GROW IN GRACE

TEXT: 2nd Peter 3:18
"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen".

Beloved, to run life's race, you need grace. Grace is simply God in the race. So with God in the race, your life becomes a platform to showcase grace.

As a citizen of Gods kingdom, you are a full part taker of the Grace of God which is released and showcased on mankind as Titus 2:11 tells us.

As you grow in the grace and race, you would be faced with challenges at different points in time which will require help from God and that help is Grace. At every point in life's development, there are challenges but the level of your grace available in you and with you would make you overcome that phase. so you need to grow in grace to remain a victor at all times.

In order to grow in grace;

1. You have to ACCEPT Grace because what you accept is what can benefit you.

2. You have to be DEVOTED to the word of God. Joshua 1:8 so it is important that you get devoted to the word of God because the word of God makes it clear; the grace of God.

3. You have to APPLY and PRACTISE the word as James 1:22 tells us.

Furthermore, Grace gives you a platform. It also renders help on the platform to bring salvation. All these processes requires growth in grace to be accomplished.

As you grow in grace, you would become a great person.

PRAYER FOCUS:
Lord, I choose the part of growth in my challenges and your grace I seek.

STUDY FOCUS:
Isaiah 11:1-3, Zachariah 9:11-12

WALK BY FAITH

TEXT: 2nd Corinthians 5:7
"For we walk by Faith and not by sight".

Wow! So much has been said already about Faith but simple take note that faith talk is simply in exhaustive and it is a domain we operate in.

Friends, the God we believe is the God we depend on hence becomes the God we have faith in. Take note that the builder and maker of all things is God and He is above all other. Some people know and acknowledge His place as God while some others don’t. Some regard and refer Him by certain names while some regard Him but don’t find a befitting name to describe Him like it was the case with the Athenians until Paul came to bail them out by in fusing knowledge to them as seen in Acts 17:23-26.

Friend, even God wants you to reach him by faith as Hebrews 11:6 says. Faith is related to Hope as without it, the object of ones happiness would remain far off because faith is like a magnet.
Irrespective where you are in life’s placement, with faith you are bound for the next phase of your shinning as actions of faith connects you to God’s realm of release of blessings.

Why watch your life continue in a way you are not
comfortable with whereas the key of your excitement and blessing is around you. Don’t die there, take a FAITH step and see how much of life you would get.

It took the woman with the issue of blood a step of faith to gain her miracle. Do you know what could be running through her mind when she got healed? I suspect thoughts of this nature. Oh! Why didn’t Jesus move around earlier when i first experienced the challenge; Oh! why didn’t a neighbor or family member tell me about this man Jesus all along.
The list goes on but does this paint a picture of someone?
Oh! Yes it does and the good thing is that you too can smile again only if you decide to take a faith step again today.

Don’t stop taking faith steps for your miracle until it works for you because it works always but your mind need align to its ability to work for you.
You please God when you walk by faith.


PRAYER FOCUS:
Lord, I refuse to walk in flesh and sight but by faith.

STUDY FOCUS:
Philippians 1:1-6, Isaiah 52:1-3.

President Obama ridiculed on Snapchat by daughter Sasha

President Barack Obama has disclosed that his youngest daughter recently mocked him on Snapchat.

The US leader said Sasha had recorded him discussing the social network at a family dinner and then quietly posted to get reaction to her friends.

It is not the first time the president has discussed his 15-year-old's online activities.

In July, he said she also tweets, leading several media outlets to try to identify her account.
It remains secret.

Likewise a copy of the described Snapchat post has not been made public. Messages posted to the app are designed to disappear after being viewed or within a short period of time, but there are ways to circumvent the restrictions.

President Obama made a surprise appearance on 
Jimmy Kimmel's chat show earlier this week

"Sasha gave me instructions on Snapchat," he said.

"One night at dinner we're sitting there, and I had read that Snapchat was becoming really popular among her age group. So, I said: 'So, tell me about Snapchat.'

