This message was preached yesterday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Please, spread this good news to those you love. Stay blessed.
EMPTY YOUR HANDS TO RECEIVE
Luke 10:39-42 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was distracted with so much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
In several occasions we worried and troubled ourselves over things which are not important. We created distractions and pains to ourselves.
We hold on to too much responsibilities which are not meant for us. God will not give you responsibilities which are above your ability. Sometimes, you would love to help everyone but you cannot help everyone. Sometimes you feel the urge and the pain inside to provide for everyone but you cannot provide for everyone. And sometimes you really wished to be there for everyone but you are not God.
Many times we really tried to do everything right but we could not do everything right.
We get our hands occupied with too much to bear. And because our hands are occupied, we cannot receive from God. We must empty our hands to receive from God. Mary brought all her pains to the feet of the Master and surrendered all to Him. But her sister Martha was struggling to solve her own problems by herself. Mary was listening to the voice of the LORD but Martha was hearing many tormenting voices. Voices of self defeat, voices of failure, voices of disappointment, voices of depression, voices of fear and of her pasts.
What voice are you hearing right now? Is it the voice of sickness? Of no money? No job? No life partner? No child? No promotion? The voice of debt? Of failure? Of fear? Just take all to Jesus Christ, go for the good part which Mary went for which no one can take from you. God is not happy that we put our trust on medical doctors more than on Him. When sickness comes then run to Christ before you run to the hospital, build up your faith. If there is sickness then there is a miracle of healing. "By the stripes of JESUS CHRIST we are healed". Please, do enjoy this video clip by Yolanda Adams "The battle is not yours" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN26jw53c0M
PRAYER:
Almighty God help me, I surrender all to You, touch me with Your mercy, touch me with Your love, touch me with Your healing, touch me with Your deliverance, touch me with Your revival, touch me with Your restoration and touch me with Your breakthroughs in Jesus' name. I rededicate my entire life to Jesus Christ. My LORD Jesus Christ I am holding on to You for my healing, for my marriage, for my... Thank You for pouring Your blessings on me.

OPERATION DISCOVER
OPERATION DISCOVER
Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
We made many mistakes in our lives which are haunting us today because of lack of REVELATION KNOWLEDGE of GOD. Many people are dreaming others' dreams, they left their own dreams. Many people married wrong persons, many are into wrong career, many are imitating others and many embraced others' callings instead of theirs. Satan is diverting people from discovering what is theirs. If you cannot see it then you cannot possess it. There is a revelation problem attacking everyone. It prevents people from seeing their real picture. It gives you a fake picture of yourself, hatred, fear and limitation.
You have to discover your own dream, do not accept others' dreams as yours. Nobody can dream for you, you have a dream which you must discover. A man without a dream is like a piece of wood that can be cast anywhere. It is the desire of your Creator that you discover who you are and what you are, your purpose of existence and your direction. Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
What we need right now is the Spirit of revelation of God because we are tired of our wrong decisions, wrong actions, wrong reactions and wrong thoughts.
Last Saturday we launched OPERATION DISCOVER. The following prayer points were handled and we would love to share them with those who are willing to discover.
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Pray for the Spirit of revelation of God;
To identify your purpose in life.
To identify your dream.
To identify the wrong things which you need to let go out of your life.
To identify the right things which you need to keep in your life.
To identify all that are stolen from you.
To identify any generational curse in your family.
To identify what was stolen from your family and
To identify the right direction
If you pray these prayers then you shall over come revelation problems.
Stay blessed,
Yours

BUT THE LORD STOOD WITH ME
This message was preached yesterday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you whom he loves. Stay blessed as you help to pass this on.
BUT THE LORD STOOD WITH ME
2Timothy 4:16-17 At my first defense no man stood with me, but all men forsook me, I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
This message is coming to someone who is facing disappointment right now. It is for someone who is lonely right now. Someone you once trusted has left you at the very point where you needed him or her most. The very one whom you built your entire life around has left you. He walked out on you. He abandoned you to face the music of life alone. He pulled away from you when you needed a shoulder to rest your troubled head on. Right now you feel betrayed. You no longer feel love and you no longer trust because the ones you loved and trusted have caused incurable injuries to you. And your bleeding refused to stop because you refuse to recognize the presence of the Almighty God.
Though it appears that everyone left you but God is still standing with you. He wants to give His appearance to you but first you have to release your appearance to Him. He wants to give His voice to you so that when you speak to your oppositions they will flee. It is the voice of God in you that demons respect and obey. But you must give your voice to Him first and recognize the truth that God is standing with you.
Do not worry about your situation, God is standing with you. He cares for you. Your miracle is coming. Behind your miracle is the Almighty God. We are in the generation of restoration. Let us pray;
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I surrender all to You. I know You are standing with me in my trials, pains... And I will not let go my miracle because You are my God my creator the one who delivered me from loneliness, from depression, from...I thank You Lord for standing with me in Jesus' name. Amen.
Yours,

