HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

Imagine this, do you know if my dad was a native Doctor, it's more likely that I would have been going in that same direction today. The scriptures says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

I'm so grateful to God for the gift of a father. I've received so much, I mean awesome and quality training from my dad. I've learnt so much in life by watching my dad. I've learnt how to pray because I saw him pray.... I've learnt to celebrate and value the word because I saw him celebrating the word. I've learnt how to respect a woman because I saw him respect my mum, I've learnt to be satisfied with what I have because I saw him satisfied with what he had, I've learnt to preach the word because I saw him doing the same both in church and outside of church, I've learnt to give because I saw him giving.

Time will not permit me to count everything but I want to join millions around the world to celebrate this unique personality which God has given me as a father. Dad from the depth of my heart, I want to say that I love you dearly! Once again, happy Father's Day! Please feel free to send a shoutout to your dad on the comment section.

WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE?

WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE?

Then Moses said to the Lord, “But, Lord, I am telling you, I am not a good speaker. I have never been able to speak well. And that hasn’t changed since you started talking to me. I am still not a good speaker.

You know that I speak slowly and don’t use the best words.” Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who can make someone able to speak? Who can make a person able to see? I am the one. I am the Lord. So go. I will be with you when you speak. I will give you the words to say.” But Moses said, “My Lord, I beg you to send someone else, not me.”

Then the Lord became angry with Moses and said, “All right! I’ll give you someone to help you. Aaron the Levite is your brother, isn’t he? He is a good speaker. In fact, Aaron is already coming to meet you, and he will be happy to see you. I will tell you what to say. Then you will tell Aaron, and I will help him say it well. I will tell both of you what to do.

So Aaron will speak for you. Like God, you will speak to him, and he will tell the people what you say. (Exodus 4:10-16 ERV)

Wow, what a touching story! Moses had enough reasons not to do it like many people today. I know a lot of people will say,"am a shy person, no body will listen to me, my work takes my time, my school, my parents etc."

Moses reasons were so real to the senses but have you ever asked yourself why was God angry even when he knew about Moses limitations. I guess God wanted to proof his power through him but Moses still wouldn't see into the plan rather he was concentrating on his weakness. If you are reading this message now, probably you are also concentrating on your weakness, the spirit of God want you to see the bigger picture. Believe me, You stand to gain so much if you choose to let God use you in bringing the good news of salvation to others in your sphere of contact.

Today, I charge everyone of us to Let the love of God which has been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit, move us to think and act differently. Let's yield ourselves to the move of the spirit regardless of our limitations. Glory to God.

DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHERS!

DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHERS!

Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don’t compare yourself with others. (Gal 6:4 CEV)
The only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.

Don't compare your progress with that of others. We all need our own time to travel our own distance.
Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.

Winners compare their achievements with their goals, while losers compare their achievements with those of other people.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

LOVE YOURSELF!!!
YOU ARE UNIQUE AND VALUABLE!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST OF YOU!!! -None was like you, none is like you and none will ever be like you. You are the only one of you God will ever have.

HAPPY NEW MONTH EVERYONE

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SESSION WITH REV. (DR.) CHRIS OYAHKILOME.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SESSION WITH REV. (DR.) CHRIS OYAHKILOME.

Question– Shella (Belgium): Good day Pastor, is it possible that a true born again Christian can still be under a curse; that is, any kind of curse?

Answer: Well, any Christian could place himself under a curse like any Christian could allow the devil to do anything to him. It’s up to you. But, no curse on its own can have any effect on you. Doesn’t matter who is cursing, it’ll have no effect on you, but you could place yourself under a curse. And so, it’s just like this: when God said in the Garden of Eden, you remember when Adam and Eve sinned against God, and God never cursed Adam…He never cursed eve.

