Children are Blessings – Rev. Emmanuel Abeke

Psalms 127: 3- KJV children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

You will not bow your head in shame.when the names of your children are mentioned.

Your children will not make you regret what you have done and how you have lost opportunities. Your language must change. Children are Blessings and inheritance in Christ Jesus!

For anyone believing God for children, you will receive your own reward. For those who already have but are having one challenge or the other, God will settle whatever it is by reason of today’s Celebration in the Name of Jesus Christ.

The children have rights to education and parental care/protection. …train up a child in the way that he should go.

The Creek interpretation means make a pathway for them to walk it!

Luke 2;40 KJV And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Your children have many paths so don’t be only committed to only one aspect of their lives. They have academic, spiritual, emotional, physical lives and therefore all.must be balanced.

Exodus 2:2 – 8 KJV And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.³ And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.⁴ And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

⁵ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

⁶ And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.

⁷ Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

⁸ And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.

Moses was born in a delicate time when a decree was made against male children. Every decree against the destiny of our children is commanded to be annulled in the Name of Jesus Christ
God will give you wisdom. On how your children. Should grow up and fulfill destiny in the Name of Jesus!

When you have done all you need to, God will take over from there! Like Mariam watched over Moses, God will send His Angels to watch over your children in the Name of Jesus! May God defend and preserve your children when you are not there in the Name of Jesus!

While Mariam was watching over Moses, the daughter of Moses came to bath in the river. O God the day that favour will.licate them, there will not be missing. God will position them in a strategic position in the Name of Jesus. May your end point be the beginning point for God in the Name of Jesus

For those looking for life partners and Jobs, God will.locate them. When the baby cried, Pharoah’s daughter heard him.amd went to the place . She saw him as a goodly child that should not die like others. What kill other children will not touch our children. May God make that difference in the life of our children in the Name of Jesus.

May the list compiled have the names of our children for admission and Jobs in the Name of Jesus Christ.

God knew Moses was going to be a deliverer and needed a capacity to carry out the Job and ordered her steps to the river! God wanted to place Moses where he will stay and fulfil destiny!

Joseph was thrown into a pit where there was no water and he survived…God ordered the Israelites and Egyptians at different times and he was bought over. God ochestrated it till he got to the seat of power. That ochestration

That ochestration you will need is hereby released. When your strength is low, Jesus will carry you in the Name of Jesus Christ!

ACTS 7:17-22 KJV But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds

May God cause your enemies and adversaries to become Mumu. Moses was nurses by his own mother and she ceased the opportunity to kndoctrinate him.

May our children not hear the voices of strangers in the Name of Jesus!

Are your children born again?

Mark 10:13 KJV “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.” … Mark 10:13, CSB: “People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.”

Suffer them to come means you enforce the tenets of our faith .. let them understand what you believe in. Let them embrace God and be born again. Whatever you see in your children, God will bring it to pass in the Name of Jesus Christ. Be careful of what you say over your children. Whatever you say will come to pass! Mind your utterances.

Jesus loves them. He wants them. The children will hear your voice. May God give you the voice they will listen to on the Name of Jesus Christ!

HOW DO YOU BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO KNOW JESUS
1. By your life. Your maximum will be the beginning point for your children. A maid help to get Naman healed of leprosy. In the mouths of our children, let there be deliverance, divine revelation and healing in the Name of Jesus Christ! Your children will fulfill destiny. Our children will be packaged for the future in the Name of Jesus Christ

Those trusting God for conception will carry their own xhikdren

My investment in my children will not be in vain in the Name of Jesus Christ

My children will be well nourished spiritually and physically in the Name of Jesus Christ!

The arrows the enemy has programme for our children is averted. They will not be liabilities in the Name of Jesus.

Prayer
We decree and declare that our children are blessed …they will fulfill destiny in the Name of Jesus Christ

Relevance in the Kingdom – Bishop Sunny Faith Ugbah

Luke 13:1-7 NKJV There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had [a]mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 He also spoke this parable: (A)“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it [b]use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 [c]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can (B)cut it down.’ ”

We are alive today because God preserved our lives  The people who have been killed or have passed on were not the worst sinners, but God choose to preserve us by His mercies.

