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,

#Shouldn't you rather thank God first, than start with Prayer Points?

God frowns at ingratitude.

Make no mistakes, no one makes progress with ingratitude

The passage below is proof that God frowns at it👇🏼

2.
Luke 17:16 MSG
He kneeled at Jesus' feet, so grateful. He couldn't thank him enough - and he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:17 Jesus said, "Were not 10 healed? Where are d 9?

V17 is the PUNCHLINE.
Yes, to many, d New Year is just like any other day & to others, it's a special time.

3.
Be that as it may, it would be a great deed to start with Thanksgiving and then follow-up with directions for the year.

*Let me tell you what I do daily.

When I wake up each morning, I am deliberate about Thanksgiving. I thank God for at least One Hour without interrupting

4.
the session with Prayer Points. After the One Hour Thanksgiving Session, I can then switch to prayer points etc.

God has never stopped being good, we've just stopped being grateful.

Thanksgiving never cease because, blessings never cease

You must realize that Ingratitude

5.
stinks and It is easily noticed & conspicuous. It makes the one who is behind your smile to withdraw.

It's been God through the years and Apostle Paul wrote in
Acts 26v22a GNB
But to this very day I have been helped by God.

Still on this lateness issue on wedding day.

I recall sometime in 2013 or there about, on my way to Sango-OTa to conduct a wedding slated for 10am, I had left Abeokuta, where I was and still resident at 7am for Sango-Ota which is just about 1hr 30mins drive. At 9.30am,

I was not even near my destination. What I'm I going to do all decked up in an expensive suit, white shirt and a bow tie to match, I asked myself..."I don't arrive late for ministry assignment I said... it's still a guiding rule for me.

Without much ado, I asked my wife to get behind the wheels while I hopped on a bike. To cut the long story short, I got to the church at exactly 9.55am.

I had pastored the intending couple for about 4 years and they very well knew I was a stickler to time, particularly,

"church runs."

During counselling sessions, the intending couple had been reminded over and over again not to come late to the church on their wedding day, but alas, one of them came late. (You guessed right)

I got to the church and met the groom who was at this time on the

talking to his wife angrily.

To cut the long story short, at the strike of 10am, I gave instructions that the service should commence.

We proceeded accordingly and just at the moment I asked, "who brings in the bride?" I saw the bride running in at 10.35am into the church, wow,

Your Excellency Sir.
Red flag 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

A blessed morning to you.

This is a clarion call to help curb or infact eradicate the sale of strong alcoholic drinks at the Asero Stadium / Trailer park

It's been over a year some of us last

went to that Asero Stadium for some Prayer Walk. We stopped because of the recklessness of the trailer drivers within the stadium. This is further exercebated by the daily consumption of Alcoholic drinks as early as 7am at different shops within the premises.

Was there again this morning for a personal Prayer Walk, hoping things would have been better after a year's absence, alas, there are even more shops selling sachet alcoholic drinks. I had to discretely take a shot of one of the shops.

I once had a drunk trailer driver

blabbing under the influence of these strong drinks, that when he is high on "DOUBLE SIM", (Indian hemp soaked in ogogoro overnight ), human being look like cockroaches, hence they don't feel anything crushing them.

It has become a menace. I do not know if there is a law

banning the sale of strong drinks at garages, if there is none, I would like to crave your Indulgence in making it happen sir.

I used to lead a group of 30-40 people every 2nd Saturday of the month on a Prayer Walk within the same premises where the Stadium is, but, had to stop

A LONG EXHORTATION

THEME - What if...

Woke up this morning with a puzzling question in my spirit. Dint pay much attention to it, but, as I got out of bed to begin my morning & daily drill of 60mins-90mins of Thanksgiving, that question again interrupted my thoughts 💬.

2.
The question was just packaged in two words....WHAT IF?

Before I could process the thoughts, a barrage of other questions began to roll in, and then, I knew I had to UP my game in my daily Thanksgiving drill.

You see, I do this Thanksgiving "drill" every morning before I

3.
progress to praying in the spirit and then in my understanding and with relevant bible passages. (Thanksgiving is key to my relationship with God, because, I Know this for sure...THE UNGRATEFUL CARRIES A MARK OF RESENTMENT)

NOW;

4.
What if you woke up this morning and you began to "knock" on the gates of heaven, and as you did, an angel appeared and told you, "hey, sorry bro/sis, God is still resting. He had a busy day yesterday, and cannot attend to anyone until 4pm...")

