UNSELECTED BY MAN BUT ELECTED BY GOD ONTO EARTHLY RECOGNITION AND ETERNAL RECKON

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 6, No. 5 – Sunday, 28th March, 2021
(Acts.1:1-3, 15-26)
UNSELECTED BY MAN BUT ELECTED BY GOD ONTO EARTHLY RECOGNITION AND ETERNAL RECKON

Have you ever been in a situation in which you were fit for the job or a given position and you were unelected or not selected by man? What was your immediate or eventual reaction or response? Did you react badly? If your reaction was emotional and ruthless, then your focus perhaps in life generally has been a focus on man, not on God. Did you try to find out whether your nonselection was a function of a spiritual battle you need to pray about? Understand that an uncareful church is constantly under spiritual manipulation. So the church may have been manipulated against you.
Consider the story below. It was Fathers’ day celebration in 2009. Something strange happened in church that Sunday. The Pastor of the church, a fine reverend gentle man decided to honour all the fathers and potential fathers in church that day with a gift of one Mass-Bar Chocolate to everyone. The sharing went smoothly. That was no strange thing. But I was left out of the gift. That was certainly strange to me because although I was not yet married, I was already about 35 years of age. I tried to indicate that I hadn’t got a piece of chocolate yet, but the Lord restrained me.

Note that each time the Lord restrains man from that which is good to man, it is because the Lord has something much better or the best. No matter how painful the restraint may come, be informed that the end of the matter is what matters most; and with God, the end is always extremely so sweet.
As the Sunday service wore on, the Pastor began to minister in his usual wonderful fashion. Then the Pastor raised a question: “what is the longest name in the Bible”, The Pastor asked. To this question, there was no answer from any member of the church except me.
As soon as I gave the answer as: Maher-Shalal-hash-baz, the entire church erupted with great laughter; the Pastor ran over to my seat with great ecstasy, and gave me two Mass-Bar Chocolates. Hmmm! Two Mass-Bar Chocolates as against one which every other father and potential father got.
What if (as a blind person) I had reacted, claiming discrimination? What if I had been emotional over nothing being in a white dominated church? The patient one will always get to know the reason behind everything and even obtain the best in the very end. For if only the human eyes can be patiently careful, they will behold the human nose with ease.

Our first text in this edition reads:
1The former treatise have I made O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandment unto the Apostles whom He had chosen.
3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Wow! Our brother, Doctor Luke, knew about the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ right from the very start! Hmmm! Let us consider our brother, Doctor Luke in today’s first and second Scriptures more deeply.
The evidence of the first Scripture in Acts.1:1-3 is that Doctor Luke had been with the Lord Jesus from the very start of His earthly ministry. But when one Apostle was needed to be chosen in order to replace Judas Iscariot. The man, Doctor Luke was not even considered. Rather, manly intellect through the instrumentality of “casting lot” selected Mathias. But by divine election, Doctor Luke was approved by God.
With due respect and honour to Apostle Mathias, the question just cannot be ignored; was any thing of note ever heard about Apostle Mathias? But the one who was divinely elected remained remarkable on earth through out his time on earth and until today and after now. Again, divine election put him in eternal reckon.
Doctor Luke by the Spirit of God gave us one of the four gospels and the book of Acts. He was not an Apostle, and probably did not have the auratory and charisma possessed by Apostle Mathias. So, we can say that before man, Doctor Luke had no voice. But understand the spiritual difference. Apostle Mathias had voice before men but no volume for his voice before God. Conversely, Doctor Luke had no voice of recognition before men. But before the Godhead, his silent works had voice and volume.
Dear brother, dear sister, what are you doing for God for which the church, people and the world don’t offer you any respect, appreciation or recognition? Never look back or get weighed down by discouragement. Why? There is One waiting to reward you in the immediate and in the hereafter.
Dear brother, dear sister, look only in the direction of God’s approval and reward, not man’s applause and commendation. Many are called by men and satan. But very few are sent on divine assignment by God, and those He has called, He will justify, and in the end, glorify.