He said to them, the day you eat of the tree in the midst of the garden, you shall surely die. It wasn't a curse. He was just telling them the repercussions of their actions; it was no curse. He said you shall surely die. It was the result of their actions; that’s what he told them and when they did, he didn’t curse them, instead God said, “cursed is the ground for your sake” [Genesis 3:17]. He never cursed Adam. Why? Because he already blessed them. When God blesses you, HE CAN'T CURSE YOU. He can’t curse you! It’s not possible. So he couldn’t even curse Adam. He said, “Cursed is the ground for your sake! Out of your sweat shall you eat bread until you return to dust; for dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return” [Genesis 3:17-19]. No curse!

He already told them the result. Same thing with the woman! He said, “In sorrow shall your conception be” [Genesis 3:16]. No curse! So, it’s important that you recognize this.

BUILD YOUR SPIRIT BY SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

BUILD YOUR SPIRIT BY SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself... (1 Corinthians 14:4).

For you to experience appreciable spiritual growth, you must speak in tongues often. Praying in tongues is an effective means of spiritual communication with the Lord; it transcends the natural mind or intellect (1 Corinthians 14:14). You’re stirred when you speak in tongues, the anointing wells up like currents from your spirit.

According to our opening verse, you edify yourself when you speak in tongues. “Edify” derives from the Greek word “oikodomeo,” which means to construct or build up, much in the same sense as building or constructing an edifice. The idea given to us by the Spirit of God is that when we speak in other tongues, we build up ourselves, like an edifice, brick by brick, as you would a physical structure (Jude 1:20).

In Acts 20:32, Paul said to the brethren at Ephesus “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up....” Connecting this with our text lets us know that speaking in tongues works in conjunction with the Word to build your spirit. If you want to grow stronger spiritually, not only should you study and listen to God’s Word, you should also speak in tongues frequently.

The Bible says, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 1:20). Speaking in other tongues is therefore a necessary requirement for your spiritual growth and upliftment. If you’re born again and have received the Holy Spirit, you can and should speak in tongues frequently. You don’t need to wait for special prayer times; wherever you are, speak in tongues. It will condition and programme your spirit for the life of success and dominion.

PRAYER
Dear Father, my life is transformed, and my spirit is conditioned for success, dominion and victory as I speak in other tongues. I’m catapulted to higher realms of glory, strengthened with your miracle-working ability in my spirit, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Give Your Dreams Positive Interpretations

QUESTION: Dear Pastor, if one happens to find his/herself eating in the dream, what does it mean or what should one do? Pastor does it means am possess like many says or something? Please your answer is needed on this.

ANSWER: Give Your Dreams Positive Interpretations

Jeremiah 29:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

In certain Christian circles, many believe that eating in your dream is ominous; they associate it with the activities of demons. But could there possibly be anything wrong with eating in your sleep? What’s the position of God’s Word on the subject? Let’s begin by reviewing

Isaiah 29:7-8: “And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel…shall be as a dream of a night vision. It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite…”

If a man eats in his dream and still wakes up hungry, it means he really didn’t eat anything. This therefore
shows there’s nothing to eating in your dream; it’s just the imagination of your spirit.

Satan thrives on the fear and ignorance of people. If you had a dream for example, and then you’re uncertain about the meaning, satan could launch an attack against your mind by suggesting negative interpretations to that dream. Fear might then creep in, which ultimately could pave way for demons to have a field day. So the problem isn’t with the dream; it has a lot more to do with accepting the negative interpretation of the dream brought to you by satan.

So you ought to be smart to always subject your dreams to the Word of God. Don’t accept the lie from satan that eating in your dream is ominous; if anything, it means prosperity. Throughout the Bible, there’s no place satan gave people food to eat in a dream; only God fed people in their dream, example is Peter (Acts 10:9-15).

If you found yourself eating in your dream, don’t be afraid. Wake up and begin to prophesy: “I was eating in my dream; therefore I shall always have food. I shall always have plenty!” Don’t wake up crying that someone has bewitched you in your dream, for you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus, and every food you eat is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. Besides, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, be it in your dream or in real life.

