HE'S WATCHING (FOCUS) Part 2

By: JUDAH  OLATUNDE


Psalms  53:2 * GOD LOOKED* down from heaven upon the children of men, *TO SEE* if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

The Bible said, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, not they that  are consistent in church services. Someone may ask, 'Judah, how about the scripture that says, they went from strength to strength when they appeared before the Lord in Zion?'

Did you see what that scripture said properly, they didn't come to Zion to appear before men but before God. Their strength didn't reduce because they came to Zion to appear before God. It is amazing how people rush to church without any predetermined focus, this is why they will return from church and complain of weakness instead of unusual strength.

For instance, When some people are dressing up to go to the Church on Sunday, their focus as they were dressing is "do I look good? Will sister so and so see me? O! I hope the first person I'll meet is Bro David so that he can comment on my cute look. I want to look better than Mrs Motloung, I want to wear this nice suit so that those who see me can bow their heads".

This is the reason why many including church workers return from Church unchanged and an ordinary member will come with a heart fully prepared and take the blessings meant for them and will return with testimonies.

2 Cor3:18 We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are being changed into the same image from glory to glory. You're not changed by beholding the glory of men or the outlook of your pastor but by beholding the glory of the Lord.

God is looking but what are you doing?
Don't go to church because of any other reason other than to worship God. As a pastor or a church worker, you must see even your service to God as a form of worship before the Lord can reward you.

*Insights for today: It is impossible to fix your eyes and heart on men and see God. It is impossible to have God in mind and not see God at work in your life. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you for your word to me today. Help me to keep my focus only on you and cause me to experience you in a great dimension Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

HE'S WATCHING BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Part 1

By: JUDAH  OLATUNDE


Psalms 14:2 The Lord looked down upon the children of men *TO SEE* if there were any that did understand and seek God.

   Recently, we were having our staff devotion and a woman said something which I would like us to learn from. She said "there are church buildings almost on every streets in every area you go today and yet the level of chaos, iniquity and atrocities are far more than even when there were but a very few churches in town".

 In the literal sense she meant that, when churches weren't this much, people live a descent life, you could forget your phone or money somewhere and someone would pick and keep them for you but today, if you dare forget your phone even in the church, you will not find it when you return in 3minutes time.

 Going to church is not a sign that you know God or that you are a genuine Christian. When you have no personal relationship with God (personal prayer and study life), you are still a baby Christian who is capable of falling for just any little  thing.

Some people are really old Christians in quote, some will tell you 'I gave my life to Christ 30 years ago' but yet their life is not transformed bcos they have no personal relationship with God.
They can successfully tell you the history of churches and even quote the whole versions of bibles but they are more dead than even their age as Christians.

God is watching but what are you doing?

Sons and daughters of God, Pastors, workers and all ministers of the gospel, what are you doing? He's watching, Soon you will give account for everything you are doing.

*Insights for today: Your work for God is of no use to God if your walk with God is not known to God. (Judah Olatunde)

*Prayer: Father, give me the needed grace to please you and have a strong personal devotion with you in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

DON'T PUT OFF THE SPIRIT FIRE

By:  Mika  Mahloane


*Ex 33:7 Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp (read till verse 11)*

One of the signs that you have the Holy Spirit, is that you pray from time to time, as we are in a spiritual battle everyday.

Moses erected a tent (a personal altar in a quiet place), this is where God Almighty appears to Him when he prays. Until you find such a place, it will be hard for God to speak with or appear to you. It takes time, but you must be consistent in prayer and seek Him.

When Moses entered his personal altar, a pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the altar, and the Lord talked with Moses. When you cease praying, you are unpluging the Spirit cord that links you to the Father for the Holy Ghost is quenched through prayerlessness *(I Thes 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit)*.

Prayer is one of the weapons God gave us in order to keep the plug connected and the switch on, let us not switch it off nor disconnect ourselves for any reason. God did not just appear to Moses anywhere, there was a certain place Moses had to be, a quiet and an isolated place of prayer, a personal altar.

