God's Charge 1 Zechariah 7:9 MSG [9] Well, the message hasn't changed. GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies said then and says now: "'Treat one another justly. Love your neighbors. Be compassionate with each other. Hello beloved! There is nothing new in the charge of God to us his children. God is a God of love and He want us all to show His kind of love to everyone without discrimination nor selection. There are three things here namely; we should 1) act and deal JUSTLY 2) LOVE 3) be COMPASSIONATE Beloved, are you fulfilling these charges or are you guilty like others? There is nothing God want from us but to Love in His way. Love those that hate and despise you. You love will either correct them or will become a coal of fore on them thereby killing them if they fail to repent. Beloved pray that God will help you to have His kind of love and Heart. With His kind of love ad Heart, you can act and deal justly, be compassionate and love all even those that make themselv...

The Race Of Life Hebrews 12:1-4 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 1 Corinthians 9:24 - Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. The verse above speaks of the physical race. But in the race of life, almost everybody is a winner in as far as he/she can abide by the rules of the game. "So run that you may obtain" means it is possible to run in vain. You have run in vain if you are successful but cannot reap all the benefits of your success. This shall not be our portion. Therefore, we should do whatsoever we can do within our limit to ensure that we are not one of those that will be disqualified after running the race of life.

Watch Your Actions 2 Kings 21:1-9 1 Corinthians 6:7-12 Quite a number of people extort in different ways under different guises. The trader who sells at over 200 percent profit, the employer who ignores paying overtime allowances to his workers, the workers who come late and sleep on duty, the pastor who arm-twist his members and force them to give,the landlord who increases his house rent arbitrary and so on and so forth. All these are in the Church and hope to make Heaven at last. Is it possible? Extortion is one of the sins that will get you disqualified for Heaven. This is why you must not take things for granted. Pray for the grace to walk always in accordance with the will of God. Shalom! >> The Hidden Manna by Christ's Chosen Church of God International.

FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE 1 Bible text: Matt 25:14-27 "WEALTH is the product of man's capacity to think". Everyone is born naked but nobody was born empty. Nobody has everything but we all have something, how we manage what we have financially is what determine if we are financially intelligent or not. The amount that means nothing in the hand of a spender means a lot in the hand of an investor. The financial intelligence factor is the state of mind that comes being a certain way and doing certain things that attract wealth and abundance into your life. The big different between those that are financially intelligent and those that are not is in their mentalities about money. WHAT MUST I DO AS A CHRISTIAN TO BE FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT. When God placed Adam over the garden, GOD did not just leave him there, GOD told him to dress the garden. So the first thing you must understand is that you must have something doing. Determine your primary life purpose. >> Eva...

Receiving Strength Isaiah 40:29 KJV [29] He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. God supplies the needs of His children always. But His supplies are for those that are weak and powerless, not in the physical but in the spiritual. Do you see yourself as weak and powerless (that's without God you are nothing)? God doesn't come to the strong and powerful (proud ones) but to the weak and powerless (humble ones). Jesus said in Luke  5:31, "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick." Beloved, how are you in God? Are you proud or humble, self-centered or Christ-centered, whole or sick? God will only come to those that are humble, Christ-centered and sick. In verse 31, we're told that those that wait upon the Lord (those that are Christ-centered) will receive divine strength and power. Beloved, in our walk with Christ we should always be humble so that we'll receive divine power. May God he...

Waiting On Him Isaiah 25:9 NIV [9] In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” Waiting on God is never a waste of time as perceived by some. God has not and will never disappoint anyone that wait on Him. What then is waiting on God? To wait on God is to totally rely on and trust in God. It is to look only upon Jesus constantly. Beloved, those that wait on God their strength are not just renewed but their hopes are made alive and evident at the end. In this verse, they waited on God; God saved them from both physical and spiritual doom. God's Special one! What are you longing for? What is that situation confronting you also threatening your peace and joy? In the name of Jesus, as you wait on God, let the situation be no more. May Jehovah saved you! May you rejoice and not sorrow. God promised not to leave you; wait on Him continually. Isaiah 43:1-...