THOUGH...
THOUGH...
PSALM 71:14 But I will hope continually. And I will praise You yet more and more.
Though things are not going the way I expected them but I still hope on my God and I give Him His praise. Though at a point I almost let go but I held on hoping and praising the LORD the more. Though I know there are still more storms ahead of me but I will hope continually and I will praise my God through my Lord Jesus Christ yet more and more.
Dear beloved, the right action you can take in that situation you are right now is to hope for the better and to praise God no matter what. I know it is difficult to hope in a hopeless situation but the truth is that with God there is no hopeless situation. If God allows any situation to come your way then He wants you to be hopeful. Do not give up, I know it is not easy to praise God in the midst of the storms but the breakthrough action that you need to demonstrate in the midst of the storms is to render praises to God. When you praise God in the midst of your trials and tribulations then you will render the source of your pains powerless.
We know that as long as we are on earth here we shall face various storms but we have to send a strong message to them, "But I will hope continually and I will praise my God yet more and more". Is your dream under threat? Of course everyone's dream is under threat so send a strong message to those obstacles which are standing on your way "But I will hope continually on my God and I will praise Him yet more and more".
As God is preparing your miracle, He is also preparing you for your celebration. Therefore wait on Him, do not give up on your dream. If you do quit then you shall win. Remember you are blessed above every curse.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, You are my hope and my praise. I have no other God but You. And You who made me, created me to succeed in life. You created me to be at the head but not at the tail. You created me to rejoice but not to be sorrowful. In your presence there is the fullness of joy but not the fullness of sadness therefore I ask for Your presence to cover me and my entire family in Jesus' name. I see the best coming my way and I give You the praise for all my expectations, I praise You for my... (name all your heart desires) in Jesus' name. Amen.

WHO IS THIS STRANGER? LOVE
Pastor Paul is sharing this message of love, he preached yesterday with you because he loves you. Please, do pass this love of God on to others. Thanks.
WHO IS THIS STRANGER? [LOVE]
1John 3:14-15 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God and every one that loves is born of God and knows God. He that loves not does not know God, for God is love.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.
This message was a back up of the drama skit "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR" Part 1 "Who Is This Stranger?" staged by our children's ministry. I thank God for these wonderful kids.
The greatest thing you can give is love, the most joyful thing to receive is love, the most painful and the most valuable thing to take from someone is love.
Absence of love ushers in hatred, violence, oppression, retaliation, robbery and killing. Right now our society is weeping because of rampant crimes, hatred, violence and abuse. So what should we do? How do we stop this violence and retaliation? Of course, we can only give out of what we have. If you do not have love there is no way you can give love. Today there is too much bitterness in the hearts of people because of what each one is going through. Situations are making us bitter against ourselves and against others. You can only make your neighbour happy when you are happy. Satan knows this, so he is pushing people against themselves. He is devaluing people and taking their rights from them. Your right is that you have authority over your situation. God wants you to know that He is with you in every situation. He is saying, "Though I might appear like a stranger to you because of what you are going through but I am still with you and I am your Maker. Walk out of your yesterday and recognize Me as your love today. I have not given you the spirit of fear but of love. Go on and spread this love, love everyone even those that caused you pains."
Beloved ones, it is not too late to change things. We can start right now by first changing our thinking. For anything to change in your life you must first change your thinking. Let us pray:
PRAYER:
Almighty God, my Creator I approach Your throne of mercy this moment for Your mercy on me. I approach Your throne of newness for a change in my life. I am tired of bitterness. I am tired of hatred. I therefore vomit every bitterness, hatred and painful memories out of my entire body. I soak my soul, my heart and my spirit in the precious blood of Jesus Christ for purification. Now I step out of my bitter pasts and I reach out to others with love. And I bless lives in Jesus' name. Amen.

PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO...
PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO...
Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Right now you are filled with bitterness of what that person did or said to you. And you have been carrying this load for hours, for days, for weeks, for months and even for years. Please, you have to let go of this burden.
Unforgiving spirit is a very destructive spirit. It leads one into:
Self destruction
Self tormenting
Self imprisonment
Sickness
Hatred
Abusing others
Destroying others
Destroying Nations
Unproductive
Retrogression
unstable relationship
And missing the kingdom of God.
Though it is difficult to forgive but we must, no matter the level of the offence if we want God to forgive us then we must forgive others. For you to forgive those who offended you, you must see them as victims of spiritual abuse. They were under the manipulations of the forces that are against your happiness. Forces that want to see you bitter to yourself and to others. Forces that want you depressed, they want you to retaliate, to quarrel, to be aggressive and to fight.
Please, you have to forgive for you to move forward. Some of your blessings are tied down because you refused to let go. Even the person who offended you has moved into his today but you are still in your yesterday. Every offence is a past but forgiveness is now. Relief yourself of that burden. Off-load your anger, your pains, your bitterness and every thought of disappointment, abandonment and abusiveness.
How long should you be in that self prison call "I will never forget what he or she did to me! And I will never forgive him or her"?
Dear beloved, you are more than that. You are more than the offence. You being alive today shows that you are more than what he or she put you through. The best way to excel in the midst of offence is to forgive. Let us pray.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I call on You today to forgive me all my sins as I forgive those who did sin against me. Today I sign a new covenant with You, I am a new creation therefore I let go off my past and I move on . I move on into my joyful pavilion. I throw away every bitterness and pains of the heart. I purify my soul in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. I am more than every limitations of anger. I move out of my yesterday and I forgive Mr./Mrs./Ms...of all that he/she did/said to me . Now I surrender all to you in Jesus' name. Amen.

WHY ARE YOU NOT CALLING?
WHY ARE YOU NOT CALLING?
Psalm 50:15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.
Psalm 55:16-18 As for me, I will call upon God and the LORD shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon will I pray and cry aloud and He shall hear my voice. He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me. For there were many against me.
In all situations God wants you to call on Him. He is standing by to respond to your call. Whatsoever situation you might be right now, God wants you to know that He is bigger than all your problems. He is just waiting for you to invite Him in. He wants to get involve. He wants to take over you and your problems. Surrender all to Him and sit back to watch. He is always there on time. He won't allow you to be put to shame.
Call on your creator through our LORD Jesus Christ. He is your protector and your provider.
Present your case before your God, weep no more! Your Maker is with you, pray to Him anywhere you are. Lift up your voice to Him and pour out your heart before Him.
Before you run to a medical doctor, run to JESUS CHRIST.

Before you react to or retaliate that person, call on JESUS CHRIST.
Before you torment yourself for what that person said to you, call on JESUS CHRIST.
Before fear graduates into stress, stress into depression and depression into bipolar disorder, please, call on JESUS CHRIST.
Why are you not calling on Him? You cannot go through it alone.
Your wealth cannot solve it.
Your qualification cannot solve it.
Your beauty cannot solve it.
Your position cannot solve it.
Your earthly connection cannot solve it.
Your colour cannot solve it.
Your height cannot solve it .
And your strength cannot solve it.
But the God of miracles can do all things.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I call on You this moment of my need as You have instructed me to call on You in a time like this.

