THE LIFE OF FAITH
In the midst of an ever-changing world, the good news is that the life
of faith is anchored by the faithfulness, power, provisions and promises
of God. Circumstances may change but the future is sure. No matter what
happens, those who trust in God hope in His word.
LOVE
God loves you not because of what you do. He is interested in all area
of your life. He don’t care about what you did wrong because Jesus
Christ has paid the price for your wrong doing.

THE POWER OF PROPHESY AND TONGUE
The bible says in Proverbs 18 : 21 that '' Death and life are in the
power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit''.
The tongue is one of the smallest part of the body that can be classified as the most dangerous weapon we have. I believe we have to be very careful on how we use it at anytime.
In Genesis 25 : 29 - 34 the bible says '' Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field and he was weary. And Esau said to Jacob, 'please feed me with that same red stew, for i am weary'. Therefore his name was called Edom. But Jacob said ``sell me your birthright as of this day´´. And Esau said, look i am about to die so what is this birthright to me? Then Jacob said swear to me as of this day. So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils, then he ate and drank, arose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright''.
According to the above scripture, two things are involve: First is the existence of spirit of diversion in the family. In Genesis 21 : 9 - 13 the bible says that Ishmael the son of Hagar was the first son of Abraham and was sent out of Abraham's house and Isaac was now recognised as Abraham's first son. And in Genesis 25 : 21 - 23 it says that Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren and the Lord granted his plea and Rebekah his wife conceived of twins and because the children struggled together within her, she went to inquire of the Lord what was happening and the Lord said 'Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the elder shall serve the younger'. But Rebekah and Isaac did not plead to God about it. God is merciful to change any situation and it is unfair for the elder to serve the younger. God is so merciful to change any situation no matter how difficult it seems to be. In Isaiah 1 : 18 God said that we should come and let us reason together. Moreso, we saw also in the life of Jabez in 1 Chronicle 4 : 9 - 10 he prayed to God to enlarge his territory because his mother gave him Jabez meaning she bore him in pain and the merciful God visited his situation and turn it around. Also, in 1 john 3 :22 says that whatever we ask, we receive when we keep His commandment.

PAST LIFE
Paul said in Philippians 3 : 13 – 14 ”Brethren, i do not count myself
to have apprehended; but one thing i do, forgetting those things which
are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press
toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus”.
In verse 15 he said ” therefore let us as many as mature have this mind and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to us.”
We should forget our past so that the weight of the past cannot continue to weigh us down and to enable us focus on what God has for us in future.

FAVOUR
God will not stop talking to you until you stop listening to
Him.
Don’t allow yourself to be paralize by failure, fear and disappointment. Always forgive yourself and ask God to give you the strength, courage and wisdom to move forward. You are not what people say you are but rather you are whom God say you are. Therefore your value will not reduce no matter what mistakes you have made or what people say about you. God’s favour is upon our life.

PROTECTION
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who in
all circumstances said my king, do not be discouraged, because
everything God does is perfect, no mistakes. One day, they went hunting
and along the way wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to
kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman
said ”Is God good? If He was good, i would not have been attacked and
lost my finger”. The slave replied ” my king, despite all these things, i
can only tell you that God is good, and He knows why all these things
happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong. Outraged by the
response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.
Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices. In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. According to them, it was not so complete to be offered to the gods.
Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave that he now received him affectionately. My dear, God was really good to me. I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, i was let go. But i have a question; if God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in jail? My king, if i had gone with you in this hunt, i would have been sacrificed for you, because i have no missing finger, therefore, remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong.
Often we complain about life and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don’t be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions and ease your feelings. Do not be afraid. God is never wrong my brethen.
Let us go close to God because when you stay and work with somebody with time, you will begin to do things like him. The scripture says ”we should be perfect as He is perfect”. Perfection will come from Him by going close to Him. God can use any means to protect us from any danger. The bible says in psalm 91 : 12 that ” for He shall give His angels charge over you. To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone”. His angels are guiding us both day and night so that we cannot miss the way.

GOD'S PROMISE OF PROTECTION
Nevertheless the Lord your God would not listen to balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you - Deuteronomy 23 : 5
Whatever has been an adversary, dissappointments, bondage, curse in your life, the Lord will not listen to this curses but rather He will turn it to blessing. Our God is not a selfish God. He is a God of victory, success, love, protection, abundance. Anybody that might have curse you no matter the closeness of the person to you, no matter the level of the person in the society God will not listen to such curse if we do not open the door for such curse to come into our life. How can we open the door for curse to enter into our life is through disobedience. For us to lock those doors against those curses so that it cannot enter into our life, so that it cannot manifest in our life, we have to walk in holiness, purity, santity and be ready to obey the commandments of God and He will fight that battle which seems too difficult for you.
In the book of Exodus 23 : 22 it says, ''but if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and adversary to your adversaries''. In the new testament, Jesus Christ also confirm this in Luke 21 : 15 it says, '' for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist''. The scripture says all your adversaries not some of your adversaries. Therefore brethren, I implore you to obey His cammand and flee from worldly affections so that you can see His goodness in your life.

