Some people are so relevant to the work of God that if they are absent on a service day, everyone will notice.

If you are not so active that people can easily notice your absence, then you need to do better.

“This is not to say that you must go around trying to show everyone that you are working. However, your impact must be felt in the department where you chose to work.”

Memorise: And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: -Acts 6:5

How impactful have you been in your local assembly?

When you help someone, and you go back to tell the fellow, "Remember how I helped you that other time," you are indirectly trying to make them your prisoner.

You must note that it is God who ordained for you to perform that good deed for that fellow. He already planned on doing it, you were only privileged to be the one He chose to use. -Ephesians 2:10

God does not share His glory with any man. -Isaiah 42:8. Don't try to contend with God over the good things He is doing in the lives of others through you.

“Don't become a pain in somebody's neck or a source of remembering their shame just because you once helped them.”

Memorise: Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of me. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. -Matthew 6:3

The best promotion anyone can have is that which comes from God; nobody can take glory for such. -1 Samuel 16:1-13

When God begins to promote a man, there is not telling how high He can take him, because His arms are everlasting. -Deuteronomy 33:27

For God to choose you for promotion, you nee his mercy -Romans 9:15, and to obtain mercy, you need a broken and contrite heart. -Psalm 51:17

“He said in Acts 13:22 that He had found a man (David) who will do all His will. This is the kind of person God will promote. If you are like that, then you have become a candidate for divine promotion.”

Are you totally sold out to the will of God? Have you been doing all His will?

Memorise: But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. -Psalm 75:7

God made the decision to use you for that assignment from the foundation of the world. He chose you before He said, "Let there be light" in Genesis. -Ephesians 1:4

This is why you should be humble because you didn't choose yourself (John 15:16). You are not chosen because you are educated or connected, it is the exact opposite. *-1 Corinthians 1:27

Even if it appears as if you are wise by human standards, the moment you surrender all to God and begin to live strictly by His standards, the world will begin to see you as a foolish person. -1 Corinthians 1:26

“I believe that right now, God is talking to you concerning this because of how high He wants to take you. If you listen and become humble, then He will lift you, but if you refuse to humble yourself, then you will be abased. -Matthew 23:12”

Let pride disappear from your life completely!

Memorise: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. -Matthew 23:12

Father, thank You for the gift of the institution of marriage. Thank You Lord for the gift of companionship.

Father, I thank You specially for all the marriages of Your children in my church, community and across the world.

*Father, please let Your joy fill my marriage and all the marriages around me, in Jesus’ name.

Lord, by your mercy, please replenish whatever is lacking in my marriage, in Jesus’ name. Just as Jesus replenished the wine at the wedding of Cana; let every good thing that has gone dry in my marriage be replenished, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please let Your wisdom abound over me, my spouse (or would-be spouse) and in all the homes around me, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please bless all Your children’s marriages with godly children who will grow up to serve You, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please let Your peace which passes all understanding reign in every marriage that is experiencing a storm, in Jesus’ name.

Father, let all Your children that are of marriageable age receive marital breakthroughs, in Jesus’ name. Please help them make the right choices according to Your will for their lives, in Jesus’ name.

Father, please uproot every plant you have not planted in my home and in all the homes around me, in Jesus’ name.

Father, never let the will of the enemy prevail over my marriage. Whatever plans the enemy has concerning my marriage, let them fail, in Jesus’ name.

Lord, please never allow my spouse and I to do anything that will offend You. Please, Lord, lead us and guide us in all that we do, in Jesus’ name.

Your personal prayer points for your marriage and other marriages and homes around you.

MEMORISE: Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: -Romans 15:5

God expects you to work (2 Thessalonians 3:10), but not hard labour. When he beckons on you, it is an invitation to rest. -Matthew 11:28-30

One of the reasons you are reading this now is because God beckoned on you; meaning "Destiny is calling you"

The first thing you are to do when He beckons is to take up His yoke, in other words, make His desire your concern, and pursue the things He pursue (winning souls).

“Just in case you think soul winning is only for evangelists and pastors, please study Matthew 28:19-20 carefully. All followers of Jesus Christ are commissioned to make disciples of all the nations, and this includes you.”

Memorise: Thant the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. -1 Samuel 3:4

Prayer: Father, like David, let the zeal of Your house consume me so I can fulfil my destiny.

When God carries a person, He also blesses the fellow. -Mark 10:16

Being blessed by God is a summon to all the forces in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth to assist you to succeed. Even demons will be summoned to assist you when God is carrying you -Exodus 19:4

If you want God to carry you, you must become like a child, otherwise you will be too heavy for him to carry.

“God will only carry children. This means that you must be humble, obey His word, not hold grudges, and have faith in Him like a child that believes whatever his father tells him.”

Memorise: In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. -Isaiah 63:9

The secrets of people's successes lie in the things they do daily. If you can find those things and do them, you will also produce similar results.

Our God is not partial; the success He gave to that fellow you admire, He can give to you too if you will do the needful. -Romans 2:11

In a book, you can learn within one hour things that took a man 70 years to learn; and put them to use; there's no need for trial and error. This is one of the beauties of the Scriptures. -James 5:10

You should however not that Jesus Christ is the ultimate model to be transformed and conformed unto. All emulations must be in line with God's will and directives.

“List at least three people whose results you want to replicate in your life and begin to study the daily habits that got them the results they got.”

Memorise: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. -1 Corinthians 11:1

God doesn't take follow-up lightly at all. He said anyone he put in charge of feeding the sheep fail to do so, they are invariably scattering the sheep, and there are woes in store for such persons. -Jeremiah 23:1-2

God is never satisfied with you just preaching to sinners. Beyond encouraging them to confess their sins and give their lives to Christ, He is more interested in you following them up until they see Him in glory. -Acts 15:36

New converts always have lots of questions to ask; be there to answer their questions and explain the scriptures to them. Don't leave them to become prey to the devil;

“God wants you to follow up on souls and ensure that they abide in the kingdom.”

Memorise: Therefore thus saith the LORD God Israel against he pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. -Jeremiah 23:2

If God is ever going to use you to bring a harvest of souls into His kingdom, then you must be hardworking; -Luke 5:1-10

Harvesting requires way more labour than sowing, and if you don't harvest within the limited time, the fruits will rot.

Soul winning is an easier job than following up new converts till they mature in Christ. -John 15:16 says that you must win souls and endure that they abide, implying that they never return to the devil.

“Put more effort into the follow-up of souls till they are mature and are on the sure path to heaven.”

Memorise: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; -Matthew 9:37

Our God does not act rashly; if He destroys some fake pastors that some genuine Christians believe to be real, it could affect the faith of those who are following them. -Matthew 13:24-30

Don't worry about the mixed multitude in the church, God is coming to separate the wheat from the tares and when He does, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

“If you claim to be a Christian, yet you are bringing dishonour to the Lord, you better change now because God is coming to reward deceivers, and on that day, He will take no apologies.”

Memorise: So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, -Matthew 13:49