Therefore, I counsel O man, concentrate on God. Avoid what you see which berates you and irritate your God-given spirit man. Avoid the commendations of men and shun church gossip and partisanship in the House of God. Make Christ your daily mirror before whom you constantly stand to beam out the beauty or blurriness of your spiritual face with further instructions to be better and be like Him.
IN THE END, YOU WILL END UP BELOW DIVINE STANDARD IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON MAN AND THE DEEDS OF MAN.

MY FATHER IS RICH IN ALL THINGS AND I AM HIS HEIR

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRY

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 6, No. 4 – Sunday, 21st March, 2021
(Psalms 24:1, 50:10, 82:6)
MY FATHER IS RICH IN ALL THINGS AND I AM HIS HEIR

The eternal Scripture in Psalm 24:1 informs us that ‘the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof’.
I must be correct to say that for as many who believe in God, the Biblical statement that ‘the earth is the Lord’s’ is a restatement of the obvious. Who else can dare own this planet other than the Most Supreme One? I contend that what is rather novel about verse 1 of Psalm 24 is the added phrase, ‘and the fullness thereof’.
The novelty of the word ‘fullness’ is our foremost interest in this phrase. The question is what fullness imply or mean in this context? Fullness as used in Psalm 24:1 means to continue to increase.

The eternal Scripture informs us in Genesis chapter 1:28 that ‘and replenish the earth’. Semantically speaking, the word ‘replenish’ imports the same meaning as the word ‘fullness’.
The Almighty created the earth with a mandate for the earth to continue to expand. Why? Because more than what was created in six days at the start of creation, further creation and recreative increases would continue. This means in many senses that everything that has been created and will be created and being created remains a product of the spoken word at creation: saying, ‘let there be …’.
Great inventions, technological advancement and groundbreaking records by man in modern and in more modern times are all functions of the continuing words of ‘fullness’, ‘replenish’ and ‘let there be…’.

What does all these mean? When God finished the first and original work of creation on the six day in which He created man as the last and indeed the crown of His creation at the time, the Almighty handed over to man the authority to continue from where He stopped and rested on the seventh day.
Understand that from that point the mandate given to man is to ‘replenish the earth’. Agreed, man lost that authority to satan in the garden of Eden. But understand also that the Son of the Living God regained that authority back to man. So, as it is at the moment, God expects and needs man to express that authority on His behalf.
However, there is a sad end to this foregoing conclusion. Since the authority of furthering God’s creative abilities now lies with man, satan too needs man to express that authority in his own name, falsity and subtilty. Why? (1) that he may continue to enjoy the glory that belongs to the Almighty. (2) That his influence, depravity, falsity and evil power may continue to spread on the earth.

Ah! Understand that Satan is constantly in contest with God through man. What does this mean? Without man’s response to satan, satan is actually zero. Since the moment of the Cross of Calvary, Man remains an authority over satan. But man does not know this reality. Do you know that at no time in the Bible did God refer to satan as His son? Do you know that at different points, God referred to man as His son? Understand that even the Son of God was declared as the Son of man. Understand also that the Son of God is our brother born of the same eternal blood (Acts.17:24) and we are co-heirs with Him in God and in the replenishing of the earth.

Ah! Dearly beloved, we have gone too far off the path. If the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof (Ps.24:1), if all the silver and gold are God’s (Hag.2:8) and if the cattle upon a thousand hills belong to God (Ps.50:10) and if we are gods of authority under the Almighty (Ps.82:6), then why are we not groundbreakers in greatness, in breakthroughs and mighty records? Why are we strugglers only? Why is it that the majority of Christians are talkers, not makers, movers, shakers and creators of great things?
The best that most of us are is being preachers without being the manifesters of mighty works. On the other end, however, the children of darkness are performers of worthy courses, great things and mighty inventions. Oh! The princes are now on foot whilst the servants are continuing to ride on horses.
Hmmm! I can understand. The salt of the world has fast lost its savour and become the sand of the world. The light has gone so badly dim. But we are the heir of the great and wealthy God. But our authority lies dormant. Therefore, we feed as though our father is not rich in all things.

