YOUR LEGACY IS NOT FOR SALE

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. - (Proverbs 13:22)

READ: 2 Kings 20:12-19

You should always ask yourself this question, especially as you advance in age: "What will people say about me when I am gone?" The truth is that the way you are living your life now will determine what people will say about you when you are gone. This is why you must strive to create a good legacy and guard it jealously. You must never trade it for anything, no matter how enticing it may appear.

Beloved, your legacy will include the name you will leave behind after you exit the earth. While King Hezekiah was a good king, he left a bad legacy for his descendants. In (2 Kings 20:1-11), the king of Babylon sent emissaries to check on him, and he foolishly showed them all the treasures in his house and kingdom. His actions exposed his kingdom and consequently his descendants to the enemy. When Isaiah told him that the consequence of his foolish actions would be the captivity of his children and that all the treasures of his land would be carted away by the king of Babylon, he replied, "Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?" Surprisingly, he was okay with the captivity not happening in his time, but in the days of his children. His actions were clearly unwise. Hezekiah sold his legacy just because he wanted to display his wealth. His descendants would always remember him as the one who exposed them to the enemy and made them lose the kingdom. Today's memory verse tells us that a good man will leave an inheritance for his children's children. He will not deprive them of their inheritance or give them a bad name that they will be ashamed of. I pray that you will not open the door for the enemy to torment, afflict, or capture your descendants, in Jesus' name.

Every family that is battling one ancestral problem or another was exposed to it by someone in their lineage; do not be such a person. If you have done things that you are not proud of, and you know that those things can affect your children and their descendants, run to God for mercy today. Ask Him to cleanse you with His blood and rewrite your family's story. No matter how old you are, as long as you are alive, there is still hope of leaving a good legacy for your descendants.

REFLECTION:
What legacy are you leaving behind for your descendants?

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.

TOPIC: BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: - (Proverbs 1:5)

READ: Acts 18:24-28 (KJV)

MESSAGE:
In Yorubaland, where I come from, the elders have an adage that says, 'The lantern cannot see its own bottom.' What they mean by this saying is that, no matter how knowledgeable a fellow is, there are areas in the fellow's life that will be hidden from his or her view. This is why you must be willing to receive feedback from others who can see you more objectively than you can see yourself.

In Revelation 3:15-17, the Lord said that some people, according to their own judgment, believed they had everything going well for them because they were rich and appeared not to lack anything; however, by His own standards, they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.

If a person is too proud to receive feedback, people will see the fellow walking towards a ditch and leave him or her to fall into it. Proverbs 24:6 says that in the multitude of counsellors, there is safety. People who are open to corrections and feedback tend to escape many troubles, while those who think they know it all often stumble into avoidable problems.

Jesus is described as the wisdom and power of God in (1 Corinthians 1:24), yet when He came to earth, He sat under teachers, listening to them and asking them questions (Luke 2:46-47), and the Bible recorded that He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52). He was also open to feedback, as we see in Matthew 16:13-16, where He asked His disciples to tell Him what other men, and even they themselves think of Him.

In today's Bible reading, Apollos was already an established teacher of the word before he met Aquilla and Priscilla. When they heard him teach, however, they recognised that he needed further insight and knowledge of God's word. As a result, they took him aside to expound the way of the Lord to him more perfectly. Submitting to their mentorship and feedback helped Apollos become a better teacher of the word, who mightily proved to the Jews through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Saviour.

Beyond submitting to mentors and being open to learning and growth, how a fellow receives and processes feedback will determine whether he or she will grow or remain stagnant. Beloved, if you want to grow in wisdom, you must be willing to humble yourself to listen and learn from others. You should also ask the Holy Spirit for guidance at all times. I pray you will continue to grow in wisdom and favour before God and man, in Jesus' name.

REFLECTION:
Are you open to learning from others and receiving feedback?

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.

HE WHO THINKS HE STANDS 1

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. - (Luke 11:35)

READ: 1 Timothy 4:13-16

(1 Corinthians 10:12) says that any man who thinks he is standing should take heed, or else he will fall. That tells us that a person can be standing today and fall tomorrow if he or she is not careful. Overconfidence can make someone who has been standing in the Lord for a long time fall. In my 53-year walk with God, I have witnessed many people fall due to overconfidence. They believe that because they have been standing in the Lord for a long time, they are now above certain temptations, and typically, such a mindset would make them careless.

As a Christian, the devil is watching you at all times; if you become careless in any area, he can use that to bring you down. I have heard some men of God boast that they can be in the same room with a naked woman, and nothing will happen. My question is, why is a man of God in a room with a naked woman that isn't his wife in the first place? If a man of God puts himself in such a position, he is already on the verge of falling. I always tell my children that under no circumstances should a man have a female secretary or personal assistant. This is because the man will spend long hours working with the fellow, possibly into the night at times. If such a man places so much confidence in his ability to resist temptation, it may eventually become his undoing.

