A SHORT EXHORTATION
1.
A woman was once asked:

What do you "gain" from praying to God regularly?

She replied:
Usually ′′ I don't earn anything ", but rather ′′ I lose things on the altar of prayer ".

And she quoted everything she lost praying to God regularly:
I lost my pride. Image
I lost my arrogance.
I lost greed.
I lost my urge.
I lost ′′ my ′′ anger.
I lost the lust.
I lost the pleasure of lying.
I lost the taste of sin.
I lost impatience, despair, and
discouragement.

Brethren, there are habits we must continually cultivate if we want our relationship
3.
with God to be rosy.

If we want our victory parade to be constant.

The first question is...

When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in life;
From the
4.
petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,
#we monitor the temperature guage on the dashboard of our cars,
5.
monitor and guage the air in our tyres.

#We monitor virtually everything and take action(s) where necessary to ensure things go on smoothly.

#This action(s) gives us great satisfaction, yet, the most important things are left unmonitored.

#Our spiritual guage has been
6.
reading zero for a longtime unattended to.

#Our walk with God has been crooked, yet little or no attention has been paid to this....yet, we are only concerned about the goodies

#Our desire to study the Word has been on the decline for as long as possible...(Bible has become
7.
like a sleeping pill)

#Prayer meter keeps dropping daily.

#Fellowship with God is now a quicky, done only when convenient.

#We monitor politics locally and happenings around the world

#Praise and worship is only enhanced when they are played on radio or television, yet,
8.
#Righteousness, holiness, faithfulness, goodness are all on the decline and we wonder why everything is going haywire..

Meanwhile, there are things that may be standing in our way, that we have not been paying attention to.

At every opportunity, we blame village people or
9.
any nearby victim.

ITS TIME WE HAD A PARADIGM SHIFT. Lord help us not to major in the minors, in Jesus name

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME - FROM MISSION IMPOSSIBLE TO...

Anytime you are given a seemingly impossible task to do, jump on this word
📌
Genesis 24:42b MSG
"...I prayed, 'God, God of my master Abraham, make things turn out well in this task I've been given.

You cannot align

with the Word and look helpless and hopeless.

Abraham's servant was on a seemingly impossible mission. He had specific instructions from his master Abraham and dint know how to go about it.

At first, when he set out, everything looked blurry and difficult to attain unto, but
3.
then, he prayed this simple prayer in 📌

Genesis 24:12a MSG
He prayed, "O God, God of my master Abraham, MAKE THINGS GO SMOOTHLY THIS DAY;

Just as he prayed, things began to fall into place. God began to move people here and there. To cut the long story short, mission

A SHORT EXHORTATION - Part 2

THEME -We shall see what will become of your dreams - PART 2

We started with how Joseph rose from Zero to Hero yesterday, now, let's continue.

Genesis 45:26 MSG
When they told him, "Joseph is still alive - and he's the ruler over the whole land of
2.
Egypt!" HE WENT NUMB; HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HIS EARS.
📌
Brethren, of a truth, some news or unexpected breakthroughs and blessings can cause NUMBNESS. They can cause MOMENTARY doubts.

Jacob had given up on ever seeing his son Joseph alive again. He had resigned to fate on
3.
account of the fabricated and gory description of his death by his brothers.

When news of him (Joseph) hit Jacob, he was awe struck...In a state of shock.

We find similar experiences in the new testament too

After Peter had toiled all night, he knew from experience that

A SHORT EXHORTATION

Theme -We shall see what will become of your dream...

We all know the story of Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, oh, how can we ever forget those Sunday school teachings of how his dad loved him far and above his other siblings and even went to the extent Image
2.of giving him choice clothings and probably the biggest meat in the pot of soup etc.

This really attracted hatred from his siblings. This was later compounded by the 2 dreams he had which pointed to one fact...he was going to rule over them....really? Joseph? We shall see,
3.
his other siblings said.
📌
Genesis 37:20b MSG
We'll see what his dreams amount to."
📍
Now, let's just bypass all the paparazzi of his journey to slavery, pothiphar's house, imprisonment etc and then fast-forward to his appointment as the new Prime Minister of Egypt.

My Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles -27th March, 2023

This started on a very wet morning. Not my ideal moment for early morning drill.

Stated of with praying in the Spirit and then, this song by Nathaniel Bassey, Tobechukwu suddenly popped up in my earpiece...had no choice but, ImageImageImage
to flow with the lovely song.

Don't know the meaning though, but, I guess he was being grateful to his maker, and that dictated the tone this morning.

Honestly, we have more than enough to be grateful for. Note, many are grounded today because of INGRATITUDE.

IN THE THINGS OF
GOD, THANKSGIVING or GRATITUDE IS VERY KEY.

Gratitude before "those things" come, when they come and after taking deliveries.

Anyways

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- That competitive spirit is killing and we are just UNMINDFUL...

Matthew 18:1 KJV
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

THIS ARGUMENT PROBABLY STARTED BETWEEN THEM DAYS EARLIER.
You will observe that those asking Jesus the question of who will be the greatest was asked by His very own disciples, those very close to him, those who should know better....not the Pharisees, d Sadducees or the Scribes. If the question was asked by any of the Three Musketeers
(The Pharisees, The Sadducees & The Scribes), we would probably not be too surprised. They have a history..

Now, let's look at our "world" today. As it was in the days of the disciples and in ministry, so it is now. The competition amongst we believers is tearing down almost

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂
Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,
OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
