Nothing transforms like information and; nothing revolutionizes like revelation Knowledge. Information with knowledge is power and information through the word of God is life. Nothing revolutionizes like revelation knowledge, the revelation knowledge of the power of God. But you shall know the truth and the truth you know shall make you free.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 23, 2015 IS ACTS 20:1-24 DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT THAT GRANTS PEACE & JOY:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE IS ACTS 20:1-24 DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT THAT GRANTS PEACE & JOY:
1. I will appreciate it if you will pay attention to one of the keys that breaks and destroys the yokes of restlessness, worries, anxiety, stress, and frustrations is the key of divine words of encouragement. Have you been in a troubled waters before in your family, place of work, business or career frustrations? If yes you can understand what I am about to say here, and suddenly somebody filled with the spirit of God came in and chip in one word and the whole fire in the place just quenched, and everywhere was calm again. There is power in divine words of encouragement to restore peace and joy when the enemy of confusion sneaks in, use it always and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. See verses 1-6
2. I want to exhort you today to be calm in times of crises, trust in God even when it looks unrealistic and impossible, and believe that there is nothing God cannot do, when you positioned your frame of mind in who God is and what he can do, and that he cannot fail, whatever challenge that come your way you will defeat it and have your peace. Here are the strategies Apostle Paul applied to raise the death:
a) He used the falling of Eutychus from three story building, pronounced dead to prove to them that God is God.
b) He was calm, went ahead and break bread, the power of communion for life
c) Applied the power of laying an anointed hands to make a difference
d) Applied the power of positive words that he is alive when others said he is dead
e) Exercise the authority that Jesus has given to us through his death on the cross
f) Eutychus came back to life and peace and joy reigned in that home.
How do you managed your crisis, challenges, trying times, pains etc? Is it with fear or faith in God? See verses 7-12
3. Sometimes it is difficult to part from what you love or cherish, but you must be prepared to choose between what God called you to do and what your flesh is desiring, the two are always in conflicts in our lives but Apostle Paul handled it here so intelligent through the power of the Holy Spirit, his flesh was afraid of the trouble he will encounter where he was going but his spirit was ready to do what God called him to do for him. How do you manage your conflicting situations in your life between your flesh and your spirit? Learn from him below for your peace:
a) He silenced his fleshly desires by listening to God than his flesh
b) He will not allow anything to hinder him from the Pentecost service
c) He told the elders of the Church about the importance of humility
d) He asked them to put God first above all things for their peace and joy
e) He told them that they must be tested even with their lives for Gods name
f) He encouraged them never to give up no matter what because Jesus did not
g) He told the elders in Ephesus the importance of repentance for their peace
h) He taught the Elders as well never to differentiate on race or culture because we are all from one God and to have faith in Jesus for Peace. See verses 13-21.
4. Finally I want us to imitate the actions of Paul in this message, every minute of his life with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was faced with sufferings and death, his life was not secured by flesh because of his past activities which still haunts him where ever he goes, but he did not give up on what our Lord Jesus called him to do. How are you doing what you are called by God to do? Are you running with your Gods given vision? Or are you dancing to the tune of your flesh and listening to mortals instead of the immortal God? Learn from Paul today who said that he is not moved by the bumpers, challenges, and man’s inhumanity to man because of the love of Jesus Christ, but he is concerned to finish what he has started. Are you concerned to finish what God has trusted in your hands? If not think again today and correct your ways to walk in peace and joy. See verses 22-23.
5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of Divine Encouraging that will grant Peace and Joy to you and your household in Jesus name Amen.
Acts 20:1-24New International Version (NIV)
Through Macedonia and Greece
20 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia. 2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, 3 where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia. 4 He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. 6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas
7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. 9 Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. 10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!” 11 Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12 The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.
Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. 15 The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus. 16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, for he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church. 18 When they arrived, he said to them: “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. 19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents. 20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

BLESSED ARE YE THAT HUNGER NOW: FOR YE SHALL BE FILLED. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW: FOR YE SHALL LAUGH. BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL, FOR THE SON OF MAN’S SAKE. REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY: FOR, BEHOLD, YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US: FOR MONDAY AUGUST 17, 2015 IS: LUKE 6:21-23 (KJV) “BLESSED ARE YE THAT HUNGER NOW: FOR YE SHALL BE FILLED. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW: FOR YE SHALL LAUGH. BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL, FOR THE SON OF MAN’S SAKE. REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY: FOR, BEHOLD, YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN”. I bring you uplifting words of encouragement today that will bring peace and restore the lost glory and joy of the Lord in your life and family. Do you know that many are frustrated because of what to eat and drink in this our generation? Do you also know that many cry day and night because they are rejected, called different kinds of derogatory names for standing on the truth and what is right in the sight of God and humans? If you fall in any of the group above or both, rejoice for you are not the first and neither will you be the last, for your day of laughter and greatness is here now. Sometimes people get worried because of the actions and words of people around them whom they trust so much, but are disappointed by them. It sometimes get out of hands when the same people you give everything you have to bring them out of the pit of hell and to restore them to human dignity in the kingdom of God, so that the Lord of peace will grant them access to his joy, but they choose not to but rather hate you for being nice to them and showing them the way of truth and life. Jesus our Lord experienced same in the hands of the Pharisees and Sadducees but he didn’t give up on them but gave his life to restore life eternal to them. If you are in Jesus shoes right now, please do not give up but continue to sow the seed of love and truth, so that one day, the eyes of the blind will be opened to know that you meant and wished them well. Let me reveal a secrete to you here, the more you are hated, ridiculed, made to hunger, castigated with evil names, the more they open doors and windows of heaven for your blessings, joy, peace and greatness. Remember that you need not to fight such battles but to hand it over to God who is the all knowing and all doing God to take care of for you. And it is on record that HE has never lost any battle and will never lose in yours. I challenge you to continue to do what is right in the sight of God and Man and do not listen to side distractions so that your joy will be full and the peace of God that passes all understanding will be your portion. Remember that your reward is not only on this planet earth but also in heaven where there is nothing like pain or sorrow. Please do not forget this and be blessed Amen.