I decree therefore that a thousand and far more people who will be reading this edition now and after now, receive the knowledge to realise who you are in God. Receive fresh revival fire to take on your portion and possess them. And I command that we all truly become gods of authority on the earth as designed by the Almighty, in Jesus name.
Please repeat the words of this song now: I am a trillionaire, a trillionaire indeed and in deed. My father is rich in all things, and I am His heir. I realise my position and reach for my possessions today. I exercise my authority I possess my possessions and positions from henceforth. I shall use my possessions, positions and authority to replenish the earth. I shall advance the course of the Almighty and fulfill it without delay, without compromise and without looking back. With my co-blood brother, Christ with me, my success on every sphere is assured and guaranteed. I enforce that success from this day.

IN THE END, GOD MADE MAN TO BECOME A MAKER, BLESSED TO BECOME A BLESSING AND A CREATURE TO BECOME A CREATOR. THEREFORE, MAN MUST NOT BE LESS THAN THE SPOKEN STANDARD OF DIVINE DESIGN.

THE FINAL WORD

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRY

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 6, No. 3 – Sunday, 14th March, 2021
(Prov.23:18, Ex.12:, 1 Kings8:56, Chron.32:8)
THE FINAL WORD

Let us agree without a shadow of doubt that the strata of life exists in hierarchies, often from the least to the greatest. Whether we accept or not, especially by reason of unbelief or atheistic skepticism, there is a Supreme Being at the apex of all of life’s strata. Nothing else lasts but Him. And after Him is nothing else. The keys of the start/the beginning of all things and indeed the end of all ends remains with Him and He is the determiner of all things which are, which was and which will be.
Let us then draw certain conclusions from the foregoing preamble.

First, Proverbs chapter 23:18 states that ‘surely there is an end, and the expectations of the just shall not be cut off’.
The ‘end’ signifies expiry moment to everything that has had a beginning. Consider Eccl.3:1. There is a time apportioned for everything. Put simply, whatever is going on around you or wherever you think you are now, has an expiry date.
Are you flourishing in wealth? Consider the rainy day, and prepare in anticipation through God for it. Are you in that moment when the storm seems unending. Consider that the storm cannot last forever. Life is never as straight as the barrel of a gun; it is rather a containment of several bends or curves. Every journey of life ends with one learning curve or the other, thereby terminating that season.

Second, it means then that no condition lasts forever because change remains one of the few constant things in life. As it is often said in popular parlance, ‘no condition of life is permanent’.

Third, since our tongues are the deliverer or the destroyers of our lives depending on the wrong or right usage, the services of our tongues therefore can always be employed to terminate or enlongate any situation. Dearly beloved, consider these questions.
(1) Where are you now on the journey of life?
(2) Are you satisfied with that present position?
(3) Do you have an understanding of the reason you are in that present position?
(4) What time is God saying that the end will come?

Listen, if God is saying nothing, then consider that God is leaving the choice to you. Therefore, employ the services of your tongue today to effect that required change. Listen beloved, no man can control or successfully contend against your destiny and turn it down without your consent. Why? Because you are the greatest prophet/prophetess of your life besides God. The instrument of your destiny’s control for acceleration is not with the enemy but with you. It is your tongue. Rise up therefore today, and say something.
Remember Mark chapter 11:23, Jesus said you will have what you say. Remember Psalm 81:10, God said, ‘open wide your mouth and I will fill it’. Fill it with what? You are the one who will determine that.