"So, she starts explaining stuff - you can make little
faces on your picture, and this and that and the other.

"And at the end of it, Michelle and I are sitting there. And I said: 'Isn't this interesting?'

"And I started talking to Michelle about the implications of social media and what all this means.

"Only to find out she was recording us the whole time, and then sent to her friends afterwards: 'This is my dad lecturing us on the meaning of social media.'

"And she took a picture of herself sort of looking
bored."

The president added that his wife - who joined Snapchat in June - and his eldest daughter Malia had "loved" the post.
The show's host, Jimmy Kimmel, joked that the event represented a security breach.

Email leaks

The president also mentioned that his own iPhone was limited to receiving emails and browsing the internet, and would not take photos, play music or make calls.

"My rule has been throughout my presidency, that I assume that someday, some time, somebody will read this email," he said.

"So, I don't send any email that at some point won't be on the front page of the newspapers."
Many of the features of the President's iphone are blocked

Hillary Clinton,who is campaigning to be the next commander-in-chief - has been beset by a scandal over leaked emails, while her rival Donald Trump has been accused of using outdated software on his company's email servers.

President Obama also said that he expected technology to preoccupy his successor.

"One of the biggest challenges are,how do we continue to get all the benefits of being in cyberspace
but protect our finances, protect our privacy?

"How do we balance issues of security? Because people expect the government to monitor this enough to protect them from bad guys.

"This is going to be a big debate that we're going to have for a long time."

PRAY FOR THE CHURCH

TEXT: Matthew 16:18 And I say unto thee that thou art Peter and upon this rock I would build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

At this crucial time was Jesus looking for who amongst his disciples was connected to heaven’s frequency for the time they were and only Peter proved by his outstanding response as Jesus concurred with his words in the opening text.

Note that Jesus was passionate about the move of building a body, a group to be called the church and needed the disciples to have understanding of the concept and process of building this church. It is upon the knowledge that Christ is the son of the living God and our Passover Lamb that the church needs be built and only Peter then by his quick and exhaustive response saw Christ as the initiator of that glorious to be CHURCH which you and I are members today having come into it by the gate of SALVATION concerning which even angels desired to looked into and the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you as 1st Peter 1:10,13 establishes. Glory to God!

The church was founded as a solution and not a problem. She was established by revelation for dominion over works of darkness. She was made rich for the continual spread of the gospel of our Lord Jesus as Zachariah 1:17 tells us, therefore to maintain her ground and course, she needs to be constantly prayed for and prayed with.

Beloved, you are a member of the body of Christ and you are loved by God so ensure you play your part today by constantly praying for the CHURCH.

The church is not just the building or place of meeting for worship but a greater part of the idea is about you.

Who makes up the church system?

1.BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Hebrews 13:1 - Let Brotherly love continue. It takes love of God to pray constantly for your brother and for your sister, both the known or unknown, both those hurting you or not. You pray for the constant unity and advancement of the purpose for establishing the church which even said “…gate of hell shall not prevail against it.

2. BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN LEADERSHIP/ AUTHORITY
Colossians 4:2-3 - It is good to pray consistently for your leaders in the local church where you worship so rather than join others without knowledge to criticize and castigate them, do pray for them.

3. BROTHERS AND SISTERS LOST IN SIN
John 10:16 - Jesus called them other sheep I have...". Dear, pray for souls lost in sin and in the grip of the god of this world as 2nd Corinthians 4:4 tells us.

Remember, their emancipation is your rejoicing and Gods glory is revealed the more in the CHURCH.

PRAYER FOCUS:
Lord, I am the church you built. Help me Lord to constantly pray for the Brethren.

STUDY FOCUS: Romans 1:16-17; Micah 4:1-2.

LET GOD’S WORD JUDGE

TEXT: Psalm 82: 8
Arise God to judge the earth for all nation belong to you.

It’s a fact that a man’s judgment is communicated by his words meaning his words spoken is his judgment passed, little wonder people take seriously a man’s words.

