Listen to my father. No sympathy needed at all. We are very all right. Satan was badly hit this couple of weeks in Nigeria. This sponsor is too small to shake us
Thank God he usually speak about his facial palsy as a testament of his Christian Journey. That you disagree with his teaching doesn't mean it is fine to mock him of his deformity.
If you call yourself a believer and you side VDM of his callous behavior, you are of all men MOST MISERABLE.
The testimony shared here might look like a lie but please don’t underestimate what God can do!
Pray for angelic assistance and favor even as you wake up

HE SPEAKS PEACE 2
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. - (Colossians 3:15)
READ: Mark 4:35-41
Storms can come in various forms and with varying degrees of intensity. I recall an incident some years ago, when I was travelling from Lagos to London on a plane. When we were about to land at Heathrow Airport, the captain informed us that there was a problem with the door at the belly of the aircraft, and we all understood it to mean that the landing gear wouldn't be able to function, and in essence, the pilot was going to have to crash-land the plane. There was a storm on the plane at that moment because confusion and pandemonium broke out all around me. That day, I discovered that rich people do not want to die. I recall seeing a very wealthy man in the first-class cabin who carried a walking stick that was encrusted with diamonds at the top. Since we departed Lagos, he had been getting up, pretending to go to the toilet every now and then to show everyone his expensive walking stick. However, when he heard the captain's announcement, he really needed to use the toilet.
I tell you with confidence that even if you are anointed, you will become frightened if you are told that your plane cannot land. Therefore, I turned to God and said, "Daddy, I embarked on this journey to do Your work. You didn't tell me when I was leaving to say goodbye to my family that it would be the last time I would see them." Then He replied, saying, "Don't worry, son. I'm only delaying the plane's landing because as soon as you land, people will not let you rest, and I need to talk to you first." God's word brought peace to my heart, and the plane continued to circle around the airport while God was speaking to me. When He finished talking to me, the faulty door opened, and the plane was able to make a normal landing. Despite how tough the situation was, I was at peace because God had spoken to me.
Beloved, when you have an intimate relationship with the Prince of Peace, you will not be troubled by the things that trouble others. You will not run helter-skelter at the hint of trouble because His word will bring peace to your heart. No matter how terrible a situation may be, there is always peace to be found in God's word. Turn to His word in such instances, and it will keep your heart at peace while turning things around for the better.
REFLECTION:
Do you have an intimate relationship with the Prince of Peace?

WEEP NOT
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; - (Psalm 30:11)
READ: Luke 7:11-16
Sometime ago, I was praying during a programme and God said, "Open your eyes." I was almost going to say, "Lord, but I'm praying"; however, I obeyed. As I opened my eyes, I saw a woman in the congregation, her face soaked in tears, weeping as she prayed. Then, God said, "Go and tell her, 'Weep not." I moved towards the congregation, approached her, and tapped her as I said, "God said, 'Weep not." Her eyes brightened, and I returned to the altar to continue praying. A year later, that same woman stood before me, along with some other people who wanted me to pray for them. When it was her turn for me to pray for her, I greeted her and said, "Sister, how can I help you?" She opened her mouth and could only mutter, "Jesus". I asked her a second time how I could help her, and she only said, "Jesus" again. I asked her a third time, and she said the same thing. I began to get impatient because there were other people in the queue. Eventually, she got herself together, and she told me that she was the woman whom God sent me to tell not to weep the previous year. She then told me that she was crying that day because she had been married for over ten years without any children, and her husband's relatives were urging him to send her packing if she didn't give birth to any children soon. As she shared her story, I immediately understood why she found it difficult to speak at first; she was holding a baby in her right hand and another in her left. God turned her seemingly hopeless situation into an occasion for rejoicing. I pray that God will turn any seemingly hopeless situation that might exist in your life around and fill your mouth with laughter, in Jesus' name.
Beloved, if you have surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, my Daddy is saying to you today, "Weep not," just like Jesus said to the widow of Nain in today's Bible reading. Every time Jesus says, "Weep not," it is because He wants to perform a miracle. No matter how long you may have been weeping, your time of rejoicing has come. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will surely come in the morning (Psalm 30:5). I decree that your days of rejoicing are here, in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, thank You for putting an end to my weeping and for bringing me into my days of rejoicing.