*(I Thes 5:17 pray without ceasing)*. The best time to pray is 24/7 round the clock. The promises of God reveal his particular and eternal purposes to which He is unchangeably committed and upon which believers can totally depend upon. These promises are, however, conditional upon obedience on the part of believers.

*Insights For Today: For every divine provision, there's a divine condition. The flow of the provision is not guaranteed until the seemingly small conditions are met. Prayer is a great condition for all round open doors (Judah Olatunde)*



*Prayer: Father, we ask that you uproot any demonic entity that is keeping us too busy to pray as this is Your will for our lives, in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

EXCEPT HE HELPS YOU (THE HELP OF GOD Part 2)

BY:  JUDAH OLATUNDE


Psalms  60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Ps 121:1-2 "I will lift up my eyes... from whence cometh my help"
My help cometh from the LORD which made the heaven and the earth.

God is not only the maker of heaven and the earth, He made you and everything you'll ever need. And the most amazing thing is that, He made all you'll ever need before He ever made you.

When you put your trust in man, you automatically lose your strength in God.
If man lifts you up, he will also pull you down one day when you refuse to dance to his/her tunes but Only God can lift you up and you will remain at the top.

Yes, God uses men to lift you up but you don't have to fix your eyes and heart on men or look for men or unto men in order to get a help, doing that will end you in lots of frustrations.

It is only God who knows your past and yet  not use it against you, only God can see your weaknesses and yet call you strong and full of strength. He made you, so He knows you. No mortal man was there when He was making you so also, no mortal man can truly give you the help you require.

Man may give you what you ask for but only God can give you what you truly need without sounding an alarm to people.

Until you're ready to give it all up for HIM, you are not ready to experience a major help from Him. Remember,
When you put your trust in man, you automatically lose your strength in God.

*Insights for today: If God can't, no man can. If He says YES, no mortal man including all devils put together can say NO. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Father, I thank you for your word and I ask that you help me to keep my eyes and heart only on you in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

GREAT INSIGHTS ABOUT PRAYER

BY:   JUDAH  OLATUNDE


Psalms  66:3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

● "Prayers that work are prayers made not from the head but from the heart."

● "Without faith, hours spent in prayer is a waste"

● The devils does not dread or fear the talkative but the prayerful

● A prayerful man is on the devils permanent hate-list

● The reason why the enemy dares you is bcos he fears you but the level at which he fears you is determined by how prayerful you are.

● The devils does not fear the talkative but the prayerful.

*Prayer: Dear Lord, keep me  ever burning so that the wicked one may not be able to touch me and give me amazing results that I may be encouraged to pray even more in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

EXCEPT HE HELPS YOU

By:  JUDAH  OLATUNDE


Psalms  127:1  Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalms  60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

The day you lose sense of men helping you is the very day you sign up for the help of Jehovah. The reason is because GOD will NEVER share His glory with any mortal man including yourself, so He waits till you give up all man made help or sources before He steps in to help.

Most often than none, God waits for man to reach its breaking point before He chooses to help, this is the point at which He knows no man can help you including yourself.
 This is the point of absolute helplessness and surrenderness to Him.

The reason why God has been unable to help multitude is because, they got to that point of helplessness and yet refused to surrender to God.

Important truth to know about the help of God:
- Don't expect help from a particular person. People whom you believe will help might not be the ones God has ordained to help you.

-  You don't need everything and everybody to succeed you only need one person which is GOD alone.

Until you're ready to give it all up for HIM, you are not ready to experience a major help from Him.

*Insights for today: Vain is the help of man including self. If God can't help you, no man can help you. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Dear Lord, I give up all focus on people including self, I invite you today and I confess that, except you help me, no man can help me. Help me Lord now in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

CAPACITY CAN BE LOST

By: JUDAH OLATUNDE


Mark 9:50 Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.”

We are the salt of the earth and it is good to have a good content but when salt is over-diluted, it loses its strength and capacity to give taste.

This is the more reason you must be careful as a believer and not just careless. Multitude are dead in the Spirit but yet physically moving about and that is the reason why so many are tasteless. 

*You cannot add any taste to the earth if you are tasteless*

Jesus was saying, the same way the capacity of salt can be lost is the same way your capacity too will be lost if you're not careful.