When I was in secondary school, I told my youngest brother that when I am older, I will go to America. Today, I am the only person from my family who has traveled outside my native country to white man’s land. Did you get that?
Remember Exodus chapter 10:28. Did not Pharaoh declare his own end by himself? It is written: ‘and Pharaoh said unto him, get thee from me. Take heed to thyself. See my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face, thou shalt die’.
Do you know that that man Pharaoh never saw Moses again until the day the firstborns in Egypt were slaughtered? The Bible recorded that that night Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron in haste, and seeing each other that dark night, two anointings faced each other, that of light and that of darkness. It was therefore a collision between the stronger and the weaker.
Moses’ anointing prevailed. Why? When the day broke and Israel had journeyhed onto the edge of the Red Sea, Pharaoh pursued, and having declared his own end with his own tongue previously, he died wrecklessly in the Red Sea. Thus his tenure of reign as king and his existence as a living being came to an abrupt end.

Declare with your tongue that no evil will befall your children. That your children will be a million times better than you. That you will not die before your time. That your glory and great legacy will shine greatly whilst you are alive and that they will even outlive you. That wealth and every form of prosperity shall become your errand boy, and lack and losses shall be ended. That your health right now shall blossom and at old age you will not become a liability to anyone for Moses was yet strong even when he was a hundred and twenty years old.
Dearly beloved, command the resources of heaven to begin to answer for you from now. Command down the power and the grace for evangelism upon your life. Command unusual rain of fruitful anointing to flood your head and life now and abide with you forever.

IN THE END, REMEMBER THAT IT IS GOD AND YOUR TONGUE THAT HAVE THE FINAL WORD OVER YOUR LIFE, NOT ANY MAN OR THE ENEMY. I DECLARE WITH THE TONGUE SEASONED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE POWER OF HIS CROSS THAT I SHALL SEE YOU ALL AT THE TOPMOST POINT OF LIFE’S GREATNESS. BE BLESSED FOREVER. AMEN.

THE IMMENSE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRY

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 6, No. 2 – Sunday, 7th March, 2021
(Dan.4:34-37, Jn.3:17, 22)
THE IMMENSE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING

Every man has found himself at his present spiritual level, current achievement, progress, retardation or retrogression, failure or success because of his limited or expanded understanding. Consider the fact below as contained in Proverbs chapter 4:7. The verse under reference reads: ‘Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom; and with all thy getting; get understanding’.
You mean despite wisdom being the most principal thing, there is still need for understanding? Ah! I concede therefore that if wisdom is the path to solution, understanding is the actual solution.

Do you know that the reason people’s spiritual lives are dry, low or stagnated may not be because they aren’t praying or fasting. It may just be a failure of understanding the word of God which they try to study. The lone reason why certain bad dreams come to pass in our lives is not because wisdom failed us as to remembering the dreams after we awoke. But because there was no understanding of the meaning. The lack of understanding of these dreams therefore triggered praying in the wrong direction.
Frankly speaking, without understanding, God’s hidden treasures in a man’s belly can never manifest. Men never get stuck in any sphere of life except when they become bereft of understanding. There is a revelational understanding needed by man in order for him to get closer to God, ascend the ladder of greatness and solve great mysteries and problems.
A riotous home is headed by a husband who lacks understanding. The woman or the wife who constantly nags may be so attractive but lacks understanding. I contend without any trepidations that a clear understanding of any stubborn situation turns that unpleasant situation from a stumbling-block to a stepping-stone.

I repeat again, we are where we are today because of our lack or lots of understanding of the situations, signs and mysteries of yesterday. Note: just as these three greats of faith, hope and love must be in the company of any Christian in order to please God and in order to make it to heaven at last, so also the three greats of knowledge, wisdom and understanding must accompany man in this present age in order for success to be attained and in order for one’s destiny to be fulfilled with effortless ease.

IN THE END, IF UNDERSTANDING IS LACKING,SOLUTION BECOMES A MIRAGE, AND EVEN PRAYERS CANNOT BE SO EASILY ANSWERED. THEREFORE, WITH ALL OUR SINEWS AND STRENGTH, LET US GET UNDERSTANDING.