5.
What if you knocked on heaven's gate and was denied access because, the accuser of the brethren just used his reggae to spoil your blues the previous night

What if you needed to pour out libations before seeing God?

#With God, you have nothing to lose

You see, when it's God's war, the battle strategies always look ridiculous. Seasoned Generals would argue against it. They will point out the foolhardiness of applying the strategy.

"This is ridiculous. Are you insane?

This is war and not child's play"

Many onlookers would murmur the same sentiments.

When it's God's war, you cannot comprehend it. The only thing you can possibly predict, is the outcome.

2 Chronicles 20:15b MSG
This is God's war, not yours,

God said to king Jehoshaphat when three kings united against him. All the king needed to do, was get the worshippers ahead of the soldiers and all, in one accord begin to praise and thank God.

That was it.
A battle strategy indeed. They dint have to lift a finger. God laid

ambushment against the three kings.

2 Chronicles 20:17 MSG
You won't have to lift a hand in this battle;

When the Israelites were delivered from Egypt and the shackles of slavery, they were caught between pharaoh's merciless army & the mighty redsea.

They dint have to lift a finger. God said, "Stand still, and see me in action. The rest they say, is history.

When God briefed Joshua on how to penetrate the fortress of Jericho, without a doubt, I believe Joshua must have said to God, "can You please repeat what You just said?

*Acts 9:40 MSG*
Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."
👇🏼
It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.
👇🏼
There is tremendous power backing up the

Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .

👉🏼Peter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..

👉🏼 Ezekiel spoke to very dry bones & the bones were restored &

eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )

👉🏼With Elijah's word, the impossible happened. The sunk iron axe-head floated from the bottom of the river, while the wooden handle sank.

👉🏼By the spoken Word of Jesus, a gold coin was found in

the mouth of a fish to pay tax

👉🏼By His spoken Word directly to Lazarus, He commanded him to come forth, and, he who had been dead for four days came back to life.
👇🏼
Here's the catch...God has exalted His Word even above His name & He backs it up with His integrity.💪🏻

*Speak directly to;*
👉🏼Your business
👉🏼Your marriage
👉🏼Your health
👉🏼Your FINANCES
👉🏼Your Womb
👉🏼Speak to every dead, dying, crawling or confusing. You can even call forth those things that be not as if they were.
👇🏼
Today, as you speak directly, you will see a tangible

So true what the Bible says..

Proverbs 28:12b NKJV
...But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

Everyone seem to be in hiding, Killers and their sponsors seem to be on a killing spree and the nation looks helpless. Not anymore in Jesus name.

This is what God says;

Jeremiah 48v28 MSG
"Leave town! Leave! Look for a home in the cliffs...(whether they are foreign killers or locally sponsored killers, the Lord says, "leave town")

Jeremiah 50:25 KJV
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: (

The Lord has opened His armoury)

They will bare the wrath of God.

They have sown wind.

Hosea 8:7 KJV
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:

Let all those sponsoring terror, bloodshed, banditry, kidnapping reap the whirlwind of God

Zech 10:6b MSG

Because I am their very own God, I'll do what needs to be done for them.

God will do whatever needs to be done in this country.

We have a lot to pray about. For our nation and for ourselves, this Sunday night at 8pm. (Live on Facebook and Instagram)

#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

One thing we are all agreed on, is that insecurity does not favour a mass majority of the populace, save for those benefitting from it.

As part of the majority, we MUST all be concerned about peace in our land. Nothing thrives, flourishes or blossoms in times of crises...

If

only we can all spare at least 5mins to pray for our nation...

To those benefitting from insecurity; God says..

Nahum 2:13 MSG
"Assyria, I'm your enemy," says God-of-the-Angel-Armies. "I'll torch your chariots. They'll go up in smoke. 'Lion Country' will be strewn with

carcasses. The war business is over - you're out of work: You'll have no more wars to report, No more victories to announce. You're out of war work forever."

And for our nation, we pray;
Psalms 107:7 MSG
He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good