It is not as if you're not good but you can not function effectively when your capacity is lost. For instance a man that has stroke or lame has both legs physically intact but yet unable to walk not because the legs are not physically there but because the capacity to walk is not there.

A man who has hearing impediments or a deaf man still has his ears physically intact but the capacity to hear is no more there.
The same way also, we are the salt of the earth but if our capacity is lost, how can we give taste to this tasteless world?

There are so many people that started off very well with God but there ending was nothing to even think about or even desire. It means they were salty before but they lost their capacity to add taste with time. 

*Insight for today: If as a believer you're not careful, your end will be tearful (Judah Olatunde)* 

*Prayer: Dear LORD, I thank you for your word to me today, help me LORD not to become a negative history, let it not be said of me, he/she was once full of grace but now completely down, may that not be my portion in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

THE GOD SEEKERS

By:  JUDAH OLATUNDE


James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

When we look through the mirror of the Word, we can see the Lord but yet not all can see when they look because many have been shrouded.

What a peace we find. What a joy we see. What an intimacy we enjoy with the Spirit for He gets to chat with us but first we must see.

The Lord crieth out, who is blind but my servant, you must grow to be a son indeed that the Lord can trust having been made to pass through intense fire.

Seeking Him is evidently one way to getting to the very heart of God. God loves everyone but He has certain choices for the Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men TO SEE if there be any that did understand and indeed seek Him. Will you be one of those closer to His heart by seeking Him with all your heart DAILY nd EVERY single moment of your life?
If you want to be among those God is going to pay special attention to, then you must ensure you pay special attention to Him by seeking Him EVERY single moment of your life. I SAY UNTO YOU, SEEK HIM!

*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: If you will not find Him when you seek Him, He would NEVER have asked you to seek HIM. THE LORD CAN BE SEEN (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Lord endue me with the grace to draw near unto you more than ever before, cause me to know you more as I draw nearer to you in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith.*

INIQUITY AND DESTINY

By:  JUDAH OLATUNDE


Genesis  3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Man was not permitted to till until he fell into sin. Every single thing man needed was made before man was made. Man only came to dress all God has made but he lost it due to iniquity.

Every temptation to sin is an attempt to truncate your future. Iniquity is the major enemy of destiny i.e nothing punctures great destinies like iniquities. It has punctured many glorious future and the devil does not usually appear with horns in his head to destroy people's great future, he shrouds or covers himself with a cloak called iniquity.

Iniquity turned Adam's sweetness into sweat and rigorous labour. He left a very great battle for his generations to come. Other fathers left as a generational blessing but he left  generational liability and avoidable responsibilities for his seed. What a father! Flee all appearance of evil, if you don't, you're sending a direct invitation to the devil.

*Insights for today: Man was not permitted to till until he fell into sin. Nothing punctures great destinies like iniquities. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Father, give me the grace to say 'NO' to every appearance of sin and keep me close to your side all the remaining days of my life that I may stand in you alone in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

ARE YOU SURE.. PART 2

By:  JUDAH OLATUNDE


Revelation  20:12 "..... AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: and another book was opened, which is THE BOOK OF LIFE.
 20:15 And WHOSOEVER was not found WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Saying the prayer of salvation does not make you born again neither does going to church  makes you a born again child of God.
Being born again is that you FIRST believe in your heart and confess it with your mouth. And after you have done this, Something MUST change in you. The reason why NOTHING has changed in many is because they said the salvation prayer without FIRST believing. Salvation prayer isn't just about the display of emotionalism but a conviction based on the word of God.

2 Corinthians  5:10  For we MUST all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Romans  14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

You will give account of EVERYTHING you do in this body. Not some things but everything and you won't give account for even the pastor that got you saved neither will you give account for your parents or children.

It is 100% possible to be physically serving God and yet  your service is unto the devil (Deut. 28:47-48).

If our hope is in this live alone, we are of all men most miserable. Is your focus on this world or on the world to come? Are you sure you are saved?

