Psalm 24:1
Declaration:
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Therefore, since the Lord, the possessor of heaven and earth created all the world, I take charge over this whole environment of my abode now. I demand that every spirit contrary to God go into captivity now. I cease and imprison every power been operated by any evil neighbour now. You glory users; feeding on the glory of God like men feed on loaves of bread, by the One who created heaven and earth, and the authority with which He did so, I paralyse you all now, and I render you impotent. Powers in and around this vicinity that are opposed to the propagation and establishment of the gospel of Christ, the entrenchment of peace and the flourishing of prosperity, because the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein, I sack you all now. O Spirit of the Gospel of God, O dear blessed Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, brood, move and take over all my surroundings, these whole environment and vicinity now. Let every foul spirit and presence disappear now. O blood of the everlasting covenant, the blood of Jesus, spread over and take over me, my world, my home, my family, my entire environment from this day, from this hour and from this week. In Jesus name, Amen.

The walls of Jerusalem, because of the intervention of the Almighty, were finished before time. Therefore, you covenant of no and slow progress, I terminate your existence. give you every slow moving destiny issue this set time to hit the realm of reality in my life.

Monday: 17th July, 2023

Psalm 29:11

Declaration:

“And the Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” Therefore, it is written: “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” I give you your due praise dear Jehovah for in it and through it is my strength. Your name, your house, your splendour and your majesty are all worthy. You saved my soul, you redeemed me from lack, losses and every disaster; my praise to you, you deserve. The wonders of your hands towards me are without count or number. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Hallowed be your name. O praiseworthy Jehovah, I draw my strength this day, this hour and this week from your kindness. Therefore, from henceforth, my prayer life, receive fresh dew from heaven.

Proverbs 5:21-23
Declaration:
“21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”
Therefore, “O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end.” You spirit and strength of sin, I break your cords and hold from my soul. You enemy called sin, you are the strongest tool in the hand of Satan used to cause all forms of hindrances, obstacles, delay and all wicked experiences. By the strength of righteous and the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary, I defeat you wholly and eternally. O Thou enemy, you actions of the night and day against me are sure sins against God and before the heavenly Father. So, as God, in 1 Kings 22:19-22, allowed a lying spirit to deceive Ahab onto his destruction, so may my heavenly Father cause your destruction to come swiftly upon you without you knowing but by you believing in your falsehood.
Circles of limitation around me caused by sin or by the wickedness of men and Satan, O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end, by reason of this unfailing word, I break free from you now. I shall never return to Lo Debar.
I decree this day, this hour and this week, that the presence of Jehovah visits me afresh. I decree this day, this hour and this week that my spirit man is renewed anew and reinvigorated with the strength of the Most High.
My garment is changed and brightened to blinding righteousness. I move forward this day, this hour and this week in my new heavenly cloak attracting me to God my Father and to everything of greatness and glory. In Jesus name, Amen.

Jeremiah 31:16
Declaration:
“Thus saith the Lord; refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.” Therefore, this day, this hour and this week henceforth, have I now decreed that my dark moments are finally over. There is an expiry moment to every problem; is it not written that “to everything there is a time and a season under heaven?” Is it not equally written that “weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning?” By the aligning of the written and the spoken word of Jehovah, I terminate every season of weeping in my life. Exceeding joy is my portion. Over —— situations and circumstances in my life, concerning my children, my business, endeavours of all kinds, it is now the turn of celebration. I address you mountains and reproaches of —– in my life, be lifted and gone forever. It is written: “And the Lord said unto Joshua, this day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off thee.” This is my portion from henceforth. In Jesus name, Amen.

VIGIL: June – July 2023;
Time: 11:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M.;
DATE: Friday 30th June to Saturday 1st July 2023;

MONTHLY COVENANT THEME: REIGNING IN THE MERCY OF GOD;
Monthly Scripture: PSALMS 56:1 AND 57:1;

FAITH DECLARATION: re-echo these Scriptures (Psalms 56 and 57) in the ears of the Almighty for divine preservation for yourself and your loved ones:

CONFESSION: Confess the following decrees and declarations with resounding faith that cannot be resisted nor denied:

I am born of God through faith – the faith which was, in time and before time, the outworkings of divine mercy. For was it not the mercy of God which made a redemptive plan through the Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ for mankind after that man lost it all in the garden of Eden? By mercy through faith, a savior, in the form of a human judge, was born onto the nation of Israel. By the sin of disobedience that faith was lost through lust after worldly affair with Delilah when destiny hunters from hell shaved off the seven locks of his hair. Nevertheless, mercy rebirth faith in him and his strength returned. For is it not written that, “albeit, the hairs of his head began to grow again.” Thus the destiny damage done by glory-barbers from hell sponsored by Delilah touched down in the valley shame and utter-failure. I pronounce therefore, that you spiritual saloons and oppressive barbers after my hair which represents my glory; the mercy of God has found you out. In that token of God’s mercy and power, I pronounce your destruction and the immediate restoration of my glory in every way. In the name of Jesus. I remember Lot – the nephew of Abraham. Although a onetime greedy fellow, yet did not the mercy of God sort him out? Oh! So true! It is written; “where sin did abound, grace (by implication mercy) did much more abound.” O arrow of divine mercy and perfect deliverance, hit my life and destiny tonight, catapaulting me into the position of greatness prepared for me. It is written: “But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions…… And Saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” Thus destiny helpers as “saviours” from the Lord, that my destiny may fully take its position in the Lord and as the Lord’s, your assignment over my destiny takes effect and force afresh as from tonight. I have known God until now in a dimension; another dimension of His knowing, by His mercy and power, begins in my life from now. O Thou Spirit of divine mercy, take over the entire atmosphere around my life and destiny from now. In the name of Jesus. By mercy and for the reason of mercy did the Son of God die on the agonizing cross; that mercy is not lost or wasted. I move into that ocean of mercy now. God of mercy, lift me up; God of mercy, soar me higher; God of mercy, redeem my glory and star from spiritual barbers, night raiders, night caterers, feeders with known and unknown items in dreams and in the sleep; God of mercy, visit my foundation with power and sure deliverance; God of mercy, rekindle fresh fire and uncommon revival in me; O God of mercy, fill me with unusual passion for holy living; O God of mercy, let my new beginning start now, by your uncommon divine mercy. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

HOUR OF HEAVENLY SHOWER: pick up these Scriptures (Psalms 99, 100, 101, and, speak gladdening and celebratory words to Jehovah with a heart opened up to the Most High for an utterance of the Spirit of the Lord.

HYMN: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

PRAY NOW:
1. By divine mercy tonight, let my stolen glory be recovered and restored to me.
2. O mercy of God, visit me tonight and reposition and redirect me to the right path and the right vision to follow.
3. O God of mercy, in your divine mercy, do marvelous things for me that the world will hear and celebrate you greatly.
4. God of mercy, recover all my lost times and efforts and the blessings that I lost through sin and through anger.
5. Present your personal petitions

DIVINE HEALING IS AN ENFORCIBLE RIGHT NOT A MERE PRIVILEGE

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES
THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 29 – Sunday, 26th July, 2020
(PS.107:20)
DIVINE HEALING IS AN ENFORCIBLE RIGHT NOT A MERE PRIVILEGE