God is very interested in fruitfulness. Fruitfulness is key to security, divine provision and divine supply. This is why he is telling us that having checked on the three for three years without fruits,it was ordered to be cut  down!

Gifts are not an end to itself…what are you doing with those gifts? God kept us alive to be fruitful.

God has given us all we have asked him for, what have you done for him?…  Will Christ have to ask about us: why does it use up the ground?’

God is saying that He is running out of patience! In Ephesus and Corinth and even in the UK, all that is left of the Church are just Monuments used for Worship many years ago!

God is a Business man and desires profit. Make yourself relevant to God through Soul Winning. I fight stagnation and come against stagnation in the Name of Jesus Christ! 

Beyond the outward things we do, showcase Jesus! Let your life be conscious of one fact: you are alive because God is interested in you and is expecting fruits from you.

Make Soul winning your business and watch God continue to water your life because you are relevant to God.

PRAYERS

Lord I don’t want to be a waste in my generation

Make me relevant for you and the Kingdom.

I present my whole life to you O Lord that from this day, my life will be productive and fruitful. My life shall not be in vain!

Souls shall be my desire. Lord help me! Let it not be said of me that I am not of any eternal value! Help me to draw men to the kingdom. This is my heart desire.

I will be a soul winner wherever I am Lord. Make me to be productive wherever I am. Let nothing take your place Lord.

Holy Ghost consecrate my heart. Stir up.my faith with expectations in the forth coming Hour of Visitation. When you visit, Lord Yiu will not meet me unprepared, you will not be looking for me in the place of my service.

Stir up.my Heart Lord in the Name of Jesus!

Lord dig around me, fertilize me with all I will require to be fruitful for you in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Keep prospering me Lord. I will not lose my blessings or be qualified

Let your help not depart from.me. Do not change your mind against me, for without you I am.nothing

Let me not be disqualified or be absent from.my seat when you visit me.

We shall remain relevant and blessed. Heal the sick. Lord and resume your Blessings. Don’t again for your children Lord in the Name of Jesus Christ!

May your Angels go ahead of us to prepare the hearts of men for the great harvest in the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen.

The Communion
Lord every infirmity is declared consumed by the communion.

Let it be the body and blood of Jesus. His body was broken that ours will be whole, His blood was shed that ours will not be shed. Do it Lord and take all the glory in the Name of Jesus!

Believers Conduct in the Society

We are are believers. How is your conduct like? A believers Conduct begins from the home. The Bible says Train up a child in a way that he should go…

Mathew 5:13-16 KJV Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. … [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Light cannot be hidden. For preservation, salt is used. The Bible does not want us to be ignorant of the devices of the devil. The flesh was burried and is ressurected with Jesus. Our character speaks volumes about us.

1 Timothy 4:12 KJV Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

As an ambassador, your character should speak for you. Wherever you are, people are studying you as a book

Hebrew 13:5 NIV: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. …

 Hebrews 13:5, NLT: “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.

Our Lord Jesus declares that Christians are the salt of the earth

Salt is whitish and some must maintain purity. We must be a pure representative of God
James 3:13 KJV Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” …

James 3:13, NLT: “If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.”

Good works in the kingdom of God
1. Peter 2:11-12 KJV Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Are you a good ambassador? As salt is used for.lreserbatio , we are to preserve the world from all vices . If we need God’s word, all will be well with us

Uncommon Favour is not blind -Rev. Dr. Mercy Ugbah

Rev. Dr. Mercy Uche Ugbah

Anieowo  etie nte Jehovah, Ami mmoyom, Ami nkwe

If uncommon favour is not blind, it has legs and cañ move, it has hands and can work,. It has nose and can smell faith, it has mouth and can speak.  The question is what is it looking for before it can enter a family?

1. Total Obedience. God sends His blessings and it has all the senses.

Luke 5:7-8 NKJV

So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, ² and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. ³ Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

⁴ When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

⁵ But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” ⁶ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. ⁷ So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. ⁸ When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!

Peter obeyed God totally, notwithstanding his frustration of havng toiled all night! Life is bad cause and effect. Success that is real.cannit be duplicated,.

There is only one Bible and it has to be followed. Peter left everything and followed God. Doubt your doubts but follow God totally!

You are a master piece and God is a very good business man. He wants gain in all He does. He created you for a purpose and there is a space for you to occupy in this world… the sky is too large for two birds to collie!