Read below: Luke 6:21-23 King James Version (KJV)
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 16, 2015 IS NEHEMIAH 8:1-18 THE LORD OF PEACE WITH HIS JOY FOR US THROUGH HIS WORD:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 16, 2015 IS NEHEMIAH 8:1-18 THE LORD OF PEACE WITH HIS JOY FOR US THROUGH HIS WORD:
1. I am always excited each time I open the book of law of the Almighty God, which I call the book of wisdom, there is no how you can open the “BIBLE” and will not benefit something from it that will give you peace of mind and great joy. Are you restless, distressed, worried or confused? Read the word of God and get back your peace and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. See verses 1-5
2. We must come to the understanding that the Priests of God are charged with the responsibility of expanding the scriptures to meet the needs of the congregations, because the word of God answers all things and doeth all things because it is God himself read John 1:1. See as the Priest of God Ezra used the word to restore Joy in the land:
a) He blessed the Lord the Great God and all the people said Amen
b) He praised God and everybody lifted up their hands with joy
c) With joy the people bowed their heads on the ground to God
d) Ezra and the Levites caused the people to understand the law
e) The minister’s responsibility is to use the word to meet needs
f) Nehemiah, Ezra and the Levites all taught the people the word for their joy to be full, but they were crying because of their shortcoming but the priest said to them that the day is Holy unto the Lord and not for weeping but to rejoice and be at peace
g) When you receive the word of God with your heart, you will eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: because the day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. See verses 6-10
3. I encourage you to make out time to study the word, swallow it make it a life style to be path of you, so that nothing will rub you of your peace and joy. When you make it a duty that must be fulfilled daily in your home, the results it will bring into your family lives will be so amazing that everybody around you will like to be infected with the word especially when you receive the words that were declared by your priests, it opens the following doors:
a) Abundance that has no end known as limitless blessings
b) Fulfillment and accomplishments that will make you a celebrity
c) It turns you to lend to nations and never to borrow
d) The Lord himself will be the one that will build you in all areas.
See verses 11-16.
4. Finally I want to encourage you to make use of the word of God to restore all things that the enemies may have stolen from you, use the word to command the supernatural, use it to restore peace and joy, use it to reverse all irreversible in your life, use it to silent every power of darkness, use it to raise the death back to life, for that is what you are called to do as a child of God. May “The Lord of Peace” open doors of great joy for you this week as you take authority with the word of God to make a difference as a child of God Amen? See verses 17-18.
5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power from the Lord of Peace with joy through his word that will make you a vessel of honour all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Nehemiah 8:1-18 King James Version (KJV)
8 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them. 13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. 14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: 15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. 18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 17, 2015.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 9, 2015 IS ISAIAH 48:1-18 STUBBORNNESS IS THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO OUR PEACE AT HOME AND IN OUR SOCIETY:
STUBBORNNESS IS THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO OUR PEACE AT HOME AND IN OUR SOCIETY :
1. I have taking time for over one week to highlight the source and keys that opens doors for peace, so that the Lord of Peace will come into your life and your home. But in this message today, I will be looking at the hindrances and enemies of peace. How do I identify the obstacles or enemies of peace in my life? Here are some of the manifestations:
a) Taking oath in the name of God when you are doing what is wrong
b) Walking in unrighteousness instead of righteousness & take joy in it
c) Claiming to know God with your words but not with your hearts
d) Walking in stubbornness, stiff-necked, incorrigible, faithless etc.
e) Professing to serve God but worshiping wooden idols/foreign gods
f) Failing to admit your faults, inabilities but claiming what you are not
g) Treacherous in nature and rebelliousness in behavior. Enough is enough turn around today and get your peace back. See verses 1-8.
2. It might interest you to know that the God we serve is merciful, who is always ready at anytime to take us back as we are and cleans us from all uncleanness and restore us to health and grant us peace. Are you ready for that peace that comes from God? If yes, take note of the followings:
a) God delays his wrath upon you because of his name Jehovah
b) He holds back and stops completely anything that will destroy you because of his praise. Do you Praise him?
c) God refines us through afflictions, have you been tested? Peace
d) God sacrificed everything for our peace and his glory, what of you?
See verses 9-11.
3. Listen my brethren, God is reaching out to you now and calling you out of whatever mess you found yourself in to turn back to him, He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the one who see the end from the beginning return to him and embrace the Lord of Peace to fulfill your purpose on earth, please reject and renounce every form of idol of the Babylonians so that your peace will not be hindered but put your trust in God at all times. See verses 12-15
4. Finally God is calling on you today to listen to him, when you walk in the Spirit of God you will hear when he speaks and when you hear from him, your life will be transformed and when your life is transformed you will have intimate relationship with him and when you have intimate relationship “The Lord of Peace” will live with you all the days of your life. And these blessings will follow you:
a) The sovereign God is speaking to you now and not in secrete listen
b) He has endowed you with the Holy Spirit to do all things in peace
c) He is the Lord that teaches you how to make profits. Receive it now.
d) He is the Lord that leads and directs you the way you should go
e) If you pay attention to him, your peace will be like a river Amen.
See verses 16-18.
5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reject stubbornness, hindrances, carelessness that will hinder your peace and walk in righteousness and holiness that will grant you lasting peace from God in Jesus name Amen.
Read below:Isaiah 48:1-18 New International Version (NIV)
Stubborn Israel
48 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel and come from the line of Judah, you who take oaths in the name of the LORD and invoke the God of Israel— but not in truth or righteousness—
2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and claim to rely on the God of Israel— the LORD Almighty is his name: 3 I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. 4 For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze. 5 Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’
6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? “From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. 7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today.So you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew of them.’ 8 You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth. 9 For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath;
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely. 10 See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. 11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.
