Now, let's look at the state of the nation at a glance, & on top of all these,#EndSarsNow will not allow is breathe. 1. ***No functional health system, Lecturers on strike, zero electric power supply, terrible state of roads, child poverty on d rise, crime rates through the roof
2. kidnappings/ militias growing by day, no accountability in public services, people’s psychic are being damaged every second, Security system appalling, imbeciles appointed into sensitive positions, the vulnerable are being messed up, no sense of direction,
3. no future developmental goals/ plan, no initiatives for growth, no social care/economic structures, no proper justice system, no genius will to serve, no clues about gov responsibilities to its people, no decency of purpose, no respect for life.
Many are asking, what is there to be thankful for? buy, I choose to join the few who will always be eternally grateful to God.
we will not just move on like nothing happened. Thank Him
We should make a big deal of everything God did for us... giving Him glory..
When we offer Thanksgiving, it is proof we have not lost our memory
it is also because we recognize the source of our blessings..
3. As we give thanks, we cannot afford to do it in moderation to the Almighty, because, the way we show appreciation can trigger more from the same source.
If we fail to acknowledge what God has done now, who will help us again.
*Genesis 13:14 KJV*
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was *separated* from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
👇🏼
There are great and mighty stuffs God may not
reveal to you because of the company you keep.
👉🏼God only revealed to Abraham great & mighty things after Lot was separated from him.
👉🏼 *For starters, Lot means a covering or a veil.*
🤷🏽♂️Who does any exploits under a covering or a veil?.
👇🏼
These great & mighty things were
just for Abraham...Lot was not permitted to look or see what God was about to show him
👇🏼
Lots could be physical or spiritual, but, whatever the case, there is going to be a divine separation for you..✔️
🙏🏼
God will separate you
#Surely, you would have come across breathtaking architectural designs in your neighborhood... buildings that got your imagination almost running wild. Sometimes, you had to stop or take a few steps backwards just to catch another glimpse of that edifice...the design, the
construction, the ambience, the finishing, the flowers etc.
All these were designed and built by mere mortals, yet, they are so astonishing that we oftentimes wished they belonged to us.
Now, let's just "TRY" and imagine an entire city designed and built by God. Designed and
built by the one who made all things by His spoken word...by He who is indescribable...
Come with me therefore, to the book of Hebrews...
#Hebs. 11v10 ESV
For he (Abraham) was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
*Genesis 31:40 MSG*
I was out in all kinds of weather, from torrid heat to freezing cold, putting in many a sleepless night.
Genesis 31:41 For twenty years I've done this: I slaved away fourteen years for your two daughters and another six years for your
flock and you changed my wages ten times.
Genesis 31:42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not stuck with me, you would have sent me off penniless. But God saw the fix I was in and how hard I had worked and last night rendered his verdict."
👇🏼
👉🏼 Jacob was cheated several times by no other person than his uncle..
👉🏼He worked like an elephant but earned like a rat...but, God intervened.👇🏼
👉🏼For everyone who has cheated you out of what is due you, God will render His verdict..
*Genesis 49:24 MSG*
But he held steady under fire, his bow firm, his arms limber, With the backing of the Champion of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
👇🏼
Joseph held steady under fire...he did not buckle or throw in the towel because of overwhelming
circumstances.
👉🏼His family was against him.
👉🏼His employer was against him...he had no where to run🏃🏼♂️, but, he had the backing of the champion of Israel, the El-Shadai Himself.✔️
Inspite of what you are going through, you have God's backing.✔️
You may not see or feel it, but, He is there with you.😢
Because, you have His backing...
✔️You will not lose that battle with sickness.
👉🏼You will not lose that long standing war.
👉🏼You will not lose that battle with unproductivity, barrenness, lack.
#You will never win if first you lose on the inside 1. Very Interesting STORY...
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale relates this story from his book, Power of the Plus Factor:
”Once walking through the twisted little streets of Kowloon in Hong Kong, I came upon a tattoo studio. In the
2. window were displayed samples of the tattoos available."
"On the chest or arms you could have tattooed an anchor or flag or mermaid or whatever.
But what struck me with force were three words that could be tattooed on one’s flesh, 'BORN TO LOSE'."
“I entered the shop in
3. astonishment and, pointing to those words, asked the Chinese tattoo artist, “Does anyone really have that terrible phrase, Born to Lose , tattooed on his body?”
He replied, “Yes, sometimes.”
“But,” I said, “I just can’t believe that anyone in his right mind would do that.”