Sit down on your case and you will find your answer.  Don’t try to live out another man’s destiny.

Obededum did not argue when the Ark that just killed Uzzah  was directed to be kept in his house and three months later, men envied his blessings!

The woman of Zeraphath thought she will die of famine but she obeyed the man of God and was saved.

I pray that God will enter your own boat, when He does, things will be different! There were two boats when Jesus arrived!

The man at the pool had no man to help him to the pool when the Angel troubled the waters… total obedience healed him!

Peter was respectful and patient. He was already tired, but sat respectfully in the boat till Jesus finished preaching … Respect has left the dictionary of many and we have become too familiar! No man can benefit from.an anointing he or she despises.

Until your blessing reaches or rubs of others you are not truly blessed! Peter was able to call on his neighbours to enjoy the blessings too!

Peter was loyal and had no idea that a tornado miracle.was on the way!

Mary the mother of Jesus told the disciples: whatever he says to you, do it!

Between that pot and the wine was total obedience!

Loyalty to.authority, even the authority at home at work! It does not matter that he or she does not meet up to your standards of holiness, righteousness etc.

Children obey your parents, wives obey your husbands, husband’s do not intimidate your wives

A  grateful heart. Ingratitude is a Sin! Remember to thank everyone who helps you in one way or the other.
African men, learn how to say thank you! When the woman has done everything Inspite of her career and work, encourage and appreciate her!

Peter went back to say thank you. God never used anybody to dump him afterwards

Be disciplined. It takes discipline to.do.most things right.

No risk, no reward. If you don’t want to be ruffled, then don’t expect any reward.

Do things differently not do many things differently. This will make you jack of all trades and master of none. Be creative

Unity. Without unity, nothing works.

HINDRANCES

1. Tradition. As it was in the beginning… Yiu cannot always do the same thing always and expect a different result. Rewire your mentality and move with the pace of life in righteousness.

2. Fear of the unknown. Most of the things we are afraid of never happens. God has not given us the spirit of fear!

3. Excuses. Don’t always believe in giving excuses to evade responsibilities. If all fingers are not equal, who made yours the smallest?

DECLARATIONS

May Jesus enter your boat, You will not be stranded in life May all you have heard be appropriated to your life in the Name of Jesus. 1Pet5:10. There is a God that settles. That God will settle you in the Name of Jesus! Amen.. Most

Facts Vs. Truth -Evang. Becky Udom

Evang. Becky Udom

You looked past my sin, my guilt, my shame and poured your love
You, You looked beyond me, oh
You looked beyond me, oh

And I’m the one that You have shown mercy
You have shown me mercy
You have shown me mercy

I’m the little girl, the lost sheep
Lost in sin and filth, unworthy, yet You poured Your love
Poured Your love on me

I was naked and cold
I needed a covering fashioned to your taste
Yes, You have dressed me in Your righteousness alone

You Looked past my sin, my shame, my guilt, my shame and poured your love
You, You looked beyond me, oh
You looked beyond me, oh

Seize the moment…you don’t know when your Visitation will come…

Change your mentality…what you say is what you see!

A proud woman cannot receive anything from the Lord. Your husband remains the head notwithstanding your height and hierarchy in life. Humility brings greatness. To stand out, be humble! Don’t be a shallow woman!

As Christians we are called to trust in the trust not facts.

2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV For we walk by faith, not by sight.

The fact is visible… you have headache, but the Bible says let the weak say I am.strong! Whose report do you believe!

In Luke 5, Peter choose to believe the truth, not the fact that he had toiled all night without a catch, professionally, there was no fish during the day… He choose to believe the truth, he choose to believe the Master!

You degrees make you analyse and fault God’s Word! You are killing your destiny with your own hands! The spiritual controls the physical!

What is the connection. The truth is Christ and the fact is the devil! The person that is mocking you today will be shocked at where God is taking you tomorrow, because greater is He that is in you! Time is a leveller!

…and ye shall serve the Lord thy God and He shall bless the works of your hands …ours is to serve and God’s is to bless!

A vibrant person in the hospital heals faster than a slow or dull person who is struggling to have a pity party! Tears do not change any situation. We may be age mates, but we are not grace  mates. Stop comparing yourself with some other persons.

