DON’T BE SELECTIVE WITH TRUTH
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17)
The truth of God’s Word is not subject to personal preference. You don’t accept one part and reject another. God’s Word is absolute truth; it’s complete, consistent, and dependable. Sadly, there’re those who say they don’t believe certain parts of the Bible, for example, the ascension of Jesus Christ. You’re not a Christian if you don’t believe that Jesus ascended to heaven.
The Scriptures clearly reveal that He was taken up into heaven. Recall the words of the angel to the disciples in Acts 1:11, “…Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” That wasn’t symbolic; it happened; it’s an undeniable reality: The Lord Jesus ascended into heaven.
Before Him, there was Enoch (Hebrews 11:5), and Elijah (read 2 Kings 2:9-11); these two were caught up into heaven. These were real events, showing you that God’s dealings are consistent and His Word is dependable. So, if someone questions one part of the Word, where does it stop?
If, as a Christian, you don’t believe that Jesus ascended to heaven, then it means you also don’t believe that there’s a heaven because one of the reasons we're going to heaven is what Jesus said in His prayer to the Father in John 17:24, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am….”
He wants us to see heaven and see that everything He told us was true. He wants us to come and actually participate in what happens in heaven and then come back with Him to rule the nations for one thousand years before the Judgment. Hallelujah! So, the Scriptures reveal that heaven is real.
Your life in Christ is not limited to this present world. There’s a future with Him. Therefore, believe the Word in its entirety; don’t be selective with truth. Don’t build your faith on theories or assumptions of men. Receive the Word fully and build your life on the whole counsel of God’s truth.
CONFESSION
Your Word, O Lord, is complete and perfect, absolutely dependable, and my life is built and established on the whole counsel of your Word. I walk in the light of all that you’ve revealed in your Word. Therefore, my life is excellent and full of glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
2 Kings 2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Acts 1:9
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

I'm making it a point of duty to keep laying Curse on Segun Daniel Olusemo anytime I wake up .
You see that boy,you will live a miserable life for the rest of your life!
You will never have peace 🙏.
Not all times that SILENCE is Maturity..
Because SILENCE is sometimes seen to mean ACCEPTANCE ( of guilt or narratives being peddled)!
WISDOM is most important...know when to be SILENT and when to TALK...
In all situations, DO NOT allow others control your narrative....
Be PROACTIVE to act ...do not delay for too long. And be WISE in response
I learn everyday...and two weeks ago Peter Okoye aka Mr. P made me realise, in this digital era of information virality.... keeping silence to damaging narratives for too long is not good!
It took him 10+ years to formally and properly tell his story..his TRUTH....and today he moved from a near CANCELLED Artiste to TOP RECKONING......
Dear @sheggzolu you can never win with Nigerians when someone else controlled your narrative in 2022 and all you did was maintain silence and allowed it to FESTER ...hoping TIME will wash it away....Naaaaa...it never did!!
Infact your silence was interpreted as GUILTY as charged and it got stuck!!
It is the ROOT CAUSE of everything you face online....the false and damaging rumours that erupt every now and then...the attack to your now defunct relationship..the cancellations you face even for the least error....IT IS ZERO GRACE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA TO YOU!
Listen up @sheggzolu
I do not know your truth...but my honest advise to you is....TODAY I feel the universe and high heavens are calling you to TELL YOUR TRUTH about your ex Gbemi!!
I believe your best platform should be with @Chude Chude Jidenwo. Get in touch with him...THE TIME IS NOW!!
GOD'S WORD MAKES YOU STRONG
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-11).
God's Word is very powerful. The Bible says it can build you up, and make you strong (Acts 20:32).
When you read, listen to, and think about God's Word, it helps your faith grow. It also reminds you of the wonderful blessings God has prepared for His children. The more you learn God's Word, the more confident and joyful you become. Just like healthy food helps your body grow strong, God's Word helps your spirit grow stronger every day.
So, take time to study the Bible and listen carefully when it is taught. God's Word will guide you and help you live a beautiful life.
SCRIPTURE READING -
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
SAY THIS
God's Word is working in me. It builds me up, makes me strong, and guides me every day. Hallelujah!

SEE YOURSELF THE WAY GOD SEES YOU
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people… 1 Peter 2:9
God wants you to see yourself the way He sees you.
Through Jesus, you’ve become the righteousness of God. This means you’re His beloved child, filled with His life and goodness. When you understand this, it changes the way you think and act. You’ll no longer feel small or afraid. Instead, you’ll live with confidence, knowing God is with you. Always remember that you belong to Him and carry His nature in you.
Think, speak, and live like the wonderful child of God that you are every day.
*📖SCRIPTURE READING*
*Isaiah 54:17* No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
LET'S PRAY
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for making me your righteous child. I see myself the way you see me, and I live with confidence and joy every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Speak Words That Align With God
📖Malachi 3:13
“Your words have been harsh against Me,” says the LORD...
God listens to the words we speak. In the Bible, some people spoke in ways that didn’t align with what God had said. They didn’t even realize their words were against Him.
God wants our words to agree with His truth. His Word says we’re blessed, strong, and cared for by Him. So instead of saying negative things, we should speak what God says. The Bible teaches that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
When you speak God’s Word, you fill your life with faith and victory. Always choose words that align with what God
has said in His Word.
📚Scripture Reading-
2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;”
Let's Pray
Dear loving Father, thank you
for teaching me to speak words that align with your truth. My words are full of faith, life, and victory every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
