Must Read] Revealed way of becoming more like Jesus
Revealed way of becoming more like Jesus
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze”(Isaiah 43:2 NIV).
The heat is on.
No one likes that feeling. It happens when pressure gets tight, when deadlines get close, and when expectations get intense.
Daniel had three friends who experienced the heat being on them — both figuratively and literally — in Daniel 3.

When Daniel’s friends wouldn’t bow in worship to a statue of King Nebuchadnezzar, the king angrily had his men toss them into a fire and turn up the heat seven times hotter.
Literally, the heat was on.


But God walked with them through it.
The Bible says, “Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, ‘Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?’ They replied, ‘Certainly, Your Majesty.’ He said, ‘Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods’” (Daniel 3:24-25 NIV).

Of course, you and I know it wasn’t “a son of the gods” in there with those guys. It was Jesus — the only Son of God. He was walking through the fire with them.
And he’ll walk through the fire with you, too.
Jesus tells us, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20b NIV).

The Bible tells us you’ll never be alone. God will always be there with you and for you.
In Isaiah 43:2 God says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze” (NIV).

Notice the Bible doesn’t say if you pass through the waters; it says when you pass through the waters.
You will have troubles. But Jesus will always walk with you through them.

[Must] How to conquer problems easily |See
How to conquer problems easily
Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own”(Jeremiah 33:3b The Message).

Daniel gives us a great example for how to handle an impossible situation. When asked to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2, Daniel responded in a manner we can model.

In recent devotionals, I’ve told you that Daniel didn’t panic, and that he tried to understand why the king made the request. He also asked for more time, and then gathered a prayer team.

Daniel also prayed and asked for God to give supernatural help. A Supernatural help is all what we need to conquer problems that tries to over whelm us in this end time. 

It has already been said in the Gospel word of God Matt. 24:6, that time will come when we will hear rumours of war, nations rising against nation and others, all this things are already happening, we don't need to panic just ask God for his intervention and he will answer you.

When you’re put in an impossible situation, your talent, logic, and education won’t solve your problem, it is only by going down in your kneels and ask God for a solution.
That’s why you pray and ask God for his supernatural help. 

God told Jeremiah, who lived at the same time as Daniel: “Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own” (Jeremiah 33:3b The Message).
That’s what Daniel needed. He needed the Lord to show him what he would never be able figure out on his own. Trying to survive on your own in this perilous time is not gonna help, involving your self in things God has told us to flee from to get things done easily won't help.

Daniel could guess for a thousand years and never figure out the king’s dream. But God could tell him in an instant.


The Bible says we don’t have because we don’t ask.
So many times we miss out on God’s best simply because we never ask him for it.
I’ve seen God do this over and over again in my life. I’ve faced big odds that I couldn’t fathom solving on my own. 

Let me tell you a little story of how God saved me just because i asked from him when i was in my college. During the Midsession of the school activities we do have tests, i being a very serious student, always reading my books, visiting the library, meeting the teachers after classes for further explanation of what has been taught, but yet there is this subject I couldn't understand, I have tried all my possible best but seem impossible. I lost hope on passing that subject, thank God for revealing to me on how he could save through prayers, so I prayed and asked God for his supernatural understanding and wisdom as he gave Solomon in the Gospel book. You could imagine that I was now the one teaching my fellow students on that subject. That's how God works.


And God has answered. My life is a series of answered prayers.
I want God to do the same for you. All you need to do now is to ask him for forgiveness in any way you must have done thins wrongly, then ask for what ever you need
Will you ask him for his best for your life?

[Must read] Is having sex with my girlfriend a sin? | See

SERMONS/EXALTATIONS ,
[Must read] Is having sex with my girlfriend a sin? | See
Run from sin
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these,  Adultery, Fornication, uncleanliness, Lasciviousness, Galatians 5:19.

