Faith in God is essential in our walk with Him. In fact, it is the basis of our relationship with God because without faith in Christ’s finished work of redemption, no one can be saved. Even after we are born again, we cannot please God without faith.

Faith is the key that grant us access to the divine treasury in times of trouble. With faith, Christian can go through life’s challenges triumphantly. Faith is absolute trust and total dependence on God in all aspects and situation of life.
Therefore, as Christian Parents, it is your responsibility and duty to build your children’s faith in God. This is the way to build their confidence in God and prepare them to face life’s challenges with courage.

As Parents, you need to help your children to have personal relationship with God. Make them understand that we are saved by grace through faith. (Eph. 2:8). Let them know that the same faith in God by which they were saved is what they need to overcome any challenges in their lives.

Teach them to pray always, depending totally on God’s promises at all times instead of seeking help from ungodly sources or resorting to self help. Tell them about bible characters who trusted God in difficult situations and how He delivered them. Show them how to study and listen to the word of God and teach them to obey it because it is the source of faith.

Above all, reinforce your teaching with your exemplary life. Let your children see that you put your trust in God. Practically demonstrate total dependence on God when you are faced with unpleasant circumstances. This will enable them to demonstrate unwavering faith in God and receive divine help in all circumstances.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
Psalms 100:4 ????????????

Thanksgiving is all about worship for it′s one of the keys that “opens the door“ to God′s presence. That′s why the Psalmist encouraged that we come with thanksgiving - “to enter into His gates with thanksgiving...“ ????

When we show gratitude to God it′s an attitude that says, “God this is Your doing and we come in reverence appreciating Your goodness to us.“

Thanksgiving can also precede God′s performance of that which we ask. It declares our faith in that which we know God will do. “While we are yet praying...Daniel 6:10, Col 1:3 ???????? Also Jesus gave thanks before breaking the bread to feed the more than 5000 and even at the last supper...Matt 15:36 & 26:27 ????????

Thanksgiving moves God and even causes Him to act faster on our behalf. Amen! Daniel 2 & Luke 17:14 ????

So let′s always have this attitude of gratitude; let′s always worship with thanks, giving praise(s) unto our God.

This is the season to intensify Thanksgiving as we start the month - Awesome month of September! A month that God will remember us to produce great testimonies through us. Truly, God has been so good to us since the beginning of this year and He′s well deserving of our WORSHIP.

????Lord, I come before You today and all I want to say is Thank You, Lord. Even without asking anything but giving You thanks for all You have done, All you′re doing and All You will yet do! I bow before Your throne and say “I AM GRATEFUL, LORD ????....

It is good to give thanks to the Lord , And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
Psl 92:1 ????

“I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”
Daniel 2:23 ????

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Colossians 3:17 ????

Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.
Neh 12:27 ????

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Ps 69:30 ????

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I Thessalonians 5:18 ????

Let this be your decision now and always.

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

It is very easy for a man to forget another man. Everyone is busy pursuing their own greatness that they cannot spare a minute of thought for the second person.
It is an awfully selfish world! But hear this dear reader, God is making one irreversible promise to you this new month, it is the promise to always keep you in mind.

What exactly does it mean to be remembered of God? When God remembers a man He turns his shame into glory. Isaiah 61:7 (AMPC) says, “Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs.“
This scripture shows us that God can completely restore us — no matter what we′ve done or been through. And He wants to bring us to a position that′s better than we would have been in if we had never gone through the messes in our lives. He wants to give us double for our trouble!

The second thing that happens when God remembers a man is that He makes all thing become new. Our God is a dynamic God. Every new day He renews His glory. Every new day He does something greater.
Many are so used to the ways of yesterday that they do not imagine new things. Many are locked in their expectation that they do not dream bigger dreams.
For as many people who are held back by the victories of yesterday God will give you a new ground to conquer in Jesus name.

Do you know dear friend that the problem of some people is the victory of old?
Let us examine the spiritual import of Isa 43:18-19 for a moment. “…I will even make a way in the wilderness…”(Isa $3:19B) I do not know that man or woman who is reading this piece right now and all around you there is thick darkness; no light or any sign that there will soon be light. You have come to the limits of your wits and the end of your wisdom. But the word of God is coming to you today. God is making a way of escape for you.

Dear reader, I like you to know that the delight of God is doing the impossible.
Impossibility is the specialty of our God. The book of Mark Chapter 4 recorded the event of the wild storm when Jesus was asleep right at the innermost part of the cabin. Everyone in that ship on that day was afraid. They believed they would die. But Jesus right in the middle of the storm was fast asleep; it took some time to even wake Him. They said to him “Carest not thou that we perish?” That day Jesus did one more new thing. Right in their presence he spoke the word “Peace be still“ and the wind obeyed. They exclaimed “What manner of man is this? Even the wind and the storms obey him”.
Listen to me reader: that long-standing problem of your life that you believe would cost you a fortune or even your life savings will disappear at the word of the master.

