise your destiny. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Receive grace to maximize your destiny. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
You may be in a situation you didn't choose. Look at it this way, God may want to use this situation to bless you regardless of the circumstance. Seek a divine perspective to love when faced with wickedness. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
There no viable alternative to love. We must love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
The Lord will shield and protect you. Your life is supernaturally preserved. God will come through for you in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Want to be saved? Say this prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to you today. I need a saviour for I cannot save myself. I am a sinner, heal my heart and call me your own. I declare I am a child of God and your spirit flows in me in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning

If you're single and waiting for marital settlement, pray these 10 important prayer points.
1. Bind every spirit of ungodly delay. That the Lord will make everything in your life beautiful in its time. Pray that your expectations are met and that you constantly stay in the will of God for your life. 2 Peter 3:9.
2. Pray for divine direction. That the Lord orders your steps and guides you in the way to go. That He will help you stay in His presence and that you will recognise his voice. John 10:27.

1. Hello and welcome! It’s #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr. & Mrs Better Half is designed to strengthen marriages & relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word.
2. We're discussing 'How Do I Reset My Marriage For Bliss?'' It's easier for singles to opt out of relationships if it doesn’t align with what they've planned for their lives; or because both parties are not moving in same direction, among other reasons. #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. However, for married couples, it isn’t quite that clear-cut. When you walk down the aisle and accept to be married to another person, you say a vow agreeing to stay “till death do us part”. #MrMrsBetterHalf

2. Today, we are discussing “How do I deal with a secretive spouse? I know that feeling like your spouse is keeping something from you can breed insecurity in a relationship. #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. If your spouse is secretive, you’d typically think about different things – are they only like that with you? Don’t they trust you enough to share things with you? What are they hiding? Could it hurt you or your family? #MrMrsBetterHalf