Israel Freed
12 “Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called:
I am he; I am the first and I am the last. 13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together. 14 “Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things. The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out his purpose against Babylon; his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a] 15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I will bring him, and he will succeed in his mission. 16 “Come near me and listen to this: “From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there.” And now the Sovereign LORD has sent me, endowed with his Spirit. 17 This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME”:
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US: FOR SATURDAY AUGUST 8, 2015 IS: JOHN 14:1-3 (KJV). Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME”. I have taken time to carry out surveys on three different age groups beginning from the age of 18-25, 26-33 and 34-40. I carefully selected the three age groups because it is the age that most people are anxious about life for achievements; career wise, professional fulfillment, business success, and visions consciousness to reach the mission of their visions. I hear from people on the streets that a fool at forty is a fool for ever, this proverb or words of wisdom as many calls it, makes the three age groups I highlighted above so nervous to make it big in one day, and in the process they get themselves into troubles and peace eludes them for not taking life easy with patient and according to Gods plan and purpose for their lives. Are you one of those in these age groups above? Please take life easy so that the peace of God and his blessings will abide with you. I am not saying that those above the three age groups are perfect but I am saying that the listed three different age groups are so much in a hurry about life and sometimes run more than the God that created them. I want to give a general recipe for peace, based on the results of my research surveys with the listed age groups, which can serve as a word of wisdom for all age groups, if you want to live a peaceful and blessed life as follows:
1. No matter the situation you find yourself let not your heart be troubled, but hand over the situation to God
2. Make sure you put your trust in God and believe he is able
3. Be well informed that there is nothing that God cannot do and there is nothing he cannot supply provided that you ask.
4. Know that Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for you so that you can be where he is and not buried on the ground here
5. Know that before you were put into your mother’s womb, God has finished everything about your journey on earth from the beginning to the end. That means you must walk with God’s plan and purpose for your life and not just everything you desire.
6. Remember that God will always give you the vision but the plan to get to your destinations you will work out that through revelation knowledge. That is where most people fail, because they think that God will give them the vision and the plan to reach the mission of their vision. It is not so. That is why you need to fast and pray for the revelation knowledge to drive your visions to its destination so that the Lord of Peace will be with you and your household. Be blessed.
Read below: John 14:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 9, 2015.

Sunday, August 2, 2015
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 2, 2015 IS 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 1-18 THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE:
THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE:
1. Statistics has proved that majority of those who are troubled at heart or restless in life are those who do not put their trust in God. How do I know those who do not put their trust in God? Here are some of the manifestations:
a) They faint because they are dishonest, and peace elude them
b) They walk deceitfully and handling the word of God with craftiness
c) We should walk in truth at all times in services to God and Man
d) We should resurrect from our evil ways to holiness & righteousness
e) Do not allow the gods of this world to blind the light of your heart
f) Let the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus shine through you to all
g) Do not preach yourself if you want peace but preach Jesus our Lord
See verses 1-5.
2. Those who are in the milk level of the word of God believe that when they are newly saved, everything will change immediately for good and peace but it is not so, they do not know that we will partake in the sufferings of our Lord Jesus which is the juicy aspect of this race for our peace, the more we suffer, the more we succeed, they more we go through things, they more stronger we are in peace and joy, the more we are afflicted, the more we are uplifted. Take note:
a) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
b) We are perplexed, but not in despair;
c) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed
d) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
e) That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body
See verses 6-10
3. Most of us desire to have peace but we do not want to do what it takes to have peace. Jesus gave it all including his life for you and I to have peace today, what have you sacrificed for peace to reign in this world? We all desire peace but we do not want to do anything to have that peace or for our fellow humans to have that peace, it is not so, Jesus on the mount of Beatitudes said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. The law of give and take cannot be broken, if you desire peace sow peace in someone’s life. See verses 11-14
4. The word grace has been running into my spirit, or should I say abundant grace, which ever one you can lay your hands on please do if you want “The Lord of Peace” Jehovah Shalom to be with you in this Month of August. How do I connect to abundant grace? First thing to do is to ask for all doors of repentance to be opened unto you; which are; the doors of Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness. Then Jehovah Shalom will be with you till eternity. When he comes into your life, here is the evidence to validate his power:
a) You will be renewed daily
b) Light affliction will turn to glory
c) You will not walk by sight but by faith (Great Reward)
d) You will know that the things which are seen are temporal
e) The things not seen are eternal (Seek those things from now).See verses 15-18.
5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reject the present weaknesses in your life and turn them to strength to fulfil your purpose on earth so that “The Lord of Peace” will be with you till eternity in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: 2Corinthians 4: 1-18 King James Version (KJV)
Present Weakness and Resurrection Life
4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JOSEPH, FOR AS MUCH AS GOD HATH SHEWED THEE ALL THIS, THERE IS NONE SO DISCREET AND WISE AS THOU ART: THOU SHALL BE OVER MY HOUSE, AND ACCORDING UNTO THY WORD SHALL ALL MY PEOPLE BE RULED: ONLY IN THE THRONE WILL I BE GREATER THAN THOU
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE: FOR FRIDAY JULY 31, 2015 IS: GENESIS 41:38-44 (KJV). Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “AND PHARAOH SAID UNTO JOSEPH, FOR AS MUCH AS GOD HATH SHEWED THEE ALL THIS, THERE IS NONE SO DISCREET AND WISE AS THOU ART: THOU SHALL BE OVER MY HOUSE, AND ACCORDING UNTO THY WORD SHALL ALL MY PEOPLE BE RULED: ONLY IN THE THRONE WILL I BE GREATER THAN THOU”. I am in deed grateful to God for reversing all irreversible for us who call upon his name and put out our trust in him irrespective of bumpers, challenges, trials and inconsistencies of life. I have no doubt in my mind that those of you following our teaching series on the social media, and the soldiers of the Lord in LWFM house of God have reversed the irreversible in their lives this month of July. I have come with this word on this last day of July to congratulate you and to challenge you to keep that fire which you have received this month till eternity. The experience of Joseph’s irreversible reversed in a second after a long journey of pains, sorrows, humiliations, intimidation, oppression and afflictions beginning from the household enemies, the ones who ate with him in the same house, pretend to love him, but did everything to take his life, but the God he served said no. Do you serve that same God? Do you have some irreversible to be reversed? If yes, be diligent, humble, observant, obedient, and put your trust in the hands of the Almighty God. Joseph’s encounter from the prison to the palace is not a coincidence but journey of keeping destiny, are you keeping your own destiny? And not allowing the household enemies, the Ishmaelite, the Potiphar’s wife, and the prison pains to stop you from fulfilling your destiny. I have to remind you on this last day of July our month of reversing irreversible that without pains there is no joy, without break there is no breakthrough, without death there is no life, without lack there is no abundance, without barrenness there is no fruitfulness, without failures there is no success, without wilderness there is no promise land etc. Where ever you are right now be encouraged because your time of glory and greatness is reachable provided you serve that Living God called I AM THAT I AM IN EVERY SITUATION. I look forward to seeing you in the month of THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US. Congratulations.
