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 MAY 31, 2015 IS EPHESIANS 1:1-23: THE PRAISE, THANKSGIVING AND PRAYERS THAT BRINGS ALL BLESSINGS IN GODS FAMILY:
1. I want to begin this message with a word of praise to God for his loving kindness upon all creatures and above all for being a part of Gods family. Paul the Apostle of God understands the importance of praise to God and charged all saints to live a life of Praise to God Almighty through his son Jesus Christ who blessed us with all blessings. See verses 1-3
2. It is important for every Child of God to know that God chose you, called you, anointed you and sent you out to this planet earth to do what ever you are doing right now. Above all he adopted you as a son or daughter whichever you are through his son Jesus Christ so that you will fulfill your purpose in life because of his plan for your life as a member of Gods family. He sacrificed Jesus for us so that we will praise and glorify him in all areas of life as being part of Gods family through redemption in Christ for our salvation. See verses 4-7
3. It is a thing of Joy to give thanks to God for sending Jesus to release into our lives all spiritual, physical and financial blessings as follows:
a.) He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding
b.) He] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
c.) In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will
d.) in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
e.) And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit
f.) The Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession— to the praise of his glory. See verses 8-14
4. I want to use this medium today to challenge all Christians to start thanking God now if you have not been doing so before, and also if you have not been praying, begin to pray now because God has done so much for us through Jesus and you cannot afford to miss this blessings that are exclusively for those that are for Gods family, which means that you have to begin to praise God for being in Gods family and back it up with thanksgiving and prayers always. Remember to whom much is giving much is expected. I know that I can count on you receiving this word this day. See Verses 15-17
5. My prayer for you that are blessed to be in Gods family is to receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength. See verses 18-20
6. Finally I want you to know that when Christ sent Jesus to this planet earth to die, he gave the best he has for those of us for those of us that are “Part of the family of God”, and hereby are what Jesus earned for us through Salvation which we have on a platter of gold:
a.) We are far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
b.) And God placed all things under his “JESUS” feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which are you and I that are in the body of Christ.
c.) Take note here that Jesus body is the fullness of him who fills everything in every way for us “THE CHURCH”. See verses 21-23.
7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to praise God for all blessings in Gods family in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Ephesians 1:1-23 New International Version (NIV)
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
To God’s holy people in Ephesus,[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b]predestined us for adoption to son ship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who a deposit is guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession— to the praise of his glory.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

AND I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH THEM, THAT I WILL NOT TURN AWAY FROM THEM, TO DO THEM GOOD; BUT I WILL PUT MY FEAR IN THEIR HEARTS, THAT THEY SHALL NOT DEPART FROM ME
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF GODS GOODNESS AND GLORY: FOR WEDNESDAY MAY 27, 2015 IS: JEREMIAH 32:38-41 (KJV). Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “AND I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH THEM, THAT I WILL NOT TURN AWAY FROM THEM, TO DO THEM GOOD; BUT I WILL PUT MY FEAR IN THEIR HEARTS, THAT THEY SHALL NOT DEPART FROM ME”. It is interesting to note that when you connect to Gods goodness and glory, you will also enter into his plan for everlasting covenant. Know that you will become his people and he will become your God. You will also walk in his wisdom and all his goodness will pass before you. Some of you may ask, what is covenant? Covenant is a spiritual binding agreement between you and God that cannot be broken. As you all know a promise can be broken but covenant cannot be broken. To tell you how much God loves us, he took it to another level when we walk in his goodness, he opens the doors of everlasting covenant, that means that everything you desire in life, before you open your mouth to ask for it, is already in your hands. In addition to that, he also grants you access to his wisdom that will build you and opens doors for generational blessings. To crown it all where ever God plants you to live, work or carry out your business, you will rejoice always because he will allocate into your destiny there. Even when you come into a land that was barren, it will change to a fruitful land because of the everlasting covenant anointing upon your life. Even if come into a land of sorrow that has been defiled by evil men, because of Gods goodness upon your life, it will turn to a land of everlasting peace and joy. Take note that when you are into this covenant with God, no power, principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places or kingdom of darkness can have access to your life or take you out of Gods presence. I now ask; what are you waiting for? Connect to Gods goodness today and celebrate his goodness all the days of your life as you serve him in truth and in spirit. Be blessed.
