Text:Nehemiah2:5 (KJV)                                               

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it

Friends, we must be careful on how we build up in life. Yes, we cannot construct or erect anything without the necessary ingredients. And, favour is a must in this world of challenges as it breaths ease to man’s struggle that brings about soft landing if we must build according to pattern. Nehemiah as a man acknowledged the need to seek and receive the favour from the king which is a major tool that brought about ease and direction in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem even as he received clear vision from the Lord. Neh 2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

Amazingly, Nehemiah needed the king to send him with his favour that He may build back the walls. So, it pleased the king to send him and also to set a time. Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.  Hence, the opposition notwithstanding, the backing of the king stood out for the accomplishment of this great task. Therefore, with deep burdens and prayers we can attract the favour of God in all our endeavours today too. I pray we shall not advance without His sent favour of accomplishment in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help me not to labour by human effort rather may I walk with supernatural backing as you open onto me greater opportunities to build in life and destiny in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, the frustration can be as a result of lack of divine favour today.

Text: Numbers 14:24 (KJV)                                            

But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Friends, the life of Caleb and Joshua was an uncommon one because of what they were made of by walking with a different spirit. They saw things differently from the rest of the spies sent to Canaan. They refused to live in rebel and fear as many do today when they are confronted with life challenges.  But, these men rather saw the challenges as bread as their defense is in the Lord because we can see that the Lord is with us. And this the best attitude in a time like this – a different faith, different obedience, different report etc. and not murmuring which has become very common. Deut.1:36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the Lord. Caleb followed God with his whole heart, not half-heartedly.

Amazingly, in the course of their search, they concluded that the land is an exceeding good land while they stilled the people, that we are well able to overcome and possess the land. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Hence, they had a wholehearted spirit that brings about confidence in them that they will never bring evil report as they did not see the giants against them rather as bread unlike the others that were in their own eye as grasshoppers. But today, the Lord is giving us a new spirit that will give us boldness over our challenges in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help us to trust God and not to live with negative influence that makes many come with evil report in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, walking with a different spirit requires positive confession in the face of storm.

Text:Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)                                                  

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Happy New month of March

Friends, our walk in life is a journey with the almighty and it calls for a renewal of strength for us to go far and fat. Remember, there will be a time of weariness and discouragement, but with our hope in God we soar high like the eagles. We are usually confronted with the fears of unknown which brings about the limitation in the strength on the journey. Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  But, the good news is that we should not rely on our energy because on our own we can do nothing but with God we shall do valiantly today. Eccl.9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all

Interestingly, I encourage us not to live struggling on our strength, rather we should allow the strength of the lord to incubate us on a daily bases. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. So, no matter how long in the challenge of life, we should learn to lean on the wings of the almighty today. Hence, it comes from the place of prayer and among many other sources by the help of the Holy Spirit which supernaturally equips us for the journey ahead and through the power of His word in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, in any areas I am weary envelop me with your strength which can only from the almighty today in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, God’s strength is what sustains man in our endeavor and issues of life.

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)                                        

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Happy New month of March

Friends, welcome to another great day as it is an opportunity laid before us as God’s children. Yes, every day is a gift to us as it presents a fresh walk with God in spite of the challenges of the previous months. Hence, no matter what yesterday held against you as a mistake, learn to braze up because a new day is before you now. Let’s leave behind the burdens and walk into His new mercies for a new day.  Lamentation 3:22-23 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Therefore, learn to let go of the past as to embrace the newness of the day because it is a fresh gift that guides us for a new step to a greater tomorrow. Remember, as hold on to the past, you will not have the access to receive the new today.

Interestingly, this new beginning is not a time to dwell in the past because the past is past, it limits us from seeing the good things God is doing. Therefore, walk with sensitivity of the spirit as to see the new opportunity open today. There is an assurance that God is set to do a new thing which shall spring up now, only forget the past as you hold on with the covenant promise of God. Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.  So, let’s surrender our minds, thoughts, our body and our Spirit for a fresh walk with the almighty this new month. In so doing, it offers us the new pathway for an outstanding and transformative outcome in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.Father, help us to walk in the freedom Christ has given us by His sacrifice on the cross today  in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, a fresh walk requires you taking steps for a new faith now.

