“There was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha (which in Greek is Dorcas). She was always doing kind things for others and helping the poor” Act 9:36 New Living Translation.
You life can only continue to speak through lives that you have changed and impacted.
A Chinese proverb says “If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity grow trees. If you want one hundred years prosperity, grow people”
I was in an uncle’s burial last Saturday. The Pastor asked the people who this man sponsored to stand up and come forward. It surprised me that more than 50 people came out, they were wearing the same dress. This people don’t bear the name of the man but yet he fed them and sent them to school. I told someone sitting beside me that this man did not die but lives on. His life shall continue to speak through those lives he touched.
Beloved, what are you doing with what God has blessed you. Your financial, material and spiritual involvement in someone’s life can change that life forever.
I challenge you to grow people, the reward will last forever.

Unknown Commitments
“And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death – we and our children!” Mathew 27: 25 (New Living Translation).
I pray for you that every yoke of unknown commitments over your life be broken in Jesus name.
A Pastor told us the story of one of his members who unknown to her before her birth had been committed to the idol of her father’s house. The commitment was that if the baby was a boy, he would become the priest of the idol but if it was a girl, she would marry the priest of the idol. The baby turned out to be a girl and consequently at the age of 39, no man has ever asked her hand in marriage. Thank God because the Lady was set free by the power that is in the name of Jesus and today she is happily married.
The Jews committed themselves and their children to the death of Jesus Christ. The consequence is still in their midst today despite the fact that the death of Jesus is God’s design to save the world.
Are you going through strange experiences, troubles or difficulties as a result of commitments made on your behalf by your parents or ancestors? The power in the name of Jesus will set you free. Read Col 2:14-15 and pray this prayer point: I cancel every unknown commitment and covenant working against my life with the blood of Jesus in Jesus name.
It is well with you.

Hearing God
“And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers” John 10:5.
If you are not hearing God, then He is a stranger to you.
God can choose to speak to you through any means. You cannot decide the way God would speak to you but you must be having consistent fellowship with him to hear and know His voice. If He is a stranger to you despite the fact that you are born again, you cannot know His voice.
Most husbands and wives can recognize the voice of their spouses even among the crowd. It was not like that before they got married. But as a result of dwelling together, they became familiar with one another.
Beloved, are you spending time daily with God? Don’t be too busy to fellowship personally with Him because your ability to hear and know His voice depends on this.
Remain blessed.

If your faith says yes……
“Beloved, if our hearts condemns us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” 1John 3:21-22.
If your faith says yes, God will not say no!!. Throughout the scripture, God never denied a man whose mind is made up; whose confidence is unbroken. See Hannah (1Sam 1), Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego (Daniel 3), Esther (Esther 4), Jacob (Gen 32).
The story of the Canaanite woman in Mathew 15:21-28 is a powerful illustration of this truth. When she presented her request, Jesus did not answer her a word. Most people would have given up at that level, concluding that God is saying no or asking them to wait. This woman continued and the response of Jesus should have swept her off her feet but the woman’s confidence that she would receive her request was unbroken. Jesus concluded that her faith was great and gave her the miracle she desired.
Beloved, do you need a miracle, divine intervention, power of God or what? If your faith says yes, God will never say no!!!!!.
It is your turn to celebrate in Jesus name.

Dealing With Endtime Wickedness
“ And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt with flattery: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and take action” Daniel 11:32 (KJV2000)
You will not fall into the hand of the wicked in Jesus name.
A beloved Sister sent to me on the email, the testimony of a Brother who God delivered from the hands of kidnappers after several days. I have heard several stories like that and I pondered in my heart the type of covenant that these wicked people have made with the devil in order to transport innocent people into thick forests through witchcraft. The Bible is not silent about this kind of occurrence in this end time. (2Tim 3:1-5)
Now for a Child of God, the covenant with God, the power and the wisdom of God to deal with end time wickedness are in place. Christ, the seal of the new covenant, the power and the wisdom of God, is in us. (1Cor 1:24). However, we must activate the covenant, power and wisdom of God in our lives through the following actions.
1.Holy Communion.
2.Fervent prayer.
3.Meditation on the Word of God.
4.Acting on the Word of God.
Brethren, wickedness is all over the world but we don’t have to fall victims for the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
It is well with your soul.

DUE DEASON
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” Gal 6:9.
When you are due, you cannot be denied.
Your good deeds (prayer, giving, service to God, love to others, etc) are seeds, when your due season comes, you have them back in bountiful harvest. But when the harvest seems delayed, you must not give up or get discouraged on sowing your seeds for your due season shall surely come.
In Nigeria, when you plant a corn seed you get your harvest in 3months but when you plant a Cocoa seed, your harvest will not come until after 3 to 4 years. The value of the harvest of the Cocoa seed however is always more than the value of the harvest of corn seeds in 3years all together. So a Cocoa farmer must not be discouraged because his harvest shall surely come in due season.
Beloved, don’t be weary in well doing because your harvest shall surely come in due season.

Help Is Available
“Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and
he saved them out of their distress” Psalm 107:13.
Help is available for you. The remaining six months in
this year shall be spent in joy in Jesus name. In the
game of football, the second half determines the
winner, what you could not do in the first half of
this year, The Lord will give grace to do in this
second half.
A Child of God may be challenged but he cannot be
swallowed up. Our Fathers of faith went through
troubles and distresses but God delivered them. (Psalm
34:19). What is your trouble? Is it child bearing,
marriage, pressure at work, paying your bills, attack
from the enemy, health challenge or what? God will
help you and give you testimonies.
3 things to do when in distress:
1. Cry unto God. Psalm 107:13.
2. Wait for Him. Job 14:14.
3. Do whatever He tells you to do. John 2:5.
I ask God to bring you out of all troubles in Jesus
name.