Within the sphere of the legal parlance, the latitude of difference between an enforcible right and a privilege is as expansive as the widest ocean. The performance of an action whose duty is guaranteed by law or by nature as commanded to be delivered for the enjoyment of another is an enforcible right. Put simply, anyone upon whom the duty of the performance of any action is to be duly exercised is the one entitled to that exercisable right.
In a deeper sense, a right is an immunity from or an immunity against certain actions that must not be breached. On the contrary, a right differs exponentially from a privilege. A privilege is not exercisable nor can it ever be enforcible. A privilege is merely a permission to enjoy certain benefits because of qualifying status. Though privileges are preferential advantages, they are often not enforcible.
The thematic sense derivable from the exercise and enjoyment of enforcible rights is that there is always in effect and in essence a legal conundrum ensuring force to such rights. Narrowed down to the context of spiritual parlance, a right is an enforcible authority to enjoy certain benefits and immunities which cannot be questioned. They cannot be questioned because prior to their conferment upon those who must enjoy them an initial price was paid.
It is both impossible and improbable to forget the sound spiritual fact that the blood of Jesus was shed as eternal guarantee for the soul of man and for everything incidental thereto. Incidental thereto in this context is a reference to everything that concerns that soul.
In Revelation chapter 12, when the devil was cast down to the earth, he made himself the god of this earth, informing heaven to remain within its aerial realm whilst he reigns as the supreme one here on earth. But the table turned when the same earth received the blood of the Son of God as it was shed on Calvary’s tree. From that moment, the earth and its king lost the legal right to exercise authority over man who is the greatest of God’s creation.
No wonder, the Scripture informs us that ‘with His stripes we were healed’. ‘Were healed’ not just being healed, but we have been healed right from the foundation of the world. The question is why? The simple answer is because ‘the Lamb of God was slain right from the foundation of the world’.
Divine healing is part of the works of the Almighty. And the unfailing word of God states that ‘concerning the works of my hands, command ye me’. If divine healing is part of the works of God, then it is to be commanded in faith as a free gift of God purchased by the blood of the Lamb.
It is an affront against God and His supreme unfailing word to request for divine healing with a double mind by thinking ‘will it be granted or will it not be granted’. It was granted far before you asked. By the way, is there any reason why we should doubt?
Asking through prayer follows a two-prong tasks. First is the simple task of asking in faith through prayer. Second is the application of Amen which can only come by God and from God. I am saying that there is no big difficulty in opening one’s mouth to express words of prayer after all you are not the one who is to answer the prayer.
The headache of granting request is not yours but God’s. So, let us stop swallowing migraine pills for God’s own headache. Divine healing is bread meant for the children of God. Learn this lesson from the Almighty God that the next time you are asking for healing or deliverance for yourself or anyone else. Don’t bother applying too much grammar. Just ask for the life and vitality of God to enter into that area of life needing healing or deliverance.
Therefore, I command in faith that anyone and everyone reading this piece today, receive divine healing for your souls, bodies and spirits now, in Jesus name. It is written, ‘He sent His word and it healed them and delivered them from all their destructions’ therefore I command, let the healing vessel flowing from the riven side of Christ fall and flow into every destiny reading this piece now, in Jesus name.
Fallen and crawling destinys, be revived now, in Jesus name. Dead finances, I decree you back to life now, in Jesus name. Curses, evil covenants, cancer, outgrowths, cysts, fibroids, basket brains in children, inability to conceive, poverty, mental challenges, non-achievements, stagnations and badluck, what makes people to be repulsive to love and lovers, I curse you all now, in Jesus name. Come out and enter no more, in Jesus name, Amen.
From henceforth, let there be freedom and liberty, financial wellness and joy, sound health and purity of heart in all members of Express Image Glory Ministry, in Jesus name, Amen.

Question and Answer Section
Question: The great questions again! When was the last time that you preached to any soul? Do you serve God with joyful heart or with reluctance? How much hurt is in your soul against that fellow? Won’t rather forgive them and forget their mischief so that you can rightly serve your loving Father? When was the last time you smiled genuinely and truly from your heart about yourself bearing in mind the bright days to come? when was the last time you heard a force praying within your belly without your consciousness? When was the last time you gave some thing to support God’s work apart from your tithes and offerings? When was the last time you supported any man to fulfill a divine or a personal agenda? When was the last time you put smile on the face of someone?
Answer: Hmmm!.

MONEY

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES
THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 28 – Sunday, 19th July, 2020
(1 Tim.6:6-10)
MONEY

