GOD’S HAS PURPOSE IT, NO MAN CAN ANNUL
Dr. Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ tells this story of a famous oil field called Yates Pool:
During the depression this field was a sheep ranch owned by a man named Yates. Mr. Yates wasn't able to make enough on his ranching operation to pay the principal and interest on the mortgage, so he was in danger of losing his ranch.
With little money for clothes or food, his family (like many others) had to live on government subsidy.
Day after day, as he grazed his sheep over those rolling West Texas hills, he was no doubt greatly troubled about how he would pay his bills.
Then a seismographic crew from an oil company came into the area and told him there might be oil on his land. They asked permission to drill a wildcat well, and he signed a lease contract.
At 1,115 feet they struck a huge oil reserve. The first well came in at 80,000 barrels a day. Many subsequent wells were more than twice as large.
In fact, 30 years after the discovery, a government test of one of the wells showed it still had the potential flow of 125,000 barrels of oil a day.
And Mr. Yates owned it all.
The day he purchased the land he had received the oil and mineral rights. Yet, he'd been living on relief.
A multimillionaire living in poverty.
The problem? He didn't know the oil was there even though he owned it.
Many Christians live in spiritual poverty.
Simply because they don't take the time to read, study the word of God, confess God’s word and meditate scriptures.
They are entitled to the gifts of the Holy Spirit and his energizing power, but they are not aware of their birthright.
Today break that spiritual poverty though scripture meditation of God’s word..

WAKE UP YOUR INNER TREASURE
WAKE UP YOUR INNER TREASURE
The life of man is like a mirror. It never gives you back more than what you put before it. If you frown at it, it frowns back at you .The real tragedy in life is not when the life terminates but when it fails to fulfill God’s purpose for it.
It is a tragedy for somebody to have a talent and fail to use it until he dies Life is also a one –way street. We cannot come back once we go through it.
The tragedy of life is that a lot of people get wise when it is too late.
Please, get wise early; ask God for wisdom to excel and reign in life. God bless you.

CARELESS SEX, A QUIET DESTROYER OF COLOURFUL DESTINY.
CARELESS SEX, A QUIET DESTROYER OF COLOURFUL DESTINY.
1 Kings 11:1 -11 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
Some people are far below the ladder of success; and they wondering why their lives should be unfruitful and purposeless:-
The reason some people are far below the ladder now may be some careless sex they had when they were small boys and girls.
Sex can destroy someone’s beautiful and colourful destiny, and make that life a great regret.
I pray that you will wise and not love any strange thing that can make one regret later in life in Jesus name.

TRUST NOT IN YOUR OWN POWER
TRUST NOT IN YOUR OWN POWER
Mathew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Harry Houdini, the famed escape artist issued a challenge wherever he went.
He could be locked in any jail cell in the country, he claimed, and set himself free quickly and easily.
Always he kept his promise, but one time something went wrong.
Houdini entered the jail in his street clothes; the heavy, metal doors clanged shut behind him.
He took from his belt a concealed piece of metal, strong and flexible.
He set to work immediately, but something seemed to be unusual about this lock.
For 30 minutes he worked and got nowhere.
An hour passed, and still he had not opened the door.
By now he was bathed in sweat and panting in exasperation, but he still could not pick the lock.
Finally, after laboring for 2 hours, Harry Houdini collapsed in frustration and failure against the door he could not unlock.
But when he fell against the door, it swung open! It had never been locked at all!
But in his mind it was locked and that was all it took to keep him from opening the door and walking out of the jail cell.
That's how powerful your God-given mind is.
So if you think you're too weak to win any battle...then you're right.
If you think you are not a strong person and that you cannot win any race...then again you're right.
And if you think you're not favoured by God...you're right too.
Simply stated, you'll believe what you want to believe is true.
I'm sorry but all these are just lies that the enemy are whispering to your ears.
Because the enemy would rather have you meditate on fears, doubts, and impurity than the true and living power of the Word of God.
But I trust you that you'll make a right decision and start your journey to a healthier relationship with God and through your faith in God .
Today, make a bold step to bring your spiritual life to the next level.
God is waiting for you to move first before He will accomplish your aspiration.

GOD, THE REVEALER OF BENEFICIAL SECRETS
GOD, THE REVEALER OF BENEFICIAL SECRETS
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
An Arab chief tells a story of a spy who was captured and then sentenced to death by a general in the Persian army.
This general had the strange custom of giving condemned criminals a choice between the firing squad and the big, black door.
As the moment for execution drew near, the spy was brought to the Persian general, who asked the question, "What will it be: the firing squad or the big, black door?"
The spy hesitated for a long time. It was a difficult decision. He chose the firing squad.
Moments later shots rang out confirming his execution. The general turned to his aide and said, "They always prefer the known way to the unknown. It is characteristic of people to be afraid of the undefined. Yet, we gave him a choice."
The aide said, "What lies beyond the big door?"
"Freedom," replied the general. "I've known only a few brave enough to take it."
In life, you always have a choice to do the right thing over the wrong thing.
You can choose to do things that will help you grow spiritually or you don't. You can choose to read your Bible or watch television instead. You can choose to study God's Word or read a celebrity magazine.
Ultimately, every decision will lead you to a consequence.
So be smart in making decision and be serious in growing your faith.
Again, it's your choice to ignore this message or start a spiritual revival that will lead to a serious relationship with God; then you would be a Spirit-Filled Christian,
If you choose the latter... you better start moving and get out of your comfort zone.
Ignore the world and pursue after God.

GOD IS READY TO CHANGE YOU, ARE YOU READY?....
GOD IS READY TO CHANGE YOU, ARE YOU READY?....
Mathew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mathew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
A preacher and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums.
Said the barber to the preacher: "This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind and loving as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things."
The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkept and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face.
Said the minister: "You can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut and a shave."
Indignantly the barber answered: "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that. He has never come in my shop. I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!"
Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said: "Then don't blame God for allowing the people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved."
Truth be told, God can't change you unless you step forward and ask God to help you change for the better.
Take a step for God to help you resolve your life’s issue.
This simple step of studying the scriptures can change your life dramatically.
Hundreds of thousands of Christians have experienced the power of scripture meditation.
Be a doer and not just reader of God's Word.