Overconfidence has also led many people to ignore the basics of their salvation. For example, some ministers of God believe that some Bible study meetings are now beneath them because of their anointing. Some others believe that they don't need to listen or take notes when someone they consider to be below them in hierarchy is preaching. Some even hold other meetings during praise and worship sessions. Actions like these show overconfidence and often lead to a fall.

Beloved, never allow yourself to become overconfident in your walk with God. Do not let any exploits that you may have done in the past distract you from following the basics of your salvation. You can never outgrow walking circumspectly, studying the word of God, fasting, and fellowshipping with other believers. No matter your level of growth in the Lord, you can't outgrow these things. I pray that the Almighty God will keep you standing in Him unto the end of your race here on earth, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:
No one can ever outgrow the basics of salvation.

OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS 2

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: - (Ephesians 6:16-17)

READ: Psalm 119:9-17

A believer who does not study the Bible regularly will not know the right way to respond to temptations, and hence, will keep falling in and out of sin. I know this because Jesus overcame all the temptations of the devil by quoting the Scriptures (Luke 4:1-12). From our memory verses for today, we see that after faith and salvation, a believer needs to take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Any Christian who does not study his or her Bible regularly is a soldier who is without a sword. The word of God is both a weapon of offence and defence against the temptations the enemy throws at you.

David said in Psalm 119:11:

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

The verse above tells us that to overcome sin, a person's heart must be filled with the word of God; therefore, you must keep studying the word of God and meditating on it at all times. Living according to the word of God sets us apart from the world and makes us sanctified vessels unto God (John 17:17). As you keep studying God's word and obeying it, you will discover that the things of the world that used to entice you are no longer enticing to you. When the devil comes to offer you those things, you will be able to respond, "It is written," and he will have to leave you alone for a while. God's word empowers you to be sensitive to the traps of the devil and overcome them. The more you immerse yourself in God's word, the more fortified you will become against the devil's attacks.

Proverbs 1:17 says that it is vain to spread a net in the sight of any bird. Just as a bird will not enter a net that it knows to have been spread to capture and kill it, God's word will make you sensitive to see the traps of the devil. It is your victory kit over satan's wiles. Do not neglect your weapon of victory; study your Bible constantly. Know God's word concerning every aspect of your life so that when the devil tries to deceive you in any area, you will know what has been written about it and be able to use that knowledge to shut him up. At that point, sin will no longer have any power over you.

KEY POINT:
God's word is your defence and victory kit over temptations.

J'ai jamais compris le concept des boîtes de nuit.

T'es assis à une table, t'as claqué 300 balles dans une bouteille de vodka que t'aurais payée 12 euros au Carrefour d'en bas, avec un cierge magique à 2 balles le sachet de dix chez Gifi planté dedans, comme si tu voulais faire cramer la mousse d'isolation façon Constellation.

Y'a tellement de bruit que pour dire un mot à ton pote t'es obligé de lui hurler dans l'oreille comme si t'étais sur le tarmac d'un aéroport. Les meufs tirent la gueule, campées sur leurs talons, à filmer des stories pour prouver à leurs abonnées qu'elles vivent leur meilleure vie. Tu peux même pas danser parce qu'un DJ suédois passe de la techno industrielle à 130 BPM et que t'es serré entre un dealer de Puff qui te fait du coude et une cagole qui hurle "C'EST MA CHANSON" à chaque morceau.

À la rigueur, quand t'as 17 ans et qu'il te faut un trou noir au Get 27 pour trouver le courage d'aborder Natacha, je comprends. C'est un rite de passage.
Mais à 30 ans passés, avec un crédit immo sur le dos, un crâne qui se dégarnit plus vite que le sachet de coke d'un député LFI et une gueule de bois qui dure maintenant trois jours pleins, y'a vraiment plus aucune excuse.

À moins que le vrai but ce soit d'oublier, le temps d'une soirée, que t'as échangé tes rêves de jeunesse contre le confort tiède d'un avenir balisé avec un salaire mensualisé.

Parce que le mec qui claque un SMIC en bouteilles un samedi soir, sa meuf bosse à mi-temps chez Sephora et rentre en covoiturage Blablacar. Il performe la richesse devant des inconnus qu'il reverra jamais, pendant que sa vie à lui tient dans un 39m².

Faut arrêter de croire que t'es P Diddy parce que t'as réservé un carré VIP dans une boîte le samedi.

La vraie richesse c'est cinq gosses qui déboulent dans ta chambre le dimanche matin et une femme qui règne sur son foyer plutôt que de ramper dans un open space climatisé.