And now look, I free you this day from the chains that were on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come and I will look after you.

PROFANACIÓN
La escritura dice que no es lo que entra en la boca contaminar al hombre, sino lo que sale de la boca. No debemos permitir que lo que oye o ve a contaminar nuestra mente.
EL PODER EN EL AMOR DE DAR
Dios quiere que nosotros compartamos lo que tenemos, porque Él comparte su amor con nosotros al darnos a su Hijo Jesucristo. No se puede amar sin dar y se puede dar sin amar.
LA BONDAD DE DIOS
Dios tiene en sà mismo toda misericordia para perdonar, toda la gracia que te enriquecen, toda la sabidurÃa para dirigir, todo el poder para que lo defienda, toda la justicia para vestirte, para suministrar toda la bondad y la felicidad que todos a la corona que no importa qué tan grandes pecados usted puede ser que han cometido errores, y usted puede ser que han hecho.
'' El Señor es compasivo y clemente, tardo para la ira y grande en misericordia. No para siempre con nosotros, ni para siempre guardará el enojo. No ha hecho con nosotros conforme a nuestros pecados, ni nos castigó conforme a nuestras iniquidades. Porque como los cielos sobre la tierra, tan grande es su misericordia sobre los que le temen. Como dista el oriente del occidente, asà hizo alejar de nosotros nuestras rebeliones. Como un padre se compadece de sus hijos, por lo que el Señor se apiada de los que le temen''. Salmo 103: 8 - 13. De acuerdo con la escritura anterior, él no tiene y no hará con nosotros conforme a nuestras obras, debido a su bondad y amor a través del cual envió a Su único Hijo Jesucristo a pagar el precio. En el versÃculo 17 de este mismo capÃtulo, se dice'', pero la misericordia de Jehová es desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad sobre los que le temen, y su justicia sobre los hijos de sus hijos''. No es porque de lo que hacemos que hacen que sea bueno y tenga misericordia de nosotros, sino que más bien ha sido bueno con nosotros, incluso antes de que Él nos creó a su imagen y semejanza. En el Salmo 23: 6 dice que su bondad y la misericordia nos seguirán todos los dÃas de nuestra vida.
'' Porque seré propicio a sus injusticias y sus pecados y de sus iniquidades no me acordaré'' no más. Hebreos 8: 12 No ha hecho y nunca nos va a mirar de la misma manera nos mira como no dignos de su presencia, la misericordia, la gracia, el perdón. Al Él quiere oÃr y ver es que debemos reconocerle y creer lo que el Señor y nuestro salvador personal.
'' No por obras de justicia que nosotros hubiéramos hecho, sino por su misericordia nos salvó'' Tito 3: 5.

LAS PROMESAS DE DIOS
En la vida, cada persona tiene sus propias promesas de Dios. Las promesas de su padre, un miembro de la familia ni la de sus amigos no son los suyos. Asà también, todo el mundo tiene su propio don de Dios. Por lo tanto, tratar de localizar a su regalo y las promesas por ir a Dios que se revela todos los secretos.
THE POWER OF LOVE
God want us to give or share what we have with others and He gave us an example by
giving us His Son Jesus Christ to come and die for us through which we regain back our full relationship with God which He gave us before and was lost through Adam and Eve.You cannot love without giving and you
can give without loving.When you are in love, you will always give because love is giving, love is sharing, love does not hate, in love there is unity.
RECONCILIATION
For it pleased the father that in Him all the fullness should dwell. And
by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on
earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His
cross. And you, who once were aliented and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now He has reconciled. Colossians 1 : 19 – 21 God has
already reconciled us to Himself whether we like it or not no matter the
sin we might have committed and i think this call is what answering.
This is an opportunity we should not allow to pass us by. The prize of this reconciliation has been paid for and all He expect from us is to open our mind for Him and obey His command.
IDENTITY
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His
own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called
you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2 :
9
We are specially made by God not because of what we do, but rather because of His love for us. He already loved us even before knowing or even if you don’t know Him. It doesn’t matter if we recognise this identity which He has given to us because of the Love through His Son Jesus Christ, nobody can take it from us if we don’t allow it. I believe when one have a right, it is not ideal for him to leave this right to be taken from him. No matter the sins you might have committed because some people think that their sins are unforgiven, that is not true. Jesus Christ has paid the price for your sins therefore there is no unforgiven sin. In Psalm 82 : 6 the psalmist says that ” we are gods, and all of us are children of the Most High”. The question is how are we gods? In Genesis the bible says that God created us in His own image and if we have been created like that whom are we then – gods because chicken will always give birth to chicken and lion will always give birth to lion. According to the scripture, it did not say some people, but it says ”ALL OF US”. What God is expecting from us is to come back to Him like the prodigal son who after spending his portion of his father’s wealth went back to his father and ask for forgiveness and the father forgave him. So brethren, i believe we have to go back to our father and possess those great mansions He has kept for us.

