Mighty Men of Great Wealth

By: Bro Richard Somade.

God  reveals His  over-riding desire for man to prosper in 3 John 1:2 where He said “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thou soul prospereth”.

Isn’t it then curious why there are poor Christians?  Deuteronomy 8:18 says “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth”.

The word “get” is a verb; an action word - a doing word. Therefore, whereas the Lord commits to enabling us with power to prosper, enjoy good health and have all good things abound unto us, yet He wants us to take the action of getting it.

Prosperity is readily available in God but ONLY for the taking/getting. This is not a passive action of folding arms and waiting for prosperity to happen. The act of getting wealth does not, however, import hard-work alone.

Sheer wit and grit can never make anyone rich. Rather, God purposes that we take the conscious action of following His conjunctive prosperity principles of Obedience,

Work and Giving, to access His illimitable well of prosperity. Isaiah 48:17 says, I am the Lord thy God who teacheth thee to profit.

There are principles for becoming wealthy and the Lord is willing to teach us. It is my prayer that God illuminate our minds with His word and grant us the will to follow, that we may enjoy

His covenant of prosperity, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed. Shalom.

Lest we Forget...

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

 Deut. 8:18 – “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”

Ponder this…what if, God forbid, you woke up tomorrow & you were unable to move your hands and legs. You couldn’t go to that job, school or business?

What if, you eventually lost that job or the business collapsed due to your inability to attend to them?  Then, you’d remember God, your heavenly Father, to fast & pray to.

You’d now start praying for health, strength & power…to go to your job/business to make wealth. But while you had the power & health, did you remember to thank your God; obey, wor-ship and honor Him with your wealth & sub-stance?

Did you pay your tithe, in obedience to His command? Just 10% to His storehouse and you keep 90% for yourself.

Or you’d rather He took His power from you, so you can still pay your 0% tithe but now keep 0% for yourself?

God constantly had to re-mind His people not to overlook His goodness to them and the same applies to us.

The ultimate source of everything is God, even the power & strength to go out & get wealth. “…In Him we live, we move and have our being…” from Him come all other things. If you forget your source, you will also be forgotten.

A river that forgets its source will dry up. We will not be forgotten nor dry up, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed. Shalom.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is

By Pastor 'Tayo Adewale

The Spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of righteousness. God’s desire is to fill us up with His Spirit.  Ephesians 5:18 (AMP) confirms it -“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.”

It is a command. All we need is to empty and open ourselves unto Him for His infilling. We know that we don't deserve it, but we thank God that our righteousness is in Christ Jesus.

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” – 2nd Cor. 5:21. God never alters the robe of righteousness to fit man; He changes the man to fit the robe.

There are some things you will see where the Spirit of the Lord is present.
- There will be freedom, freedom from ignorance, bondage, etc
- There will be divine direction
- Acts 1:8, power, boldness, restoration, revelations.
- God’s presence with His people. God’s protection of His people.
- There will be cleansing of His people.
- The judgment of His people.
- Divine enablement of His people.
- God’s gracious activity in the assembly of His people. Acts 4:31

We can't do anything without the Holy Spirit, our prayer everyday should be the one that David prayed in the book of Psalms 51:11 – "Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me”

If we live another day without the Holy Spirit’s control in our lives, we have only ourselves to blame.  Brethren, empty and be open to the Holy Spirit today and let Him fill you up, and you shall be free from every bondage, timidity, ignorance, sin, in Jesus Name.

Remain on Top!

Remain blessed. Shalom.

The Power in His Name

By Deaconess Florence Oyedeji

We use this phrase in prayer a lot, but how many really understand the full impact of what it means to say "In the name of Jesus"?

What is the power of someone's name? It is a word or expression in which someone is represented to us. When I mention or hear a name, it brings to mind the whole man, what I know of him/her and also the impression he or she has made on me.

The name of a king includes his honor, his power, and his kingdom. His name is the symbol of his power. And so, each name of Jesus embodies and represents some part of the glory of the Unseen One.

The Name of Christ is the expression of everything He has done and everything He is and lives to do as our Mediator. Matthew 28:18, says "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."  Knowing the meaning of this word gives us a much greater idea of what Jesus meant when He said "all power." He was talking about all authority; He was given the privilege and right to do as He pleases, and the right of governmental authority over everything in heaven and in earth.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Happy New Year - From Our Pastor's Desk

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale

January 2017 Our Month of Divine Perfection.

Welcome to this our new Month of Divine Perfection, in Jesus name.

Perfect means being complete, & without defect or blemish. Precisely accurate or exact. Flawless.

Psalms 138:8 – “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me...” This is God’s promise to YOU, as a heavenly-minded believer that everything concerning you will be perfected, complete without any flaw. It is God Himself that promised, not you, not your Pastor, not your parents, husband/wife, not by your works, strength, gifts, talents, power, intellect, wisdom, not by your logic.

It is the Lord who has begun the good work within you; it is He who has carried it on; & it is He that will complete & perfect all that concerns you. The Lord also intends to perfect you. Yes, YOU! Not only the things concerning you, but also you, yourself.

The Psalmist says in Psalms 18:32 – “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect” God desires that your character be perfect, your relationship with Him be perfect.

In this Month of Divine Perfection,  He will most assuredly, beyond a doubt, bring to perfection your faith, your character.  He will perfect His purpose in your life. He will perfect your calling;

He will perfect your future. He will perfect His promises concerning you. He will perfect your spirit, body and soul.  Be blessed this month.

You shall be “…perfect and entire, wanting nothing”, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Walking in Sunshine

By Deac. Kemi Epedi

There are various places in the Bible where the verse begins with an action word –Rejoice, Be Bold, Believe, Pray without ceasing, etc.

These passages make us understand that God is giving us a direct instruction; and that He expects a corresponding response from us. So when you see ‘Arise and shine!’ the implication is ‘You arise!’ and ‘You shine!’ And the appropriate response from us should be “I will arise and I will shine”.   Why is it important that we respond this way?  Because embedded in us is the anointing and empowerment to fulfill it.

So when you refuse to respond appropriately, you deny yourself the opportunity to walk in power and victory in that specific area of your life. When God says Arise, He is not considering your own ability; He is considering the power and anointing that is saturated in that command, ‘Arise’.  The reality is that life will knock you down.

However, you must make up your mind as to whether you will stay down or get back up again. Even when you are standing, God still expects you to arise.  Why?  Because if you do not arise, you cannot really shine; and the world cannot come to your light.  

You will have good success this 2016.

Be Strong in the Lord

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Divine strength is the power we need for living. It is the desire of God to strengthen us - Psalm 29:11 – “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace”, but the plan of the devil is to weaken the children of God.

When you are weak and weary because of the challenges of life, you need to call on God for divine strength. When God has blessed you so much that you can’t even cope with the workload required of you, you need divine strength as well. When troubles and trials seem to overwhelm you, you need the help of the Most High to strengthen you so that you can carry on.

Ephesians 6:10 says “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” The reason we need to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" is that satan wants to get us away from that. It is our power base. He wants to separate us from God, because the moment he gets us away from Him, we become an easy prey.

Thus, the devil wants to put a wedge between God and us.  The only power that can defeat satan is the power of Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord. Stay close to Him. Never let anything come between you and the Lord.  You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.

Shalom