Read below: Jeremiah 32:38-41 King James Version (KJV)
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 24, 2015 IS GENESIS 50:1-20: THE GOODNESS OF GOD THAT REASSURES, HEAL AND RESTORES:
THE GOODNESS OF GOD THAT REASSURES, HEAL AND RESTORES:
1. The goodness of God creates generational blessings and also opens doors for Gods glory even when it looks like all hope is lost. Jacobs love for Joseph and the glory of God upon his life made his son Joseph to bury him Jacob his father like a King, though in the land of the Egyptians on exile, but the Goodness of God opened doors for Joseph to bury his father in the tomb of his fathers Abraham and Isaac in Canaan. Pharaoh granted the request of Joseph because of the goodness of God upon his life. See verses 1-6
2. It might interest you to know that there is nothing God cannot do no matter how difficult it is, provided that the glory of God and his goodness is upon your life. Take note here that Jacob has mourned the death of Joseph and never believed that he will see him again, not to talk of giving him a befitting burial, but the goodness of God turned all that around and the same Child he sowed coat of many colours for, and loved was alive as a Minister in Egypt and the one to give him a Kingly burial. Is there something you have lost that may have caused you great pain? If yes hold on to Gods goodness for he will reverse the irreversible for you. Do not give up hope, but wait on the Lord, for your day of Joy will come. See verses 7-10
3. It is interesting to note that at the threshing floor of Atad near the Jordan, Joseph observed seven days mourning period for his father Jacob with his high powered delegation entourage from Egypt where he was supposed to be a slave but the Goodness of God turned all that around for him to be the second in command next to the Pharaoh of Egypt the king of the land and ruler of the worlds first civilization then. When the Canaanites saw it, “they said that the Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning”. That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim, So Jacob’s sons did as their father has commanded them to do concerning his burial. See verses 11-12
4. They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought, along with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite. This proved that whoever walks in the goodness of God like Joseph, the Lord will surprise he/her beyond their imaginations. It also means that when you find favor in the sight of God, you can be celebrated where ever you are like the owner of the Land. After burying their father they returned to Egypt with the glory of God. See verses 13-14
5. It is very important to have a good heart irrespective of what anybody may have done to you to forgive and forget so as to walk in the Goodness of God. The brothers of Joseph meant evil for him but God turned it to good, that is why you need not to fight the battle that belong to God. Joseph brothers thought he will pay them back with their own coins after their father’s death, but rather Joseph reassured them and asked them to allow the past to remain the past, but did not fail to tell them that what they meant evil to him God turned it to good that they may see this day and that many lives be saved. You evil doers out there give up your evil ways and begin today to correct your ways and walk in the goodness of God. See verses 15-20.
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to walk in the Goodness of God that reassures, heals, restores and celebrates in Jesus name Amen.
Genesis 50:1-20 New International Version (NIV)
50 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him. 2 Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him, 3 taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
4 When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, 5 ‘My father made me swear an oath and said, “I am about to die; bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.’”
6 Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt— 8 besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.9 Chariots and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.
10 When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father. 11 When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.” That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]
12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them: 13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite. 14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

THAT THEY DO GOOD, THAT THEY BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS, READY TO DISTRIBUTE, WILLING TO COMMUNICATE; THAT THEY MAY LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF GODS GOODNESS AND GLORY: FOR THURSDAY MAY 21, 2015 IS: 1 TIMOTHY 6:17-20 (KJV). “THAT THEY DO GOOD, THAT THEY BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS, READY TO DISTRIBUTE, WILLING TO COMMUNICATE; THAT THEY MAY LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE”. It might interest you to know that for you to enter into Gods plan for Goodness and Glory; you just have to make some sacrifices to others who are not your family members or friends. Many of us have failed ourselves and God in life because we are carried away by our family members and close friends, and for that do not care if any other person exists on earth. For those of you who are rich out there and only your family and friends enjoy your wealth and riches, beware the clock is tickling, correct your ways now and enter into Gods plan for Goodness and Glory by extending hands to those you do not have relationships with, with special reference to the needy, physically challenged persons or persons with disabilities of whom are crying out to God for you to step to step in the gap on their behalf. Remember that no labor of faith and love goes unrewarded from our father in heaven. When you take the place of God in the lives of the needy, God takes your place in your areas of need, and make his goodness to pass before you. To be rich in good works is one of the things that open the doors of glory of God in your life, and when the doors are open, God will show you his glory beyond your imaginations. It also opens doors of divine health and longevity, all in the benefit package of being rich in good works. Please do not listen to side talks, be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God. Keep that which is trusted and committed in your hands by giving out to the needy to please the Almighty God who gave it to you in the first instance. Avoid profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called to deceive the little minded to live in greed and selfishness. Be generous, pure in heart and walk in love always to inherit the Goodness of God and his Glory.
