#How king Hezekiah turned back the hands of the clock.

How he got God to change His mind.
1.
We can learn a few lessons from what transpired.

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the Prophet Isaiah,the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him,Thus saith the LORD,
2.
Set thine house in order;for thou shalt die and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall,and prayed unto the LORD..."(2 Kings 20 vs 1,2).

When Isaiah showed up to announce God's verdict, he instructed Hezekiah to set his house in order, seeing that he was about to die.
3.
In contemporary times, setting one's house in order wld probably involve writing a will, or sharing one's properties, tidying up every matter dat is unresolved, in preparation for death. So,Isaiah was counselling Hezekiah to get ready to die.
4.
He simply advised him to get set for d worst.

Now, the lessons...

Notice that when Hezekiah was instructed to prepare for the worst, he turned it around and started praying for the best. He was counselled to prepare for death, but he prepared for life by seeking God.
5.
He made a demand for life when death was his only alternative. He prepared for boom when his only option was a big doom.

Don't accept that the worst is about to happen.
Don't prepare your mind as if danger or disaster is certain.
Don't see a bad report and view it as final.
6.
Don't see a sign of disappointment and begin to dwell in the reality of a disappointment that hasn't even happened.
Don't allow evil reports define your expectations and projections.
7.
2 Timothy 1 vs 7 cautions
"For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound mind".

Refuse the worst today, and watch God give you the best!

Pray with me,
"Lord, i refuse the worst; give me the best in Jesus name

#life's Lessons from the Spider
1.
No matter how clean a palace is, you will always find the spider's web.

Scientists say, if you left a spider's web long enough, bullets will not b able to penetrate.

The reason we don't see d spider's silk in its full potential is because it Image
2.
is wiped out.

But, the more it is wiped out, the more the spider spins new silk.

But, guess what... Wipe it out, you will see it again

They might have wiped something out of you, dream again.

Clean your house a million times over, you will always see d spider's silk.
3.
What you cleaned is just the surface.. The source is from the inside of the spider...its from its belle.

You are bringing another thing out.

Stop whining when they steal your ideas, project...there's more where that came from.

They stole your business idea? Dream again

#In preparation for our bi-monthly Prayer & Intercession for this month, ( 1st & 3rd Monday of every month,) the Word F.A.V.O.U.R. dropped like a thunderbolt in my spirit.

I recall a time Pastor E.A. Adeboye said, "for the past 30years, I have been praying for FAVOUR everyday of Image
my life.." on that day, all I could say was, "No wonder..."

7th of December, live on Facebook, we shall be praying along this line.

Theme - F.A.V.O.U.R.
it's Favour when God provoke men to come to you, regardless of where you are. David was in a cave, in hiding when God
provoked men to come to him

2 Samuel 23:13 KJV
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam:

It's Favour when your story and testimonies look Made-Up

It's Favour when God rejects man's offer and put you in the

#One of our widows (under our widow's Foundation) called me at 3am this morning, "Pastor, please pray for me...I don't have the strength to go on..."

To every widow out their feeling overwhelmed, God will raise men/women that will help carry your burden. Not share your burden,
But, help carry your burden.
Matt 27v32 TPT
And as they came out of the city, they stopped an African man named Simon, from Libya, and compelled him to carry the cross for Jesus.

This man did not share the burden of carrying the cross with Jesus, he bore it all on his shoulders
God will also give you ideas to make wealth, connect you with people that will give your life a lift.
.
2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Stay strong, God

The Power Of Prayer & Strategy.
1.
Every great life has a secret source. That is, they have a source unknown to many from where they draw strength and wisdom

Thus, Delilah kept on pressuring Samson:
Judges 16:6 ( GNB)
“... Please tell me what makes you so strong. If
2.
someone wanted to tie you up and make you helpless, how could he do it?””
“ ...WHAT MAKES YOU SO STRONG?”
✍️ Until such secret sources are discovered and compromised, u remain invincible & unstoppable, regardless of the oppositions and resistances that life throws against you
3.
Let me recommend two such factors:
Prayer and strategy .

It is often, very slooooowly learned and forged on the anvil of life’s bitter experiences, especially.
✍️ The possibilities of prayer are endless but there is a particular reason why you, yes you reading this,

Kudos to his Excellency, Gov. Of Ogun State for expanding & fixing this Asero -Camp road & for matching his words with action. It is really commendable.

I couldn't hide my disbelief when I saw d earth moving tractors, workmen & drainage slabs on site this morning.

@dabiodunMFR
Been living in Abeokuta for 11yrs now and this long stretch of road has been a menace. A journey of 10mins would sometimes, take about 2hrs to navigate because, of the terrible condition of the road axis.

Past governments had it on paper that it was fixed with just a few bags of
cement mixed with sand to do patch work.

What I saw today is the real deal.

We don't mind the inconveniences the construction would cause, we are indeed grateful for this government intervention.

This will really make life very easy for citizens.

*_No dead-End with God*_

*Exodus 15v8 GNB*
You blew on the sea and the water piled up high; it stood up straight like a wall; the deepest part of the sea became solid. Waoh😱
👇🏼
Do you know that the breathe of God doesn't just give life to that which is
dead or dying?

👉🏼Well, if that's you, I'm pleased to tell you that, it does much more.💪🏻
👇🏼
For starters, it also makes ways where there is no way.

👉🏼It makes a way, in places or situations we have concluded as a dead end.

With just a blast of His nostrils, the red sea was
pathed. ( *Exo 15:8 KJV*
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.)