FEAR NOT
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. - (Isaiah 41:10)
READ: John 20:19-23
Some theologians say that if you search the Scriptures carefully, you will find out that the phrase 'fear not' was mentioned in one form or another 365 times. Thus, if you are afraid of anything at all, God has a word for you for each day of the year: fear not. Romans 8:37 says that you are more than a conqueror through Christ, who loved you. The primary reason you should not be afraid is that God loves you. Child of God, do you know and believe that God loves you? Are you assured of His love? If you are, fear not!
After Jesus Christ rose from the dead and visited His disciples, He told them not to be afraid. When He visited them, they were sorely afraid because He had been crucified. Today's Bible reading tells us that they shut the doors where they were gathered because they were afraid. One of the beautiful things about God's visit is that when He's ready to visit you, no door can keep Him away, because He Himself is the door of the sheep (John 10:7). Whenever you are afraid, He will visit you to say, "Fear not." In John 14:1, Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." When you believe in the Almighty God, you will not have any cause to be afraid. Even when fear knocks on the door of your heart, God will visit you to reassure you of His love. I decree in the name above every other name that you are free from any torment of fear you may be under.
(1 John 4:18) says that fear has torment. Wherever fear exists, oppression, suppression, and limitation will also prevail. God does not want you to live under the torment of fear. Instead, He wants you to live by faith because where there is faith, fear disappears. When you are confident that God is your helper, you will not be afraid of what any man can do to you (Hebrews 13:6). When you are assured of God's love and care, you will not be afraid when you face a storm because you know that God will never leave you to perish.
Beloved, fear not. God loves you, and He will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). He cares about you, so cast your cares and fears upon Him and put your mind at rest.
KEY POINT:
God loves you; fear not!

REMAIN UNDER HIS COVERING 2
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: - (2 Corinthians 2:15)
READ: 2 Kings 5:20-27
Years ago, when I was a younger Christian, many people would come to me and say, d say, "Young man, we see the way you are on fire for the Lord. Make sure you don't backslide." Whenever I heard that, I would smile because I had made up my mind that I would not be a fool and return to the fear, sickness, and bondage Jesus took away from my life when I became born again. I thank God for His grace, which has kept me all these years. Remembering where God brought me from has been one of the ways I have stayed on course. When you constantly remember what Jesus saved you from, no one will need to preach to you to remain in Christ. I pray that you will not yield to satan's temptations to depart from the cover of the shadow of God's wings, in Jesus' name.
Anyone who departs from the cover that the shadow of God's wings provides is open to all kinds of sicknesses and diseases. Today's Bible reading tells us the story of Gehazi, who decided to leave the shelter of God's wings. Within a day, the fellow who could have ended up as the next prophet, because he was Elisha's servant, ended up becoming a leper. Sometimes, it only takes a brief moment for people who decide to leave God's covering to forfeit all the blessings they have enjoyed under His cover. I pray that your story will not move from glory to shame, in Jesus' name.
People who wander from the shadow of God's wings expose themselves to death. Proverbs 21:16 says, "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead." When people are in the congregation of the dead, their lives stink. People who decide to backslide have accepted an open invitation to a stinking life. They have decided to invite rottenness and disfavour into their lives. No matter how beautiful a house may be, guests will avoid it once a rat has died inside and begun to decay. They might not want to wine or dine with the owner of the house until the pungent smell has been taken care of. In (2 Corinthians 2:14-15), however, Apostle Paul describes the believer as a sweet savour of Christ.
Beloved, when you abide under the shadow of the Almighty, you will continue to increase in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52).
KEY POINT:
Wandering from God's covering is extending an invitation to shame, sickness, and death.