You're Somebody Romans 9:25-26 MSG [25] ... I'll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I'll call the unloved and make them beloved. [26] In the place where they yelled out, "You're nobody!" they're calling you "God's living children." Hallelujah! Beloved, you see what Jesus did for you and I. He made us somebody in God and the beloved of God. This He did by making the holy of holies accessible to us and benefactor of the holy of holies. Child of God, don't see yourself as a nobody in Christ even if you are still unintentionally falling in sin. Paul said it well to Timothy; 1 Timothy 4:12. Always take your stand in Christ that as Christ is the Beloved of God so also are you. Next time when you are called nobody in Christ quickly rebuke the person and confess this verse. You are never (after the death of Christ) the unloved of God but the beloved of God. So let not Satan's devices catch up with you that God is angry with you...

Surviving Firestorm! Isaiah 33:14-16 MSG [14] The sinners in Zion are rightly terrified; the godless are at their wit's end: 'Who among us can survive this firestorm? Who of us can get out of this purge with our lives?' [15] The answer's simple: Live right, speak the truth, despise exploitation, refuse bribes, reject violence, avoid evil amusements. [16] This is how you raise your standard of living! A safe and stable way to live. A nourishing, satisfying way to live. Firestorm is a chaotic situation that befalls the wicked, godless and sinners (those that have pleasure in sin and they purposely sin). But the firestorm is not the end of their lives. It is only meant to alert them of the impending doom if they change not. Yes! They can change and have a better life. Verse 16 make us to understand that when a wicked and godless fulfill verse 15, then the life is raised and nourished. Beloved, let's try to send this sermon to everyone via share and retweet. M...

Agree Willingly Philemon 1:14 ISV [14] Yet I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be something forced, but voluntary. Doing good is good and most times benefiting to the doer. Why then is good deeds not always benefiting to the doer? Willingness in agreement comes in! One can agree to do a thing but is the agreement willingly or forcefully? Just as forceful obedience most times yield nothing so also is forceful agreement. God cherish willing agreement and not forceful agreement that's why He didn't force anyone in the Heavenly to die for human. Christian leaders, be like God and Apostle Paul that didn't force anyone to do good out of necessity. All you have to do is to speak the truth and pray so that the heart of your followers will accept the truth and willingly do good so that they will reap the abundance of doing good. Beloved! In your discharge of good deeds let it willingly and not out of necessity. Keep on doing ...

Brimming Love Philemon 1:5 (MSG) [5] "I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other Christians. It baffles me to hear people say they Love God but their actions towards human is very harsh that even an idolater can't mete such actions on human. Love is not in words but in action and none can prove to Love God without loving a fellow human, 1 John 4:20-21. Beloved is your love for God flowing towards human? This is the place where we fail most time, we say we love God but can't use God's love for our fellow humans. The kind of love you have for God should be the same as the kind of love you have for human but you should reverentially fear God and respect Him above human. Until your love for God brims towards human you haven't started loving. Sorry I have to say it that your love is hypocritical. But the good news is that you don't have to worry. As you make up your mind to love, gradually your love will br...

Exalt My Horn! Psalm 75:10 KJV [10] All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. Amen! Let all the horns of the wicked be destroyed totally. The horn is their power and when it's destroyed they become powerless. Their horns being destroyed doesn't mean that they will die! So let the horns be destroyed. Who is the wicked? Those who are hostile to God are the wicked. They also say that there is no God, Psalm 36:1; 53:1. Let every wicked one that is troubling you die by Fire! Let them fall into their own traps!! As they continue to purse and trouble you, they will fall for you!!! Amen. As long as you believe in Jesus and rest upon His nature; not yours, you are righteous. The righteousness of Jesus has become your righteousness therefore your horn must be exalted! You'll grow more powerful daily. Nothing will stop your horn from being exalted. To believe in Jesus is to love all as Christ loved you. Grace and Fire wi...

What's Thy Name Luke 8:30 [30] And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. Name is very very important not just to the spiritual but also to the physical. It is a means of identification either good or bad. In this chapter of Luke, two situations occurred that took the real names of their victims and stamp on them the name according to the problem. Mary Magdalena was saved by grace else her name would have been replaced by her problem just like the woman with issue of blood and the demon possessed man (legion). Deliverance will come your way in Jesus name. Just call on God and He will deliver you, keep believing right only, Obadiah 1:17. I pray that all evil that has stamped themselves on you be destroyed by fire. May God deliver you like like these three! Battles of evil possession and good denial is over. Daily and always confess your freedom in Christ. He is made a curse so that you'll a blessing, Ga...