*Insights for today: If after three months you have said the salvation prayer and yet nothing changes in you, on you and around you, it is a clear evidence that you're not born again. If you're in Christ, something must change in you. (Judah Olatunde)

*Prayer: Father, help me to live my life to please you in all things and don't let me be a cast away after my journey here on earth in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith*

Are you sure.. part 1

By:  JUDAH OLATUNDE.


2 Cor 5:17 " If you're truly in Christ, old things are passed away, and see, ALL THINGS are become new" (paraphrased).

So many people are deceiving themselves and thinking they are deceiving God. Your true state may be hidden from men but it is extremely lucid or vivid before the Lord.

Rom 8:1 made it very clear, only those who do *NOT* walk after the flesh will not be condemned meaning even if you claim you're born again and you're still walking after the flesh, you will be condemned.

If you claim to be born again after maximum period of three to six months and yet your desires, thoughts and actions still rest and flows with the rest of the world, you're not born again yet.

If after salvation you are still listening and enjoying ANY form of worldly music or songs, you are not saved yet.

If after salvation there's no vivid and very distinctive change in the way you act and move, your salvation is questionable.

After some of us got saved, it was as though we carried God on our head bcos it was clearly written all over us. All our friends knew that something happened, some on the account of that stopped talking and moving with us.
You are born again and yet none of your friends could testify about it, my friend, you are not.

I've discovered that it is possible to be a man of God and a committed worker in church and yet be heading to hell.

For example, If a woman gets pregnant, everything is affected, physically, emotionally and even her mind, everything is changed and affected including the dress Pattern, the same way also if you claim to be born again, EVERYTHING Must change too.
It must affect your priority, your heart, your mind, your actions, even the way you dress too. You can't be born again and still walk about on streets looking like an harlot.

*Insights for today: People have said, salvation is of the heart and not of outward appearance but the bible said, whatever flows out of you is as a result of what you have inside of you. Your outward appearance is as a result of your inward endowment. You can't have Christ in you and it won't show even on you. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Father, give me grace to please you in all I do in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

IT WORKS, THE WORD WORKS..Part 2

By: JUDAH OLATUNDE 
1 Thessalonians2:13 "....the WORD OF GOD, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE".

It was established in the first part that it is not all about just reading the word, the most important thing is that you're lighted and impacted by the word. If it is to read, even the heathens read the word and constitutions of many nations are word based.

Look at our text, the scripture says, the WORD works effectively (tremendously) *IN THEM THAT BELIEVE.* From yesterday's devotional, it was also clear that, the word of God is both Spirit and Life. Meaning if all you have access to is the letter realm, you can't arrive at what is called FAITH. You can't BELIEVE the WORD if you have access to the dictionary meaning and not the spiritual meaning of the word. You can't believe the word if the Spirit of the word does not find its rightful entrance into you.

The reason why David had such an unusual access into the word was because he was humble enough to pray a very simple prayer "Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your word".

The entrance of God's word into you is known in heaven and ordained by Jehovah to give you light but how can the word that will give you light enter if you do not have access to the Spirit of the Word. It is this light that ejects unusual faith into you and cause the Word to ALWAYS work for you.

Your needs will be met when you gain access into the word. The word works but do you believe? How then can you believe if all you have is the letter that killeth..

Two doorways to access that gives strange faith:
1. Humility
2. A LIFESTYLE of prayer.

*Insights for today: When you gain access into the word, you will receive a kind of faith that swallows all uncertainties and all 'NOS' then will you see the word work so cheaply for you.*

*PRAYER: Dear Lord, Open my heart and eyes to behold wondrous things out of your word in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

It works, The word works part 1..

It Works, The Word Works.. Part 1

By: JUDAH OLATUNDE

1 Thessalonians  2:13  For this cause also thank we GOD without ceasing, because, when ye received the WORD of GOD which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the WORD OF GOD, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE.

I hope you are aware that the devil knows the Bible too, he can read the Bible very well too. What he lacks is the real revelation of the word.

This was the reason he was busy tempting THE Word with the word because if he had the revelation of who the word is, he wouldn't have dared to tempt Jesus.

The scripture says, the letter killeth and the word of God is Spirit and life. If all you know is the letter, you will end up as the devil by rebelling against the will of God because he can read the Bible too, he had access to the letter realm of the word.