It is very significant that all the first four works of flesh mentioned in the Bible (Galatians 5:19) are done of sexual immorality. Sexual immorality is so gracious to God that Paul warned, "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality....." (Ephesians 5:3). We shall discuss on fornication.

Fornication refers to sexual immorality between two persons neither of whom is married, in a more simple way, fornication means having sex before marriage. In the word today Fornication is common to many youths, you will find out that youths who are in a relationship can't do without this immoral act forbidden by God. You May ask, how is it bad having fun with my girl friend? Let's look at 1Corintians 6:15-20, the Bible made it clear that Fornication is a sin,  and also warned us to flee from it.

God really hates Fornication, it was mentioned in the Bible many times almost than any other sin.
 1Corinthians 10:8-9, Neither let's commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand, verse 9: Neither let us tempt Christ,  as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

 See Also: Urgent Roles of Christians in this decaying world

Example of Fornication in the Bible was the event between Shechem and Dinah (Genesis 34:1-31), One-day, Dinah went out to interact with other girls in the city of Canaan. Shechem saw her, and committed fornication with her, after which he proposed to marry her. Young people toady do indulge in this act, in the name of courtship, you will see a Male and a female living together, yet they are not married, instead they are committing all sort of immoral acts. God is bringing to our notice that he hates it.

Consequences of Fornication

  1. They bring God's name into disrepute (2Sam. 12:13-14)
  2. They hinder the presence and move of God in one's life and in the church.  (1 Correct.  5:1-5)
  3. Sexually transmitted diseases.
  4. Death
  5. Calamity on oneself,  family, society (Gen. 34:1-31)
  6. Shame and disgrace,  loss of status or position through the scandal (pro. 6:26).
  7. Enternal destruction (Hell fire). 
How to avoid Fornication 
  • Avoid every thought, conversation, Music, books, picture, movie, etc, that can pollute your heart with sexual feelings or emotion.  (Pro. 4:23, Matt. 15:18-20, James 1:13-15)
  • Do not compromise any seductive situation or relationship (1Cor. 15:33, Pro. 5:1-13)
  • Marry a fellow Christian under God's guidance with whom you can share sexual intimacy (1 Cor. 7:1-2) , Heb. 13:4).
So in 1gospel let's amend our ways as we have seen that having sex in a relationship not ordained is a sin, let's flee from it and out life with be straight both physically, spiritually, academically, and otherwise.

[Must Read] Flee from this things (1gospel)

SERMONS/EXALTATIONS ,
[Must Read] Flee from this things (1gospel)
Flee from this things
1Tim 6:11, 1Cor 6:9, 1John 3:8
Everyone should understand there are things that can destroy our faith. It night be appealing to our flesh, Proverb 16:25.

 Having viewed the portions of the bible above, we will come to understand there are things God requires us to stop. We must stop things he said we should stop, so that he will record us as his children. You can't be a christian and still be committing sin.

So through this message we shall outline the things which Gud wants us to flee from. (Like one of the messages my pastor, Lazarus mouka; he said "Mark them and avoid them")

Things God wants us to flee from. (1Cor. 6:9)

  1. Fornication
  2. Idolatry
  3. Adultery
  4. Effeminate
  5. Abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexual, lesbianism)
  6. Covetousness
  7. Theft Etc
There are many things we are to flee from. And if we refuse to flee we will land in hell fire. Rev. 21:8.
God dies not entertain evil, he hates evil 1peter 1:15-16, Hab. 1:13. If you look at it here you will see God has a purer eyes to look at sin, but if you live in holiness, Gud will live very well with you Isaiah 59:1.
God doesn't answer a sinner,  Heb. 12:14, here we also have to flee from malice, quarrel, so that we will also be at peace with God. Let us serve God in holiness and righteousness, so we will make heaven. 
Check this portions if the bible to know more things you should flee from.(Matt.5:21:22, 5:27-28, 5:33-37).