A peculiar and particulate thing about human being is that the same God’s judgment amidst the heavenly host which reads “Let us make man” in Gen. 1:26 is what gave man a chance to life. It is no doubt that man having license to choices and the consequences of his choices is now liable to think freely and similarly act same as this brings us to a category of persons referred to as “WICKED PEOPLE, WITH WICKED THOUGHTS”.

Sometimes in life, you run into business discussion or other forms of correction with people of this nature and they pour on you a bit of their contents which is wickedness, and you are tempted to quickly respond in similar way forgetting that you have the mind of Christ as Philippians 2:5 states.

Therefore, it becomes an act of maturity to allow for God’s word to still rule your mind and guide your steps and actions without retributing or paying evil back to the person.

What happens when you let God’s word judge:

1. PEACE WITH GOD
There’s a feeling of excitement you have knowing you are at peace with God your Maker and this could come by when you choose rather to let God’s word judge.

2. PEACE WITHIN YOURSELF
Philipians 4:7 “God’s peace shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus". Glory to God!. This state of life can’t be bought by money or addictive but you could allow it play out naturally. Friend! For the sake of peace within, let God’s word judge.

3. PROGRESS
This is a state of constant movement in a direction of pursuit. “When man’s way please God, even enemies would be at peace" meaning everything would begin to workout smoothly and beautifully. That would be your experience in Jesus name. Come on my friend, love progress over stagnation and allow God’s word judge you.

4. PLEASURE
Job 36:11 Pleasures come by obeying therefore "No obedience, No release of pleasures" which renews your youth as the eagle. It’s wisdom to accept pleasures over pain so allow Gods word have a free course today and see how beautiful your day would turn out.

5. PRESERVATION God’s word is capable of shielding you so allow it today to do it’s work as you but allow Gods word to judge your Moves, Motives and Memories.

PRAYER FOCUS:
Lord, Judge me by your word and grace me for your judgment in Jesus name.

STUDY FOCUS:
Exodus 1:1-5, Phillipians 4:1-4.

JUDGE BY GOD’S WORD

TEXT: John 5: 30

It’s an act of cowardice to die before ones real death takes place although many have left life centre stage too quickly because of the judgment sentence passed on them or with them. In a world framed and formed by God’s word; there can be no better judge other than same word. Therefore ensure your judgments over issues are based on the provisions or content of the WORD because only then can it pass the QA (Quality Assurance) test and be upheld in High quarter.

From scriptures, Joshua & Caleb had a sense in contrast to that of the majority as this helps to buttress that MINORITY with God’s word is considered highly before God than majority without an iota of it. Little wonder in Ezekiel, He said “…I sought for a man…”.

Joshua and Caleb had their mind on the judgment by God’s word as that only can save a dying soul or situation. Are you at the point of judging by your senses, friends suggestions, bosses insinuations or circumstantial dictation, please no, consider God’s judgment as that only has a far reaching and long lasting effect as psalm 119:98.

To Judge by God’s word you must take away;

1. FEAR:
This is a major stumbling block to many in judging by God’s word. Its likened to a cancer capable of spreading so quickly and freely to eat up the strength and courage of judging by God’s word. Beat it and win the battle over it.

2. ALTERNATIVES:
This is far worse than the previous as it ends up eating up your chances of exhibiting your choices by presenting appealing choices and almost denying you the opportunity of picking the ONE important and capable choice to act on. Avoid having alternatives because it could cripple great dreams from coming through.

3. SENSE ORGANS VOICE:
Every thing created craves for significance hence you must avoid hearing and seeing from your sense organs because it’s judgment may not be in tune with that which God's word says.

4. PROCRASTINATION: Taking a late step could also mean not taking a step at all so watch against this and act fast on the Word of God.

Remember, sometimes stepping fast could mean stepping right.

PRAYER FOCUS:
I receive grace to judge only as your word instructs. Help me oh! Lord.

STUDY FOCUS:
Acts 4:28 -30; Gen. 1:1-3.