I've seen many people have a good ability to memorise so many Scriptures, they can quote it verbatim but yet, they are worst than blind men because they have no clue about what they are quoting. All they have is the dictionary meaning of the word and not the Spirit's meaning of the word.

Without the Holy Spirit, we won't have what we call the BIBLE today because He was the one who quickened and inspired men to write it.


The reason the enemy came to tempt Jesus with the word was because he knows the word due to access to the letter realm, the Spirit and life of the scripture he was quoting was not unveiled and made accessible to him.

So many people have claim to know a particular scripture and yet use it in times of need but it never worked, it is not because the word does not work but it was due to the truth that, the letter realm only kills.  It means, if all you have is the story/letter aspect of the word, the best you will become is to die in religion rather than in experience.

 The more you accumulate the letters, the more you die. Haven't you seen theologians in life? Multitude of them don't have the experience of the word they claim to know. They know God can change lives but they have no single experience to show for it. They can even proof to you with absolute clarity and certainty everything written in the Bible but yet no single experience of it, no single encounter with the Lord or even insight into the word they know so much about.


*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: The entrance of God's word into you is known in heaven and ordained by Jehovah to give you light but how can the word that will give you light enter if you do not have access to the Spirit of the Word. It is this light that ejects unusual faith into you and cause the word to work for you (JUDAH OLATUNDE).*


*Prayer: Almighty Father, thank you for your word to me today, open my eyes Lord by your Holy Spirit and give me access that will cause the word to always work for me in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith*

THIS SAME JESUS

By: JUDAH OLATUNDE

Acts  1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? *THIS SAME JESUS....."*

There are times when it seems as though you will never cross a boundary, there are times when life will beat you so hard as though you have no God. There are times when situations of life will ask you several questions you can't find answers to and there are times, you will feel as if you are the only one going through unpleasant seasons in the whole world. Those times exist but THIS SAME JESUS IS VERY MUCH REAL.

There are times, you won't even be able to explain the occurrences around you, there are times you will see life as though, its not worth it. Those times are real but THIS SAME JESUS IS MORE REAL..

click to read: if He promised it, don't worry about it, just...

This same Jesus who turned the life of Saul around will turn your life around.
This same Jesus that visited Sarah is able to visit you. Hear what Sarah said "God hath made me laugh so that all that hear shall laugh with me". This was she who was called the mother of nations and yet barren for so long.

This same God that visited Abraham is able to visit you.

Jacob was just as limited as his father was in his early years, his destiny was to affect the entire humanity but his identity was covered until the Lord met him. This same Jesus that turned the life of Jacob can turn your life around.

This same Jesus who wiped away the reproach and shame of the woman with the issue of blood is able to do the same again. Jesus destroyed and ended her long age satanic ordeal upon her life.. This same Jesus is still alive..

It was said concerning the blind man in John chapter 9:1, "he's the one; others said, he's like him, some others said, I doubt it, he can't be the one but he responded saying, I am he". Why? This same Jesus met him and his identity changed instantly. This same Jesus is able to change your life this very same February... This same JESUS!!!!!!

Whatever He has done before, He can do it again. THIS SAME JESUS!!!!!

*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: If He changed the live of Abraham, He can change your life too. I am very sure you've heard about the story of Abraham, but you don't truly understand his experience. Your experience will change when you have a genuine encounter with this same JESUS. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Declaration: This same Jesus that lives forever will visit you today and every trace of shame, reproach and every long age ordeal and affliction shall come to an end today in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

IF HE PROMISED IT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, JUST BELIEVE IT (PART TWO)

By:  Judah Olatunde

Matthew  17:20 "... for verily I say unto you, *If ye have faith as a GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, YE SHALL SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, REMOVE HENCE TO YONDER PLACE; AND IT SHALL REMOVE; AND NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU".*

According to our text, no matter how minute or small you said your faith is, it can move the highest and hardest mountain. Someone is saying Judah, are you sure about what you just said?" Well, God said so not me. Judah didn't inspire the written word, it was brought forth by the Lord Himself.

Click here to read the part one:If He promised it, don't worry about it, just believe it..