Man will not change the true essence and the innate character of money no matter the effort. But from time immemorial, money has changed man and will continue to do so whether for the good or for the bad. The turn of the compass for the good or for the bad is always and will remain always the choice of man.
Sweet adverts sometimes in the form of ‘buy one, get two free’ or such invitations and investment messages that speak like inducements urging us to get started without investigating are nothing more than opiums that spur the masses into rush decisions. On the surface, these adverts appear too good to be true. And shouldn’t that feeling make us think twice before acting?
But thinking through the imaginary lines of those adverts, one would thoughtfully see that the language and the conveying mood of those adverts manipulate our minds rather to think in the opposite direction. In our minds, such adverts then become ‘too good to be untrue. And so the mire of wasteful spending adds to its numerous list another riotous spender.
The truth is that nothing is actually free without some cost no matter how less or least. Whatever adverts, jingle or the likes which is pushing the spending head to go ahead of the accounting heart, the truth is that such jingle is one of those crazy money demons that drive us into wrong financial choices. The further truth is that the cure to falling prey is no where else but in us. For attitude change is a personal assignment.
The great international evangelist, Billy Graham quipped, ‘if a person get his attitude towards money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life’. Ah! Papa Billy! That is an excellent legacy you left behind for my generation.
So, Papa, you are saying in effect and in essence that discipline towards money is a defining factor for obtaining commendation from men for enviable integrity and for attaining dignity before God! In addition, Papa, you are equally saying that if there is perfect attitude change towards money in a man, such a man will hardly stumble.
Hmmm! There is almost no better true talk than this. So, Papa, if the purpose for starting any outfit, be it church, company or other ventures is money, and not first and foremost worthy service to God and to humanity, such a pastor or business man is already a failure before startpoint. Papa Billy, I will equally be right to say that there are three categories of people as far as pastoral profession is concerned.
First, those that are genuinely called by God. Second, those that God did not call but who called themselves. Third, those who have lost their calling. But Papa, if a man was not called by God but if out of passion for divine service such a man makes himself a pastor, if he is faithful in all of his house and his attitude towards money is sparkling white and clean, what then would happen? I hear you say God can recommend such a man for greatness.
Hmmm! As an aside, Papa. Do you remember that I once met you in a revelation in year 2010? You told me that you were going ahead to speak to the lady I was proposing to marry. You returned in that revelation that same night. in that continuing revelation, you informed me as feed back that the lady has rejected the will of God and that she will pay the painful price.
Ten years on, Papa, I don’t think that she is yet to marry. Back to the money issue, Papa. The Holy Scripture states that ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’(1Timothy 6:10). The lips of the Lord informs us that ‘you cannot serve God and mammon’(Luke 16:24). Equally from the lips of the Lord, the Holy Scriptures commands us to ‘make friendship with the mammons of this world’(Luke 16:19). And yet truly, mammon (money) is a non-negotiable necessity. Where then is the line of demarcation?
More concerning still, the Holy Scripture of truth states that ‘money is a defence’(Eccl. 7:12) and that ‘money answereth all things’(Eccl. 10:19). Papa Billy, I am confused with all these. What shall I do?
‘Son, do you remember that the same Holy Scriptures notes that ‘wisdom is greater than strength?’’(Eccl. 9:16). Have you forgotten so soon that the Holy Bible equally states that ‘wisdom is profitable to direct?’(Eccl. 10:10) You surely haven’t forgotten Prov.4:7 wherein it is written that ‘wisdom is the principal thing’….
I must feed you with information that you must keep so secure about money otherwise you will fall. To start with, understand that the greatest and the most respected god on earth after the Blessed Holy Spirit is money.
It can buy satan and all things except the Most High. Never be controlled by it otherwise you are doomed. The strength and the avowed determination of the strongest living man cannot stand before it. The most fervent prayer against it will fizzle away before it.
Why have great men and women fallen? Why did that family break apart? Why did those two friends who were so knitted together in love and in affection get into the boxing-ring with each other? I can provide you no other answer but only to tell you that it is all because of money. Why did the man sell his body to that woman old enough to be his mother? Money.
Why did that brother in-law request his wife’s younger sister to contribute money in a matter that by culture and by all sense of dignity he ought to shoulder? Oh! It is simply because he has got great respect for money, but not for relationship nor for culture. Yes, son, life and service is not all about money.
But son, let a man’s anointing be as tall as the sky, if he has no money, he is not going far. When Iwas on earth, I saw darkly but now I am now in my glorified body as my Master, Christ promised. And I see things more clearly. I see those who have lost their calling, not because of fornication but because of money.
I see sections of living churches divided because of money. I see that church positions are now occupied not because the spiritual prerequisites are met but because money is in the equation. I see that money has removed the power of prayer and holiness from the lives of many. I see that the spiritual visions of most pastors have become blurred because the greater attention is now towads money.
I see those that are standing right among the pastors but discouragements for lack of money have blinded them and turned them out of the way. Power is the puller of prosperity. I see that power is resident in the body of Christ but lying dormant because prosperity is being pursued rather than the prerequisites of purity and power. I see church leaders demanding for money before they can render their spiritual assignments. But these leaders have read the word of the Lord that ‘freely ye have received, freely give’.
What more shall I tell you son? If you defeat the demon of money on two planes, then you have defeated satan and self by 99%.
First, you must pray to the extent that you have money in your possession as a servant duly under your control. Second, you must pray so hard until you conquer money by prayer, by discipline and by the ultimate weapon of wisdom. Generations are changing as God illuminates the heart with deeper understanding.
Therefore, the generation of ‘silver and gold have I none’(Acts 3:6) has passed. It is now the dispensation of realizing and actualizing the sound spiritual fact that the Lord died not only for the reconciliation of humanity back to God, but also to give humanity his riches and take humanity’s poverty away. Do not forget this son! You are in the generation of swift soul-winning because the end of the age is not just near, it is now here. Men will rubbish your anointing if you are ever poor.
You are now in the dispensation of ‘silver and gold are mine (Haggai 2:8)…. And I will shake the heavens and the earth(Haggai 2:6). It is that Christian who is rich in purity, exuberating in the power of God and living in the ocean and over the control of wealth that can be respected and it is that Christian who can do exploits for God. If you have two and half out of the three, you are still a basic failure son!
Son, you shouldn’t be a fool. As a servant of our Father and our God, if you depend on church members before God’s work can be done, then son, there is no greater fool than you on the face of the earth. Tell your fellow brethren that I got my mansion in heaven most beautiful; his grace for service, for giving to His course and for righteous living through the blood of our Saviour and Lord earned me this eternall bliss and inherited peace.
Pray not the prayers of prosperity for the soul which is yet to have encounter with Christ. For prosperity without purity will destroy that unregenerated soul faster than the agenda of our God. The night is far spent son, I must go now and should you not have some rest now son?