The third thing that happens is that a man that is remembered of God received eternal freedom from his adversaries. I pray for you today dear reader whoever and whatever may have been holding you down by the power of the devil, they will release you this month in Jesus’ name. Whatever may have refused you access into your glory in the past are destroyed by the power of the Almighty this new month in Jesus name.

Happy new month and welcome to September

Cucumber in your drinking water is more beneficial than you might think. Here are some of the benefits of cucumber water:

It lowers your blood pressure
It supports healthy skin
It boosts bone health
It helps with weight loss
It keeps you hydrated
It delivers antioxidants.

Antioxidants are substance that helps prevent and delay cell damage from oxidative stress. Research has shown that antioxidants may be able to reverse or stop this damage. This is why you should eat more of fruits and vegetables. Cucumber falls into this category of fruits we need.

Unconsciously, some Christian Parents have bought into the idea of the fun-loving world that children should be preoccupied with fun, games and activities than with religion and relationship with God. According to them, teaching children about God and his holiness is simply too grand because their little minds cannot fully grasp it. Some others feel that once children make a profession of faith in Christ, then that’s enough, assuming that the teaching of holiness is only appropriate for children of advanced ages. Sadly, the consequence of these kinds of dispositions is that such children will not grow steadfastly in their faith in God as they ought to.

The teaching of the subject of holiness and holy living is necessary for the children of all ages and it is the responsibility of both Parents and the church to intentionally teach children about salvation and instruct them on how to live holy lives with the ultimate goal of bringing them into a growing relationship with God.

Leading a child to making a decision for Christ is not enough. It should be followed up with constituent instruction in righteousness. It is important that children are taught how to live a holy life in this pervert world because it is God’s desire and demand that every one of His people including children should live holy lives. It is a divine prerequisite for anyone who desires to spend eternity with God.
(Heb. 12:14).

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The value of a promise is a function of the speaker of the promise. In this world, there are men and there are men. When some men talk you can go to sleep because they will honor the word even if it is at the cost of their lives. But when some other men pronounce a promise they carry no weight at all. They can renege on a promise just because it rained heavily or it was a sunny day. Our God is not like that. Proverbs 23:19 says ?God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good??

There are three things that make the word of our God of particular consequence.

First is the Ability of our God.
No one can give what he does not have. Recall the story of the exorcists who; trying to mirror the spiritual exploits of Paul in casting out demons said in Acts 19 to evil spirits ?...We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.? Interestingly, the Bible calls them ?Vagabond Jews?. By definition, vagabond means ?impostor?, not born of the presumed father. In truth, that was who they were. They were claiming the brotherhood of the Kingdom when in fact they had no identity in Heaven. Our God is not like that. By proofs again and again; by proof documented in medieval times and now, our God has proven His capacity to do what men cannot do.

A few months ago, in the ancient city of Akure, working through the hands of a young believer our God raised a popular middle aged man who was reportedly lame from birth. The capacity of our God has not reduced with time. Just as he did of old, He is still doing today.

The Integrity of God
It was Alan Kooi Simpson a United States Republican Senator representing Wyoming who served from 1979 to 1997 that said ?If you have integrity nothing else matters. When you do not have integrity nothing else matters?. The integrity of God is unquestionable. Even the integrity of those who follow in his steps is solid.

And lastly, the love of God
God speaking through the mouth of Prophet Isaiah in Isa 49:15 says ?Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.?

When I think about the love of God it makes me shiver. God sent His only begotten son to the world to die for mankind in hope that mankind would take advantage of Calvary. And I ask, what if all men reject His offer? What if no one repents? His only begotten son would have died in vain. God took a pre-emptive risk. That?s a depth of love no one can explain.

These three reasons above makes it impossible for God to fail whenever he says a thing. Paul speaking to the Roman Church says in Rom 8:32 ?He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?? Dear friend, if there was anyone who knew God at close range Paul did.

As this new month unfolds I challenge you therefore to hold on strongly to what you have heard Him say to you. He is not a son of man. He cannot lie. He will bring you to an expected end.

Most women do not have any signs or symptoms of a pre-cancer or early stage cervical cancer. Symptoms usually do not appear until the cancer has spread to other tissues and organs. Sometimes, the sign of a symptom may be another medical condition that is not cancer.

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING COULD BE SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL DYSPLASIA OR CANCER
*Blood spots or light bleeding between or following periods
*Menstrual bleeding that is longer and heavier than usual
*Bleeding after intercourse, douching, or a pelvic examination
*Pain during sexual intercourse
*Bleeding after menopause
*Increased vaginal discharge

Any of these symptoms should be reported to your doctor.
If these symptoms appear, it is important to talk with your doctor about them even if they appear to be symptoms of other, less serious conditions. the earlier pre-cancerous cells or cancer is found and treated, the better the chance that the cancer can be prevented.
However, before the occurrence of these signs, you can go for screening or test.
It is very important.