Confession:
I’ve learned today to always cream my dreams. I refuse to base the outcome of my life on the lies and suggestions of the enemy. Rather, I see myself in the greater light of God’s Word as the true victor that I am. Hallelujah!

Further Study:
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

HE DOESN'T CONVICT YOU OF SIN.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world (1 Corinthians 11:31-32).

It’s not the ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict God’s people of sin. The Bible says the Holy Spirit will convict the world of sin, not the Church. For the Church, the Bible says, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged” (1Corinthians 11:31). That means by our own spirits, we can tell when we’ve done something wrong, and our own spirits will judge us. We let our spirits judge us, so that we might not be judged of the Lord. Your spirit has the nature of
God.

When you do wrong, what you need is to act on the Word of God: receive forgiveness. You don’t ask for forgiveness, which is where a lot of people miss it. The Bible didn’t say that you ask for forgiveness; rather, it says in Hebrews 4:16 , “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Did you notice it doesn’t say, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, and ask for mercy?” Instead, it says “to obtain,” that is, collect it.

You may have done something wrong and prayed to God to forgive you, and in your heart, you knew He forgave you. Some days later, the guilt of what you did weighs down on your mind and it seems as though He didn’t quite forgive you, so you find yourself asking for forgiveness again. The truth is, He isn’t responsible for the accusation you felt in your mind, because it’s not part of His ministry to convict you of sin.

Jesus is your advocate with the Father. Thus, when you say, “Father, I receive forgiveness for what I did,” immediately, you’re forgiven. The Bible says He is faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). It didn’t say He’s quick to judge us and convict us. Your spirit does that; but God is greater than your spirit (1 John 3:20-21).

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness bestowed on me in Christ Jesus. I function in righteousness, because I have the nature of Christ. My heart and conscience are purified in Christ. I walk in the reality of the life of righteousness, which I have in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

1 John 1:7-10 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

NEVER GIVE UP

FOR COUPLES AND THOSE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED

FOR COUPLES AND THOSE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED

FOR OUR MEN:

Carry your wife to the bed when she sleeps off in the sitting room, make her feel like a baby at times. The truth is, every woman wants to be treated like a 2yrs old girl at times, that's why women behave childish or silly at times.
You may have an argument with your wife and the next thing is that you will see her putting her bags outside the house, it doesn't mean she is asking for a divorce, she is just being childish, she simply wants you to hold her, look her in the eyes and say "I am sorry for the argument".

That's women for you. Every brother needs to study in the university of women before getting married, read books about them, learn what the Bible says about them and you will hardly have a problem with them.
Though there may still be some challenges, because you're both from different background and your imperfections are bound to stand.
So, read books about marriage, an ideal home, child upbringing, importance of marriage and the likes. Don't just jump into marriage with an empty head about matrimony, you will have problems.

How many men can tolerate their wives nagging let alone shouting? It's said that, you should be quiet when your spouse is angry, when one person is fire, the other person should be water.
Brothers, when your wife steps on your feet intentionally or mistakenly, don't let your eyes turn red, just smile at her, if she did it intentionally, she is just playing with you, if she did it mistakenly, its not her fault. So why shout at her over every small mistake?

As a man learn to ignore some things, don't be petty. Some men are feminist; Do "hide and seek" with your wife, sing poems for your wife in the garden or inside the house, even if she is teasing you.
Assist her in the house chores, pound yam, fetch water, don't make her look like your maid. Bathe together, wake her up for prayers, swim with her if it's available, cook together, teach her how to cook if she doesn't know how to cook. Cooking is not the ticket to Paradise. It's not only a feminine duty.
Use blind folds to cover her eyes and tickle her, scare her at times, call her from work/ school, text her, write "I love you" in a small note and put it under her pillow or in her purse or in her bathroom or in her cosmetics box or inside her cupboard. Kiss her always, cuddle her, pamper her and play with her hair. Always tell her, she's beautiful and that you're happy to have her as your partner.

