Really don't know how to describe this foolish text from an online loan merchant.?.

They sent me this annoying text just now.?

"Debtor with name xxxxxxxx 08162126479 who used you as a referee to get a loan, has been acting fraudulent with a repayment and is hereby wanted by

the company's taskforce. please do inform him that failure to make payment of the loan will result in arrest, and a litigation will be filed against him."

The fellow USED ME as a REFEREE and I am unaware of being USED..

The debtor, I don't even know, probably a random Facebook

friend. I struck out his name, but deliberately left his number for him to see.

This is what you get when you decide to operate with foolishness as one of your core values.

Why I should be involved in loan recovery is what I find extremely difficult to comprehend.

This New Week...

Eze 34:15 MSG
"'Therefore, God, the Master, says: *I myself am stepping in* & making things right.

❤️I love that part, "I myself, am stepping in."

👉🏼When God says, He Himself is stepping in, then, something never before seen is about to happen

👉🏼
He is about to give that situation a complete "KNOCKOUT"

👉🏼IN *Exo 14:13 KJV
And Moses said unto d pple, Fear ye not, stand still, & see d salvation of d Lord, which he will shew to u to day: *for d Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever

When God Himself takes on a situation, that situation will never be seen again.
👇🏼
May God Himself step 🐾 into that *long standing battle, seasonal battle and awaiting battle* and give a permanent solution to their harassment in Jesus name.

Are you ready for the DAY 2 Edition?

3 days of Praying in the Spirit for 1hr
(4am-5am/5am-6am/6am-7am. IN YOUR PRIVATE CLOSET)

AUG 1st-3rd

*Theme for Day* 2-(Tomorrow morning, Aug 2nd) IS GOD HAS A SURPRISE FOR YOU

The day before Samuel was to meet Saul,
Kindly RT

God had a private discussion with him (Samuel) about this unknown young man (Saul)

IN;

1 Samuel 9:15 MSG
The very day before, God had confided in Samuel

1 Samuel 9:16 MSG
"This time tomorrow, I'm sending a man from the land of Benjamin to meet you. You're to anoint him as

prince over my people Israel.

SAMUEL was already waiting for Saul on the APPOINTED DAY, which was the next day. He positioned himself at a strategic position.

1 Samuel 9:17 MSG
The moment Samuel laid eyes on Saul, God said, "He's the one, the man I told you about.

God is

confiding in Great men and women. He's told them what to do.

You may not know them, but, they now know you. Don't worry about a thing. They will know it's you, immediately they lay eyes on you.

Encourage others, friends, family members to join in too

A SHORT EXHORTATION

They wanted to make sure He remained dead, but...

Matthew 27:63 MSG
They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.'

Matthew 27:64 MSG
We've got to get that tomb sealed until the

third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."

Matthew 27:65 MSG
Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can."

Matthew 27:66 MSG
So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.

Men were assigned to the tomb Jesus was buried. They were not mere men...

they were trained soldiers. They wanted to make sure He remained dead.

His adversaries had so much hatred for him, yet, they feared every word He spoke about resurrecting again on the third day.

Even if He arose, He would not be able to get out of the tomb, they said to

themselves, but, they were soooo wrong. His purpose must be accomplished.

I don't know what or who has been assigned to keep you down.

Keep you down from achieving your purpose.

Jesus broke through. You will break through that hindrance.

They could not keep Jesus from coming

Prayer & Intercession, tonight@8pm

Brethren, we all need a connection.

There are no self-made men or women.

Everyone was helped.

It was connection that got Joseph into the palace.

It was connection that got David into the palace

God used "mere servants" in the palace.

He can use anyone.

Daniel 1:3 KJV
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

Ashpenaz was a master servant In the king's palace.

He represents men that are

strategically positioned.

1. Ashpenaz, was a eunuch and a scout too
2 . He had access to the corridors of power.
3. He had the king's ears.
4. His job was to identify talents, groom talents and then, open doors for them.
5. If you found favour in the eyes of Ashpenaz, you were

almost 100% certain, you will find favour before the king.
6. Ashpenaz's are major players.
7. Gifts and callings aren't enough, your need a SAMUEL, an ASHPENAZ.
8. You will meet your Ashpenaz and your Samuel this week
9. . Some have been playing at the rung of the ladder,

because, there was no man to connect them. (1 Samuel 9:17 The moment Samuel laid eyes on Saul...)

God will bring people into your life that will bring you into the palace

God will bring people into your space, that will turn your life around.

God will do it.
They may even look

#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?

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

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED
📌
You see, With God, keeping our fingers crossed connotes probability.

God doesn't make predictions. He makes promises and He keeps them. We must believe in order to receive.

Habakkuk 2v3 AMP
For the vision is yet for AN APPOINTED TIME and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it, because it will SURELY come; it will not be behindhand on ITS APPOINTED DAY.

3.
I deliberately changed some very key words in the passage to CAPITAL LETTERS to really drive home what God requires.

1. AN APPOINTED TIME.
Yes, there is an APPOINTED TIME. It may look like your "time" has passed in your eyes and in the eyes of everyone around you,

4.
but, the truth is, who set the time, you or God?
Time may have passed, but, your SET TIME has not.

2. IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT.
God's word neither deceives nor disappoint.
📌
Joshua 21:45 MSG
Not one word failed from all d good words God spoke to the house of Israel

5.
Everything came out right.

At your SET TIME, everything will come out right. All the discouraging stuffs you are seeing now are all working for your good. You will see clearly at the end.

3. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it,

*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.👇🏼
