*Luke 1:36 NLT*
Whatโs more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month.
๐๐ผShe was given a name because of her challenges.
๐๐ผShe did not conceive
at a time everyone expected her to.
๐๐ผ
She did not meet people's expectations as it were, hence, she was written off as barren, unfruitful...her case was closed, but, then, God stepped in.
Psalms 77:14 NIV
You are d God who performs miracles; you display your power among d pples
And God stepped in;โ๏ธ
And God once again displayed His power.โ๏ธ.
*And then* ;
๐๐ผElizabeth's Barren status changed.
๐๐ผHer name changed.
๐๐ผPeople's perception of her changed automatically
๐๐ผ
There is going to be a display of God's power over your life that will force a new name and a new status upon you in Jesus name๐๐ผ
*Matthew 27:32 KJV*
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they *compelled* to bear his cross.๐๐ผ
At a time in Jesus' walk on earth, He bore a burden so great that He collapsed under it's weight.
๐๐ผ
The weight of the cross was too much for Him. He collapsed under it's weight on His way to calvary.
๐๐ผGod has seen the weight and burden you have been carrying...
Your income seem too meagre, yet, the burden is obviously much & are even in multiples.
The weight is crushing.
..it's been overwhelming and you obviously need help & reinforcements.๐ข
God says, I am sending you a *burden bearer* , a "Simon of Cyrene."โ๏ธ
๐๐ผ
One who will carry your burden *FOR* you... Not, *with* you, but for you
๐๐ผSimon wasn't compelled to carry the cross with Jesus,
#Watching a documentary on the National Arts Theater, Iganmu on TVC almost brought tears to my eyes. All I could say was, Oh My God.
The depth of neglect is monumental.
I recall when I was part of a cultural troupe (Gangan Cultural Group)
that performed there, I think in the late 80s or early 90s.
It was such a noble experience back then.
The National Theatre is an architectural masterpiece and a cultural landmark located at Iganmu, in the heart of Lagos. It is easily accessible from every corner of the city.
Covering an area of about 23,000 square meters and standing well over 31 meters tall, the multipurpose National Theatre was established for the preservation, presentation and promotion of Arts and Culture in Nigeria.
The design for the existing National Theatre in Lagos was

Pushed to the wall, I called to God; from the wide open spaces, he answered.๐๐ผ

*Proverbs 11:21 MSG*
Count on this: The wicked won't get off scot-free, and God's loyal people will triumph.

*Jeremiah 23:12 MSG*
"But they won't get by with it. They'll find themselves on a slippery slope, Careening into the darkness, somersaulting into the pitch-black dark. I'll make them pay for their crimes. It will be the Year of Doom." God's

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month
of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. *On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped* to overpower them, *but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them* .๐๐ผ

Beware of elder brothers, experienced Christians who have become so experienced and are now lukewarm.
They have become so experienced that they can not shout hallelujah, can no longer dance In church, they know everything, cannot be corrected.
They condemn you when you dance before your God saying it's for young Christians.
They are offended when you praise God in an unusual way. As far as they are concerned, it's for beginners.
Do not allow any older brother stand in your way. #They are never happy when you stand
up after a fall. Luke 15, story of the returning prodigal son and his older brother. #They are not happy when you can achieve what they cannot. 1 Sam 17, his older brothers despised him when he came to the battlefield and claimed he could kill Goliath #They are not happy when it