BELIEVE
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father - John 14 : 12
We should believe in Him because He has given us victory in all area of our life no matter your circumstances. That situation is just for a while. All you need is to be firme without fear because He has given you all it will take to fulfil that great works you were created for.You are not in this world by mistake. You are here to put smile on many people. You will be very useful and helpful to many if, you don't allow that situation which you feel is very difficult to take you away from your dream.

WAIT PATIENTLY
When you are lonely, remember that it is for a season and God will always give you those good and perfect friends that you need to take you to the level God want you to be, if you can just decide to wait patiently and place your trust on Him because the scripture says that ''As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend'' - Proverbs 27 : 17. The divine connections that you need at any given time is in the hand of God so don't be disappointed if people has abandoned you for any reason.
THE POWER OF NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE WORDS
Adam and Eve listened to the negative words of the serpent that brought contamination to mankind, forgetting the positive words God spoke to them and God decided to give us another opportunity because of His love and mercy for us by sending His Son Jesus Christ so that the contamination will be removed from our life. For us not to make another mistake, He gave us the right to choose between life through Jesus Christ or death through sin and disobedience. I believe it is better for us to choose life and continue to obey His commandments. We should learn not to dwell in the negative words that people speaks into our lives.
Jesus Christ said, ''you are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what His master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father, I have made known to you.'' - John 15 : 14 - 15. We should serve Him with all our heart because His sceond coming is at hand and let us embrace His promises so that we can be among those that will inherit His kingdom.

THE POWER OF RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST
Jesus grave is empty and He is the first that has resurrected and this is the great happiness of easter and we have to be happy because His death is not in vain. And our faith is not in vain and His resurrection gave us hope. The scripture says, ''And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty'' - 1 Corinthians 15 : 14.
''And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins'' - 1 Corinthians 15 : 17. This is what gave us the redemptive power. We are no more slaves to sin. Therefore, let us believe in this sacrifice which gives us salvation, hope and the guarantee of our faith through Him. After the resurrection, the body of Christ did things that He could'nt do before, such as when He appears suddenly in a room without opening the door, coming out of the grave.
''But someone will say, how are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain - perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases and to each seed its own body'' - 1 corithians 15 : 35 - 38.
''However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust, the second Man is the Lord from heaven'' - 1 corinthians 15 : 46 - 47.
''And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins'' - 1 Corinthians 15 : 17. This is what gave us the redemptive power. We are no more slaves to sin.

IMPORTANCE OF CRUCIFIXION
''Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land'' - Matthew 27 : 45; Mark 15 : 33; Luke 23 : 44. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, ''Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani that is My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'' Matthew 27 : 46; Mark 15 : 34. He went to the cross because of you and me for the sins He did not commit. He did not disobey the Father. He was taken to the cross like a sheep because of our sins, problems, poverty, sicknesses, difficulties, backwardness, stagnancy, hatred, barrenness so that through His blood we will be free from all these problems. When He was being crucified, even the disciples that were with Him became hopeless, family members became hopeless, the Father could'nt help Him so that what has be written could be fulfil. Now, let us examine ourselves, how many of us will be ready to do this for his fellow human being? Absolutely no one. After the sacrifice which has made you and me a free man and a free woman today, what did He say we should do? He only demanded us to believe in Him and follow His commandments. I believe this is a sacrifice we have to appreciate with all our mind by accepting Him as our Lord and personal saviour. He is ever ready to forgive us no matter the level of the sins we might have committed.
''And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit'' - Matthew 27 : 50; Mark 15 : 37; Luke 23 : 46. ''Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom and the earth quaked and the rocks were split'' - Matthew 27 : 51; Mark 15 : 18; Luke 23 : 45. This is the point where you and me have the right today to call on the Father anytime, anywhere. There was no more secret in the Most Holy place. It was at this point that many who were with Him really believe that He was the Son of God. The bible make us to understand that forever the Word of God is settled in heaven. Despite the fact that His people which He has come to die for did not recognise Him, that does not make Him to refuse paying for our iniquities He still went to the cross because of His love for us and nailed it there through which we have the redemptive power today.

PRESSING FORWARD
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing i do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead - Philippains 3 : 13
LOVE
And this I pray that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment. Philippians 1 : 9 . Our love is suppose to grow more and more instead reverse is the case while because we don't spend time to learn and know more about this love of God.
So often we desperately search for God's will and discernment but spend little time learning, stretching and growing - Kathy Troccoli.

TRUST
We cannot pay for what Jesus has sacrificed for us, all He want us to do is to believe in Him and trust Him no matter what circumstances we might be passing through because He is always there for those who seek Him that is why the scripture says that ''Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him'' - Psalm 32 : 10
PRAYER
Father Lord, i thank You for making it possible for me to see this perfect day You have made, this perfect month which marks the anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lord, anything that is dead in my life, i command it to receive life in Jesus name. Every blessing which the enemy might have taken from me, i command them to return it back in Jesus name. Any of my blessing that have been burried, i command the power that resurrect Jesus Christ from dead to resurrect them back to life in Jesus name. Father, help me to walk in holiness, in purity and in sanity in Jesus name. Let there be a turn around in every area of my life most especially in knowing You in Jesus name.