My Father's Business Luke 2:46 KJV [49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Who is your father? What's your father's business? Are you in your father's business? These questions are rhetorical and personal! It starts from, who is your father- God or Devil. Then, your father's business will be either salvation or damnation of souls respectively. Finally, your actions and inactions shows if you are in your father's business. Jesus at early age started His father's business till He left the Earth. He made some statements about this business; read John 4:34; 2:17, Psalm 69:9. If Jesus' father is your Father then you've to been zealous and passionate about the salvation of souls just as Jesus was while on Earth and still is now that He's with our Father. Beloved, you don't need to be a pastor etc, before you save souls. You're a priesthood commissioned to the...

Law Of Faith Romans 3:27 KJV [27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. What is faith? What is the law of faith? Faith here is the absolute belief in and total reliance on Christ and His work as yours, His righteousness as yours, His personality as yours. The law of faith is the law of one seeing himself as God sees Christ. This law requires no other action from human other than to have faith in God which in turn gradually model the life to Christ's life. This law justifies anyone who believes in Christ, all because of  Jesus' work. The laws before the law of faith brought the knowledge of sin, condemnation, ceremonial events and others but could in no way reconcile human to God once and for all. Some will say, since it is law of faith then I have to live the way I want as long as my faith in Christ is not breached. NO! Faith goes with love which makes you consider the weak before you act. Keep having faith in Je...

Abundantly Free Ephesians 1:7 MSG [7]  Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! Beloved how is your freedom gotten? Say it to yourself loud and clear, "I am free by Christ's blood!" Don't go around nursing the guilt in you that you are not free and not a friend of God. Speak against the devil's voice and take your freedom in Christ's blood; not in your right doings. Doing right is good and it shows that you are building on Christ's finished work but don't try to make your right doing the foundation of your freedom, for none can build another foundation! 1 Corin. 3:11. Therefore, make it your aim [depending fully on God's spirit to help you] to do right and not bad. Christ has freed you long ago. His freedom is total and abundant. Daily confess your freed...

Partnership! 2 Corinthians 6:14 MSG Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? Everyone is in partnership. Life can't be lived solely. We are either partners to light or to darkness. And we are free to be partners of either but we must be ready to accept the reward of partnering with our choice. God does not and will not force anyone to be partner to Light. What God does not entertain is being partner to light and also to darkness. Even in reality there can never be light and darkness together at the same time in a room. You as a light, should partner with the Light. Your partnership is known by your works and actions not just by your words. Matthew 5:14. Beloved! We can't be partners of light and darkness. Live as a light that you are by bring out God's colour in this world and your world. It is a gradual process as long as ...

God's Vindication Matthew 27:54 [54] The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, "This has to be the Son of God!" Christ suffered false accusations and a lot of unpleasant things as a result of the accusations, but the end exonerated and Vindicated Him. The same event of false accusations have been the bane of many Christians, preventing them from seeing God. Beloved! God is using your false accusers to glorify you and Himself. Don't succumb to the devil's roaring voice, telling you that you're accused because you have no God. God has not forsaken you and He will not just hold on to Him. God that vindicated Jesus (you can see the remark of those around) will also vindicate you. Jesus was also glorified, so shall you be. All you need is to continually look unto God and pay deaf ears to the false accusers. May God give us the grace to despite false a...

Not By Self Luke 22:61 MSG [61] Just then, the Master turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered what the Master had said to him: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times. " Before now, Peter had maintained a full confidence in his self that no matter what hr can't deny Christ. But his self failed him. No matter how strong the self may be, it can't stand for us especially in the things of the kingdom. Beloved the lesson here is in serving God, we should never rely on self but on the spirit. The same Peter that self failed became bold when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. You see the role of the Spirit here? Witnessing and standing for Christ is not done with the human nature (self) but with the spirit nature. The spirit nature is not afraid of physical death, troubles and challenges. This is why we all need the Spirit and not self. May God's spirit be poured upon all Christians worldwide so that the persecution against Christianity wil...