The word had been tried already and thus, you don't need to say "let me give it a try" you don't need to try it again because it always works. If you will dare to engage the word by faith, it will deliver maximally.

From the part one, it was concluded that the major  weapon the enemy uses against God's own children is worrying.
You need to understand that worrying on its own doesn't just bring about the trouble but it brings the fear and the fear is what brings the troubles.. Therefore, spending time worrying is sowing and preparing a good ground for fear to set in and once the enemy sees fear, he jumps in and carries out his operations without any resistance.

If believers will only learn to live beyond self, they wouldn't worry about anything. God is the one who gave the word. If He says, your little faith can move mountains, then it sure can. You are the one to be dead enough to common sense in order to engage your faith even though you claim it is too small. It is impossible for you to fail this year!

IF HE PROMISED IT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, JUST BELIEVE IT

By:  Judah Olatunde

Romans 1:13 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God.
Genesis  17:4  AS FOR ME, see, MY COVENANT IS WITH THEE and you shall be exactly what I've said you would be (paraphrased).

All the promises of God in Christ Jesus are not yea and maybe but Yea and Amen. This means that even if you doubt them or refuse to believe in them, they will never stop from being the word of God sent forth, the only effect will be on you that refuses to receive and believe the word.

Isaiah 14:24 The Lord of host has sworn saying, As I have thought, so shall it come to pass and as I have purposed, even so shall it stand.

The word of GOD IN ITSELF can NEVER be of none effect, it can only be of none effect in your life when you refuse to believe and receive it.

God made it clear to Abraham that His word is already given to him and it is no more God's fault if the word does not bring forth in the live of Abraham. God was literally telling him, "I've given you my word and now whether it is fulfilled or not, that's all up to you not me because I've concluded my part before I informed you or before I gave you my word".

What a God! He did all and put it all at your mercy. Every word of God is subject to your faith.  Another truth is that, God can choose to override faith but that's extremely rare. He doesn't always do that. For instance, out of 100 percent, the possibilities of God doing things without your faith is just about 0.01 percent. This means that your faith no matter how small it seems to be makes tremendous impact when engaged seeing that God will do nothing where He sees no faith.

The major instrument the enemy has successfully used to capture multitude of believers is WORRYING. This is the major hindrance to engaging your faith. To be continued..

Insights For Today: His word is ever true, dare to believe it and you will see it manifest.  (Judah Olatunde)

*Prayer: Father, thank you Lord for your word to me today and help me to build my faith daily so as to have no single reason to worry in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*

SOME HARVEST REALLY TAKES TIME

By:  Judah Olatunde

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked for *whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap*
Vs 9 and let us not be weary in well doing: for *in due season* we shall reap, if we faint not. (Also read Luke 8:15 ".....bring forth fruit with patience")

Not all seeds are the same, Not all harvest arrives at the same time, some harvest really does take time. A vegetable seed planted will never take too long to grow and be ready for harvest. But on the other hand, a Palm tree will take  several years.

There are many types of Palm trees but the common species of palm tree generally takes 4-7 years to grow from seed to its highest. Some may take 2-3 years initially just to reach 1 foot. While Some others grow to about 4-6 feet per year. Some of them starts bringing forth fruit at about 5yrs while others even 10years or more and palm trees live for a predetermined number of years. For example, the Mexican fan palm, an icon of Los Angeles, lives for about 100 years. Coconut palms live 80 to 90 years and there are some that have the cells to live upto 700 years.

What are all these analysis for? They are to show you that harvest for each seed planted do not take the same time to arrive. And one important truth is that, you must have to keep planting a vegetable seed all over again but a palm tree is only planted once and its harvest is for multitude of years.

Never look at other people's success and speed to judge yours because you don't have a clue what kind of seed they are. We are not born for the same purpose, therefore don't be stupid as to start measuring your life according to the speed of another. You may last longer than those you see around bearing wonderful greenish fruits today but if you hastily seek for alternatives, you may end up destroying your precious seed which is to be planted once and bring forth harvest for as long as you live. WILL YOU DARE TO WAIT? IT TAKES TIME BUT WILL YOU STILL WAIT?