All these are part of being romantic...When a woman tells you that you are not romantic. It means you are not doing all these things, its not the romance in the bedroom she is talking about. That's why, you brothers have to study "women's language" it's a 10 year course.

FOR LADIES:

It is part of your duty to be romantic too. Your shyness shouldn't get to your marital life and that doesn't mean you should be shy to express your love to your husband.

Send sweet text messages to your husband at work, sometimes even if you are in the room discussing with your husband, still be chatting with him on social media (Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, Imo, bbm etc) even though he is right in front of you, it's fun and romantic! Discuss how lovely he is on your facebook timeline, this will trip him a lot.
You should be chatting with your husband, not other men on social media networks.

Buy flowers for him. When eating, give him the biggest meat. At times, bake cake for him to surprise him. Ladies, use your soft voice to sing for him, be creative, a poem like (twinkle, twinkle lovely spouse, how I wonder what you are, up above my world so high, like a diamond in my heart).
Sing poems for him, no shyness is allowed. Don't just be welcoming your husband with an angry face because there is no money in the house, God is our provider. Don't welcome your husband with your body smelling maggi, don't only play with your husband when he receives his salary.

Welcome him with a warm hug always, and when he is going to work, pray to God to keep him safe and for him to be successful. Support him, advise him, wipe his tears, be grateful to him, it's not easy to be a man, when you see his faith waxing cold, encourage him, don't threaten him that you will seek for divorce, don't compare him with other men, buy him gifts, wash his clothes, sing for him, praise him in a way that he wouldn't think of an alternative, be the best cook, wash his car if u have the time, dress him up, pamper him when he is sick.

Wake him with a peck and don't complain about his snoring habit.
Let kiss be the messenger between you. Read books on intimacy, don't learn it from what you see in movies..
Most of what you see there are not real. Call your husband pet names. Though you can also call him by his name even if he is 30yrs older than you, as far as he is comfortable with it.

Remember that, God said, men are the protectors and maintainers of women. So respect him and honour him even if he is younger than you. Marriage isn't a bed of roses but a bed of sacrifice. It's said that, there is nothing better for two people who love each other than marriage.
To fall in love is a disease and its cure is to marry the person one is in love with. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance and you find out you still care for that person.

Finally, married men, divide your nights into 3: one for yourself (sleeping), one for your wife and one for your Lord.. That's the best night one can ever have.
LOVE MAKING IS ONLY FOR MARRIED PEOPLE. IF YOU CAN'T HOLD BACK, PLEASE GET MARRIED.
I WISH YOU LOVE.

REMEMBER, EXCUSES MAKE YOU SMALL AND YOU BECOME IRRELEVANT.

YOU CAN HAVE RESULTS OR EXCUSES NOT BOTH!

Exodus 4:1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.