DIVINE MERCY IS INBUED WITH EXEMPTION CLAUSES

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES
THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 12 – Sunday, 29th March, 2020
(1 Kings.1:26-43, Heb.12:16-17, Jude 1:22, Deut.7:2)
DIVINE MERCY IS INBUED WITH EXEMPTION CLAUSES

The unequivocal content of the book of Deuteronomy chapter 7 verse 2 states: ‘and when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them’.
Because the Lord our God is a God of extreme kind mercy, I am of the strong view that no one reading the concluding part of the foregoing verse will simply gloss over it without such a person’s attention being sustained for a moment.
Can it ever be true that God will instruct people to cease from showing mercy to a specific group of people? The truth is that there are exemption clauses maintained as condition for most things.
In this connection, divine mercy too is inbued with such exemption clauses. Exemption clauses are statements of condition which deviate from the general rule. It is a statement of general fact that the mercy of God is universal, not limited to any race or creed. But in certain circumstances, the One who has the prerogative of mercy can maintain a defining stand on the issue of mercy.
The troubling fact is, should God outlaw mercy from being beneficial to a person or persons and should any of God’s children or people offer mercy to such person or persons, the consequences for such action is always so dire. This is why the Lord expects that in showing mercy to any person especially persons outside the household of faith (Gal.6:10), we must be Spirit-led and deeply discerning (Jd.1:22).
Not everyone deserves the mercy of God. God has defined in certain circumstances certain people who will never have access to His mercy. Persons who kill or subject Israelees to slavery, harsh treatments, etc, are under divine curse. Should any one extend mercy to such killers or support charity organisations which show mercy to such killers, such a person assisting or donating to such charity organisations will be punished by God. For it is written: ‘I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you’ (Gen.12:31).
If you give your money to persons who are involved in halting the spread of the gospel of Christ; if you offer your money to persons who kill Christians or who are given to killing people generally, by the dint of your giving or offering of money or assistance, you have brought yourself under divine judgment. It is the good counsel of the Lord to show mercy to the poor, the needy, the handicapped, but even then please be prayerful and discerning in so doing. Have you ever asked yourself why your finances are bombarded by challenges? Have you ever asked yourself why your prayers for financial change does not seem to travel beyond the roof of your house?
Check the things you use your money for and the people you give your money to. Because if you are careful and spiritually discerning, you may discover that your money sometimes is being used for rituals against you or against other people.

IN THE END, REMEMBER THIS: THAT ‘MONEY REPRODUCES MONEY’, THAT GIVING MUST HAVE LIMITS BECAUSE TAKERS NEVER HAVE LIMITS AND ARE SOMETIMES NOT DESERVING OF THE OFFERED GIFT. THAT THE MORE YOU GIVE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN THE MORE YOU WILL RECEIVE. RATHER, THE MORE YOU GIVE RIGHTLY AND ACCORDING TO GUIDED DIVINE PRINCIPLES, THE FAR MORE YOU WILL GET. PLEASE KEEP GIVING BUT BE DISCERNING, MAKING A DISTINCTION ALWAYS.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS

Vol. 5, No. 11 – Sunday, 22nd March, 2020

Revelations 12:11, Hebrews 13:20-21, Isaiah 53:5

At no time in the history of the world has things been this bad health-wise. It took the world by the storm, ordinary persons, presidents, kids, day-old babies, men, women of all races are attacked by what is known as corona virus disease 2019 i.e covid-19. The corona virus is at large, the world is overwhelmed and draconian measures are put in place if peradventure we could have respite. Things are getting tougher and tougher and may certainly get worse before it gets better.
For those who have their trust in Christ they have a solution in the blood of Jesus, the song writer says: “Just obey, just obey its the way God’s way…”
The night Israel was to be delivered, the instruction was put the blood on the lintel of your house, once you obeyed then he said in Exo. 12:13 “When I see the blood I will pass over you”. Not when I see you as an Israelite or as a Jew or as a Christian but when I see the blood.
If you have a feeling that you are being rejected by Christ there is nothing you can do but to tarry on and long at His feet. There is no other healer, no other way of escape, no any other one to run to but stay with Jesus Christ and plead your course. He shall have mercy on you, deliver you and heal you.
2Chronicles 7:14 says “if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. There is nothing like prayer anybody may believe it or not. On the 15th day of March 2020, president Donald Trump of America declared that Sunday a day of National prayer. America prayed and God heard them and showed them that common chloroquine is the answer (cure) to the pandemic covid-19.

