‘Unto thee lift I  up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that He have mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are ease, and with the contempt of the proud’.

Eternal God of all creation, the great and mighty God who dwells in unapproachable light, let these words of the Holy Scripture that I have declared sanctify my tongue tonight, counter the power of the evil man assigned from time to time to hinder my prayers. I therefore address the heavens by the word of the Lord, let your doors be opened now to the receiving of my prayers. O web of darkness, I release by faith the fire of the Almighty to consume you and your operator. God is still on high and His power has not by a moment been reduced. Shall God on high indeed experience shame? Seeing that there are both human and spirit adversaries not far on assignment to continually hinder prayers and stop the flow of testimonies from the well of God. Ah! the Mighty One of Jacob says: ‘and my people shall never be ashamed’.

PROPHETIC PRAYERS IN AN HOUR WITH THE GREAT I AM

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 2, No. 44 – Monday, 30th October, 2017

(Deuteronomy 32:4, Isaiah 3:11, Isaiah 48:22, 2 Thessalonians 1:6)

PROPHETIC PRAYERS IN AN HOUR WITH THE GREAT I AM

The tragedy that has often befallen man is not in the fact that man is often bedeviled by problems. Rather, the tragedy is in the fact that man often blames the Great I Am for his problems (Numbers 11:1).
But O man, understand the lamentation of the ancient friend of the Almighty in Genesis 18:25. Therein, this friend of God and the greatest Patriarch of Faith lamented: ‘…… shall not the judge of all the earth do right?’

If God, the righteous judge is just and full of equity, can He possibly be the source of evil and all sorts of problems? Agreed, He permits them sometimes for reasons which always pans out for our good eventually.
But despite this loving permission for a lovely outcome, can God ever be the same as satan? Shall He be found exercising the atrocities perpetrated by satan? The unequivocal responses are NO and NO.
Understand further dear reader and child of the Most High that the Eternal One derives no pleasure in our sufferings. Neither is He pleased with the enemy of our souls and the source of man’s problems.

A GOOD THING

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 2, No. 43 – Monday, 23rd October, 2017

(Psalm 92)
‘A GOOD THING’

If ever the knowledge of such unimaginable power and limitless miracles ignited by praises to God has been tapped into by man, man should never have been in his present situation. Unarguably, emotion is the catalyst of most reactions whether towards spiritual or towards physical issues. This is the reason most prayers seem to be most fervent but far less effective. Why?

The potency and effectiveness of prayers is in the state of the heart expressing the prayers which must be a heart of righteousness and faith, not necessarily an emotion-laden heart. This same rule applies to praises. It is equally the state of the heart.

Unarguably still, whilst emotions can be both positive and negative, however in the instance of praises, the emotions must be such that has been preconditioned by certain other factors. Foremost of these factors are joyfulness and conscious choice. Unsurprisingly, the first of these two conditions is further preconditioned by the second.

The implication of the aforesaid is that even joyfulness is a matter of choice. Indeed, without being unnecessarily verbose, choice itself is a matter of choice. Why? The choice to do anything is a right, not a binding obligation. Which then means that as a right, one can elect to exercise it or not.

But how so good it would have been if the right of the choice to praise is a choice without a choice. Again, the question is: why? The reason is not far fetched. It is a good thing to praise. If the prayers and requests to God are the aeroplanes conveying men to their constituent destinations, praises are the engines and wings that assist in the taking-off of the aeroplanes and equally sustaining such aeroplanes in flight.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN’S DREAM ABOUT HER PASTOR’S WIFE

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 2, No. 42 – Monday, 16th October, 2017

(Leviticus 8:10-12, Psalm 45:7-9 13-14, Matthew 6:1-34)

THE AMERICAN WOMAN’S DREAM ABOUT HER PASTOR’S WIFE

As Joseph and Daniel clearly indicated to Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar in Genesis 41:16 and Daniel 2:17-22 respectively, God alone owns the ingenuity and instrumentality of interpreting dreams.
The interpretation of spiritual mysteries, revelations, dreams and visions is a gift from God to man. In some instances, such gift comes to man by asking. At other times, it is solely by divine endowment by reason of grace. It is in this class of divine endowment by grace that I have found part of my bishoprick office for some years now.

So, like many other cases, this American woman’s call came through to me a few days ago. She had had a dream for which she was seriously troubled, and needed an interpreter. I had already gone through with the interpretation before she informed me that the woman being addressed by the dream was her current pastor’s dream. Read through her dream account below.

‘I saw this woman in my dream sitting in the midst of a number of other women. The other women were properly dressed and looking radiant. But for this woman, her clothes were shabby, scruffy and dirty. As I looked further, I discovered also that her head and hair were very dry, shaggy and unkempt too. Sir, what does this mean?’

(Heb.10:35-36, Gen.21:1-8)

PATIENCE COUNTS: DON’T THROW-IN THE TOWEL

 

Ever heard or read about the old fabled story of the lost egg in the sea? The fable informs that once upon a time there was a mother-hen. On one unfortunate moment whilst this mother-hen was on the shore of the sea, her only egg was suddenly carried away to the depth of the sea by an unexpected surge of water torrent.

In absolute despair, the mother-hen wailed for assistance. But not even the strongest or tallest of humanity could offer a single help. Then one came along who informed  mother-hen to rather pray to God , be patient with Him until He, the Almighty comes by.

True to that wise counsel, mother-hen prayed and watched in patience. Unprepared and unexpected one day, God indeed came by, and with the infinite hands of divinity, the Almighty stretched His hands into the depth of the sea and took out the lost egg.

THE MYSTERY OF GERIZIM

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 2, No. 40 – Monday, 2nd October, 2017

(Judges 9:1-57, Proverbs 26:1-2)

THE MYSTERY OF GERIZIM (Part 3)

Curses take firm root, thrive, dominate and continue to direct at will the reason for the existence of lives because there is an underlying cause. Curses tend to possess a defiant characteristic non-cessation of dastard acts because there is always a legal force giving strength to the cause(s) which triggered the curse(s).

Thus curses remain in that state of unbroken chain or non-cessation of generational transcendency until a more superior legal force breaks the backbone of the legal force strengthening the cause behind the curse.

It is sad but so true that curses exist in the lives of even the most seriously born-again child of God. The rather unfortunate dark side of curses is that curses never want anyone to know or believe that they exist in one’s life.

Another characteristic fact about curses is that curses are living entities which do reactivate themselves when one’s career is at the edge of making a huge breakthrough. One undeniable spiritual fact worthy of mention about curses is that curses have ultimate purposes for their existence and/or their reactivation.