If you are not grounded in the word, you will cry for a long time!

The devil will always position a mocker to make you cry! Hannah cried every day she went to Shiloh, and every year, Peninnah is producing. Your sacrifice today is the reality for tomorrow..When you mock someone, you give him a ticket for a breakthrough! Don’t be satisfied with your attainment in life…you still have a long way to go!

It is not matter how men are mocking you today, your tomorrow will be greater than today.

if men do not MOCK YOU, how will God MAKE YOU? If anything is making you shrink or cry…that is your time of your visitation!

One Day! It will not take years for your story to changer!

You have been serving, dancing and singing …it is now time to settle with the word of God!  God promised to confirm His words with signs and wonders. He said we should out Him in remembrance…Hold God to His word and refuse to let go!

That covenant of negativity is broken in the Name of Jesus!

When you hold onto the horn of the altar, no devil can stop you! Only Yiu can stop yourself in destiny.

What you don’t work at, can never work out Stop wishing! Stop envying anyone who has made it. Ask her how she got there

You cannot be doing everything and forget to take care of your own body! Take care of yourself first to be able to take care of others!

Check your menu and spice it out with something different! Life turns in the direction of sacrifice . If you don’t like the way your life is facing you can turn it by visionary sacrifice by digging deep!

What does not cross your line can never cross your life!
Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us

Never ask God for what you can do, ask Him for what He alone can do. Don’t ask for peanuts, ask for bubbles. State the purpose. If the purpose is to build the kingdom, it will come in torrents.

If you are not paying tithes, you are cursing yourself (Malachi 3:8-10 NKJV Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.)

God is set to bless you, turn your story around in the Name of Jesus Christ!

I declare to you prophetically, that something different has happened to the women in this Church!

I see God Turning your mourning into dancing!

Prayers
Since you have been a partaker of this programme, it does not matter how men have hurt you, God is asking to forgive today…rededicate your life to Christ.

May Jehovah Himself step into every matter that concerns you in the Name of Jesus.

The enemy will have no foothold, over your careers and health, your businesses anymore

Take delivery of all that concerns you today. Whatever you have come to dig deep, take delivery of it now – your testimonies, breakthroughs, miracles and may this day be a reference point to your change in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Whatever is your desire, receive that blessing from the Lord this day financially, morally, spiritually, blessing in your careers, professions and elevations in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Diligence, A Cure for Obscurity – Evang. Becky Udom

Evang. Becky Udom

I see a new path created in CGMI and many were tropping into it, while others were busy doing nothing! Don’t write yourself off when God has not written you off!  If you refuse to give up, God will bring you in. Don’t give up woman!

If you can align to the will of God for your life, God will take over all that concerns you.

If you forfeit your respect for constituted authority, God will bypass you.

2 Peter 1:5-11 NKJV And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Barrenness is not just about the fruit of the womb. A person can be barren of knowledge

Many are seated where there are and there are plenty potentials in you that are yet to be explored. This because you have refused to stir it Up and you are satisfied with the status quo.

David was a pastor, musician, prayer warrior, fighter…he used his potentials to the fullest!

What about Esther? A mere house-help who did exploits in a strange land, a land of her captivity! We have to stir up our brains and force it to work! Quit complaining and lamentations!

You will not be a push over! Men will not override you! Gid has promised to meet you at the points of your needs. You must be somewhere for God to.meet you! Mary the mother of Jesus said to His disciples: whatever he says to you, do it! Mary knew Jesus carried greatness inside of him and she needed to force it out! What are you doing to bring out the greatness in your children?

The disciples did not argue when they were asked to fill the pots with water, draw it out and serve! Today we will be questioning such directives. We will be complaining…child of God, quit complaining!

No diligence man or woman can be converted. No witch or wizard can successfully cover the destiny of a diligent person. Knowledge is power!

You are sewing…one style every year, one dress daily… There are great potentials hidden in you and you are still begging!

It is an error for a Christian to keep borrowing and even refusing to pay back!

Add to your life, neatness, and to neatness character .

Let your husband not leave the house with a wrapper across your chest and return in the evening to see you with the same wrapper. You will disgust him! Dress up even at home…remember that he meets with women outside, neatly dressed and perfumed, who also envy your position as his wife!