Read below: 1 Timothy 6:17-20 King James Version (KJV)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 17, 2015 IS LUKE 21:1-27: THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, SIGNS OF THE END TIMES AND GODS GLORY:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 17, 2015 IS LUKE 21:1-27: THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, SIGNS OF THE END TIMES AND GODS GLORY:
1. If you desire Gods glory in your life, there are principles you cannot avoid to apply in your life, which includes spiritual, financial and physical matters. This principle has to do with sowing of seeds because while the earth remains seed time and harvests will never cease. The example of the poor widow giving everything she had for the work of the Kingdom of God is evidence that validates her love for the things of the Kingdom and God. The reward of such act was testified of by Jesus Christ that she gave more than everybody, and will in turn receive the glory of God more than all in the temple. See verses 1-4
2. Be informed that before the glory of God must come down, destruction of the things that will hinder the glory of God must take place, those things that have to do with the signs of the end times as follows like Jesus said to his disciples:
a.) Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said
b.) As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”
c.) His disciples said “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
d.) He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.
e.) Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. Like ISIS, Al SHABAB, BOKO HARAM, Voice of all fake Prophets and their disciples. Beware!!
f.) These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away
g.) Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
h.) There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
i.) But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.
j.) And so you will bear testimony to me. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves
k.) For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
l.) Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life
m.) When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.
n.) For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people
o.) They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
p.) There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. See verses 5-26
3. After the Saga of pains, sorrow, wailing, weeping, gnashing of teeth, killing, murder, and destructions of the end times, those who walked and lived in righteousness and holiness will live to see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory and will reign with him in his glory, honor and power in his Kingdom. See verse 27.
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to be among those that will reign with Jesus Christ in his glory, power, might, greatness and inherit the Kingdom of God in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Luke 21:1-27 New International Version (NIV)
The Widow’s Offering
21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times
5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”
7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me. 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.19 Stand firm, and you will win life.
20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

SO THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND BROUGHT ME INTO THE INNER COURT; AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE
LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF GODS GOODNESS AND GLORY: FOR FRIDAY MAY 14, 2015 IS: EZEKIEL 43:1-5 (KJV). “SO THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND BROUGHT ME INTO THE INNER COURT; AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE”. The greatest encounter or life time experience any true and dedicated child of God will have is to behold the glory of God. Moses, the Man defined by God as the meekest Man that ever lived on this planet earth had series of encounters with God, and in each of the encounters he experienced the glory of God coming down to him. Have you ever had an encounter with God? Have you experienced his presence? Have you beholds his glory? He said to Moses when he asked for his glory, “that he will make all his goodness to pass before him” and went further to tell him that he will show favor to which he will show favor and have mercy to which he will have mercy. This means that if you connect to Gods glory, his mercy, favor, goodness will be added unto you as extras. Most of you following this teaching will now ask what I will do to connect to Gods glory.
A. You must enter into his gates with thanksgiving
B. You must open your heart to receive from the Holy Spirit
C. You must free your heart from filthiness
D. You must make out time for God
E. Your spiritual eyes, ears, and mouth to speak must be active
F. You must learn how to walk in the waters
G. You must understand the pillar of cloud and fire direction
H. Your discernment abilities on visions/revelations must be active
I. You must know how to enjoy the glory of God through dialogue
Read below: Ezekiel 43:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
43 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 10, 2015 IS MATTHEW 5:1-29: GODS GOODNESS AND GLORY IN US AS SALT & LIGHT OF THE WORLD:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 10, 2015 IS MATTHEW 5:1-29: GODS GOODNESS AND GLORY IN US AS SALT & LIGHT OF THE WORLD:DEDICATED TO ALL MOTHERS ON THIS 2015 MOTHERS DAY.