If they had prayed earlier than the 15th day of March maybe very many thousand in the world wouldn’t have died. The doctors said they only care but God cures.
Jesus is the great shepherd of the sheep by the everlasting covenant signed by His blood.
The blood of Jesus is the most powerful weapon that God has given to us as believers. When a BELIEVER pleads the blood of Jesus he is automatically protected from attacks of Satan and his agents. The blood of Jesus reminds Satan and demons of their defeat on the cross of Calvary.
The shedding of Christ’s blood on the cross and subsequent resurrection brought us back to God and also sealed the eternal doom of Satan and the fallen angels.
Taking Jesus to the cross remains one of the things Devil will eternally regret. 1Corithians 2:7-8 Christ’s death is the wisdom of God. If the Devil had known, he wouldn’t have killed the Lord of Glory.
The shedding of the Blood of Jesus unknowingly to the Devil was the only thing needed to seal the everlasting covenant between God and us(Hebrew:13vs 20).
Once you invoke the covenant, the Devil is disorganised, disarmed, disgraced and devastated. He made a show of them openly. Col.:2 vs 15 This is what you are doing by pleading the Blood of Jesus.
With the Blood of Jesus:
1. You are neutralizing the powers and activities of Satan, in whatever form it comes like a flood, a virus, or whichever way, a standard is lifted up against them( Isiah 59 vs 19)
2. You render him impotent, powerless and also bring shame upon him. He get jittery at the sight or hearing the Blood of Jesus.

The Blood of Jesus cannot lose its power, potency or efficacy and has no life span. The Blood of man has a life span of 120 days, the Blood of Jesus is everlasting and not perishable.

In real terms, only The Blood of Jesus has lasting values. When Heaven and Earth vanish, the redeeming power of the Blood of Jesus will continue forever. The Blood of Jesus cleanses the sinner and heals the sick. The greatest sin is to say we have no sin (1John 1 vs 8). We are at our best like a filthy rag before him.
The Blood of Jesus didn’t just cover up our sins it removes them. Its a weapon that can never lose it power.
We overcome Satan and sickness and even the Corona Virus by the Blood of Jesus. The Blood of Jesus is our lifetime weapon.
Today 75% of believers live in the 3rd world and predominantly non Christian communities and the situation is getting worse by day. At no other time do we need Blood of Jesus than now.
The whole world becomes an ant in the hand of corona virus, we need the blood of Jesus to cure and heal us and He will do it. “ with His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53 vs5)
In the end “ I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy so prospereth”

THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 10 – Sunday, 15th March, 2020
(James 5:7-18)
THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER

‘Elijah was a man of like passion as we are; and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months’. The same man ‘prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit’ (James 5:17-18).
There is but a single word central to the theme and the many words contained in the foregoing two verses. It is the word ‘earnestly’. The adverb or the word earnestly imports the same connotation as the word tenacity.
Many times, men of our contemporary times have passionately raised the inquisition: why can’t we do the things which the men of God of old did?Tenacity at duty is always the defining moment which defies no for an answer. Tenacity is the greatest antimony of indolence. Tenacity never gives up nor takes the backseat of despair, self-pity or anger. Tenacity is blind and deaf to all things except the sight of the finish-line and the clarion call from the finish-line.
The unchallengeable truth is this: in all things and in every situation, God remains constant and so is His power. So then, the trouble is always with man who is seeking the move of His divine power.
The hand of God is always shaken through heated prayer from a spiritually treated heart. So, if I can profer any answer to the above inquisition on why many Christians cannot do the exploits performed by the men of old, it is the simple answer that God has not changed but the men of contemporary days have changed or deviated from the understanding that the men of old had about the never changing God.
Get this straight and unmistaken: if the spring of any water is impure, the pump discharging the water and the water itself will be impure. So is the case of the heart from which any word of prayer flows, the tongue and the lips discharging or dispensing the prayer and the prayer itself.
Without doubt, Elijah was a man of purity from within to the without. Additionally, Elijah was driven by only one passion: it was the passion to see to it that the Almighty God was glorified with and in all his actions. Elijah was never concerned with personal glory or the praise of men after requisite result is gained. (See Jam.4:1-3, 1 Cor.10:31).