Favour will take you to where character will not sustain you! You will defend God with your character! You should not be too big to say Good morning or I’m sorry!

Your work should not make God’s work to suffer! You don’t sow in a storm. You plant before the storm comes. Favour will lift you but character will bring you down!

You attend meetings when they are closing! Are you the only one working?

Add value to your life wear a new garment. Add to your beauty, Add to your greatness…

I see God giving you a new garment in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Pay your tithes regularly. Your tithes can turn your story around… Through prosperity shall.my word be spread abroad. When you remember God, what you are looking for will be a walk over!

Prayer
Father help me. I cannot help myself
Fill me up till I overflow

Take over Lord 🙏

Deep Water: Sacrificial, but Profitable Living – Evang. Becky Udom

Evang. Becky Udom

Lord the days of living a shallow life is over. Back me up holy spirit, fill me Lord in the mighty Name of Jesus!

Luke 5:1-6 NKJV So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

Peter toiled all night and caught nothing!

Ephesians 3:13-21 NKJV Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, (S)according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Deep means extending far down from the top or surface…to the very extreme.

Whatever you do at the surface, yields no result.

When a cube of sugar is dropped inside a glass of water, if it is not stirred, it remains tasteless as you drink it, but when a spoon is used to stored the water, the taste becomes sweet.

As you begin to stir up your destiny under God, your destiny becomes as clear as crystal. you shall return with your testimony in the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen.

Jesus Christ did not stay where He was. He did not stand by the seashore when Peter packed up his nets, disappointed and discouraged…there is a woman here who is tired …you believe you have done it all without result…

Don’t be tired or discouraged. God will bring you out.

Guess why you are tired and feel like throwing in the towel… God is about to bring you out!

If you don’t stir the food till it is done, your children will be hungry. Don’t walk in shallow waters!

Why did Jesus not preach from where He was but choose Peters boat?

He said to Peter; “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

He didn’t understand and was lacking up when the Master arrived and said move a little bit to that place you left and “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

Peter did not argue, but said: “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Jesus was preaching the gospel a d was in the process stirring the waters! Every word that came out of the mouth of Jesus was DEEP!

In case you have been stirring without result, open your mouth wide and God will fill it up

He said to Peter; “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” in the same place where he first thrust his net and caught nothing. I see God giving you a net breaking miracle after this programme in the Name of Jesus Christ!

I refuse to live a shallow life. It is time to get that net breaking testimony. You have cried many secret tears and still walk out smiling!

After tonight,  I see God giving you a net breaking testimony, causing you to maintain greatness in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Legal Matters for the Woman – Deacon Barr O. B. Akpan

Legal matters are for those who have the capacities and legal mindedness.

If a woman has not obtained legal status, she must be ready to take benefits from this seminar.

As a marriage counselor, I will first establish a foundation that two are to become one, and this teaching is not intended for the woman to go back home to establish an independent government, such that would be inconsistent with the word of God.

Legal Matters are matters of Law that has to do with the interpretation of the law and the relevant portions as stated by the law. Today I will circle in on the legal rights available to the man and woman.

These rights are not just given by government, but by God. They include:

Rights to be free from violence  own property, participate in politics, earn income and own property etc .

1. Right to own property: matrimonial and family rights to own property.

In a recently decided case, ownership of property during the subsistence of marriage belongs to the two parties, irrespective of whose name is on the deed or who paid for it

As God Himself hates divorce, a departing wife forecloses the right ….the landed property ….3 buildings, and uncompleted building belongs to the two…She ruled.

A woman has rights to her family property. S.42 of the Nigerian Constitution forbids discrimination of any kind, including circumstances of birth

2. Right to acquisition of Property. The wife has a right to acquire property in her name. As a Christian, this must be with the consent of both parties.

3. Right to Education.  Every woman’s value should be enhanced through education.

Many provisions have been made to encourage the female child to be as rugged as the male child

4. Right to matrimonial home. This includes even after the spouse is late. However there must have been a valid marriage and customary rites paid.  However such a marriage will be regulated by the laws and customs of such locality.

There is also a recognised marriage under the Act.

5. Right to Fair Hearing The law gives you a right to be heard, even when you are supposedly guilty. The police must dispose your offended and show you either a man search warrant or warrant of arrest – whichever is applicable. There must be fair hearing even in your own house.