Loving The Best Way John 15:12 MSG ...Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love... There is a love greater than love. This is kind of love is the climax of love. Note that when I talk about love Here I mean agape or godly love. Christ told us to love our neighbours; first as ourselves, Matthew 22:39 then a further step we should love as He has loved us, John 15:12. Loving as Christ in Christ's way is the best way to love because even those that hate you, you will love, Matthew 5:43-48. Loving this way proves that we are really like Christ because when Christ was on Earth, He never selected who to love. He loved all, irrespective of tribe, religion and others. Yes! It is not an easy kind of love; it takes time to grow into this way of loving. May God help us all to grow into this kind of love. So, you can see that as a Christian (Christ like) we should depend on the Holy Spirit to teach and train us into this climax way of loving. May God hel...

The Root Command John 15:17 MSG 17 But remember the root command: Love one another. What makes someone to act the way he or her do is based on love. The commandments are wholly centred on one word; LOVE. If I steal from neighbour is due to my unloving heart same with coveting, murder and others. Beloved, Christ's rightly said it in Mark 12:29-31 that the commandment is just of two parts; Loving God (human responsible to God) and Loving fellow human in a godly way (human responsible to fellow human). Hence, this is what we are to do steadily. Loving without discrimination and selection is the command; to love all. Why is love the root command? God knows that it takes the display of Godly love to change any stubborn heart. The adulterous woman and many others were shown love and they had a tremendous change of heart from being evil doers to followers of Christ, Luke 19:5-10. Godly love makes us stand for God's will doing good not evil. I pray we should all have a godly...

You're Complete Colossians 2:10 [10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power John 15:5 Why let negative words reign and remain in you? Why feeling inferior? Don't you know who you are? Beloved don't listen to that voice that make you lesser. As long as you're in Christ you are COMPLETE and SUPERIOR. Were you not told that you are more than CONQUEROR? Now take your place and stand in Christ alone. By virtue of you being in Christ; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit is in you constantly aiding your weakness and empowering you for any uphill task. But bear in mind always that if you take away Christ, then you are incomplete and you can't do anything. Beloved! That God's will for your life that seems impossible for you is very very possible, all because you are in Christ. Note that it is in Christ you are complete. Don't attempt to be complete in yourself! That job, finance, project, contract, baby etc are yo...

Fruitfulness By Pruning Hebrews 12:1 ... let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us ... No tree produces well without pruning. To prune is to do away with dead parts from the living. Cut away whatever that isn't good. Note that your union in Christ makes you productive but when you're in Christ, you must prune so that you'll bear much fruits. Failure to prune leads to low productivity and gradual cutting off from Christ. John 15:1-5. The spiritual pruning is done by the word of God, Heb. 4:12 and nothing physical. What are those things which you're to kill? Colossian 3:5, 8 & 9. Regular examination and assessment of one's self aids pruning. That's why we are advised to examine ourselves, 2 Cor. 13:5. Beloved when examining yourself use the word of God and never allow devil to deceive nor condemn you. Grace to be continually pruned to be Ch...

I Need Your Hand 1 Kings 18:46 [46] And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. Whose hand do you need - God's or human's? The hand that is upon your life determines the speed, security and safety of your life. From the main verse, the king had not God's hand on him. This made him that despite he started first, he became the last. Elijah had God's hand on him and he overtook the King despite starting last and became the first. Beloved, what matter most is not the time you started the race but the hand that is upon you in the race. Ecclesiastes 9:11 said it all and the time and chance is the grace and favour that comes from God ask bro Zerubbabel and he will tell you as in Zechariah 4:7. Peculiar child of God, I pray that every race you have started, God's hands will carry you till the end. May God's overtaking speed locate your life now. That race will end in celebration and not i...

My Village!!! Mark 8:23, 26 [23] And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. [26] And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. Are you surprised at verse 26? That was Jesus' speech! Why should him not go back to the town nor tell anyone in the town? What is even the town? Let's learn from Micah 7:6, Obadiah 1:6-7 and 1 Cor. 15:33, Prov 27:17, Prov 13:20. From the above verses, you can see the reason Jesus asked him not to go back to the town. The town is those around you which could be your villagers, friends and neighbours. The issues you are passing through might be from your association with them but keep your light shining because light outshines darkness, John 1:5. I pray for you that any evil in your 'TOWN' will not affect your destiny! No evil will come near you!! May God's glory ...