COMPLETENESS IS ONLY THROUGH ENDURANCE

By:  Mika Mahloane 

Romans 5:3-5
[3]And not only that, but we also *glory in tribulations* , knowing that tribulation produces *perseverance* ;
[4]and perseverance, *character* ; and character, *hope* .
[5]Now *hope does not disappoint* , because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


I am inspired by the story of Job, the man who stood in the midst of storms.

🔥He was hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed;
🔥He was perplexed, but was not in despair;
🔥 Persecuted, but not forsaken;
🔥 Struck down, but not destroyed.

Many people fail the test because when trials come, they start to question God's existance, instead of seeking HIM. they start asking, O God! Why me? why not you if I may ask? Our character is tested through hardships.

When you go to the Lord God Almighty, while in a desperate need, when all help is in vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside. After that silence, you may as well turn away. The longer you wait the more emphatic the silence will become.

 Just when it seems impossible for you to hold on, that is the time to hold on

🔥 Do not give in, do not not faint.
🔥 You are doing alright, just hang in there.
🔥 Do not backout, neither retreat nor surrender.
🔥 Do not give up, GOD IS FAITHFUL

YOUR SEED, YOUR ERRAND AND YOUR HARVEST..

Genesis  8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest.... shall not cease".

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked for *whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap*
Vs 9 and let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

The church of Christ loves to spend time begging and pleading in disobedience rather than spend time in diligence and obedience.

We have a system in Christ that guarantees our sweatless harvest of all we need but not without a simple action or step of faith. It is not as if God cannot bless you if you choose not to give but God places a system called sowing/seed time/giving to determine your level of trust and dependence on Him.

People love to beg God for things to come rather than Release their seed and trust God for the things to come. *YOU CAN SEND YOUR SEED ON AN ERRAND TO BRING YOUR DESIRED HARVEST.*

See this:God will answer if you will dare ask big...

Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God. Do you want to be free from every satanic prison houses and bondages, sow the seed they sowed and stop wasting time begging. They didn't needed to beg God for freedom from the chains and prison doors. They sent the seed of prayer and praise on an errand and it brought them an harvest of deliverance and complete freedom.

*If you keep waiting and begging, you will waste away, start sowing what you want to see*. A farmer does not need to beg after going to farm to sweat in planting his maize or yam, he doesn't even need to fast as long as he waters what he has planted from time to time and he is too confident that he will get a bountiful harvest because he had already done what he needed to do. *AS LONG AS YOU REMAIN IN DISOBEDIENCE, YOU WILL REMAIN IN CAPTIVITY*

APOSTLE AYO BABALOLA WRONG MISTAKE IN CHOICE OF WIFE.

Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola prayer ministry exploit was quite remarkable; for example, he could pray for three days nonstop. After tarrying before the Lord in prayers, Apostle Babalola was once commanded by God to cut three leaves from a tree and put them on a rock before him; and God asked him to pray until the sweat from his body moved the leaves forward; and he carried out the task.

According to a report, “…that was how he continued praying until he had prayed for seventy-two hours. He started praying around 9:00 p.m on Sunday and by the time he said a closing “In Jesus’ Name I pray”, it was Wednesday evening.

click to read this if you're going through trying moments

The surprising thing is that, by the time the apostle finished praying, he apologized for prolonging the evening prayer a little longer and then told them to go and sleep. They all laughed at him and told him, ‘Baba, you have prayed for three days.

We left you most of the time and have been going about our normal duties. Today is not Sunday but Wednesday. You have been standing on your feet praying for three days.’” This prophet could spend time on the mountain for many days with absolute fasting of neither water nor food (In fact, there was a time when he did 51 days marathon absolute fasting of no food or drink).

In effect, it seems that Apostle Joseph Babalola was never hungry while fasting, having been fed supernaturally by the angel who accompanied Jesus Christ to visit him at the start of his ministry, on the seventh day of his initial God-commanded seven days’ fasting of no food no water. He had special grace for long dry fasting.