When prayer is offered with idols in the heart; when prayers are driven by ulterior intention; When self-seeking is the force of any prayer; the attention of divinity to such prayers is outright deafness and sustained denial.
The efficacy of God-centred prayer cannot be questioned or faulted. Neither can the power of God to do the things He has done prior to our days be in any doubt. In fact and in deed, even in our days, the efficacy of prayer and the power of God to do the impossible and the incredible is constantly being manifested.

If then, our prayers of our own contemporary days are being delayed, we should consider the following:
1. Is the attainment of God’s glory the focal point of that prayer?
2. Is the trajectory of that prayer tailored along the same spiritual frequency and in tandem with the spiritual tangency of the will of God?
3. Is the prayer flowing from a treated heart?
4. Are there certain spiritual skills and lessons God wants the offeror/offerer of that prayer to learn prior to the prayer being answered?
5. Will the offeror/offerer of that prayer remain strong in prayer after the testimony to the prayer has been gained or will that offeror/offerer subsequently retire into a relax mode until another need arises or the next tragedy looms large? Understand that being constantly on the offensive keeps one from the penalty to be suffered from being consistently on the defensive.

It is the will and the command of the Lord and the Holy Scripture that ‘men ought always to pray and not to faint’. Unrelentedness is the soul of any prayer where the interest to record testimonies is the utmost desire. Did not the Lord and the Holy Scriptures teach us the principles of ‘importunity?’ (Lk.11:8).
Understand that prayer is a Spirit and all who will reap the rewards of its efficacy must be possessed by this spirit of prayer (Zech.12:10). Therefore, the greatest prayer which will prove the efficacy of prayer is first and foremost the prayer which examines the treatedness of the heart from which prayer flows.

IN THE END, TWO CRITERIA GIVES PRAYER WEIGHT AND COMMANDS ITS AUTHENTICITY AND RESULT-ORIENTED ABILITY. FIRST IS HOLINESS. SECOND IS SPIRITUAL FIRE.

LEAN ON JESUS

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5 No.8 -Sunday, 1st March, 2020
Proverb 3:5, Matthew 11:28-30
LEAN ON JESUS

In the history of man, no one ever achieve success alone or were self made by relenting on his/her capacity, equally man does not exist on island. As man progresses in the journey of life, he will always need one form of assistance not by his capacity but another, an adage goes thus” “a tree does not make a forest”.
Therefore, to lean on which is phrasal verb means to rest or rely for support or comfort and the like. In the same vain, Prov. 3:5 equivocally informs that Christian should “trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding”
Complementing the above chapter Matthew 11:28 states”…. and learn of me. It means you cannot depend on your understanding in order to fulfil purpose.

In the spiritual parlance who you lean on is your source of living Gen 1:27. Equally, you will always receive inspiration from the person you rest on (Isaiah 50:4); in this vain, He will always fill you with the fullness of life: John 1:16. He gives you divine direction, besides, He will always reveal classified information to you, Ps 25:14, Isaiah 40:1 “comfort ye comfort ye my people, saith your God. He comforts those that lean on Him. Besides, there are numerous benefits enjoyed by whoever leans on Jesus, the lists are inexhaustible.

The blessings attached to leaning on our Lord are uncountable. Then i ask, who are you leaning on? Understand this, the Holy word cannot be broken, precept upon precept and line upon line, there are many who absolutely depend on God even when the situation will almost consume them, these are example for us to learn. For instance Hannah was barren, she looked unto God, even when her adversary provoked her yet she didn’t look unto man but God.1Samuel 1:5-10
The woman with the issue of blood in Matthew 9: 20-22-The woman had issue of blood for twelve years, could you envisage her pangs emotionally, the amount she would have spent before she finally met the SOLUTION – JESUS.
In Mark 1: 40-42, a man with leprosy was cleansed because he relied on Jesus for healing.
They all leaned on God for their desired miracle, not on man. Hear the instruction of
prophet Isaiah, he emphatically said “cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of” Isaiah 2:22. Rest on God all the time and victory shall be yours in the mighty name of Jesus.