Read below: Genesis 41:38-44 King James Version (KJV)
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? 39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 1, 2015.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JULY 26, 2015 IS JUDGES 6: 1-26 REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE OF OPPRESSION TO BE FREE:
REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE OF OPPRESSION TO BE FREE:
1. Permit me to begin this message by asking you what you will do when you are faced with diverse oppressions beyond your control? I will proffer a solution here, please cry out in prayers unto the lord for he is the one who is more than able to reverse all irreversible of oppressions in all areas of life. See verses 1-6
2. Kindly pay adequate attention to this message, the only power that can free you totally from all forms of oppressions is by confessing our Lord Jesus as your Lord and acknowledging the Almighty God as your Father that all power is in his hands to do and undo. And also obeying his commandments and living right for him to reverse the irreversible of oppressions from your enemies. See verses 7-10
3. Brethren be careful what you do, say, and think when you are in the presence of a stranger you do not know. Gideon encounter with the Angel of God is a lesson every child of God should learn on how to receive people. There is a giant and champion in you that you have not discovered in yourself because of the pains of oppressions and deceptions of the enemy. Watch out here the encounter of Gideon with the Angel of God:
a) The Angels greetings: The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valour
b) Gideon’s answer: O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are the miracles our fathers told us?
c) Gideon again: The Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Medianites, in other words handed us over to be oppressed by the oppressors. Are you in Gideon situation right now? If yes then the giant in you is about to manifest. Call it out now.
d) Then the Lord: turned to him and said; Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
e) Gideon again: So he said to Him, “O my Lord,[b] how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
f) And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man. Take note: When you put your trust in God, everything becomes possible for you including the irreversible situations in your life like that of Gideon.
h) Gideon again: Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me. Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” Gideon was clever, wise, and a giver, he knows and understands the law of seed time and harvests. Many believers are poor today because the do not understand the principles of given. Are you the one am talking to now, change today?
i) The Lord: And He said, “I will wait until you come back. This proves to you that God is patient with us and loves us See verses11-18
4. There is something I learnt from this act of given of Gideon, which I want all my followers to embrace today because you do not know when you will entertain an Angel of God. Gideon went into his father’s house to bring out the best that he and his father has to entertain the stranger without knowing he was entertaining an Angel and storing in his store house in heaven, and releasing the blessings of God upon his life. When have you stored in your store house in heaven by given liberally and without attachment? Gideon obeyed every instruction from the Angel. They know it all, learn here. See verses 19-20
5. The thing that happened to Gideon right from that moment he brought that food, which he specially prepared for the Angel of God without knowing that he was entertaining an Angel are as follows:
a) His inner eyes otherwise known as the spiritual eyes opened immediately he placed the food at the rock
b) The Angel touched the foods with his staff of office and the smoke of the food ascended into heaven as an acceptable sacrifice.
c) Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face.” But the Angel said to him fear not and Peace be unto you. That word is for somebody that is oppressed right now, in a situation that you do not know what to do? I speak into your life FEAR NOT & PEACE BE UNTO YOU. My God will reverse the irreversible in your life, YOU SHALL NOT DIE but are restored physically, spiritually and financially in Jesus name, can I hear a loud Amen? See verses 21-23
6. Finally, I want to encourage you to make sure that you have an Altar of peace in your home this weekend that LWFM World Prayer force for Peace built an ALTAR OF PEACE for the seven continents of the world countries and cities yesterday July 25, 2015 to observe our yearly Altar building for 2015, so that peace will reign in our lives, cities, nations and continents, so that the enemy that breeds oppressions will never have access to our lives. Gideon did something outstanding here as follows:
a) Gideon built an Altar where he had an encounter with the Angel and called it “THE LORD OF PEACE” with him, say with me?
b) God commanded Gideon that same day to tear down the Altar of Baal that his father worshipped and raise the Altar of God there and it was done in the night as he was commanded. Have you torn down every evil Altar speaking in your life and family and replaced it with the Altar of Peace of God
c) God commanded Gideon to make a proper arrangement for the Altar of God where he and his household will commune with God regularly at that Altar. Do you have a place in your home, where you have built an Altar of God, where every member of the family will bring their sacrifices, prayers, requests and commune with God regularly for all their needs? If not do it Today. See verses 24-27
7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reverse the irreversible of oppressions manipulated from the pit of hell and replace it with the Altar of Peace of God and Joy all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Judges 6:1-26 New King James Version (NKJV)
Midianites Oppress Israel
6 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years, 2 and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains. 3 So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them. 4 Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey. 5 For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it. 6 So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD because of the Midianites, 8 that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage; 9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land. 10 Also I said to you, “I am the LORD your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not obeyed My voice.’”
Gideon
11 Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” 13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord,[a] if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.” 14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” 15 So he said to Him, “O my Lord,[b] how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” 16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” 7 Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me. 18 Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You.” And He said, “I will wait until you come back.” 19 So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them. 20 The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so. 21 Then the Angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the LORD departed out of his sight. 22 Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face.” 23 Then the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die.” 24 So Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace.[c] To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 25 Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, “Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image[d] that is beside it; 26 and build an altar to the LORD your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down.”

