PRAYER IS THE KEY
PRAY IS THE KEY..
You can pray,
Like Daniel,
And stop the mouth of the lions;
...
You can pray,
Like Elijah,
And bring down fire from heaven;
You can pray,
Like Elisha,
And humble an enemy nation;
You can pray,
Like Moses,
And the sea will obey you;
You can pray,
Like Hannah,
And God will give you a Samuel;
You can pray,
Like Deborah,
And be a mother in Israel,
Yes, you can pray,
Like Esther,
And save a nation.
Beloved, please, pray that God should connect the shoulder, the hand and the head that would help you carry the load of your destiny to a glorious destination in Jesus name.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
How much time do we have? Jesus Christ is coming soon!
The rapture is not a joke; many have married the world as if they would leave this side of eternity.
Life is sweet, but death is sure.
Many have bluntly refused to fear and worship God because of worldly pleasures.
The other side of eternity is either HELL –CONDEMNATION OR HEAVEN- ETERNAL LIFE
Are you ready for hell fire, or are expecting to dwell the God and experience eternal joy, with God? There is the good way and there is the God way.
What way do choose to go, the good or the God way?
Many people are say but; there are so many things to give up; don’t you understand?
Mark 8: 36-38 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
1 John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Love not this world, or the things that are in the world. They have the capacity to derail you race and finally destroy you. Our primary assignment as we were commanded to “FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT” Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Do you not know that any area of your life that has been hooked by the world will be source of constant attack?
The evil world system is destructive and is already judged by God .The present world system is without God and there so much deception in now that can even ensnare believers to be part of it. Would you be part of it?
RECONCILE WITH GOD AND BALANCE YOUR LIFE’S ACCOUNT WITH HIM AND REIGN IN PEACE.

NO RETIREMENT AGE
God has no retirement age.
He retires those that are tired from following His ways and obeying His words whether young or old.

MR. FLESH
The body decay, there is little desire for work,
And a person yawns continuously’
As a falling stone cannot turn itself over,
He remains unable to change in his posture,
Even if the earth were to descend into the nether regions,
Or the sky fall down on him, it would not occur to him to rise,
He would like to sleep for as long as the earth exist,
For he has no other desire.

THE BREVITY OF LIFE....
THE BREVITY OF LIFE..
1Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
James 4: 13 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
A long time ago, there was a king who had an expert clown. The major occupation of the clown in those days was to entertain the king with funny displays and amusing jokes, therefore they were often regarded of foolish creatures.
Whenever the king was downcast or depressed, all he had to do was send for clown and soon, he (king) would be laughing happily and heartily.
One day, the king called his clown and said, “Hey you fool, come here, I need to talk to you” When the clown came closer, the king told him; “listen carefully, I’m likely to die soon. But before I die, I want to know who is more foolish than you in this kingdom.
I want you to search every nook and cranny of this land and bring me that person. I will give him my golden staff as a prize.” The clown did as he was commanded and went in search of the most foolish than himself. So, he returned to the palace to report to the king.
As soon as the monarch sighted him, he blurted out’ where is the man?!” the trembling clown was speechless for some time, then .. suddenly.. an idea occurred to him. “Excuse me, your highness,” he said, “ did you say you would die soon?” “And so?” the king retired. “If I may ask, “Continued the clown, “ Do you know what happens after death and have you prepared to grant a reply; “Well, I don’t know and I don’t care!”
The clown grinned triumph, snatched the staff from the king and returned it to him with the piecing remark; “Sorry, I shouldn’t have bothered searching here and there for what is so close to me.”
Does that not surprise you? The king thought he was far more intelligent than the clown, yet he was actually more foolish. Sadly there are many today who think and act like the king. They set goals for themselves and make lofty plans for the future without any thought of death and what happens after it.
And they think are wise and smart. Well, in the eyes of the world, that may be true, but in the eyes of God, they are the most foolish set of people!. Anyone whose way of thinking and living excludes preparation for life after death; anyone who is so preoccupied with earthly gains and worldly pursuits that he does not take time to considered the certainty of death or eternity is the most miserable of all men. 1Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Luke 12: 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Lord , I pray that no human or any power will recreate or reconfigue my life negatively in Jesus name. Grant me the grace focus and invest in heavenly things in Jesus name.

WHEN CASTS OFF RESTRAINT (BOUNDARIES)
WHEN MEN CASTS OFF RESTRAINT (BOUNDARIES)
Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.”
James 1:25 “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
A deacon son, who was deeply engrossed in meditation during a church service, and he failed to kneel at the appropriate moment.
His enemies quickly ran to the pastor and demanded that the deacon’s son be punished for his blasphemy.
He defended himself by saying...
"If those who accuse me had had their eyes and minds on God, as I had, they too would have failed to notice events around them, and they most certainly would not have noticed what I was doing."
.
How about you?
Are your eyes and mind on God?
You see, we're in the age of distraction. Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
There are more things now that gets our attention and it's harder to stay focused.
With technology, we now have email, Internet, chat, mobile phones, facebook, sports, etc.
All these compete for your attention and eats up some of your time.
The time that you should be spending on activities that will help you grow spiritually.
Studying, memorizing scriptures can take only 5 to 10 minutes of your time.
But what you'll gain spiritually is immeasurable.
Preserving and aligning your mind with God's Word and His promises is the fastest way to be closer to God.
God is ALWAYS looking forward to talk to you with all your attention is on Him.
So don't let the busyness of this world control your life.
Instead, let your life be controlled by the scriptures you've studied meditated upon and memorized.