IN THE END, GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THE FATHER OF THOSE WHO GENUINELY LEAN ON HIM IN THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.

Question and Answer Section

Question: Who did Jesus lean on during His ministry? 

Answer: God the Father. John 5:17

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GIVING

THE MESSAGE NOW
VOL 4 NO. 11- 25TH MARCH,2019

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GIVING
GEN 14:18-20; PROV 3:9-10

Giving tithe and offering predates the New Testament era; it’s not an innovation in the New Testament church. It has been practiced by the Faithfuls as far back as the period when Abraham rescued his cousin Lot and the goods the enemy took from Sodom. On his way back from the war Melchizedek met him, blessed him, gave him bread and wine and Abraham gave him tithe of all (Gen 14:20). This was the first account of tithing.
Jacob one of the patriarchs, also vowed and paid tithe unto God (Gen 28:20-22). During the dispensation of the law, all Israelites were commanded to bring their tithe ‘‘into a place where the Lord your God shall choose’’ i.e His house (Deut. 14:22,23).
Tithing is part of true worship. There are lots of blessing in giving tithes and offering unto the Lord. One of the secrets of spiritual and material blessings is faithfulness in giving of our tithe and offerings.
I know a man of God who gives his tithes and a minimum of 10% of the tithe as his offering. I think this is a rewarding spiritual mathematics.
There is a question of where do you pay your tithe. The tithe should be paid where you receive your spiritual food & blessings. You can’t eat in canteen A and pay in canteen B. It is important for believers today to know where to pay their tithe. Tithes must be brought to the store house of God where the Gospel is being preached in truth and where the propagation of the gospel is the primary objective and pursuit.
The most important condition is that you must first surrender your heart to God before God can be pleased with your tithe and offerings. You must be born again and become a child of God. While tithe and offering are made mandatory other giving are also rewarding as God bless such givers meaning they are also much approved of God. It is part of our service to God and humanity.
⦁ When we give our tithe, the store house of God will be full (Malachi 3:10)
⦁ When we give our tithe, windows of heaven’s blessings will be opened to us- (Malachi 3:10)
⦁ When we give our tithe, immeasurable blessings will be poured upon us (Malachi 3:10)
⦁ When we give our tithe, the devourer shall be rebuked- (Malachi 3:11) i.e we shall not spend money on things that merely deplete our resources wastefully
⦁ When we give our tithe, the fruit of our ground shall not be destroyed i.e we shall have good harvest.
⦁ When we give our tithe, our plants shall not cast their fruits before their time i.e there shall not be any kind of abortion (Malachi 3:11)
⦁ When we give our offering our barns shall be filled with plenty i.e good yield (Prov 3:9-10)
⦁ Our reward shall be a great proportion of our offering that is profitability (2cor 9:6, Luke 6:38)
Pastor Adeboye once gave the testimony of a brother that borrowed money to singlehandedly sponsor the feeding at their annual convention. The man eventually became the chairman of the bank where the money was borrowed. The Lord looks at the heart of the giver.
Giving our resources to God brings spiritual & physical blessings to us as enumerated.
⦁ When Peter gave his empty fishing boat to Jesus, he got two full trawlers of fish back (Luke 51:7)
⦁ The shunamite woman gave her chamber & food to Elisha her barrenness was turned to fruitfulness (2king 4:8,10,13,14-16)
In the end, it is our giving willingly, cheerfully and whole heartedly either by command, intuition or impulse that will always attracts God’s reward.
Question and Answer:
Q: How was the earth watered initially before the rain?
A: Mist went up from the earth (Gen 2:5-6 )