Sunday, July 19, 2015
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JULY 19, 2015 IS DANIEL 6: 1-27 THE IRREVERSIBLE OF DANIEL’S DEATH SENTENCE IN THE LIONS DEN REVERSED TO LIFE AND GREAT PROSPERITY:
THE IRREVERSIBLE OF DANIEL’S DEATH SENTENCE IN THE LIONS DEN REVERSED TO LIFE AND GREAT PROSPERITY:
1. When you distinguish yourself before God, Kings, Queens, prince, princes and rulers in authority, it will attract envy and jealousy among your peers to an extent that they will connive with your worst enemy to attempt to take your life. But if you are the one who serves the Almighty God in truth and spirit like Daniel, your detractors or household enemies will end up chasing shadows or the winds, because the God we serve reverses every irreversible and will reverse the irreversible of death through false allegation against you as was done for Daniel when he was thrown in the Lions den to die, but the Almighty God reversed that death to life. I speak into your life today that the God I serve will reverse every irreversible of death in your life Today. Can I hear Amen? See verses 1-5
2. Sometimes our enemies usually think that they are clever than everybody including God, with particular reference to those who are possessed by Satanic Spirits. They will go to any extent to achieve their evil purpose or deeds, but have forgotten that all powers are in the hands of God who reverses the irreversible. Look at the Strategies of the enemies of Daniel just to put him to death as follows:
a.) The administrators and satraps went as a group to the king because of Daniel and said: “May King Darius live forever (Evil Plot)
b.) The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to the King, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. (Knowing that Daniel Prays to God)
c.) They said Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed. (Just to kill Daniel)
d.) Take note here, the King Darius put the decree in writing without knowing the purpose of the enemies of progress for Daniel. Beware of what you say! Do! Sign! And approve. Know the motive first before authentication. See verses 6-9
3. Do not allow any law, decree, evil plots, Sambalats, Tobias, or household enemies to stop you from serving the Almighty God, so that they will not steal your blessings and hinder your personal relationship with God. Daniel did not allow the decree or evil plots to stop him from praying to God because he believed in God and know that he is well able to reverse every irreversible. Take note if their plot could not kill Daniel, no evil plots by your enemies, detractors and agents of darkness will kill or stop you from being who God say you will be, as far as you continue to call and serve the Living God. See verses 10-14
4. I Love the hour of miracle, which I usually call the edge of break or the Seasons of hopelessness when the enemies will be rejoicing that they have gotten you, but suddenly your God, my God intervenes and reversed the irreversible. The enemies of Daniel spied on him praying and went to the King and said Daniel your loved one have broken the law you made and you know that the Law cannot be reversed or broken, not to talk of a slave Daniel, but the King in pains with his hands tied said to Daniel; May the God you call deliver you from the hands of the Lion. And he did and reversed that irreversible for Daniel. Receive the anointing power to reverse every irreversible like that of Daniel when all hope is lost now and be free Amen. See verses 15-17
5. Do you know that sometimes the hand of the leader is tied to a law that he made or the one the nation or community handed over to him to implement, that sometimes it caused leaders pain to implement them? King Darius was in that position on Daniel’s matter. But he did something I love, he prayed and fasted for Daniel to be delivered from the same law he was coerced to make and God heard him and Daniel’s prayers (The Prayer of Agreement). He woke up first thing in the morning to look up if the God of Daniel has delivered him, and it was so. Daniel said to him My God shut up the mouth of the Lions oh King because I was innocent of the decree or law I was judged and condemned. Are you in such situation today? My God will reverse that irreversible irrespective of whatever it is and deliver you, for your enemies to be ashamed of their evil deeds. See verses 18-22
6. Finally, I want to encourage you no matter what you are going through right now, to know that yours will not be worst than that of Daniel who was thrown in the Lion’s Den to die, know that the same God who shut the mouth of the Lion, will shut the mouth of your enemies. The juicy aspect of this message is that every one of them that plotted to kill Daniel in the Lion’s den were all thrown in that same Lion’s den at the order of the King and the Lion’s feasted on them. My prayer for you today is, that same God that reversed the irreversible of Daniel and through the King Darius passed judgment on the enemies of Daniel, may he also reverse every irreversible of death in your life and family and also pass the same judgment on those who condemned you to death as he did for Daniel in Jesus name. Can I hear a loud Amen? Here is the decree that reversed the death decree by King Darius as follows in favour of Daniel:
a) May you prosper greatly
b) I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel
c) For he is the living God and he endures forever
d) His kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end
e) He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth.
f) He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions. So will all the blessings come upon you this day in Jesus name? See verses 23-27
7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God that will reverse every irreversible of death and restore life and all the blessings that came with the second decree upon Daniel in your life and family. Your Kingdom, Vision, Family, Business, Job, Career will never be destroyed and will have no end in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Daniel 6:1-27 New International Version (NIV)
Daniel in the Den of Lions
6 [a]It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”
6 So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever!7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. 8 Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” 9 So King Darius put the decree in writing.
10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him. 15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.” 16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” 17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep. 19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” 21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” 23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. 24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. 25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language in all the earth: “May you prosper greatly! 26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. “For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end. 27 He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”

BEHOLD, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH: IS THERE ANY THING TOO HARD FOR ME? THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD; BEHOLD, I WILL GIVE THIS CITY INTO THY HAND:
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE: FOR WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2015 IS: JEREMIAH 32:25-28 (KJV). Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “BEHOLD, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH: IS THERE ANY THING TOO HARD FOR ME? THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD; BEHOLD, I WILL GIVE THIS CITY INTO THY HAND”. I want to officially welcome my followers on the word of exhortation after my vacation for two weeks from July 1-14, 2015. I am excited about our teaching series for the month of July 2015 which is “REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE”. For those of you in our home Church in USA; I know you have been enjoying the teaching series on Sunday services and on Tuesdays Bible Studies. For the benefits of my friends and members on the social media I bring this teaching today. The first question most of our bible scholars will ask in this teaching series is what are those things that are classified as irreversible? And who is able to reverse the irreversible? Let me begin with the first question, the things that are classified as irreversible by humans are situations of life that are above human comprehensions or understanding like; Terminal diseases, death, Psychosis that medical science cannot be able to diagnose or treat, frustrating life conditions like barrenness, poverty, life disabilities without trace of the root cause, Challenges of life that has no end but consistently frustrates the individual; example getting married five times and divorcing five times, having a good degree or profession but not able to get a job or practice the profession, getting a good job and not able to keep the job, being fired from one company to the other, having or managing a good business but have nothing to show for it, Walking aimlessly without a vision. Remember that when a man has no vision he will always return to his past. Now lets look at those who are able to reverse those irreversible that was highlighted above; It might interest you to know that the only one who can reverse all irreversible is the Almighty God, and John 14:6 teaches us through the word of God that his son Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except through him. It means that without God and his son Jesus in your boat, you cannot reverse the irreversible. I hereby encourage you today to take God and Jesus along with you in what ever situation you are going through right now, so as to reverse the irreversible in your life. The power to reverse the irreversible is in your hands but you must acknowledge the power that supersedes all power in your life and worship him in truth and spirit. Is there anything too hard for God to do? The answer is “NO”. May God give you the wisdom to reverse all irreversible in your life Amen.
