O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Jesus, speaking to the unbusiness-like approach of Mary when he visited Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 Said “…But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part”. When I see Christians chasing after the things that do not matter I feel a sense of bewilderment. Dear reader, to do well in life and particularly in this kingdom we need an urgent sense of prioritization. If there are two things that matter in this kingdom, power does. Glory does; and a combination of the two represents a great deal of eternal blessing.

First why exactly do you need power and why do you need glory? The first thing Jesus promised after conversion of the brethren and reception of the Holy Ghost is power… “…But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea” (Act 1:8). See the sequence- receive power and then go out and witness. So, that passage of the Bible is basically saying you shouldn’t even witness Christ if you have not activated your heavenly power yet. Why? -Because wickedness is real. I tell you the truth brethren; oppression of the enemy is real. The bible says “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Eph 6:12) No physical man without any heavenly help can wrestle against powers, rulers of darkness and win. The chances are way too slim; may be nil.

Why do you need glory? Glory was what God promised as a reward for giving our all in exchange for the cross. And the Bible says it very clearly “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Rev 5:10). If we do not see glory till we meet Jesus it would entirely be our fault and we would have grossly misrepresented Jesus on the earth for glory is the very essence of God as revealed on the Mount of Transfiguration. Glory is the natural by-product of walking with Jesus. Why should the moon stay so closely to the sun and never shine? God speaking through prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 60: 1 says “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”. If your glory is not beaming, it is most likely you are very far from the source of your shining- God.

But how do we become empowered and begin to shine by His glory at once?
First, you need the Holy Ghost. It is important for us to accept as believers that without the Holy Ghost we are not worth much. The Bible speaks of the enabling power of the Holy Spirit in Acts 10:38 of … “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”. You see, even the capacity to do good as ordinary as it may seem is lacking when you do not have the Holy Spirit. Permit me to say therefore that man is basically a devil’s possession without the Holy Spirit.

Second, to be empowered of God requires that we tarry in prayer. Is it not instructive that Jesus, in spite of his being God, still had to pray? Prayer is humility and submission to God. As Christians and particularly in this season of fasting we should learn to pray more.

Lastly, people who want to shine in life must learn self denial. Let me have you know dear reader that since God experienced the disappointment of Saul, God has stopped taking people to the throne without first trying them in the wilderness. He sent Joseph to Portiphar’s house and then to jail. After he had been proven he took him to the palace. He sent David to the wilderness and then the Cave of Adullam and even made him face a bear and a lion and then Goliath. After he was proven he made him king over Israel. Do you remember the prophesy through our father in the Lord this year? He said “2020 is going to be a year of many victories and there can not be victories without battles” In the agenda of God battles are to test and prove us as axes in the hands of mighty warrior.

If you desire this year; to be a champion you need the Holy Spirit very badly, you will need to pray and lastly you should prepare very well to confront the tests of faith. But be of good cheer because you have already won.

Happy new month.

Worry is disquieting thought, fear, care and anxiety about known realities and unknown future realities. It is deadly and has nothing positive to offer its victims other than load them with stress, disability and disease.
Worry wrecks havoc on your health. When you worry, you feel a rush of adrenaline; your heart rate and blood pressure go up. Once this happen, you at increased risk of numerous health problems.

In addition, worry makes the liver to produce excess cholesterol, which causes serious health issues like heart attack and stroke.
Worry is a choice. So choose not to worry by casting all your cares on God. He cares for you.

Successful Parenting attracts great dividends:
Nothing on earth gives greater delight than the sight of balanced and properly trained Child living in God’s purpose for his/her life. Child training is an investment that pays far greater dividends than any other investment and it is the most fulfilling job which God himself rewards. Great men and women of worth in all ages have attributed their success in life to good parenting. If we spend quality time and resources to train our children now,they will ever live to appreciate us, just like the children in Proverb 31 did.

We can be rest assured that anywhere our children find themselves they will stand for God and make us proud as parents.
If we raise our children in God’s way, they will become assets to us, the church and to the nation.