When a relative is arrested, follow up to know the location. If you know how to write, when you get to the police station, insist on writing your statements personally.

5. Right to Health. No one is to force any treatment on you.

6. Right to Bodily Integrity. Rape is a crime and no woman should be raped, and no woman should be forced to undertake female genital mutilations. No one is to be tortured and subjected to forced labour or slavery. Anything that is degrading is criminal.

7. Right to Legal Contracts. Don’t take things for granted. Always try to document your transactions. Entering into an agreement forces your neighbours to be sincere. This will also sustain the relation instead of waiting to have damage control
8. Choose your Next-of-Kin appropriately. Consciously do this rather work and leave your benefits for strangers at the detriments of your family members

9. Write a WILL. You can also appropriate your property intervivos.

Doing Business in Deep Waters – Bishop Sunny Faith Ugbah

Bishop Sunny Faith Ugbah

Deep waters may be refreshed to something that is hidden or mysterious.

This is comparable to when the water is shallow and everything is bare.

In deep waters, it is profound and mind-blowing. It is also refreshing. The reason most people do not want to get into the deep is because most times it is ackward and dangerous.

The shallow waters can be tested in one leg. When the water is deep, you test it with both legs. This may have informed the idiomatic expression which presents deep Waters as one in a troubled situation.

Gold and other precious things on earth are found in the deep! If we must access the best that God has for us, we must step out of the shallow and normal life…out of the shallow life into the deep.

Proverbs 20:5 NKJV Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, But a man of understanding will draw it out.

What separates the ordinary from the extraordinary is information.

Proverbs 18;4 NKJV The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook

The ocean here is a reservoir of knowledge inside yiu that has not yet been explored.

Psalms 42:7 NKJV Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

Only birds of the same feather flock together.

Four Things Needed to Navigate into the deep.

1. Faith. Faith is the only currency needed to launch into the deep. It may not fit into the status quo or what obtains…. Like Peter, a professional Fisherman, he knew that fishes only come out during the night, but saith nevertheless, at thy word! Faith does not engage in arguments. Faith just believes! Mary said to the disciples: whatever He says to you, do it! Until you rest on God’s word and step out by faith, you cannot launch into the deep! Have faith in God and in yourself. You are not useless, but useful to God and yourself. Deep waters is not for the fearful and faint hearted.

2. Be rooted in the word of God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Many carry the Bible about without knowing the content and the powers behind it! Believers don’t read the Bible! God is only bound by his word, it by your tears! No man can walk in the miraculous without knowing the word of God. Ezekiel 31:7-9 NKJV Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches,
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.
8 The cedars in the (A)garden of God could not hide it;
The fir trees were not like its boughs,
And the [a]chestnut trees were not like its branches;
No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches,
So that all the trees of Eden envied it,
That were in the garden of God.’

You will be the envy of this generation in the Name of Jesus

3. Revelation of the Holy Spirit. We live in a world where everyone goes out every morning, looking for who to cheat! In this kind of world, the Holy Ghost is your helper, partner, confidant and when men try to swindle you, He gives you revelations. The Holy Ghost will help you! Even in relationships, He is able to help you. 1Corintjians 2:9-14 NKJV But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the (K)spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned
Things are packaged spiritually and can only be discerned spiritually. When God backs you, what kills others will not kill you!

Psalms 107:23-28 NKJV Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25 For He commands and (A)raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26 They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
(B)Their soul melts because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And [a]are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.

Don’t be afraid of deep waters. God will bring you out in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Who says you cannot aspire to be more?

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness there of

From today, You will not be a liability but an asset. You will not be a welfare project in the Name of Jesus.

The word you have heard today will not stand as judgement against you. Heaven will be proud of you

The Pathway to Total Well-being (Part 2) – Bishop Sunny Faith Ugbah

Pathway simply means process. Many people like the outcome but do not want to go through the process .

Many things we enjoy today go through processes that are not appealing to us. This is how life is programmed to be.

Only those who appreciate the process can enjoy the outcome.

A wise person will prefer the way to make money rather than just receiving the money.

A miracle is good because it is God’s divine intervention, but even the miracle also requires a process!

…if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth… This is a process. If you want to enjoy the things of life, find out the process!

God does not encourage laziness. We must therefore sit down and receive God’s word.

