1 Samuel 16:6 MSG
When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, "Here he is! God's anointed!"

He was dead-wrong😱

*Eliab* wasn't the one, and neither was *Abinadab* . *Shammah* too looked like the one with the aroma of God's endorsement, but,

#Are will still blaming the Church?

Got several messages, comments and the likes from people who still have this belief that the Church should cease from praying and "diversify" into providing roads, stable electricity, good health care, etc

Well, for starters, the Church of

Christ cannot be held responsible for the failure of Government to provide basic, very basic amenities. Those ruling NIGERIA, from the federal level to the LG level, were either voted in or imposed on us by other means possible to do these things.

Elected officials the world over, have a minimum standard vis-a-vis citizen's expectations.

Therefore, the church cannot be held responsible for government's ineptitude.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for poor educational facilities, poor electricity, poor

roads, poor health care, poorly equipped Hospitals and dispensaries.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for the state of insecurity.

Many are quick to say, "with all our prayers, wat has changed?" Well, will all our prayers, God has shown so much mercy to this

country. It is our prayers and the mercies of God still upholding us inspite of how unpalatable the situation is.

We are quick to say, there are countries the world over doing well, who are not as prayerful as we are, yes, countries like China, Singapore, etc. But, we forget to

#The, God No Go Shame Us Slang"

I have often heard this in so many instances, "God No Go Shame Us..."

First thing first, God shames no one, and has never shamed anyone.

The only fellows or gang God ever public shamed was satan and his goons

Colossians 2v15 NIV
And having

disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.e (Col 2:15|NIV-)

Colossians 2:15 MSG
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets

Colossians 2:15 AMP
[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

It is not in God to shame anyone, rather, poor decisions, poor actions, poor

choices, sin, disobedience, bad association, man's wickedness towards another etc, are some of the stuffs that brings shame.

Sin, however, is the major culprit for a christian. While poor choices, decisions or actions could bring shame, they may not be categorized under sin.

These may have occurred, due to lack of proper or poor information etc

Now, back to the major culprit, SIN

James 1:15 MSG
"Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death."

Brethren, SIN GROWS. It starts with lustful

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,

1.
What is right about going to your boyfriend's house to cook his meals.

When I hear guys invite women to their houses to help them cook, I get irked. Without gainsaying, I get pissed because I feel like it's a play down on my maturity as an adult that I can't cook d food I eat

2.
While I was a bachelor & staying alone, I never had any girl come to my apartment to cook for me, and even when some offered to give their culinary services, I rejected it.

Though, that's personal.

3.
But my aim of writing this RANT is to remind a lot of men reading this post that, it is not your girlfriend's job to cook for you!

A lady said to me sometime ago, that her boyfriend slapped her because she was a bit behind schedule to come cook for him.

4.
Imagine the guts!

To slap a lady because she wasn't at your place on time to cook for you?

I keep wondering how women put up with all these rubbish in relationships. Honestly, if I were a woman, many men will avoid me. I will take nothing less than a sensible man.

5.
I've always said that any man who cannot cook as a bachelor is probably or likely to fit into this category. Any man who cannot do home chores is not ready for marriage.

Many men marry because of their inability to cook, wash and do home chores.

Whispering Enemies, the Bible calls them in Hebs 1v13b TPT

"Take your seat next to me at my right hand until I force your whispering enemies to be a rug under your feet.”

These are some of d most potentially hurtful people.

They whisper everytime you record any accomplishment.

They make a mockery of everything God does for you and try to water it down.

They believe, it shouldn't have been you.
They believe, it should have been them.

They abound in the workplace, Family circle, neighbourhood. Infact, they are everywhere.

They are not bold enough to

congratulate you when others are doing so. They are mortally pained and wounded because, God chose you above them
(Hebrew 1v 9 TPT -
For this reason, God, your God, has anointed you and poured out the oil of bliss on you
more than on any of your friends.”)

They are in the same "zip code" with Envy and jealousy

BUT;

They forgot one thing. God does not need their input when He wants to bless you and neither does He take into consideration their appraisal, approval or disapproval of you.

God says to tell you this morning;
"I will

*Isaiah 51:2b MSG*
... *but once I blessed him, he multiplied.*

This was the Lord talking about Abraham & Sarah.

*Note* -👇🏼
He said, "but once I blessed him, he multiplied".

*This is very profound.* 👇🏼
God's blessing, provokes multiplication.

We see the same sequence in👇🏼
*Matthew 14:19-20 KJV*
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, *He blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude

20] *And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that* *remained twelve baskets full* .

Just 5 loaves and 2 fishes were presented to Jesus to feed over 5k people. He blessed the bread & fish and the rest they say is history.
👇🏼
His blessing upon the

meagre food provoked multiplication and even had leftovers. Wow😱

His blessing provoked the multiplication. *Let that sink in*

👉🏼God bless your home.
👉🏼God bless your business.
👉🏼God bless your ministry.
👉🏼God bless you in your workplace.
👉🏼God bless the ground you walk on.👇🏼

#Do you know God reads "letters?"
1.
There are some things we often think are beneath God to bother Him with.

We assume some mundane stuffs are to small to bother Him with. We panic because, we believe, God shouldn't be bother with small, inconsequential stuffs

King Hezekiah

2.
once received a letter from a king with a history of destroying anything and anyone that caught his fancy.

The king was greatly feared by all. There was no exception. He had conquered all known powerful kingdoms, their kings and their gods.

The letter brought fear and

3.
trepidation upon king Hezekiah and his subjects.
It brought panic.
It was a joy killer. Even the bravest of men trembled.
The letter turned everything upside down.
Everything was now at a standstill.
Hezekiah and his subjects were under siege.
The king did not know what to do

4.
out of the confusion that arose, but, he knew where to go.

Hezekiah did the unthinkable. He took the letter to the altar of prayer and spread it before God.

It seemed ridiculous to do such a thing.
It looked like something a confused man would do.

5.
It looked laughable, but, he did it anyways.

2Kings 19:14-15,20 KJV
And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.
[15] And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said