Stay Awake! 1 Thessalonians 5:6 [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. Sleep is good but there are times when it is not required to sleep. Just like staying awake to read due to an examination, so we are to stay awake due to Christ's soon coming. Sleeping here entails negligence and recklessness towards a particular expected event. Like in the case of exams, it is playing, not being studious and doing non academic activities. Christ's coming ought to keep us MORE awake, sober and watchful because none knows the time and none will like to remain after rapture. Be spiritually studious, watchful and awake. Continue in the kingdom of God, Rom. 14:17 and don't entertain another gospel (ideas, philosophy and man made doctrines and teachings), Gal. 1:6-9, 2 Cor. 11:4. Beloved, we are of the day and not the night, hence let us be alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard, also being calm, collected, and circumspect because of Chris...

Look and Live 2 Isaiah 45:22 [22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else Looking can be either living or dying but with God, looking is always living. Why should I looked onto God? He is your creator, sustainer, supplier and everything. He is your life, Hebrews 12:2. Looking unto God is the total and full dependence of your person on God. Do you know that without God, you and I are no where? Just as the manufacturer, producer and creator of a thing has the full right to control, dictate and destroy what was made so also with God, Isaiah 45:9; 29:16. Beloved of God, there is nothing harmful or destructive in looking unto God. Great men and women are lookers of God, Psalms 5:3; 33:5. Not looking unto the Lord brings woe, shame, frustration, disappointment and other negative things, Isaiah 31:1. Beloved make it your aim to look unto God and not human or anything inanimate so that you will have life, peace, promotion and go...

Look and Live Numbers 21:9 [9] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Hebrews 12:2, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." SS&S 589 I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah! This message unto you I’ll give, ’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah! It is only that you “look and live.” Refrain: “Look and live,” my brother, live, Look to Jesus now, and live; ’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah! It is only that you “look and live.” Life is offered unto you, hallelujah! Eternal life thy soul shall have, If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah! Look to Jesus who alone can save. I will tell you how I came, hallelujah! To Jesus when He made me whole— ’Twas believing on His name, ...

Mind Your Actions Jeremiah 22:13 [13] Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; Good day my fellow peculiar people of God. The worst thing that can happen to a none is to be under the curse of Jehovah. Ask Cain and he will tell you that it is not a pleasurable thing to be under God's curse, Genesis 4:10-16. God's curse is upon those that benefit from others' services and labour. Those that enjoy the act of wickedness and unrighteousness, and used it to establish are under God's curse. It doesn't matter the fame and status acquired through wickedness and unrighteousness, it will utterly be destroyed (verses 18 and 19). Beloved, do you want to be destroyed like King Jehoiakim? Don't defraud your neighbour directly or indirectly. Don't accept injustice and don't mete out injustice to people. Let your ways be pleasing to ...

Do Good Work! Ephesians 4:28 [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Also read, 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12. Good Work is one of the antidote to stealing. My dear chosen generation, it is high time we started labouring with our hand doing good works because God love and favour those that labour goodly. You don't have to spend your time on fraud, stealing and, ungodly and illegitimate works rather invest you time in doing genuine work so that God will favour you. That fraud and goodless work you are unto will never be blessed by God. Don't spend your time repeated saying and quoting biblical verse like Deuteronomy 28:12, Philippians 4:19 etc, if you are doing an illegal work. It is not all work the Lord blesses. Therefore leave-off that ungodly, goodless and illegal work. God that promised to bless you will surely bless you if only you do good work an...

The Sweet Sleep Ecclesiastes 5:12 KJV [12] The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. Greetings Royal Priesthoods! Sleep is enjoyable but not to all. Some rich ones instead of sleeping sweetly have sleepless sleep. Why? Is it because if their wealth? No!!! Their abundance (evil) will not allow them to sleep. God so much love those that work (labour) and get rich through their labour but He detest those that evilly and wickedly get rich. Riches and wealth that is a product of evil and wickedness is not durable and in reality they give no pleasure nor peace. Beloved, many are in air-condition but are sweating profusely. Don't go after quick wealth. Get your wealth from God by depending on Him and, following His principles and tutelage. This is only the way you can get sweet sleep. It is not all about getting money and eating to your full but it is about doing the right thing thereby hav...
