Life was on a walk down the street It met with so many juicy opportunities Opportunities that makes one seem so relevant on Earth and not in heaven Opportunities that makes one sin against God and even Man. Life almost wanted to consider these opportunities But it thought about God What is God saying about this? And Life paused and said "What shall separate me from the love of Christ" Life was made up Life was focused on God On it's way,it met with Distraction Distraction tried convincing life It said to life"Enjoy when you are still alive" When you are dead,that's the end. Forgetting that there is a Life after Life Distraction made life realize the presence of Grace Life responded "Shall we continue in sin that Grace may Abound?" Life said to distraction "We do not know the hour or minute of the Lord's Coming" What happens if He meets you in Sin? Don't be distracted The Lord's coming is near.

FESTIVAL OF PRAISE 2020 THEME: LET THE EARTH HEAR HIS PRAISE TEXT: ISAIAH 12:5  *"Because of your wonderful deeds,we will sing your praise everywhere on Earth"(Contemporary English version).* Praise is a stream that flows from the inward. It is until you have lived a life of praise that you can tell the Earth about his praise. Just like you can't tell the world about Christ when you've not had a personal encounter with Christ. If you do based on what you've heard about Christ,you would actually not flow well in the discussion. Now,let's take the life of the woman with the issue of blood as a case study. Text: matt9:20-22,mark5:25-34,luke8:43-48. Have you ever thought of the life the woman with the issue of blood would have lived for 12years? She was rejected,became an outcast (you will not want to sit beside her due to the odour). She spent all that she had so that she can get well but her case grew worse. She once thought of committing suicide,she hated herse...

*DONT LOOK BACK*  *TEXT: GEN19* Yielding to instructions is indispensable. Instructions can Make or Mar us depending on the personality of the instructor. In the book of Gen13:13, we were made to realise that the men of sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord. Infact the atrocities they committed was more than that which was committed in the days of Noah. And God was ready to destroy them.  *Don't look back* is a command that needs to be obeyed. In the case of lot and his family,they were actually in an unpleasant situation that required them to vacate the land of sodom immediately ,which they never planned for. They could not gather their properties. Even when they were told to leave the land of sodom,they lingered, they were relunctant .But the angel held their hands and led lot ,his wife and his two daughters out of the city of sodom and ordered them not to look back. In GEN19:24-26, we were made to understand that the Lord rained down burning sulphur on...

*WHAT KIND OF A VESSEL ARE YOU? UNTO HONOUR OR DISHONOR?*  Vessel means a hollow container, especially one used to hold liquid such as bowl. Biblically,a vessel is a person embodied with some particular qualities/ potentials. What qualifies us as vessels unto honor is how we live our lives and who we live for.  *2Tim2:21(Contemporary English Version).* *This is also how it is with people.*  *The one who stops* *doing evil and make themselves pure will become* *special.Their lives will be holy and pleasing to their* *master and they will be able to do all kind of good deeds.*  This scripture above states that before we can become vessels unto honor,we must: *Stop doing evil * Make ourselves pure. These two can be summarize as living a sinless life. Living a sinless life will make our lives Holy and pleasing to our master. The master then will give us power to do all kinds of good deeds.  *2tim2:21* *(Darby Bible Translation)*  *If therefore one  shall h...

The first question God asked man was "Where are you" Where you are determines how far you will go in life. You have been placed in a particular location by God And that location is where you would fulfill destiny. Sometimes we ask ourselves why God has created us to be born into the family we find ourselves But yet, your presence in that family isn't a mistake You are in that family to fulfill a purpose. You have been created as man because God has equipped you with so much potentials You were not born empty So if you are not making use of those potentials to glorify God Then, you are making a big mistake. Now, Making use of those potentials to glorify God is a subject to your location.  *Where are you?* Are you in the presence of God or Outside? It is in the presence of God that we find fullness of Joy And it is the joy we find in the presence of God that gives us inspiration in the fulfillment of our purpose on Earth. You get to know your purpose through/in God and God ...

Here on Earth,souls has been entrusted into our hands according to our abilities. The master according to Matt25 vs14-30 is Jesus Christ.