Read below: Jeremiah 32:25-28 King James Version (KJV)
25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, 27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? 28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JULY 12, 2015 IS GENESIS: 17-27 ABRAHAM’S IRREVERSIBLE COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION THAT LED TO HIM BEING FATHER OF MANY NATIONS:
ABRAHAM’S IRREVERSIBLE COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION THAT LED TO HIM BEING FATHER OF MANY NATIONS:
1. I want to begin this message with a question, do you know the only one who can promise and never fails irrespective of how long it takes? The answer to that question is the Covenant keeping and making God. Some Christians are impatient in waiting for Gods appointed time, and because of that miss a life time opportunity. Abram was ninety nine years without the blessing in his hands and he held on to that promise. Wait on the Lord. See verses 1-3
2. Do you know that when things get tougher with you, that is when God intervenes in your life to reverse the irreversible? God said to Abram, you will no longer bear the name of Abram because you are father of many nations, from this day henceforth your name will be Abraham. Some of you will say that God is to slow; some will say why it took him to long to fulfill the promise. My answer to you is that Gods time is the best. Hereby are the blessings of waiting released into Abram’s life for his obedience to God:
a) Name changed from Abram (Single) to Abraham (Many)
b) Father of Many Nations; bareness turned to fruitfulness & growth
c) He received the anointing for fruitfulness all the days of his life
d) He no longer becomes a single family, nations was made out of him
e) Kings that rules the world was made out of him
f) An everlasting Covenant was established between him and God
g) Generational blessings was released upon him and his descendants
h) The Sovereignty vowed to be their God till eternity. See verses 4-8
3. The exciting thing here is that God reversed every irreversible in the life of Abram and his generations unborn, and went further to make a covenant with him, what is this covenant? To Abram it was circumcision but to you, what is that thing the Lord is asking from you as a covenant to do for him that is too hard for you to release from your hands? But blame him for your misfortunes, I challenge you today to release whatever it is that God is asking from you to make an everlasting covenant with you, your seeds and him. See verses 9-14
4. I want you to know, if you do not know before, that God cannot make a covenant with a family and live anybody in there out especially when he wants to reverse the irreversible. After blessing Abraham he turned to Sarai his wife and said to her your name will no longer be Sarai but Sarah the mother of many nations, Kings will come from her and she will bear Abraham a son of destiny. In the eyes of both Abraham and Sarah in their new names it looks irreversible because they were mortals, but was it irreversible for God? The answer is “NO”. We all need to learn something from here, Abraham was concerned about God blessing Ishmael the child out of Sarah’s impatient through her maid but God said he will be blessed but Sarah will give birth to the destiny child for both of them. See verses 15-18
5. When the irreversible is reversed in your life, God speaks into your future and releases blessings that look impossible in the site of man into your life. He said to Abraham your wife will give birth to a son and his name will be called Isaac and I will establish my covenant with him. Take note here names of destiny children are ordained by God from heaven even before they were conceived or given birth to. No power or principalities even spiritual wickedness in high places can stop the coming of destiny children into this planet earth. Has God given you a name for your unborn child? If yes begin to speak that child into existence for your family for he/she has a purpose in life as ordained by God. I speak into every woman that has been called barren, to receive the anointing power of God to give birth to a destiny child or children in Jesus name say Amen. See verses 19-22
6. Finally, I want to encourage you to walk in obedience with God, try your best to do everything he asked you to do. Learn to hear from him and have personal relationship with him like Abraham had, and God reaches out to him to bless him when ever he is in need. I challenge you to do same like Abraham Today. Abraham's obedient stretched the hands of God to reverse the irreversible of barrenness for 100 years and opened great doors of blessings that have no end. It takes humility, obedience, dedication and commitment to God to connect to this kind of covenant blessings. Abraham circumcised everybody in his house including servants in the house to keep the covenant with God. It might interest you to know that Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised the same day irrespective of Abraham’s age. Walk in obedience with God. See verses 23-27
7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to enter into the plan of Gods covenant with you and your family, and receive the covenants blessings that comes with it so that you can reverse every irreversible in your life and family, and live a life of humility to celebrate God all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Genesis 17:1-27 (New International Version)
The Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty[a]; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”
3 Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c] for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8 The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac.[d] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, 25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day. 27 And every male in Abraham’s household, including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JULY 5, 2015 IS MARK 5:1-20: THE IRREVERSIBLE OF A DEMON-POSSESSED MAN REVERSED BY GODS POWER:
THE IRREVERSIBLE OF A DEMON-POSSESSED MAN REVERSED BY GODS POWER:
1. The word irreversible is holding so many folks in captivity in this generation, some use the word terminal disease, some use incurable infirmities, some use attacks of household enemies, while some use chained with ill luck, whichever one you are identified with, I speak into your life now that it can be reversed and must be reversed now as you hear or read this message. Just add the name of Jesus and command that demonic situation out of your life by using the word I reverse every irreversible in my life now. See verses 1-8
2. I want you to know that you are created in Gods image and his likeness see Genesis 1: 26-28 and believe that Jesus came to redeem you from all infirmities through his blood that was shed on the cross of Calvary to set you free from all irreversible. You can apply the same strategies Jesus applied to reverse the situation of the demonic-possessed man in your own situations. Hereby are Jesus strategies:
a) Jesus restored the man by first asking him of his name
b) Before you reverse, ask of the name of the person to heal
c) Be spiritually alert to address the spirit behind the captivity
d) Be sensitive to know the spirit by name and use it to command
e) Remember that you are not suppose to obey the demons but God
f) Jesus commanded the spirits out of the Man and drowned the spirits in the lake
See verses 9-12
3. The power of words in reversing the irreversible is in your mouth but you must understand that the words you speak are not yours, you do not know it but God, so when you are using the words to reverse any irreversible, do not think you are the one doing it, but know that is God making use of His words to set the captive free. The mystery of the Demonic-possessed Man was overblown by those tending the pigs in their farms that saw Jesus command the pigs to be drawn at the lake with the legions of fowl spirits possessing the man. And they unknowingly evangelized the good works of Jesus even to the countryside. You must exercise authority when doing any spiritual exercise to reverse the irreversible like Jesus did. See verses 13-14
4. It might interest you to know that when the people came to where Jesus was ministering and saw the Demon-possessed man well dressed and hearing the word of God like a normal human being, they were afraid and surprised at the same time because they believed that the man’s infirmity was irreversible and that no creature can heal him again like some of you thinking in your own situation. The ignorant among them asked Jesus to live their city just like some of you chase good things away from your land. I repeat to you this day that with God all things are possible. See verses 15-17
5. Finally, I want those of you out there who are like the doubting Thomas, to be warned and believe that nothing is irreversible. Also learn something here from the man that was healed, he appreciated what Jesus did for him and wanted to follow him as he entered into the boat, but Jesus also taught him something here, to go back to his people and show himself to them, so that his life will be a testimony to others that nothing is irreversible, and for him to do unto others as was done to him. May God give you the wisdom to reverse all irreversible in your life and family Amen. See verses 18-20
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to reverse every irreversible in your life and family, and live a life of testimonies to glorify Gods name all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen.
