SO I SPOKE TO HIM

                                                                        SO I SPOKE TO HIM
                                     PSALM 71:21 You shall increase my greatness and comfort me on every side.
The truth is that I went through many situations in my life that I thought I wouldn't make it but thank God I made it. There were moments in my life that I questioned my age, I questioned my gender, I questioned my qualification, I questioned my quantification, I questioned my character, I questioned my actions, I questioned my reactions, I questioned every move that I made, I questioned my dream, I questioned my destiny, I questioned anything that I could think of and I questioned God.
Though I have been through so much but I always know that someone is always watching me. Someone who knows everything about me. Someone who understands my pains, He knows my weakness and He knows my greatness.
At the very moment of counting my tears, I remembered Him and I spoke to Him, "Lord help me! You know all I have been through, please, increase my greatness and comfort me on every side". That was the moment I remembered my greatness. "So I am great?". So I did not only speak to God but I also spoke to my greatness. And God answered me. Now I say "I never would have made it".
Dear beloved, are you going through a situation that is similar to what I went through? Or greater than what I went through? Though everyone thinks his situation is greater than others' but we all go through things which we can over come. Do not give up, just surrender all to Jesus Christ. Pray the same prayer that I prayed above and you shall testify like me saying "I never would have made it". After the prayer please, do enjoy this video clip by Marvin Sapp "I never would have made it" http://www.youtube.ie/watch?v=7JXFg5KEoXg&feature=related
Stay BLESSED

HAVE YOU HEARD?

                                                                  HAVE YOU HEARD?
ISAIAH 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak. And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary. And the young men shall utterly fall. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like the eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
How joyful it is to know that our God is bigger than what we go through. It is even more exciting to know that our Creator neither faints nor is weary. The most interesting part of the scripture above is God wants us to live like Him if we wait on Him. Though we shall go through many situations but if we wait on the Lord we would not faint and not be weary. This gives us the confidence that we are not alone. God is going through it right now with you. The "run"and the "walk" in the scripture above are indications that we shall find ourselves in a tight corner, we shall go through rough roads but when we hold on to our God we shall rejoice at the end.
For you not to faint and not to wear out, you must hold on to God. Wait on Him, He will take you there. Please, do not consider the distance but consider your destination. Do not see the magnitude of the oppositions but see the size of the God who is standing with you right now. You have to appreciate the truth that the God who never faints and never gets weary is your God and He is going through it with you. This makes you a winner!
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I am holding on to You, You are my Creator, I have no other God and I am holding on to Your power for my miracles. Your word says that You give power to the weak and to those who have no might You increase their strength therefore I wait on You. I am holding on to You for my strength, for my joy, for my healing, for my revival, for my deliverance, for my restoration and for the fulfillment of my dream in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

THAT WAS ME BUT NOW THIS ME!

This message was preached yesterday by pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you because you are special in his heart. Please, do pass it on and stay blessed.

THAT WAS ME! BUT NOW THIS IS ME!

2Corinthians 5:17 Now if any man is in Christ Jesus he is a new creation, old things have passed away and behold all things have become new.

The above scripture says "NOW..." it does not say "THEN..." The "NOW..."means God is not looking at your pasts but He is looking at you right now. He wants us to move on. He wants you to recognize your newness once you are in Christ Jesus. He wants us to let go of old things. Old things will give birth to old things while new things will give birth to new things. Old things will attract old things while new things will attract new things. If you need new things then you must do new things. Quit from the old things.
The reason why some Christians are experiencing the same old things that they suffered before is that they refused to let go old things. When you hold on to old offence then old pains will begin to find their ways back to you. You refused to forgive the person who offended you yet you are praying to God for a miracle. You refused to let go of negative confessions yet you are expecting new things. Satan knows how to get you back to your old self in order for the old pains to come back.
If one must move forward then it is time he looks back and say "That was me! But now this is me!" For the new things to happen in your life you must let go of the old things.
The bad names that I used to answer I answer no more!
The bad songs I used to sing I sing no more!
The bad dance I used to dance I dance no more!
The bad conversation I used to have I have no more!
The bad company I used to keep I keep no more!
The tears I used to shed I shed no more!
The fear I used to fear I fear no more!
The negative confessions I used to confess I confess no more!
When Satan comes saying "Be afraid" you have to say "That was me but now this is me! The word of my God says "Fear not for I am with you!". When the devil says "Look your old pains are coming back!"You say "No! That was me but now this is me! I am a new creation in Chrst Jesus, old things about me are all gone and behold everything about me have become new!"
For things to change in your life you must change your thinking and if you change your thinking then your confession will change also. Let us pray;
PRAYER:
Almighty God thank You for transforming me through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am now a new creation, all old things about me are gone and everything about me have become new. I am the Light of this world therefore I shine. I am the glory of God! I am the Apple of God's eye. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I shall not die but live to declare the works of God. I am blessed above every curse. I take back all that the devil stole from me in Jesus' name. Amen.

BUT HELP CAME

This message was preached last Sunday by Pastor Paul and he wants to share it with you whom he loves. Be encouraged and be blessed.
                                                                   BUT HELP CAME
John 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty - eight years.
John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been now a long time in that situation He said to him, do you want to be made well? John 5:7 The sick man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another stepped down before me. John 5:8 Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk. John 5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked...
It is true that everyone is expecting. We all want something, be you the president of the most powerful nation on earth you are still expecting. Whether you believe there is God or not, you are still expecting something from above. You are not fulfilled yet. There is a moment in everyone's life that he feels he has no man to help him. This is the lie of the devil. The devil will tell you that you have no one to help you. He will tell you that you are all alone. He will always remind you of how long you have being in that situation. 38 years that man was suffering, though he was expecting a miracle but the devil made him to believe that help will not come to him. The devil made him to believe that he has no man to stand for him. But Help came to him.
Beloved! What situation are you right now? How long have you being in that situation? Do you think you have no one to help you? Here is the good news, Jesus Christ knows how to locate you. He knows how long you have being there. At the very point you are now He is the help you need. I see help coming your way. No matter the situation of things, help will come. No matter how long you have being in that situation help will certainly come, just hold on. You have been through situations before, but help came. You had shed tears before but help came. You thought you were not going to make it but help came. Help is coming. Behind every glory there is a story. Soon all that you are going through shall become a story. Jesus said in John 14:16 that "I will pray to the Father to give you another Helper..." How wonderful it is to know that we are not alone! Glory be to God Almighty! Help is coming! I see you rejoicing!
PRAYER:
Almighty God I thank You for sending my Helper to me. I know I am not alone, Jesus Christ is with me. Thank You my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for Your Holy Spirit that is lifting me up from every bed of limitation. I take up the bed and I walk in Jesus' name. Amen.

PUSH BACK

                                       PUSH BACK
Ecclesiastes 10:4 If the spirit of the ruler(forces of darkness) rises up against you do not leave place, for yielding pacifies great offences.
There are challenges here and there but if we do not give up then we shall win. Hold on to your dream, do not allow storms to pull away your hands. This is the time to push back. And as you push back you will move forward. The force that is against your joy has seen your miracle coming and it has intensified attacks. There is reinforcement against your joy but never worry because you must rejoice.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn...God will show up, that is the appointed time He has set as long as you have stayed in faith believing.
PRAYER:
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I refused to let go of my destiny. I hold on to my dream. I over come every opposition to my joy. I push back every contrary force to my joy. I resurrect with Jesus Christ and I reign with Him. Amen