Prior to this verse we see that God had spoken to Moses in Exodus 3 and made it clear that God had
selected Moses to lead the children of Israel from the land of captivity Egypt to a land flowing with milk and honey in Canaan (Exodus 3:8-10). God had spoken to Moses through the burning bush that was not consumed by fire (Exodus 3:2). God even told Moses exactly what he was supposed to tell the children of Israel but as we have seen in our opening verse (Exodus 4:1) he was still filled with doubt. You must know that when God gives you an instruction, the
ability for you to do it is in the instruction by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In Exodus 3:11 Moses told God point blank that he did not have ability to lead the children of Israel. God
made it clear to Moses that he must not worry because
God was going to be with him as he led the children of Israel. God was going to enable Moses to lead excellently but the man still found another excuse in Exodus 3:13 as Moses asked God to give him the name of the God that had authorised him to lead the mission. Can you imagine, God is talking to him and
he has the audacity to say "God what is your name?"
God answered again but Moses continued with excuses (read Exodus 4:1-17). You could nickname Moses “Mr Excuses”.
Moses had so many excuses because he continually looked down upon himself; he had a mindset of
negative thoughts all the time. He looked down upon himself and could not see the testimony that the grace of God had supernaturally located him to lead the children of Israel. God knew all the inadequacies of
Moses, including the fact that he had killed an Egyptian and fled the scene, murderer on the run.
God chose Moses and all he had to do was to carry out the instructions of God.
Too many Christians are so busy seeing their inadequacies they cannot see the great potential that
is in them. God is telling them to do something but
there is always an inadequacy that they find in themselves and they struggle to do it. The truth is that inadequacy is a decoy from satan to ensure
that you lose time and you fail to accomplish what God wants you to do. I fully support people getting
extra knowledge and qualifications but there are too many of God’s children holding or pursuing
qualifications that are irrelevant to what God has destined for their lives.
Some people have their inadequacies/limitations prescribed for them by critics and they lose the
mindset that they can do what God has purposed for them. Often these limitations are nicely packaged as “constructive criticism” when in fact “it is the devil
speaking” discouragement into your life.
Go ahead and do what god has told you to do. Be bold and do not hesitate. The Holy Spirit will perform God’s word in your life in Jesus name. Amen.
When Moses stopped looking at his inadequacies and
started looking at God’s ability, he excelled in leading
the children of Israel out of captivity. Excuses ceased
to be a part of his lifestyle and he utilised the opportunity God gave him to shine. We still remember him to this very day.
REMEMBER, EXCUSES MAKE YOU SMALL AND YOU BECOME IRRELEVANT

Little Man.

Little Man.

This is for everyone..............

The Little Man is the person in your life who puts you down.

Who tells you that your dream is not possible.

Who says that you're not good enough.

Who makes you doubt yourself.

We all have have a Little Man in our lives.

And Little Man makes me upset.

Because Little Man is a dream killer.

This is important because at the beginning stage of your dream you don't have all the answers.

You have a vision for what you want to accomplish but you don't quite know how it's going to work out.

That's ok.

Your friends are the people who see the holes in your plan and help you figure out ways to make it stronger.

Little Man will find everything wrong with what you're doing and hate on your idea.

And because you don't have all the answers yet, Little Man makes you doubt yourself.

This is often where dreams die.

For that one brief moment you thought about becoming more than you are right now.

You thought about how your life could change for the better.

You thought about the impact you could make.

You had the courage to step outside your comfort zone.

And then...

BAM!

Little Man puts you back in line.

"You can't do this," he says.

"You don't know what you're doing," he says.

"This will never work," he says.

And so you quit.

That one seed of doubt grows like a cancer and the next day you go back to your ordinary life.

Don't listen to Little Man.

Little Man doesn't know what he's talking about.

He's jealous.

He's afraid.

He doesn't want to see the people around him become successful.

And so instead of doing something courageous himself, he spends his life putting others down.

Entrepreneurs are gladiators.

Every day we go to fight for our business.

We get in the arena while the world watches.

We risk embarrassment, failure, and criticism to chase our dreams.

Little Man is in the crowd.

He laughs at you.

Jokes at you.

Throws popcorn at you.

But remember that you're the gladiator and he's in the audience.

He's nothing compared to you.

Don't let Little Man get you down.

If you want something, go get it and don't let anyone tell you that you can't have it.

If you believe in it enough, you'll find a way to make it happen.

Believe.

MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS; DON'T GIVE UP.

MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS; DON'T GIVE UP.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong (1 Corinthians 16:13).

God wants you to be steadfast in your walk of faith, because in due season, that is, at the right time, you’ll reap a harvest, if you don’t give up. As a child of God, there’re unique abilities that God has placed within you. You might be at a stage in your life where you’re not sure whether you should continue doing the things the Lord has committed to you, due to challenges, persecution, tests and trials. But let me tell you this: maintain your focus. Don’t give up.