WHO IS A MOTHER?
WHO IS A MOTHER?
Yesterday was mothers' day. Various congratulatory messages were sent to mothers all over the world. Here in CHRIST LOVE FAMILY we joined in sending these congratulatory messages and we joined also in the celebration but in a peculiar way. The best message to send and the best way to celebrate this occasion is to define who a mother is.
Sister Cheriese who represented her mother, sister Janet Carter defined a mother as ESTHER taken from Esther 4:16-17
The woman who stands for her Nation
The woman who stands for her family
The woman who seeks the face of God for her people
The woman who will give herself into fasting and prayer for her people because she knows that the spiritual controls the physical.
And the woman who will take the risk for her people saying "If I perish I perish"
Sister Lindia Warner drew her definition of a mother from Acts 9: 36-39 with focus on DORCAS and she also used 1Corinthians 13:1-3 to support her definition of a mother. According to her, a mother is;
Not just a woman that gave birth to a child but a woman who has love for everyone.
She shares with those in need
A woman who does not discriminate
She works to put smiles on the faces of people
A woman who wants to be remembered for her work no matter what she has to go through.
A woman who affects the people around her positively.
And when she is gone, her works speak for her, everyone sees her good work and remembers her values.
The last Speaker sister Ivy Whiskey did not only summarize the messages of the first two speakers but also defined a mother as HANNAH from 1Samuel 1:11-20, 26-28 and 1Samuel 2:1-2, to her a mother is;
A woman who takes her problem to God.
A woman who vows to God on behalf of her children and fulfills her vow.
A woman who dedicates her children to God even before they are born.
She teaches her children the right way of life, how to love, to forgive, to tolerate others, to respect, to serve, to be patient, to be hard working and to fear God.
And a woman whose life is a good example to her children in conversations and in all manners of living.
I thank God for using these women to explain to us who a mother is. It is true that many parents have failed to inculcate into their children the moral principles and good values of life. Though the mothers are the ones standing today for their children but they need to do more. If you want your child to live a good life and a fulfilled life then you must take him or her to Christ Jesus. Mothers should follow the steps of the mother of James and John in Matthew 20: 20-21, she took her two sons to Jesus Christ and knelt down before Him asking Jesus Christ to allow her sons, one to sit on His right hand side and the other on His left hand side.
If mothers take their children to God then this violence, drugs addiction and hatred will reduced close to zero.
Yesterday was mothers' day. Various congratulatory messages were sent to mothers all over the world. Here in CHRIST LOVE FAMILY we joined in sending these congratulatory messages and we joined also in the celebration but in a peculiar way. The best message to send and the best way to celebrate this occasion is to define who a mother is.
Sister Cheriese who represented her mother, sister Janet Carter defined a mother as ESTHER taken from Esther 4:16-17
The woman who stands for her Nation
The woman who stands for her family
The woman who seeks the face of God for her people
The woman who will give herself into fasting and prayer for her people because she knows that the spiritual controls the physical.
And the woman who will take the risk for her people saying "If I perish I perish"
Sister Lindia Warner drew her definition of a mother from Acts 9: 36-39 with focus on DORCAS and she also used 1Corinthians 13:1-3 to support her definition of a mother. According to her, a mother is;
Not just a woman that gave birth to a child but a woman who has love for everyone.
She shares with those in need
A woman who does not discriminate
She works to put smiles on the faces of people
A woman who wants to be remembered for her work no matter what she has to go through.
A woman who affects the people around her positively.
And when she is gone, her works speak for her, everyone sees her good work and remembers her values.
The last Speaker sister Ivy Whiskey did not only summarize the messages of the first two speakers but also defined a mother as HANNAH from 1Samuel 1:11-20, 26-28 and 1Samuel 2:1-2, to her a mother is;
A woman who takes her problem to God.
A woman who vows to God on behalf of her children and fulfills her vow.
A woman who dedicates her children to God even before they are born.
She teaches her children the right way of life, how to love, to forgive, to tolerate others, to respect, to serve, to be patient, to be hard working and to fear God.
And a woman whose life is a good example to her children in conversations and in all manners of living.

I ALMOST LET GO
This message was preached yesterday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you because he loves you. Please, do enjoy your blessings.
I ALMOST LET GO
1Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it.
Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said "I will not make mention of His name, nor speak anymore in His name." But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones.
This message is for those who believe that the word of God is true but time is running out. "When God? And why God? Why me? Why do I have to go through this? Haven't I suffered enough? Why can't I be like that person or like this person?"
Everyone here has a story behind his or her glory. It is true that you have been through so much in life. I have been there, there were times in my life that I was bitter with God. I asked so many forbidden questions. I almost let go. I thought I wouldn't make it.
Jeremiah was a man of God. God brought him out of his hiding and positioned him for a mission. But like Joseph who had a dream and was able to interpret his dream, he was not told of how long it will take him to get there and he was not told of what he would go through to get there. Like Jeremiah there are some of us right now going through situations and the devil is encouraging us to let go.
Though we have painful stories but we are still alive. We are alive today to testify. The reason why we have to experience pains is to have the experience to help others. God who allows any situation to come your way loves you. He knows what He is doing. He knows that you are coming out of it because He has given you the ability to over come. These three things go together, ABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY AND BENEFIT. God gives ability before He gives responsibility and your benefit is tied to your responsibility. God will not ask you to lift a load that He did not give you the ability to lift. So anything you are going through right now will soon be your story. God is giving you a story to tell others. You are going through a situation for others right now.
In the midst of my tears and confusion God called me "Son! You are going through it for many souls and you must go through it for them." Now I can stand and talk about suffering, I have graduated from many schools therefore it is my turn to testify.
God knows about your situation more than you. He is watching you right now. Are you about giving up? Do you want to let go? Please, hold on because you are almost there. Your miracle is about to manifest. Before we pray please, enjoy this video clip "I almost let go" by Kurt Carr singers. http://www.youtube.ie/watch?v=sTQmgp1JppU
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I thank You for the ability You have given to me to over come. I accept my responsibility and I take my position to enjoy my benefit. I surrender all to you and I refuse to let go of my dream. I am holding on to You no matter what in Jesus' name. Amen.
