God Leads Us.
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get ye out of your country, and from your kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee.” Gen. 12:1(KJV).
God commanded Abram to leave everything he loved and go where God sent him.
When Jesus chose His disciples and called to them to follow Him.
They left everything and followed Him.
In both cases, the result was great blessings from God.
Does God really expect you to leave your parents?
Does He expect you to go to a different country?
What does God expect you to do?
God will not give you your own country like He did with Abram.
God wants to give you a place in His Kingdom.
You do, however, must leave your own desires.
There are different spheres of life God wants you to dominate.
It could be in the medicine, entertainment, or construction industry.
God wants you to be the masterpiece that glorifies His kingdom.
You must leave your earthly dreams, and you must follow Jesus.
This does not mean you must not strive for a beautiful earthly life.
This means you must do everything you do to the glory of God.
Abraham was successful in his earthly life because God blessed him. Abraham always pleased God.
You can also be blessed in your earthly life, but always do what pleases God.
That way, you are not only Blessed, you also become a Blessing.
Application to the Christian life:
Be prepared to sacrifice to follow Jesus.
Listen to Him and follow Him.
Have Dominion in all your God-Given assignments.
Do everything to the honor of God.

Seven Things The Lord Hates – Part 2.
“These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” (Proverbs 6:16-19) KJV
We had previously looked at the first two things that God hates.
Today, we will look at the rest of the things the Lord hates.
Hands that shed innocent blood.
Jesus said you don’t need to kill someone to be considered a murderer. You only need to say to your brother: ‘you fool,’ and you are considered a murderer.
Don’t Speak contemptuously to another person.
Let your words build up and not destroy.
A heart that devises wicked plans.
Did you ever consider taking revenge against someone?
Let God be your avenger.
Feet that are swift in running to evil.
Where are the places that you like to go to?
Are they good places?
Can you praise God there?
Please don’t forget that beautiful are the feet of those who go and share the Gospel!
A false witness who speaks lies.
Have you ever covered a friend by telling a lie?
Stop speaking half-truths.
One who sows discord among brethren.
“It’s only gossip,” says the devil to your ears.
There’s nothing wrong with gossiping about a brother or a sister from the Church?
Is that right?
Be more passionate about doing God’s will.
Avoid these things that the Lord hates.
Application for the Christian life:
Keep the commandments of God.
Be humble and submit your life daily to Him.
Leave your own desires and ideas and follow Jesus.

What Reason ye in Your Heart?
“But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?” (Luke 5:22) KJV
What are the thoughts in your heart today?
Should Jesus “perceive” your heart right now?
What do you think about yourself?
How do you see yourself in life today?
Are your thoughts in line with what God has said about you, or you are importing different opinions from the various things you have exposed yourself to?
You are a product of your thoughts, and if you can have control over your thoughts, the Bible describes you as a Great person.
Once again, ask yourself if Jesus could ask you openly about your thoughts; what would HE be saying to you?
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8) KJV
Examine the contents of your thoughts about yourself.
Speak to the challenges you are facing right now using the right words to guide the desired outcomes.
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” (Proverbs 23:7) KJV
It’s not about what you are thinking of the other person or me in your life. Today’s reflection is about what are you thinking about yourself.
It’s so easy to let your thoughts loose on other people, especially those you perceive that don’t like you or have already classified them as your enemies.
Such ideas come about so quickly because of the nature of a man’s heart.
However, the productive thoughts that will personally change your destiny and empower you to fulfill your God-given purpose require discipline and focus.
This new year resolve that your thoughts about yourself will align with God’s purpose for your life and the assignments He has given you. What’s going on in your heart right now about You?
Application in Christian life:
Realize you are nothing; God is ALL.
You can achieve anything, but only with God’s help.
Do not judge others.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Walking with a Covenant Keeping God.
Experiencing Supernatural Expansions by Divine interventions.
“So I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will confirm My covenant with you.” Leviticus 26:9(NASB)
“Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there!” Psalms 77:19 (NLT.)
Congratulations and Happy New Year
The Recent two years have been quite challenging.
Or we can put it in another way to say
Since the emergence of Covid 19, the world has never been the same.
Nations went from movement restrictions to total lockdowns
Outright travel bans from Nations to Nations.
At a point, you can just visit the Hospitals for routine medical checkups
It has to be a severe emergency and Covid related too.
But through all of these, God in His Mercies kept and preserved You.
You, watching us today, have been kept by His grace.
Again, we commiserate with those who lost their loved ones within this period.
Especially to the Pandemic, which somehow looks like plandemic.
The enemy is rolling out these attacks, and the onslaught has been strategic.
However, most people don’t have plans to counter these offensives.
Whether spiritual or medical, people just react.
In the beginning, God did not make it so.
When God created man, HE gave Him Dominion.
He maintained that relationship through covenants.
In the Scriptures, there are about 6 covenants:
It is a good background knowledge for you to know them.
God now deals and relates with you as a person.
That is why your personal walk with God is crucial, and it determines your destiny fulfillment with God.
In this new 2022, God says, remember to keep my covenant.
Throughout the Bible, God has always kept His part of the deal.
Many assumed that God would automatically do all the miracles once they had been born again and keep the supplies flowing.
As a “Child Christian,” God will do things for you just as good parents do.
However, you expect an average growing child to learn and do the basics.
In your relationship with God, you need to do your part, and God always keeps to His.
2022 will require you to know your goals and aspirations and what God has said concerning you.
To be fruitful and multiply in all your God-given assignments, hold on to His promises.
“But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV)
In 2022 you have to remember God in All areas of your life.
As you start this New Year, you need to return to your encounters with God.
Personally, my loving wife Olutoyin and I do appreciate you.
We thank you for your feedback, encouragement, and prayers.
As you obey God, we are persuaded that supernatural expansions are yours in Jesus’s Name.
Divine interventions will continuously be there as required.
Happy New Year.

The Real Impact of Christmas
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-12 (KJV)
Praise God, we have just witnessed another Christmas Day Celebration.
How should the message of Christmas affect you and me?
- It Stirs The Soul. It awakens our soul!!!
Our soul was deadened by our sin. The birth of Christ is telling us that Someone came to rescue us from the bondage of sin! - It Simulates Our Devotion. Remember the shepherds?
They were the people who saw and heard the message from the angel. After they listened to the news, they went to verify if it was true.
Understanding the message of God should simulate our devotion to Him! - It Substantiates His Love.
This is how much God loves mankind! He sent His Son on our earth.
To be one of us. ( To have fellowship with the Trinity) - It Seeks His Glory. The message of Christmas is God’s glory!.
Jesus came to the world to seek and restore God’s glory that man lost. Don’t ever forget this! - It Strengthens Our Hope.
Do we really need hope?
What kind of hope?
The hope that we can be reconciled with God.
This implies the truth that we have PEACE with God.
Let every one that meets with you know the impact of Christ.
This is the real essence.
Knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
It’s incredible how Real and Impactful the message of Christmas is!