BUT IN THE END, REMEMBER SON THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS BUT A RESPECTER OF HIS DIVINE PRINCIPLES. DO NOT LOVE MONEY BUT LOVE THE ONE WHO GIVES MONEY, AND MONEY WILL RESPECT YOU AND DWELL WITH YOU. AMEN AND SHALOM’.

GOD: THE PERFECT SCRIPT PLAYER

EXPRESS IMAGE GLORY MINISTRIES
THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 27 – Sunday, 12th July, 2020
(Acts.16:9-34, Gen.37:9-28, 41:37-46, Zech.9:11-12)
GOD: THE PERFECT SCRIPT PLAYER

For the normal human comprehension, one of the most baffling statements of the Bible is that which is contained in Romans chapter 8:28. The content of the statement reads: ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose’.
Humanity’s genuine love for the Godhead emanating from a heart of righteousness is the foremost criterion for the fulfillment of divine purpose. Put simply, love for God our father puts us and sticks us glued to the path of divine purpose.
Two uncontestable statements of contrasts in the relationship between man and God are: (1) the path of humanity is generally full of encumberrances and pitfalls sometimes born out of his human frailties. And (2) God delights in partnership; in the working of His divine purpose, God is never in the business of being a lone ranger but delights in being the senior partner because He knows far more and sees the end even into the farthest future.
There are not too many reasons for His delightsomeness in human partnership. It is mainly for the purpose of nurturing man until full stature – till that moment when man becomes His full ambassador who can stand and exert authority on His behalf here on earth.
So, to be more precise, in the dictionary of the Godhead and by the attitude of the Almighty, purpose drives action, not otherwise. When purpose is in partnership having been fuelled by genuine love by the two partners for each other, action commences and fruitful success story is always the end-result regardless of the hurdles on the way.
Therefore, it can be concluded that purpose informs the need for tenacity otherwise known as resolve. In the marriage of purpose and tenacity, action is born. And with this trio combine in the partnership equation, everything works for good.
Understand the context, the meaning and the implication of everything works for good! The delays, the persecutions, the pains, the sufferings, the struggles and the sicknesses, the joys and the celebrations, even the deaths are all working for good so long as the condition of sonship is perfected in the partnership equation.
The Apostle Paul was on a divine course for the Almighty when in Acts chapter 16:9 he saw a vision of a man beckoning on him to come over into Macedonia and give them a hand of assistance. No doubt, it was God giving Paul the Apostle a chance to partner with Him in the salvation of the jailer and his household, Lydia (the woman from Thyatira) and indeed the entire city of Philippi.
In the course of fulfilling this calling to Macedonia, Paul and Silas (partners of the Almighty) had to go through the rigour of travelling by probably a turbulent sea experience. The question is: were they not on divine mission? Why didn’t the Almighty just fly them away with ease as He did to Philip the evangelist in Acts.8:39-40 from Gaza to Azotus?
Life and sea turbulence are sometimes part of divine agenda and skilled spiritual training for the bigger picture and the bigger assignment of life to come. Professor H.D. Lardy was my Ph.D supervisor at the University of Aberdeen. She turned me insideout by thorough academic drilling during preparation and the actual writing of my thesis. To me at the time, she was simply being unkind. On hindsight, her drilling was nothing more than a good desire to mould me into a full man – transformed student into an unmatched scholar. I am her success product today, and I am truly and eternally grateful to her.
On arriving in Macedonia, divine purpose drove Saint Paul and Silas to the river side for the purpose of prayer by man’s thoughts but much more for the purpose of Lydia’s salvation by divine arrangement.
It was equally in course of that divine mission that the demon-possessed girl was encountered. In that same process, the partners of the Almighty with Almighty in their company were arrested, beaten, handcuffed and imprisoned. All that were part of the purpose package.
At this time in the prison, by humanity’s way of frailties, the only thing left was to murmur, complain and most probably question why all these horrible events were taking place in their lives. But instead, the saints of God followed the choice of praising their senior partner, the great God of heaven and earth, realizing that ‘all things work together for Good’ when genuine love for God has fuelled the fire of purpose into divine furnace.
