NOT BY MIGHT

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. - (Zechariah 4:6)

READ: Ecclesiastes 9:11-12

What a person will become during his or her sojourn on earth will not depend solely on the fellow's efforts. African elders have an adage that says, 'Hustling and bustling does not translate to wealth.' This is true because, for instance, dockworkers who offload cargo from a ship from sunrise to sunset typically would earn only a fraction of what the Chief Executive Officer of a wharf, who sits in an air-conditioned office, sipping tea and merely signing documents, would earn. At the end of a month, the fellow's salary might even be more than what a hefty, hardworking dockworker will earn in a whole year!

Today's Bible reading makes it clear that the fact that a fellow can run swiftly does not mean that he or she will win a race, and the fact that a fellow is strong does not mean that he or she will defeat an enemy. The passage goes on to say that bread is not to the wise, neither are riches to men of understanding. This means that a fellow's advanced level of education alone will not determine how wealthy he or she will become.

I recall that I was in Redemption Camp (now Redemption City) sometime between 1983 and 1984, spending time alone with God, and crying to Him. I said, "God, I'm not asking for clothes, a car, or a house. I was minding my business as a lecturer at the university when You asked me to come and serve You. I agreed, and I really want to serve You; however, I need power to do Your work. I don't want to be an ordinary pastor; I want to excel." In desperation, I added, "God, it is either You empower me, or You take me home." My prayer touched Him, and that night, the entire campground shook due to an earthquake that sent tremors as far as ljebu Ode, a town several kilometres away. The Lord visited me and empowered me with His anointing to excel.

Beloved, you need God's anointing to excel. It is God who gives power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), it is only His anointing that can teach you everything you need to know (1 John 2:27), and it is only through Him that you can do all things (Philippians 4:13). This is why you must cry out to God to anoint you just as I did several years ago. I pray that my Daddy will empower you to excel, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT:
Dear Lord, please visit me and empower me to excel, in Jesus' name.

@FabrizioRomano If Enzo leaves, Chelsea collapses.
Without him, this team is average at best and belongs in the bottom half.
They will finish below 10th again, and it will be hilarious to watch.

HE WHO THINKS HE STANDS 2

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - (Psalm 139:23-24)

READ: Matthew 7:21-23

It is one thing to stand for Jesus, and it is another to keep standing for Him until the end. To stand in Christ until the end requires God's help (Jude 1:24), and you must consistently enquire from Him to know how you are standing. (2 Corinthians 10:18) says:

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

Many people commend themselves based on their own standards, when, in truth, they have already fallen. God knows those who are still standing in Him; His foundation is sure and He will not allow anyone build falsehood upon it (2 Timothy 2:19). Today's Bible reading tells us that on the last day, many people will approach God with confidence, thinking that they ought to be in heaven, but He will send them back and call them workers of iniquity. They will try to defend themselves using their own standards of judgment, which may include the wonderful works they did in God's name, but they will still be rejected.

Prophet Isaiah thought he was standing for God until he visited God's throne room and realised that he was a man of unclean lips (Isaiah 6:5). Beloved, never assume that you are standing in Christ; consistently examine yourself by His standards to ensure that you are still in the faith. You can do this by constantly weighing your actions and attitudes against God's word. For example, how do you react when you are addressed in a manner you consider disrespectful? When people praise you, do you enjoy their praises and bask in pride, or are you quick to redirect them to God, the giver of the gifts you are being praised for? When there is an opportunity to serve, do you avoid it and demand to be served because of your position and achievements, or do you quickly humble yourself, as Jesus did, to serve others? Would you rather have things your way all the time or allow the Holy Spirit to have His way? God's word is the mirror with which you can always check whether you are standing in Him or not.

James 1:23-25 urges us not to be hearers of God's word alone, but also doers. Don't be like a man who sees his blemishes in the mirror and fails to correct them. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the areas you are not walking as uprightly as He desires, so that you can make necessary adjustments immediately.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to stand in You until the very end.

Archbishop should go and contest election for president and lead Nigeria to promise land

[Hon Henry Shield @HonShield]

Archbishop Onaiyekan is bigger than Tinubu in pedigree, education, exposure, character, leadership and integrity.

It is only in Nigeria that a character like Tinubu will have the audacity to talk back at such a globally revered man.

E.A. Adeboye is a Pastor and not politicians in Carson.

[EJIKEME🇳🇴🇳🇬 @ejykmykel1]

In a time we wanted men of God to speak to people in power, Pst. Adeboye told us that the Commander in Chief has done his best but the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria went to Aso Rock and told the President, you have not done enough. The difference between business man and men who are serving with no profit in mind has been spotted.

If Pst. Adeboye who may have more poor congregations and high number of people suffering from the consequences of failed governance in Nigeria will open his eyes and tell you that the President has done his best, I think as his member you have no justification to attack any spokesperson of the President unless you have renounced your membership.

After all you wanted was just two days break from your stress and God gave you plenty days now you are complaining. When God's gift (children) become stress to you, that is the reward.

[BSAT Properties @BSAT_Properties]

I lied to my husband that I had a seminar with my boss . I only told him that so that i could be out of the home resting and relaxing my self from the accumulated stress in my body

I told him I would be going for a seminar in my place of work which lasts for three days . I have a 10months old baby and two years plus . So the stress was too much for me

I checked in a hotel and paid for three days lodge leaving the children for my husband to take care of

So when I was sitting by the pool side a man came to accompany me .I didn't know him .So we just started gisting and that was all

I didn't know an informant that took the picture of I and the man and sent it to my husband.i didn't even see any body that knows me there not to even guess who might have done the evil work .it's not even a near by hotel or anything

When he called to ask where I was .I told him at the lodge where our seminarian lodged us. I didn't know he has called my boss to verify .

