God's Got my Back

By Sis Bethel Adewale 

What does it mean for someone “to have your back”? For someone to have your back it means they are there to support you unconditionally. 


They’re there for you without complaint, supporting you in your time of need. And they’re not for their own selfish, self-gratifying reasons, but because your well being to them is foremost in their mind and heart. 

Who has my back? I would firstly say my parents have my back all the time. 

Secondly, I can always count on my sister to have my back. And thirdly, I would say my closest of friends have my back. My real friends, true friends. 

But who else has my back? God. God will always have my back. He will always be there, by my side. He watches jealously over me. And underneath me are His everlasting arms. I am shielded and encompassed round-about by His presence. 

Same goes for you too, and ALL of us. Deuteronomy 31:6 says “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” God will never leave us nor will He forsake us. He has our backs, and He’ll always be there to protect us. Hallelujah.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.

Divine Perfection

By Sis Olamide Oladejo

Divine perfection is the spiritualized in the energy of God, God is really at work on our behalf. There is the full assurance that He will be at work to complete that which HE has commenced.

Whether it is visible or not, the reality is that all human beings have one challenge or the other. When we talk about perfection in our lives, we are usually coming from a background that something is imperfect and needs to be perfect.

What does the Holy Bible say? Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth   me, thy mercy, o Lord, endureth forever: forsake not work of thine own  hands”. Here, the Psalmist appreciates that he is the creation of Jehovah Elyon (the God of creation) just like you and I.

Therefore we  have a duty to remind God to perfect  His work in our lives, but because  we know that we may have taken steps that have worked against what we desire or some evil forces might have vowed that our joy will not be full, we need to ask for the mercy of the LORD just like the psalmist.

Did God pause in the middle of creation? NO, so whatever He starts, He will not leave it or suffer it to be marred. Phil 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus”

God is concerned about every details of our lives not only because He knows everything but also because He loves us and wants us to experience what is best for us. Halleluyah.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.

For Divine Performance, Be a God Pleaser

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

One big concern young people have is being accepted by their peers. As we reflect back on our childhood years, we might laugh at how we changed our appearance in order to fit in the crowd.

Unfortunately, some of us also did things against our own conscience. The young will start hanging out with the wrong people.  But 1st Corinthians 15:33 says, “Evil company corrupts good habits.” They might think their so-called friends would like them more.

The fact is you can never please everybody, period.  Fortunately, there’s only One Person that we need to seek the approval of. Regardless of what other people say or do, God will never leave you nor forsake you if you are in covenant with Him.

Jesus said in John 8:29; “…The Father has not left me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” Obeying God can also bring us favor with people.  Proverbs 16:7 says, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even His enemies to be at peace with him.”

Galatians 1:10 (NIV) – “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? …If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” Matthew 6:1 (MSG) - “Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don’t make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won’t be applauding”

Brethren, ladies & gentlemen, children of God, Vessels of Mercy, let us strive to please God rather than men. If you’re tempted to be a people-pleaser, the sermon of today shares four good reasons to quit worrying so much about what people think of you.

You will have good success this 2016.
 Remain blessed.
Shalom.