1. I want to begin this message by highlighting the importance of Gods Goodness and Glory that empowers you to be on the mountain from time to time to get revelation knowledge from God to teach the saints given to you by God and to shepherd them. Jesus proved this to his disciples on the Sermon on the Mount, where he revealed everything about the journey of life, Gods glory and your walk with God and humanity on the Beatitudes. See verses 1-2
2. The beatitudes were words of Gods glory and Goodness to empower all believers to be who God has created us to be, and also to know that Good times and bad times has nothing to do with what God has prepared for you, because they are but Seasons and the come and go. Your life situation today can turn to Gods glory tomorrow as follows:
a.) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. b.) Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
c.) Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
d.) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
e.) Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
f.) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
g.) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
h.) Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
i.) Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
See verses 3-12
3. Jesus took his teaching to another level when he told the disciples and the crowd present that they are:-
a) The are the salt of the earth
b) But what of if that salt looses its taste it has no value or use again
c) You are the light of the world, a town built on a hill that is visible
d) Your light should shine wherever you go to glorify your father (God)
e) Your light shines with your good deeds (which is the goodness of God in you) through humanitarian works and services to God
See verses 13-16
4. I want to stress the importance of the law to you and its fulfilment in your life with your family; I have noticed that so many believers do not understand the importance of the law, nor have adequate knowledge of it. To possess your possessions through the Goodness of God that will turn you into a celebrity, you must teach this word about the kingdom of God and practice what you teach. Many Christians misinterprets the Bible by thinking that Jesus came to abolish the law because of his teaching about love, but he came to fulfil the law. Get this knowledge and walk in Gods glory, because Jesus proved it on the cross of Calvary. He did not come to abolish the law, because the law will always be there to guide us. He showed us Gods Goodness and Glory. See verses 17-20
4. Be informed that the Old Testament is still the law of God which was given to Moses for us; some folks are carried away like the old testament is not the law of God but only the New Testament. I tell you this day that the Ten Commandments are the laws of God for us. I am referencing here “Thou shall not commit murder or kill”; Many of us think it is only when we use gun, poison or knife to kill that is when we have committed murder, here you are wrong again, anything through your act of wickedness, foolishness, laxity, stupidity etc that caused another persons life is murder and you will face murder judgement before God. Be warned, settle disputes as quickly as possible and walk in the love of God at all times and not hatred. See verses 21-26
5. Like I mentioned earlier there is no law that is too big or too small, when you err in one you err in all. Take for example “Thou shall not commit Adultery”, it does not mean when you sleep with another person’s wife or husband only, but it also include looking at him/her lustfully. I advise you to walk in righteousness and holiness so that your eyes or body will not lead you to hell fire. See verse 27
6. Finally statistics has proved that most Christians take so many things for granted, and some of these things we take for granted leads us to sin which is “separation from God” and we allow ourselves to be carried away by the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life, which I will be highlighting the consequences as follows below:
a) If you divorce your wife or husband you make them to commit adultery and if you do not give them divorce certificate, anyone who keeps them in the house or marries them commits adultery
b) Do not make an oath you cannot fulfil
c) Do not swear by heaven, earth, or anything
d) Learn to say “YES” or “NO” in all matters and that is it, to be free
e) Anything short from the listed above that will make you to do otherwise is from the devil to rob you of your possessions in God and hinder you from the kingdom of God. See verses 28-29
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to walk Gods Goodness and to ask him to show you his glory in Jesus name Amen.
Read below: Matthew 5:1-29 New International Version (NIV)
Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Murder
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a]and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 3, 2015 IS JOHN 17:1-26 (NIV): THE PRAYERS THAT OPENS DOORS OF GOODNESS & GLORY:
OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 3, 2015 IS JOHN 17:1-26 (NIV): THE PRAYERS THAT OPENS DOORS OF GOODNESS & GLORY:
1. The message of the Goodness of God and his Glory will not be complete without the prayers of our Lord Jesus Christ, who stepped in the gap to intercede for us to the father in heaven to inherit the goodness and glory of God. Jesus held the Almighty God accountable to his word to reconcile us back to him and set us free from the curse of law to enter into the glory of God. See verses 1-5
2. The power of prayer can change anything and will open heaven for the glory of God to come down and his goodness to come upon the one he has given to his only begotten son Jesus. Jesus never stopped interceding for us through his father in heaven as follows:
a) I have revealed you [to those whom you gave me out of the world
b) They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed you
c) Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you
d) For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them
e) They knew that I came from you and they believed you sent me
f) I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours
g) All I have is yours, and all you have is mine
h) And glory has come to me through them.
i) I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world
j) I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me
k) While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe
l) I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
m) For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. See verses 6-19.
3. Please see the prayers of Jesus for you, and think about your fellow humans and pray the same way; “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one - I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. See verses 20-26
Read below: John 17:1-26 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Prays to Be Glorified
17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 “I have revealed you[a] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved themeven as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing Power for the doors of Gods goodness and glory in Jesus name Amen.