Finally, they will make it to heaven if they continue in the Godly we have shown them. For Parents who felt they have missed it in this area, it is not too late to start again. God is ever ready to help you. God’s instruction to us is to train our children in the way of the Lord so that when they are old, they will not depart from it.
May God help us not to fail in this task and help us to escape the consequences of ineffective parenting in our old age in Jesus name.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts..

The call to redemption is a call to glory. The whole purpose of our election is the fulfillment of the prophesy made by God at creation. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air“ The man that emerged after the tragedy of Eden was certainly not the prototype of God. All mortals inherited an inglorious destiny by the error made by one. “For as by one man′s disobedience many were made sinners (Rom 5:19)“.

The starting point of liberation is knowledge. Some Christians are so well used to the story of Eden and the fall of man that it has become the very pattern of their lives. The real deal for ALL Christians is NOT the fall. The fall is pure history the real deal is REDEMPTION. REDEMPTION!

What exactly is the meaning of “Greater Glory“? In literal terms, glory means shining. Let us for a moment examine the scientific concept of luminous and non-luminous bodies.
A luminous body is one which can give light by itself. It possesses the ability to generate light while a non-luminous body is one which does not produce light.
Naturally, the sun is the first example of a luminous body. But you will be shocked to learn that the moon and stars are numbered among non-luminous bodies. The reason is that both masses shine only by the reflection of the Sun. If they do not get any ray from the sun they remain blank. In effect therefore, without the sun′s help, the moon and the stars are just huge masses of darkness.

The story is much the same for Christians. No Christian can shine all by himself. Isa 60:1 says “… and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.“ Brethren, no Christian can demonstrate any glory if God′s glory is not shone on him. Just as the moon gives no light when it stays away from the sun, just so a Christian shines no brighter than the level of his exposure to God′s word.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Ps 119:105)“ Hard labour only produces maximum frustration. It is divine leading into genuinely profitable endeavors that makes a man a star. So God′s word shows us the way to the top. In God′s word, we see what we were made to be. It is time for Christians to stop praying to God to bless what they do and get involved doing what God has already blessed. The most blessed of all life endeavors is what God himself instituted. If God instituted a plan, he will secure it to the end. If God created an agenda he will furnish the means all by himself. So the most rewarding thing you can do is to get aboard God′s plan because it′s already blessed.

Now there are at least three attributes of men who experience the glory.

One, they put grace to work. They spend their nights as part of their days. They are no sluggards. “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.(Prov 22:29)“. Brethren there are far too many believers who abuse the precious grace of God.

Paul speaking in 1 Cor 15:10 says “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me“. Men who are preferred even among the best, labour night and day seeking to reap a yield on grace. If you are reading this and still sleep ten hours every 24-hour in a day, you are far from glory!

Two, they keep at it! Success is never an occurrence, success is always a process. The moment of glory with glitters that you see on primetime TV advertorials are products of months, sometimes, years of painstaking hard work. So, if after your initial trials it seems you have not made much headway, be sure you are sowing a seed and soon it would speak. Please understand dear friend that for every glory there is a waiting period. It took thirty whole years before the glory of Jesus was unveiled.

Lastly, men who radiate glory see farther than their peers. They invest in the future. God took Abraham to the field and asked him to look. God promised to give Abraham the land as far as his eyes can see. You can not go farther than you can see. Dream big, think ahead and aim high.

Very soon, your own star will shine. Very, very soon, your glory will reach to the ends of the world.

Vegetables are the parts of plants which humans consume as food either raw or cooked and are essential sources of nutrients for the body. Some common vegetables are carrot, cabbage, lettuce, sweet and white potatoes, cucumber, tomato, pumpkin, onion, garlic, pepper, spinach e.t.c

Vegetables are the wellspring of antioxidants which protect the human body from oxidant-related diseases, stress, cancer, inflammation and kidney stones. It boosts the immune system of the body and decrease bone loss.

Vegetables are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. It ensures proper bowel function and protects the bowel from protracted constipation, hemorrhoids, colon cancer. Food rich in potassium helps to maintain healthy blood pressure. It equally helps the body form red blood cells and it’s very good for women of childbearing age because it reduced the risk of neural tube defects.

To cook your vegetables; steam them, do not overcook or microwave your vegetables. Both methods destroy enzymes.
