By Sis Elizabeth Halimat Olunlade
Is serving the Lord important? Peter seems to think so, as he addresses the matter in 1st Peter 4:10-11 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
” On the journey towards spirituality and the “perfect relationship with God” many people face obstacles. One of these many obstacles is laziness. Some believers are too lazy to serve, and therefore do not receive the benefits and blessings that many who put effort into their belief do. They wonder why their lives are not going on as planned, because they are doing just enough to stay on good terms with God.
However, God does not want us to do “just enough” He wants us to go out of our way and serve Him with a joyful heart. The above verses and many others tell us that we receive our gifts from God to serve others and bring Glory to Him. Serving is definitely not about us receiving glory or attention; it is for God to receive the glory. Amen.
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Knowing that You're Royalty
By Bro 'Sumbo Adefila
Many contemporary Bible believing Christians sometimes doubt their heavenly royal status. But the Bible tells us in Romans 8:37 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. If indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share with his glory”.
It means that as Christ is King and reigns, so also shall we be made Kings and we will reign forever with Christ. Imagine what it means to be a king; remember all the responsibilities that Kings shoulder, all the respect they command, the pleasures they enjoy, and the treasures they own.
Most important of all, Kings are Judges of their domain and are the decision makers Psalm 2:10 “Now therefore, O kings, show discernment, take warning, O judges of the earth”. Therefore, we as Bible Believing Christians need to start to own our responsibilities and realize our royal status.
It is time for us to believe that we are more than conquers, that we are the most important elements in this earth and we have dominion over it. Romans 8:38-39 says _ “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord”.
Have you being suffering from inferiority, unawareness of mind, or lack of courage? Remember 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation…” Brothers and Sisters, prepare yourself because a date has been set for your coronation. You will surely possess your possessions in Jesus name.
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

The Coronation of King David
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
After God removed Saul “He raised up David to be their king, of whom He testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will” - Acts 13:22. God had said the same in 1st Sam. 13:14; God told Saul through Samuel that “the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you (Saul) have not kept the LORD’s command” .
So Samuel the priest went to the town of Bethlehem and visited a man called Jesse and his family. He asked to see Jesse’s sons, and one by one they all came in to stand in front of him. First of all the oldest son, Eliab, came in. He was tall and strong and good-looking, and Samuel thought to himself, “This has to be the one God has chosen!”
But, God said to Samuel, No. “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart”
So the next son came in, and Samuel said, “This isn’t the one God wants either.” All seven sons passed and Samuel didn’t choose any of them. Then there were no more.
So Samuel was a little bit puzzled. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. Soon David arrived; he was young, ruddy, strong and good looking, and God said to Samuel,
“And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he, king of Israel”
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.

Polished Daughters
By Sis Adetola Akinseye
Psalm 144:12: “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace”
When some- thing is polished, it means it is smooth and glossy, refined, cultured or elegant, flawless, skillful and excellent. Having the right heart will help us to be relevant in life and in ministry.
We should understand and know the difference between being a good woman and being a great woman. You should not use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as the way you fix your hair, or the jewelry you put on, or the dresses you wear. Instead, your beauty should consist of your beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.
Having a right heart means a change must occur from your inside before it can manifest to the outside. God is more interested in you being transformed from the inside out.
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Children of Light in a Dying World
By Sammy Mbila
In this month of our “SUNRISE AND SUNSHINE” we must make a self determined effort to examine some core concepts about the Biblical Children of Light.
The word of God tells us in John 8:12 that God is Light! therefore if God is light everyone under God’s shadow is under the light and can safely be called a child of light. Mathew 5:14 says we are the light of the world so as Children in Dominion Mercy Seat we can boldly proclaim ourselves as “CHILDREN OF LIGHT” because we are God’s children before becoming the children of our biological parents.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…….” And in Psalm 139:13 the word of God tells us that “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb”. In Mathew 19:14 Jesus said “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these”. In Luke 18:16 and Mark 10:14 Jesus made the same plea that Children should be allowed to come to HIM.
We must therefore examine some important assurances and commands from God for Children of Light in Dominion Mercy Seat.
We must:
1. Be a “Timothy” to our teachers and parents. Philippians 2:19-20
2. We must be a light to our friends in School especially those who do not believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Isaiah 49:6B
3. We must remain chosen. Isaiah 49:7
4. We must not fellowship with unbelievers. Ephesians 5:11
5. We must readily forgive. Mathew 18:2-4; Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.

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.

Light in the Night
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
There are many biblical interpretations of night. 1st Thessalonians 5:5-8 tells us that sins are committed in the night or darkness - “For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled” Night time is generally an unpleasant time.
It is a time of sadness and weeping for some (Psalm 30:5), wearisome to the afflicted, lonely, favorable to the purpose of the wicked, wild beasts go forth in search of prey during the night, time of stumbling, of spiritual darkness, seasons of severe calamities, of spiritual desertion, even death.
Night time could be bitter, hellish, unpalatable, and painful. But thank God that those in their nighttime are not left alone, they are not hopeless. Zechariah 14:7 says – “At night time it shall be light”. There is light in the dark tunnel.
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear no evil, for He is with us; His rod and His staff they comfort us. Are you going through a nighttime experience right now?
Things are just not working your way; you weep inwardly…Arise, shine, my brothers & sisters, for thy light has come. “At night time it shall be light”
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