So in summary we need to search our self, so we will know the area, we are to flee from. I'd we have sinned we are to do restitution and repent. Doing restitution is hard but when done the shame will only last for 2months. So we must purge ourselves from every sin. 1Cor. 6:9-10. A Christian is not a sinner, a sinner is not a Christian, flee from all this things and live Godly, never be quick to get the things of this world.

[Must Read] How to begin learning with Success

[Must Read] How to begin learning with Success
How to begin learning with success

How to begin learning with success
Never stop reciting these teachings. you want to have faith in them night and day so you may reliably do everything written in them. solely then can you prosper and succeed” (Joshua 1:8 GW).

To really surpass in no matter you’re learning (whether it’s a brand new ability, a brand new theory, or a few new person), you want to initial steep yourself in God’s Word.

I selected the word steep by design. does one grasp what it means that to steep a tea bag? you are taking a tea bag out, dunk it in predicament, and bounce it up and down. You can’t do this quickly. You won’t have any tea. you wish to try to to it slowly. once you do this, you extract all of the flavour out of that tea bag.

You need to try to to an equivalent factor with God’s Word if you wish to essentially surpass in no matter you’re learning. You don’t bang chop-chop. i feel in reading. I bang oft. however I ne'er speed-read the Bible. I browse it slowly, word by word. Why? The Bible says each word of God is pure.

Before you learn something, begin by steeping yourself in God’s Word. It’s the key to being thriving.

Everyone needs to succeed. you wish to reach your career. you wish to reach your relationships. you wish to reach your learning. The Bible provides clear counsel to anyone World Health Organization needs to succeed.

Joshua 1:8 says of God’s Word, “Never stop reciting these teachings. you want to have faith in them night and day so you may reliably do everything written in them. solely then can you prosper and succeed” (GW).

God’s not a trickster. this is often his promise to you. If you wish to achieve success and prosperous in life, study his Word ceaselessly.

[Must Read] How to cope with your faith and Education | See

Christian life hints ,
[Must Read] How to cope with your faith and Education | See
Faith, education
When your education test your faith, you have three choices.....

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12 NIV).
Education is vitally important to all of us. It’s one of the few parts of our lives that should never end. We should always be learning. The Bible describes it as a key to a successful life (Proverbs 19:8).
But like anything so important, we have to guard it. We have to ensure that our learning draws us closer to God and doesn’t pull us away from him.
That starts with a decision.
You have to decide in advance to stand for God.
The time to think through your loyalty to God isn’t when you’re learning something new. It’s before you even start.

The Bible tells us, “In the world you have tribulation” (John 16:33b NASB).
This verse doesn’t say “you might” have troubles. It doesn’t say “if” you have troubles. It says you will have troubles. And that includes your education. Your faith will be tested by your education. No doubt about it.
In 2 Timothy 3:12 we read, “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (NIV).

If you’re not suffering any persecution in your life, it may indicate you’re not living an entirely godly life. It may mean you’re trying to be a chameleon where some people don’t know you’re a Christian.

Count on being tested in your education. You can fail a big math test. But you can’t fail the most important test you’ll ever take — the test of your faith. It has eternal consequences.

 Read Also: Every Storm is a school, every trial is a teacher

When your education tests your faith, you have three choices: 

You can take a dive. You withdraw and just drop your faith.
You can withdraw. You simply compartmentalize your life, and you don’t let God’s Word impact what you’re learning.
You can determine to thrive. You choose to run what you’re learning through the filter of God’s Word.

That’s what Daniel and his friends did in the first chapter of Daniel. Before going through the king’s indoctrination program, Daniel “made up his mind not to defile himself” (Daniel 1:8a NLT).
Daniel and his friends didn’t let phony ideas blow up their faith. Neither should you.

Decide from the start you’ll protect your mind. Decide you’ll run everything through a biblical filter. That’s how you thrive in your education — and your faith. And use this filter no matter how old you are or where you are in life — God wants you to be a lifelong learner, which means you’ll face lifelong challenges to your faith.