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)                                   

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Happy New month of March

Friends, CONGRATUTLATIONS and Happy New Month. We are so delighted to see this special month of March given to us as a privilege by God. It is not about us rather it is all about the almighty. Hence, we must cultivate a heart of thanks because it is more than a reaction to good things happening around you but a posture of the heart that makes one to thank God, people and also self immensely from a genuine thought. Psalm 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for His mercy endureth forever. Remember, giving thanks helps us to train ourselves to see the goodness of God in our lives and not focusing on life challenges which is inevitable as they bring about distractions and complains. Hence, God works signs and wonders at all seasons, so thanks Him today.

Amazingly, in this new month, let’s shift our focus rather keep your heart on the faithfulness of God and His wonders towards us which flows ceaselessly. Yes, life may not give us all that we planned but we should live a life of gratitude as to see the good and the generous act of God both in the big and the small.  Psalm 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter; and our tongue with singing; then said they among the heathen, they Lord hath done great things for them. In so doing, we acknowledge that God is in control of all. Therefore, I encourage you to put down on your journals the bullets of thanksgiving daily as to cultivate a life of appreciation in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help us to always give thanks to God and others for all the good and ultimately for redeeming our life from destruction in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, thanksgiving is mandatory to all and from all becasue the alternative is costlier.

Text: Romans 8:1 (KJV)                                                   

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Friends, our adoption into the kingdom of God has engrafted us into a life of approval and not condemnation. Yes, it is an inheritance by covenant by being in Christ, in that we no longer get disapproval which is evidently shown in anywhere we find ourselves as benefits from Christ are numerous. Therefore, our scripture today reminds us that Christ has removed condemnation, so that means sin has no more power over us as true believers. There is nothing the wicked can hold against us because we are accepted by Christ. Galatians 5:16-This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. By this we are no more enveloped with rejection rather acceptance. 

Amazingly, the involvement of Christ has reversed our sinful nature, and this, in turn, has erased that mark of condemnation over our lives as we carry a mark of touch not. Romans 8:31- What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? The good news is, we are attracted to favour by reason of our involvement with Jesus; so, we just need to give Him access, and in so doing, we will enjoy His full package. Thankfully, our entrance in Christ has given us great access, and we no longer live in the consciousness of guilt because of His mercy  is upon us today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, we celebrate our unlimited access and freedom in Christ which has influence our lives today in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, your new life is a spirit life and not flesh.

Text: Proverbs 6:20-21 (KJV)

My son, keep thy father’s commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

Friends, life is laid up with instructions which is a directive and guideline for rightful living. It can come from God, parents, advisers, mentors etc, but they are all essentials for our growth and flourishing. Often times, we think we know and reject the part of life.    Eph.6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Remember, they are commands and rules that guides our lives on a daily bases, so don’t ignore. However, we are to seek the stipulated dictates for our living. Therefore, we must allow the rules to take charge of our daily endeavours for a fruitful life. Hence, there are specifications for each day but we must yield ourselves to the warnings of the day because that is what keeps us away from the evil and the flaws of the season. It is wise we listen actively and be open as to keep instructions.

Amazingly, there are always instructions on how and what to do as a way out. It is often written in a book and attached with a product. They are advice and information for direction. So, as there are outlines, we must build the capacity to comply with the order. Remember, they are commandment of grace because they are bound with the ability of obedience.  Proverb 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. I encourage us to guide against the disastrous outcome as we align to detailed instructions by surrendering to God’s word in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, help us not to reject godly instructions as to avoid setbacks and failure in our endeavor in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember not to ignore instructions because we are tempted to disobey.
