From my Church mind

A SHORT EXHORTATION

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED? Ps. 109:21-31

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. D victim had been listed in fair condition prior to

#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

Anytime God is involved..

Of a truth, everytime d Almighty God steps in, d outcome is predictable. Here I am studying once again, d book of Exo 14....it must have been a time of fear & trepidation for d israelites. they were indeed stuck
b/w d red sea & Pharaoh's merciless army

There was obviously no way of escape. The predictable end of that situation was either death for the Israelites or a journey back into slavery. Unknown to anyone at that time, God was setting the stage up to display His awesomeness & power again. Pharaoh must have felt real good

Having the advantage, but, he could only see as "far" as his eyes could see.
He thought to himself, "I have closed them in...
Exo 14:3 "Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are lost; they're confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
And here was God laughing there in heaven

Seeing how a mere man was acting like the aloha & omega.
The pressure was now in Moses to do something...only God knows what was going thru Moses' mind at that time, & while he was waiting in God, he heard God speaking again in

"don't wait in Me anymore, Move.. the deed is done."
Exodus 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again.
What reassuring words

Have you prayed at least 5mins for NIGERIA today?
It's the least we can all do.

Psalms 83:17 MSG
Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.

Wickedness will no longer reign in NIGERIA.

And to all perpetuating and sponsoring bloodshed, stealing

from our common wealth, Father, bring them to the end of their ropes.

Break the pride of their power Lord.

Leviticus 26:19-21 KJV
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

#Let their entire strength be continually

spent in vain.

[20] And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. .

#With your help, leaders will rule well.

Prov 8:15 MSG
With my help, leaders rule, & lawmakers legislate fairly;

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?

You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see..

This is a SHORT EXHORTATION

Let me start with this Mantra from Guinness Nigeria Ltd.

They have this brand of stout, and at the end of the advert, I usually hear these words..."You are made for more..."

2.
Yes, we are all indeed made for more, but, sadly, many never attain unto what God has called them to be, either through spiritual laziness, ignorance, nonchalance etc.

Many have allowed their background keep their "backs" perpetually on the ground. In the beginning,

3.
it was not meant to be so.

You see, You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see. You are even more than what you see. There is always more.

While Pastoring at the RCCG many years ago, I heard these words by the General Overseer, Pst. E.A. Adeboye, over a zillion

4.
times.. "I have not even scratched the surface..".

Each time he reached what we all considered to be a major milestone, he would be quick to tell us, "I have not even started".

I recall the inconceivable idea of gathering over
6m people at lekki '98 Holy Ghost service.

5.
It was crazy at the beginning and many were full of unbelief at the time, but, the rest, they say is history. CNN even confirmed we were over 6m that gathered at lekki.
Fast forward to when the RCCG built the largest camp ground auditorium in the world, measuring 3km by 3km,

#Just two questions for you before you go on to the next page....

-When was the last time you made a conscious and consistent effort in checking your spiritual gauge?

-Have you been intentionally monitoring your spiritual life even in and with your busy schedule?

You will

however agree that most of us make very conscious efforts monitoring almost every other thing in life, but our spiritual 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,

we monitor the temperature gauge on the dashboard of our cars, monitor and gauge the air in our tyres.

We monitor virtually everything and take action(s) where necessary to ensure things go on smoothly.

These

action(s) gives us great satisfaction, yet, the most important things are left unmonitored.

Our spiritual gauge may have been reading zero for a longtime unattended to.

Our walk with God may have been crooked, yet little or no attention has been paid to this....

Our desire to

study the Word may have been on the decline for as long as possible because of our seemingly important busy schedules.

Prayer meter keeps dropping daily.

Fellowship with God is now a quickie, done only when convenient and at times during rush hour in the bathroom, toilet or

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)

Join me if you can, and if