The Bible says if you faint in the day of adversity, if you give up, because of the troubles and challenges you’re facing, then your strength is small. But your strength isn’t small, because the Lord Himself is your strength. To give up in the day of trouble means you trusted in yourself. 2 Corinthians 3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” Trust Him to see you through; He’s your ability.

No wonder, the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, prays that you be strengthened with might (miracle-working ability) by the Spirit in your inner man. How do you strengthen your inner man? It’s through the Word of God and praying in the Holy Ghost. When you spend time studying and meditating on the Word, in addition to speaking in tongues regularly, your spirit is energized with miracle-working ability. Suddenly, the whole world becomes small to you, and you see that, really, nothing is impossible to you.

When you’re strengthened with divine enablement in your inner man, you become too persuaded to be dissuaded. You’re like Abraham who, being fully persuaded, staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the inspiration and assurance that comes from your Word. Your grace is sufficient for me in all things, and I’m fully persuaded that my sufficiency is of you. Thank you for setting me on the course of eternal success; I triumph gloriously today and always, by the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your tomorrow is dependent on the choices and decisions you make today.

Anyone can do anything for you, including praying for you, sharing the Word with you; but no one can make decisions for you. You’ve got to make your own decisions. God’s role is to guide you through the Word, and the Holy Spirit, so you can make the right decisions. Many people have troubles in their lives because of bad decisions. Your life today has turned out to be the way it is because of the choices you’ve made. In the same vein, your tomorrow is dependent on the choices and decisions you make today.

God has given you the right to choose either life and blessings or death and curses.

God has given you the right to choose either life and blessings or death and curses. He didn’t pre-destine anyone for failure; rather, He wants you to prosper and be in health (3 John 1:2); He’s ordained a great life for you. Therefore, decide that you’re going to fulfil the dream He has for you and be who He’s destined you to be. It’s your responsibility; no one can do it for you. How you live your life, how you make your decisions, is entirely your responsibility.

Don’t allow circumstances determine what you’ll be in life.

You can choose to be a success! You can choose to do excellently well in life. It’s a choice that you have to make. You might ask, “Is it that simple?” Yes! And I admonish you to make that choice today if you haven’t done so already. Don’t allow circumstances determine what you’ll be in life. Make the decision to live the glorious life that God has planned for you.

YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIFE.

YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIFE.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Sometimes, people wonder, “If God’s Word says I’m a success, why are things not working out for me?” What they haven’t realised is that even though God wants you to be prosperous, successful, excellent, and sound, you have to line up with the Word, and decide to be all He wants you to be. It’s a personal choice that you must make.

Anyone can do anything for you, including praying for you, sharing the Word with you; but no one can make decisions for you. You’ve got to make your own decisions. God’s role is to guide you through the Word, and the Holy Spirit, so you can make the right decisions. Many people have troubles in their lives because of bad decisions. Your life today has turned out to be the way it is because of the choices you’ve made. In the same vein, your tomorrow is dependent on the choices and decisions you make today.

How clean is your mind? How clean are your thoughts? How clean are your desires?

How clean is your mind? How clean are your thoughts? How clean are your desires? It's important that you renew your mind with the Word, and be sure that your affections, choices, thoughts and desires are in line with the Word. Be a true Christian, in heart and in action.

The Word of God has been given to us to check our actions, motives, thoughts, and desires. The Scriptures have been given to us to build, train, instruct, and correct us in the life of righteousness.

Let God's Word guide you. As you give yourself wholly to the Word, it'll transform your life and help you form the right character and mind-set. It'll get rid of all the wrong stuff and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Jesus said, "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you" (John 15:3). The Word of God will purify and sanctify you.

Even now, the Word is carrying out His ministry in you, cleansing you and taking you to another level of glory. Make up your mind to live the Word and express the righteousness of God. Discontinue anything in your life that's inconsistent with God's Word. Live the true Christian life.