Alas! Why didn’t God just issue a command to stop His children and Saint from going through the rigours of the prison? To God, that prison was not for punishment but for protection and for purpose. Wasn’t it in that prison that the man (jailer) who had appeared to Saint Paul at Troas in Acts 16:9 got his conversion, including that of his household?
Dear brother Pastor, have you ever asked yourself the question that the Lord Jesus knowing the man who will betray Him, why then did He not drive that man away from His work force? ‘All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose’. If the Lord had driven Judas away, then divine purpose for His descension to the earth would have failed and humanity would have been doomed forever.
When purpose has succeeded, what follows is the manifestation of the power and the glory of God. So, what happened next? The glory and the presence and power of God showed up in the prison. And what followed immediately afterwards?
The moment the glory, the power and the presence of God descended into the prison, miracles followed – the miracle of salvation and deliverance, the miracle of divine furtherance to the gospel, the miracles of surprise and encouragement, as well as the miracle of fresh lesson to Saint Paul and Saint Silas.
Understand dearly beloved that God is not selfish. When God is on the trajectory of fulfilling His purpose, He takes on board also the fulfillment of His purposes for His partners in progress. God is the lone husband of no rival. How?
Understand that Saints Paul and Silas (being children and servants of God) are equally His brides. God as the bridegroom is a perfect groomer who has all the skills to groom his bride(s) into His honey taste and liking so that a perfect harmony can be attained, thereby paving the way for no difference but sameness.
The result of sameness is that man, the Bride then becomes the bone of the same bone with God, the bridegroom. Dear pastor and dear leader of any sort, what then is the conclusion of this matter?
Pastor! That witch in your church is there for a purpose of God yet to be revealed. Don’t drive her away or drive her crazy. Rather, increase your prayer fire for the purpose God has and will reveal to you. Who knows whether the witch of today may end up fulfilling a major course in your ministry. Remember that the Lord did not drive away Mary Magdalene (the woman who was possessed by seven demons). Alas! Pastor! Go back and study the gospel of Luke again and consider chapter 8:1-3.
O leader, your team member or follower who is always attacking you verbally and/or spiritually may have been allowed into your group for a purpose from God. Understand O leader that no one can walk into your life, group or ministry without God knowing about it. The question is what is the very lesson God wants you to learn from this new phase of your life and career?
The one who is attacking you today is your purpose mentor from God. Though he/she may appear and behave like a devil, only remember that without conquering the next devil, you really cannot get to the next level.
Have you forgotten that a messenger of the devil buffeted Saint Paul continuously and though three earnest times of seeking the face of the Lord, yet the Lord response was ‘my grace is sufficient for you?’ Understand the purpose for that season of your life and receive the response from God with joy.
Those who hate your guts and insult you in the office, in the church or among circle of friends, are doing so to prune you. There may be anger deep inside of you which needs to be exposed so that the purpose of God to destroy that anger and help you to become a master of human psychology may be accomplished. Now you are just a staff who is being mocked and who cannot manage people’s mockery. What will happen when you become an MD?
Why are you yet unmarried? Why the waiting? Why haven’t those miracle babies arrived? Do you think the silence of God on these matters is just mere quietness? No! His quietness means ‘work in progress’. Why is your church still so small in number O pastor despite your anointing and spiritual gifts? Maybe there is that which the Almighty is watching and waiting for. He, God owns you, your anointing and the church altogether. Isn’t it?
IN THE END, HISTORY IS TRITE AND TRUE ON THE REALISTIC FACT THAT THE WORST OF ENEMIES HAVE SOMETIMES ENDED UP THE BEST OF HUSBAND AND WIFE, SINCERE BUSINESS PARTNERS, BEST FRIENDS OR LOVELIEST SPIRITUAL FATHER AND DAUGHTER/SON. JUST ALLOW PURPOSE TRIGGER ACTION WITH GOD IN VIEW. IS IT NOT RATHER BETTER TO MAKE MORE FRIENDS THAN TO MAKE MORE ENEMIES? CONSIDER! WHEN WILL THE WARS STOP AND THE HAPPY PEACE START?!