Mark 5:1-20 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man
5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[b] how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JUNE 28, 2015 IS REVELATION 1:1-20: JOHN’S VISION OF CHRIST FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD; I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST IN YOUR LIFE:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JUNE 28, 2015 IS REVELATION 1:1-20: JOHN’S VISION OF CHRIST FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD; I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST IN YOUR LIFE:
1. If you have never had an encounter with God or his son Jesus Christ, you will not be able to understand this vision of John about the revelation of Jesus Christ, and who you are, and the importance of ministering Angels in your Family. Do not take dreams, visions, and prophecies for granted because the time is near and prophecies and visions must be fulfilled. See verses 1-3
2. There is no better greetings for Godly families than grace and peace as Jesus wished us from the first day of our lives till the day we are call to glory, so that our families and homes will be successful because of that great price Jesus paid on the Cross of Calvary for you and I, so that we will be successful in our marriages, businesses, careers, and professions. See verses 4-5
3. It is important for you to know that Jesus freed you and your family, made you a kingdom and Priests (Royal Priesthood) to serve and honour him and his father in heaven, and opened your eyes to receive the revelation of his second coming, and also to acknowledge that He and His Father in heaven are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the end. If you are in their boat you have all you need in your life See verses 6-8
4. John’s vision of Jesus Christ has triggered of lots of debate or discussions by theologians, atheists, and Bible scholars but one thing they all fail to understand is the ability to have personal relationship with God. If you do not have personal relationship with God no matter how educated you are in theology or other professions, you will never be able to understand the revelations word of God, or be able to communicate with God effectively on one and one like John did in his encounter with Jesus. Have you ever been translated from your mortal body to have fellowship with the immortal God? If yes, Glory be to God. See verses 9-11
5. Many Christians on this planet earth will not experience what John experienced on earth where we live now, not because they have sinned or that they did not know God, but because they failed to turn around when they are supposed to turn. Moses turned at the burning bush and had an encounter with God; John turned, and was in the spirit and heard a loud voice that said to him write all that you see down for the seven churches. Have you wondered why you cannot hear from God? The answer is because you are not in the spirit, and do not want to change or turn and surrender totally to God, for grace and peace to be fulfilled in your life and your family, you must have a regular fellowships with God and his son Jesus Christ. See verses 12-16
6. Finally, permit me to ask; do you live in fear with your family? if yes, you are the one Jesus is reaching out to Today, he has been sending signals of fellowship to you but the enemy Satan has been distracting you not to hear the call, but he is placing his hands on you and saying to you right now FEAR NOT. You may say why? because it looks strange to you. Here are the reasons:
a.) He is the first and the last
b.) He is the Living one, the Everlasting Father
c.) He was dead and now He is Alive for ever and ever
d.) He holds the keys of Life and Hades
e.) The mystery of the seven stars represents the ministering Angels that ministers to you and I, while the seven lamp-stands represent the churches. Are you part of the church? Do the ministering Angels minister to you?
I challenge you to get closer to God and fellowships with him like John did and also write down whatever he reveals to you and use it to be a blessing to the Church of God. Amen. See 17-20
Revelation 1:1-20 New International Version (NIV)
Prologue
1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Greetings and Doxology
4 John,To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a]before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”[b]
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”[c]
So shall it be! Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
John’s Vision of Christ
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis,Philadelphia and Laodicea.”
12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,[d] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to receive visions from God, and know that Jesus is the first and the last in your life and your family, so hear him with your family in Jesus name Amen.

BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 10: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-6 (KJV).
BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 10: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-6 (KJV).
I want to encourage you to take time to read or study and digest the scriptures above because they are scriptures that deal explicitly with the marriage relationship. Partners are encouraged to read them carefully and prayerfully and then discuss them fully with each other. You must know that God instituted marriage and the enemy Satan is doing everything to destroy marriages, because if marriages are destroyed, the home is destroyed, the city is destroyed, and the nation is destroyed. That is why God provides remedies to crawling, sick and divided marriages because no one knows it better than God on how to make it excellent. We will look at the behaviors that destroy marriages and how to avoid them today. Hereby are some of the behaviors that destroys marriages; Impatient, Being Wicked, Envy, Selfish, Pride, Carelessness, Waywardness, Creating division in family, Always provoked for nothing, Evil minded, Taking joy in Sins, Hates the Truth etc. If you indulge in all or some of the listed above, repent now and ask your partner for forgiveness, and also pray to God to open all doors of repentance for you and your family. Replace those behaviors with Love, Long suffering, Kindness, Be contented with what you have, Embrace others, Walk in Humility, Be Just, Walk in Unity, Let nothing troubles you, Do Good to all humans, Take no joy in what is bad, Stand and rejoice on what is true and right at all times. May God guide and help you in Jesus name.
Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-6: Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 9: MALACHI 2:15-16 (KJV).
BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 9: MALACHI 2:15-16 (KJV).
There are some things in life that was instituted by God to be one that should not be divided or changed. Marriage is one of such Institutions that are not supposed to be broken or put asunder by man in the court of law. When Jesus was tempted by the Sadducees and Pharisees on divorce if it was legal to divorce as Moses permitted them to do so, he said to them because of your hardness of heart he allowed you to give the letter of divorce but from the beginning it was not so. God hates it.
Some people argue that divorce is not real or possible. But it certainly is real and possible to those with the hardness of heart. Some argue that otherwise God would have not told us not to do it! He would have said, “Man CANNOT separate” instead of “let no man separate.” It takes TWO people, with the grace and help of God, to make a marriage succeed. It only takes ONE person to destroy it. Of course, many marriages end in divorce because one spouse (often both spouses) begins to behave with such intense selfishness and self-centeredness that he or she emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and perhaps even physically “leaves” his or her spouse, destroying the covenant. But God has built us in such a way that divorce is always far more painful than we can imagine. Two people, who had once become one, are now being ripped apart. Of course, it is not just the obtaining of legal papers of divorcement that rips them apart; it is the sin that has been tearing apart the marriage—sometimes for years—on the part of one, or perhaps both, of the spouses. But the point is that since God hates divorce, and since divorce causes so much pain to so many people, a couple must commit to doing everything in their power to make sure it doesn’t happen. One person cannot do it alone. This is far more than just saying, “No matter what, we won’t get a divorce.” It means living in such a way and behaving in such a way with each other that divorce becomes unthinkable! Sadly, many couples experience “divorce” even though they remain legally married. And remember, it is not enough for one spouse to commit to make the marriage work. It takes two—with the Lord at the center. Preventing divorce is far more than a commitment not to do it. It is the result of a godly husband and a godly wife living with each other day in and day out according to the wisdom and commands of the Lord.
Read below: And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one that he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherousl

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JUNE 21, 2015 IS ROMANS: 1-25: OUR FAMILY RELEASED FROM THE LAW AND BOUND TO CHRIST IN MARRIAGE:
OUR FAMILY RELEASED FROM THE LAW AND BOUND TO CHRIST IN MARRIAGE:
1. It gives me great joy to compare the cause of law and the freedom through our Lord Jesus. The law comes with restrictions, pains, humiliations, ridicule, and limitation. In our marriage relationship, when we break the law of marriage we face the consequences of the law of marriage highlighted above knowingly or unknowingly. I feel excited to talk about the fruits and principles of a successful marriage which opens doors for all the benefits of true marriage relationship between a man and his own woman known as husbands and wives. When you walk in the world in your relationship, you are bound by the law which leads to death but when you walk in the spirit in your marriage relationship, you are released from the law and bound to life through Jesus Christ to life abundantly. See verses 1-6
2. Some of the major issues we human are dealing with on earth today in our institutions like marriage, offices, businesses, and Schools etc. are the issues of Laws and Sins. The law is there to guide us to do what is right and live a good life and at the same time open our eyes to what is wrong thereby given us the opportunity to choose between what is right or wrong. While sin is there to tempt us to do what is wrong so as to die because the soul that sinned shall die. What do we learn from this? Avoid sins in all your institutions as God commanded. See verses 7-12
3. Sometimes I begin to ask why God restricted Adam and Eve from eating the fruit of life and death or otherwise known as good and evil. If they have not been restricted from it, the serpent wouldn’t have tempted Eve to eat that fruit. So is the world we live in today. If we can take our eyes off from what is evil like it never existed, we will live a peaceful life with our partners, family and humanity at large. See verses 13-16
4. The problem most family have on this planet earth, that destroys peaceful homes beginning from the marriage relationships is the inability to resist sins, some say when I want to do good, I see myself doing what is evil or bad, some say when I want to be spiritual, I found myself living a worldly life thereby being unspiritual, what then is the cause of all this? The simple answer is being carried away by the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of live. If we trust God and keep his commandments, we will not be carried away by any of them. Read Proverbs 6:12-18 and see those things that the Almighty God said that he hate and the seventh of them he called an abomination and avoid all of the and live a peaceful life with your family. See verses 17-21
5. Finally I plead with you not to allow another law of the enemy Satan known as “SIN” to push you to do what you do not want to do, thereby dancing to the tune of sin and romancing with the devil. Learn how and when to say “NO” to the flesh and the enemy and say “YES” to Jesus and our father in heaven so as to enjoy a blessed, peaceful and glorious family as “A Part of the Family of God”. It is better to be a slave to the laws of Jesus Christ and God the father which gives life than to be a slave to sin which leads to death. Be wise and walk in the wisdom of God in all decisions. May God help you to build your home? See verses 22-25
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to be released from the law and be bound to Jesus Christ in your family as a part of the family of God in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Romans 7:1-25 (New International Version)
Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b] 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.

BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 6: 1 PETER 3:3-6
BIBLICAL FRUITS & PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE PART 6: 1 PETER 3:3-6 (KJV).
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
Most husbands appreciate wives who take care of their appearance and look their best. Most also appreciate wives who dress modestly and not in ways that tend to “entice” other men. But, as this passage points out, the kind of woman his wife is in her heart—that “gentle and quiet spirit”—is far more “precious in the sight of God” as well as in the sight of her husband. A Woman is not who she is because of what she puts on or the wealth she has acquired, neither because of her career or profession but because of her love for God and humanity, and her appearance in the site of God and Man. Are you clean and glamorous in the sight of man while dirty before God your creator and your husband? Think about this if you want to enjoy your marriage and correct your ways today.