So he sent the picture of the hotel I was and also a picture of me and the man and the response from my boss that there's not any ongoing seminar . I didn't even know how he got my boss's number

I immediately dressed up and checked out of the hotel to home

My husband insisted I followed a man to lodge . He kept showing everyone the pictures of i and the man sitting . It's not even like I and the man were sitting close or anything .We were just sitting beside ourselves and there were little space between us we weren't close at all

He threw my laugages out and when I called my mum to come and beg him he started insulting her that if he was her son would she had come to beg him .He shouted at her and my mum left in shame

As the rain was heavy he didn't allow me to enter it see my kids

My boss on the other hand asked me to stop working that what I did was a big implication to him that if anything happened to me and I diedd there that he would have been implicated because that was what I told my husband and it could lead him to life imprisonment of what he is innocent of .I begged him but he insisted that it's a big implication

When I called my brother and explained to him .He said my explanation wasn't sensible to him and so he can't defend me that he's a man also .He asked that even if I wanted to do that I could have taken my 10months old baby along that he would be a fool to beg on my behalf that my explanation doesn't make any sense that if I needed a break I could have told him and stay at home without doing anything

Is that even possible? To be at home and not doing anything? My husband that even when I'm sick he won't help to wash dishes clean the house ,I would get well and continue from where I stopped cleaning

My explanation to people doesn't make sense to them. And I'm all here with my truth .

This happened on Friday and till now I still didn't know who snapped me and gave him information.The hotel is not a nearby hotel and Moreover it's not a hotel that I have been to before maybe I would have said someone has been monitoring me

He is becoming unapologetic and he doesn't even see any one . I'm at my mums place but I'm so sad and restless

My mum is even angry with me that I made him insult and embarrassed her

He insisted that a man carried me there .The picture he said the man pecked my cheek was a lie .The man saw a skin tag (that back dot ) on my neck and touched it then asked me if it wasn't painful in which I told him I have had it since I was a child .The person captured that place and made it look like he was kissing my neck

The man in question I do not know him . He's a total stranger.I don't understand what is going on

I want to see my children I miss them .I went to their school today only to be told they didn't come to school

Please help me post for an advice
Thanks

TOPIC: OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS 1

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. - (2 Peter 3:18)

READ: Titus 2:11-12, Hebrews 2:17-18

Yesterday, I discussed how you can avoid temptations by staying away from people, things, or places that may tempt you, and generally fleeing every appearance of evil. I also established the fact that everyone will be tempted at one point or another, as Jesus Christ Himself was tempted in all points (Hebrews 4:15). Today, I will explain how you can overcome temptations, just as Jesus overcame all the temptations that came His way.

The first thing you must take note of is that God will never allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. - (1 Corinthians 10:13)

When a temptation comes your way, you must know that you already have the strength that is needed to overcome it. The reason people fall to temptations is that they do not use the strength that God has made available to them. They place great focus on the shiny things the devil is tempting them with instead of the strength and grace that God has given them to overcome such temptations.

A man of God once came to me and said, "Daddy, I don't know why I keep falling into adultery with some girls in my church. I usually don't know what I am doing until I am through with the act." I responded to him, saying, "While you are about to remove your clothes, you know that you want to do something bad, but instead of stopping you decide to focus on the 'pleasure' the devil is putting in front of you instead of listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit that is telling you to stop in that moment. Sometimes you even go as far as locking the door to ensure that even if God wants to send someone in to stop you, it will not work. That is why you always fall. Listen to the Holy Spirit anytime He says, 'Stop.'"

Beloved, use the grace that God has made available to His children to stop them from falling into temptation. There is always a way out of temptation; listen to the Holy Spirit, and take the way He shows you. Do not let the devil have victory over your soul.

KEY POINT:
Always use the grace that God has provided for you to overcome temptations.

A 4 storey building in Ajuwon, Ogun State, reportedly sank into the ground just like that. Instead of collapsing sideways, the lower floors gave way and sank vertically, leaving only the uppermost part of the structure visible above ground.

Sadly only those residing at the top floor survived this tragedy🤦‍♂️

[The Word Of GOD @RCCGworldwide]

AVOIDING TEMPTATION

Abstain from all appearance of evil. - (1 Thessalonians 5:22)

READ: James 1:12-16
All human beings will face temptations at different points in their lives. Even the Lord Jesus Christ was tempted in all points while he was on the earth (Hebrews 4:15). If the devil could tempt Jesus, then no one is above temptation. Despite this, however, certain temptations can be avoided.

James 1:13-15 says, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." This means that if there is any lust in your life, you must confront and overcome it; otherwise, it can be used to draw you into sin, and sin brings death. To choose life, you must mortify the works of the flesh by the help of the Holy Spirit (Colossians 3:5). However, even as you're mortifying your flesh through the help of the Holy Spirit, you must avoid people, places, and things that may tempt you. For example, if a man knows that he struggles to be faithful with money, he should not accept responsibilities that would put him in charge of other people's money until he has successfully mortified the lust for money through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, temptation is like a bird; it can fly over your head, and you may be unable to stop it from doing so. However, you can prevent it from building a nest on your head. If you let it build a nest on your head, then it is only a matter of time before your head is filled with its poop. This is why it is better to walk away from situations or things that can tempt you, because when you give in to temptation, you might soon realise that it has taken over your life. At a time when some pastors under my watch had motorcycles, I forbade them from carrying ladies on their bikes. This is because the close physical contact that occurs during such motorcycle rides might sow a seed in both of their hearts that may germinate into something dangerous in the future.

Today's memory verse instructs us to flee every appearance of evil. Child of God, immediately you sense any form of temptation around you, flee!

KEY POINT:
Flee every appearance of evil!