Question and Answer Section
Question: The great questions again! When was the last time that you preached to any soul? Do you serve God with joyful heart or with reluctance? How much hurt is in your soul against that fellow? Won’t rather forgive them and forget their mischief so that you can rightly serve your loving Father? When was the last time you smiled genuinely and truly from your heart about yourself bearing in mind the bright days to come? when was the last time you heard a force praying within your belly without your consciousness? When was the last time you gave some thing to support God’s work apart from your tithes and offerings? When was the last time you supported any man to fulfill a divine or a personal agenda? When was the last time you put smile on the face of someone?
Answer: Hmmm!.

HEAVENLY HELPER

THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 5, No. 26 – Sunday, 5th July, 2020
(Psalm 121)
HEAVENLY HELPER

How do you feel when it is clear to you that you are the only one who is in the sole position to help another person out of his predicament? Do you not feel pressed to do something at all Godly cost?
I was fortunate by God’s grace and mercy to win the Shell BP scholarship as an undergraduate student whilst studying at the University of Lagos (UniLag). Having received the scholarship for the 1999-2000 session, I determined to purchase something which I craved for very seriously at the time. Then came a church member who needed money for his Masters programme in Mass Communication.
I was caught between purchasing my interest and/or supporting this church member brother. The brother frankly told me that if I would not be able to assist him he would simply drop the programme.
I felt pressed to help him. Thank God that the grace of God helped me to come to his aid. That Masters certificate gave him his first job as a lecturer. He has since then been to Germany, and now he is a Ph.D holder, lecturing in Babcock University.
Listen, beloved, if I, a mere mortal can be compassionate towards another, then think about the Almighty. Will He not speedily aid you out of that predicament? Psalm 121 requires deeper meditation – Reflect on God’s kindness – Reflect on His ability and willingness to help – Reflect on the fact that if you are truly His own, then your shame, pain and afflictions are His too – Reflect on the fact that if then you fail, then He, God has failed.
But you know it even to the depth of your soul that He cannot fail. Therefore, please be encouraged my sister, and be lifted my brother. Your star will shine in the end. Your own time will not fly past you. And though others may be laughing now, you will certainly laugh too and laugh best in the end.

IN THE END, THE BATTLE IS YET RAGING ON BECAUSE GOD IS YET TO ARRIVE IN THE ARENA OF BATTLE. THE FIRE OF DELAY IS STILL SO STRONG BECAUSE THE TIME OF YOUR COOLNESS IS YET A LITTLE AWAY. YOUR SHAME IS BECOMING MORE OBVIOUS BECAUSE YOUR CELEBRATION SHALL NOT BE HIDDEN FROM ALL EYES. LISTEN, IT IS NOT DARKEST AT MIDNIGHT; NO! IT IS DARKEST BETWEEN 5 A.M. TO 5:30 A.M.IT MEANS THAT THE DARKEST TIME IS JUST BEFORE 6A.M. SO THEN, YOU HAVE ALREADY BROKEN THROUGH SINCE AFTER MIDNIGHT, AND VERY SOON YOU WILL BREAKOUT INTO GREATNESS AND FROM THEN ON YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BREAK-FORTH.