Apostle Babalola once said that the prayers he had prayed are enough to be raising up men and women to evangelize the nation until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. God selected him as a workman selects his tool, chosen to accomplish a Divine work. He had the Stamp of Deity upon his ministry. Signs and wonders accompanied his ministrations.

 Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola once told his fellow ministers during prayer meeting to knee down for SHORT prayer. After about 2-3 hours of kneeing down, the minister becomes frustrated and sat down, leaving only Apostle Babalola still on his knee praying for about 5-6 hours. The following day, they asked him "Baba, if you ask us to pray a short prayer with you which took almost 6 hours, How many hours will your LONG prayer last?

Many of us knew Ori Oke Aanu (Mountain of Mercy) Praying Ground, Erio-Ekiti in Osun State Nigeria. This mountain of prayer was founded by this same Apostle Babalola. There is a spot on top of that mountain rock where he knee to pray and his knee pierced through, leaving a giant hole in the rock due to his long hours in praying. That hole is still over there till-date.

He was the only man that traveled overseas for missionary works without airplane or ship. He usual traveled abroad with his ministers for missionary work neither by air or water, he only gathered his minister for prayer and instantly they disappeared into thin-air.

Sometimes, when preaching the angel will left-up his two legs and he will begin to move and float in air without his feet touching the ground. He usually floats on air while preaching, he can also pray for 3 months on knee without standing up.

# THE TERRIBLE MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE:

The known mistake was his choice of wife. History has it that the woman he truly loved was a single mother, but the elders of CAC considered it an embarrassment for their leader to marry a single mother. Hence, they misled him to marry the spinster who later became the thorn in his flesh.

Her name was Dorcas. A Christian name is not the same with a Christian at heart. There was a time she poured palm oil on the white garment of the man of God on his way to a crusade ground. Another time after returning from the mountain after long days of prayers and fasting, the wife served him a delicious meal to break his fast.

YOU WON'T GO THROUGH FOR NOTHING

No matter what you are going through, there's an assurance that you will be brought out and rewarded. You won't just go through for nothing. No. It is impossible for you to go through and come out without anything to show for it.

Job 19:25 "I know my Redeemer liveth..
26 and even though worms eat up my skin and destroy my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
27 Whom I shall see for myself and mine eye shall behold Him and not another..." (Paraphrased).

Job in the intensity of the adversity of his condition was still 100 percent certain about his outcome. He was too sure his situation would not last forever and that was why he said "whom I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall see and not another person's eyes but my own very eye shall see Him".

The certainty of the change to come gave him enough hope and also kept him alive even when everyone else wanted him dead. He was weakened even by the friends that came around him but he was not ready to give up the ghost until his change arrived.

- No condition under heaven is permanent as long as you keep your faith and hope alive..
- No matter how much lose you have suffered, recovery is still possible.
- God will NEVER forsake you in the midst of the storm.
- God pities and succours those going through storms in life.
- You will be thoroughly tested for what you claim to believe in.
- As long as God is in it, you can still breakthrough in it.

Are you sure no condition is really permanent? Hold on and hold out, your change is on the way and it is very sure to come. I will hear your testimonies and it is impossible for you to fail this year in Jesus name.

IF YOU WILL DARE TO ASK, GOD WILL ANSWER

Mark  9:23 Jesus is saying unto you, If you can believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to you if you believe.
Jn14:14 If you you dare to ask ANYTHING in my name, I the LORD will do it. (Paraphrased)


The answers we get in life is as a result of our request from God. Nothing in life just happen on it's own accord, things are made to happen on the altar of prayer/sacrifice.

 And this is the reason why the quote "What's gonna be is gonna be" is completely unscriptural and unacceptable according to heaven's report seeing that God had ordained you to be victorious and have abundance in all things irrespective of the happenings all across the world.

The apostles were told they would receive the Holy Spirit baptism but  they still needed to pray. Elijah who just call down  fire from heaven was told by Jehovah Himself that, there would be rain.
Please understand that, it was the will of God but he didn't just sit down or go to bed after that. He went into prayer because he understood that, despite the fact that God said it, if I refuse to ask or make demands for it, I won't see it.

*That God said a word to you does not guarantee that you will see it. If you don't take responsibility for it, you won't see it.*