Remember that God is for you, not against you, when you’re being tested. He’s guiding you into a deeper faith and a closer relationship with him.

[Must Read] powerful ways to deal with No - win situation

Christian life hints ,
[Must Read] powerful ways to deal with No - win situation
Dealing with impossie situations
“Get the facts at any price”(Proverbs 23:23a TLB).

Has someone ever asked you to do something you thought was impossible? Maybe a friend, a boss, or a parent came to you and wanted you to do something that seemed too big for you.

You may be facing such a request right now. You’re wondering how in the world you’ll get started.
Over the next few devotionals, I’ll share with you what the Bible says about tackling the impossible.
But let’s begin by talking about where to start.

First, don’t panic.
Follow the pattern of Daniel. In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar went to his astrologers with a desperate need for them to interpret a dream. When they couldn’t do it, he planned to execute them. Then he sent someone to get Daniel.

The Bible says, “When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact” (Daniel 2:14 NIV).

The most powerful man on the planet had ordered the assassination of Daniel — and his friends. When the king’s hit man showed up to kill him, the 17-year-old handled the situation with wisdom and discretion. Not bad for a young, teenage kid.

Daniel didn’t panic. Neither should we.
Instead of panicking, Daniel learned all the facts and sought to understand the motivation behind the king’s request.
The gospel Bible says, “He asked the king’s officer, ‘Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?” Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel’” (Daniel 2:15 NIV).

When someone asks you to do the impossible, you need to understand why. You need all the facts.

The king was scared to death. When people are panicking, they get emotional. They start making illogical requests. You need to understand why before moving ahead.
Proverbs 23:23a says it this way: “Get the facts at any price”(TLB).

So if you’re asked to do the impossible, don’t panic. Get all the facts.
We’ll look at other steps to take when you’re in this situation in the next few devotionals.

[Must Read] God test with stress before trusting with success

SERMONS/EXALTATIONS , Videos
[Must Read] God test with stress before trusting with success
“Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart” (Proverbs 17:3 NLT).

You could watch a million hours of television and movies without finding a story as thrilling as the story the Bible tells about Daniel. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark and Mission Impossible all rolled into one.

The Bible follows Daniel’s life from the age of 15 until he’s 85. And every step of his story is breathtaking. Over the next few weeks, we’ll study Daniel’s life and explore key truths that we can apply to our lives today.

When Daniel was still a teenager, the Babylonians put down a rebellion in Judah and took some of the Israelites into captivity. Because Daniel was healthy, knowledgeable, and perceptive, he was taken as a prisoner to be trained for service in the king’s court (Daniel 1:1-7).
And then God tested him because God tests us with stress before God trusting us with success. God had big plans for Daniel. There are only two men in all of history that God told what the end of the world would be like: Daniel and the apostle John. God gave Daniel the job to communicate that message first to Israel and then to the whole world through the Bible. But before God could trust Daniel with this message, God gave him stress. God gave Daniel a test.

The Bible says in Proverbs 17:3, “Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart” (NLT).

If God’s going to use you, he’s going to test you first. He wants to be sure you’re ready to handle the power, the blessing, the influence, or whatever else he wants to give you.

The Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, put Daniel and other young men into a three-year indoctrination program. He wanted to wipe out their memories of Israel and to secularize them. They were taught a new language, a new culture, a new religion, and new habits. The Babylonians were trying to reprogram Daniel and these other young men, and prepare them to serve in the royal court.
But the king faced unexpected opposition when he tried to change Daniel’s diet, which he followed in obedience to God’s commands. 
The Bible says, “Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way” (Daniel 1:8 NIV).

In essence, the king told Daniel to forget God and the spiritual values he’d followed his whole life. But Daniel wouldn’t do that, and so he passed the test.  
God will give you a similar test. It won’t look exactly the same. But God will test your character. God wants to know if he can trust you with success. And the good news: God is right there with you helping you to succeed.
