A pair of fetuses gradually began to develop in a womb, days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. Soon they were used to each other and their practically small and tight surrounding. One day, the first communicated with the other saying "I hear voices, there seems to be something more than this current environment we are"; the other kept quiet and went about his business. "Didn't you hear me, or haven't you noticed strange things happening around here: vibrations, movement, voices... I believe there's more to this present place". The other one looked at his neighbor disdainfully and retorted "if there's something else, why haven't we seen it since all these while; we were both small and have gradually grown this big that this place is even too tight, and it's been long we've been hearing voices and feeling vibrations but still nothing has happened,... Please if you don't have anything important to say, leave me alone....

"Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Romans 12:14" Devotion : The opening scripture has given us a key to eternal blessings. It exhorts us to bless those who persecute us; we should bless and not curse. As Christians, we have a forward and upward life: this means that we have been called only to blessings and not curses. We are the light of the world and must show the world the right way to live a godly life. When we curse, we are not living our nature and the enemy can creep in and destroy. Some of those who persecute us have a chance of being born again; therefore, if we curse them, all those who have the chance to receive Christ will miss this chance and go to hell. We reap what we sow; if we sow curses, we will reap curses, and if we sow blessings, we will reap blessings. Finally, our Lord Jesus Christ did not curse people - He only cursed a fig tree. Dearly beloved, have you been persecuted before? How did you handle it? Good day to you.

I sometimes think about the various experiences of some Mighty men when they cried out after having that Feeling of dejection. Relating their experiences with situations of life, I’ve realized that its quite decipherable to hold on. How do I mean? Taking a look at the life of men of valour recorded in the Word of God; they all had the idiosyncrasy of a good/fair enough beginning and a glorious ending; But what happened before the Glorious end product of the lives of most of them wasn’t pleasant. Each had their own obnoxious moment and at some point might have started doubting their faith; but one sure thing they did was to hold on. In life there are series of unpleasant moments we might have to go through; but as children of God, we could refer to these trial periods as the ‘Purification Processes’, likening it to the case of purifying gold. Gold in its crude/ore form is usually not attractive and at times could be mistaken for dirt (if you aren’t conversant with such). Before its ...

 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44" Devotion : Jesus Christ asked His disciples to love their enemies. Have you asked yourself what enemies Jesus Christ is asking His disciples to love? Of course, Jesus is not asking His disciples to love the devil and his children. There are people who seem to oppose us or hate us but when we love them, they will have a change of heart and receive the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, we have been blessed to be a blessing so we cannot curse; we need to show the world that we are of a different spirit. Lastly, pray for those who have been deceived into despitefully using and persecuting us; when we pray for them, the evil power behind their actions is dealt with and they are converted unto the LORD. Christians have a duty to pray for discernment to know the enemies they are to love, bless,...

I don't  know maybe you have heard this before or you have  ever think about this, that your healing, prosperity,good marriage and many physical miracle doesn't come as a result of Jesus death. Christ can do all that for you without going to the Cross but your Redemption  is the major reason for Christ death. Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins. Have you acknowledge the death of Christ in your life? Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.... A Good day to you.

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Corinthians 13:11" Devotion : The Bible has clearly told us the difference between a child and an adult or mature person. Children speak first of all, before trying to understand what they have said, then think through what they have uttered. Adults/mature people, on the other hand, will think through what they are about to say, understand it, and then finally speak their thoughts. This explains why children make a lot of mistakes and like making unnecessary noise. The scripture says that sin is not absent in a multitude of words but that he who restrains his lips is wise, Proverbs 10:19. Maturity lies in the ability to control one's thoughts and choose carefully before acting on them. A man or woman who has not put away childish things cannot go far in life, cannot achieve much, and will most likely be treated like a child. It is ...

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:16" Devotion : Prayer is so important for the children of God that it cannot be over emphasized. In the opening Scripture, Jesus Christ said He will pray the Father, and He shall give the disciples another Comforter. To pray the Father simply means to pray what God has already promised to give us. If the Son of God prayed to get things done on Earth, it simply means that without prayer nothing gets done on Earth. This is how vital and essential prayer is to the children of God. True to His Word, after He prayed, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, was released to abide with the saints forever (Acts 2:2-3). Hallelujah! The Holy Spirit has come to comfort, lead, guide, teach, remind, and help us to live the victorious life God has designed for us. Dear beloved, are you cooperating with the Comforter? Good Morning