Only the word of God can fix our lives.

The Zoe life – the stem life, the foundational and altimate life which is in God

The Bio life. Is an extensive life… A life well spent…the life span
The Pseche life – the natural.lifr – Spirit soul and body
John 6:63 NKJV It is the Spirit who gives life; theflesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

God’s word impacts the ZOE life .. when we stay out of the word we are missing the most important thing, which is the word of God.

Religion, position education without life amounts to nothing!

Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of (A)life.

I pray for you today that no man will steal God’s word from you.

2. Brokenness

Jeremiah 18:1-4  NKJVThe word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the [a]wheel. 4 And the vessel that he [b]made of clay was [c]marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make

Until there is a brokenness, no man can be made whole!

Jeremiah 1:5- 6 NKJV Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, (A)can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, (B)as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!

It is not the fault of the porter because God is perfect.

It is impossible for God to finance our errors. When we step out of His covering, He cannot support  us.

God will not bankroll your projects that are not His
Temptations, trials, persecution are all part of the process

Isaiah 18:4 NKJV For so the Lord said to me,
“I will take My rest,
And I will [a]look from My dwelling place
Like clear heat in sunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Isaiah 45:9 NKJV Rain(A) down, you heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the Lord, have created it.

Most times, we interpreted the Bible to suit us, but it does not change the identity of God!

Isaiah 45:9 NLT argue with their Creator.
    Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
    ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
    ‘How clumsy can you be?’

God’s ultimate purpose for us is to bring us to a place of h wellbeing where are Bio-life are well made totally whole .

James 1:2 NKJV James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:

James 1:12 -14 NKJV 1
12 (K)Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive (L)the crown of life (M)which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

No child of God whomlives God will praise the devil or commit iniquities.

Hebrews 12:6-7,11  NKJV My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”

7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

11 Now no [e]chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it

Every believer has to go through the process

The purpose of the chastening is to train us. Whatever God is training you on right run away from the process!

Stop running commentaries on people’s lives when you see God passing them through a process!

for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts. No man amounts to.amyyhing in life without going through some form of training. Whatever it is shall work out for your own glory

Proverbs 17:3 NKJV . The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts

Proverbs 17:3 NIV  The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.

God trains His people through the furnace.

Isaiah 48:10 NKJV
God can only mend us after a brokenness!

James 5:10-11 NKJV   (A)My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and (B)patience. 11 Indeed (C)we count them blessed who (D)endure. You have heard of (E)the perseverance of Job and seen (F)the end intended by the Lord—that (G)the Lord is very compassionate and merciful

Hebrews 11:35, 38 NKJV (BD)Women received their dead raised to life again.
Others were (BE)tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrectionAnd all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be (BL)made perfect apart from us.

These are Heroes of faith who were slain, afflicted and tormented in FAITH!

If God is passing us through a process, He has a purpose.  There may be many contradictions in your life, just hold on. God will come through for you in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Psalms 66:10-12 NKJV For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
¹¹ You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
¹² You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

May these come through for you and I in the Name of Jesus Christ

1 Peter 5:10 NKJV But [a]may the God of all grace, (A)who called [b]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [c]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

At the end of the day, you will stand on the podium.in victory in the Name of Jesus Christ.

PRAYERS

Lord I am.ready for this journey and I submit myself to you to direct me. I trust you are the driver of my destiny, you are the Lord and I trust you.

I release myself to you and pray that in all these things, may I not fail you. I receive Grace to be settled after I have gone through all these trainings.

Take me through it Lord. I am ready to be trained
I pray for all who are going through one tribulation or situations right now.

None shall die in the wilderness of life. None shall die unfulfilled. All your children shall get to the mark you have set for us and everyone shall be decorated  silence our mockers, make diviners mad and make the cultures starve to dead.

All their sponsors shall be disappointed because we know whom we have believed. We shall testify.

The spirit of just men made perfect will welcome us when the time.comes in victories.

The Communion

As we partake in the communion for ourselves and on behalf of our lives ones, may we received healing and all that Christ accomplished for us at the Cross in the Name of Jesus Christ
Life is in the blood.

Let the life of Christ impact in our lives and give us TOTAL WELL-BEING in all our endeavours. Let your life flow tonus in the Name of Jesus. Amen
