♦ *TOPIC: WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

John  18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Unfortunately, we are in an era when we just decide to do what we want or what we think is right and ignore what we think is wrong. This era is the period of time where we do things because we see someone else doing it. We seems to lack focus on what we really ought to do.

I have watched young men and women including the middle age ones who are in their early 50s and 60s make certain choices just because they saw someone else making that choice. The choice of business, dressing, likes and dislikes of many are hinged on the choices of others.

Multitude do not know exactly why they are doing what they are doing but yet according to scriptures, we ought to be sure of what we are doing and why we are doing what we are doing.
Jesus came to the world and it almost seems unbelievable that He never did or attempted any single thing that the Father wasn't interested in unlike many of us today. John  18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

He was too sure of what He was doing that He could boldly confess it without fear of what might happen next.

Recently, I asked myself, "why do you write?" The amazing truth is that, I am not tensed as to what to write though I need the right atmosphere and condition for the flow of inspiration but I write because it's just part of me. Consciously and unconsciously I am writing with ease.

*Insights For Today: If I ask you today, why do you sing? Why do you pray? Why do you fast? Why are you into that business? Why are you into that job? Why do you want to travel? Why are you doing what you are doing? Why do you want to take the step you want to take? .... What will your answer be?*

*_Prayer point: Dear Lord, I ask for Divine direction, let me never be confuse in life as to what to do and as to why I am doing what I am doing in Jesus name. Keep walking by Faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: THE POWER OF HIS MERCY*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Romans  9:16  So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
  James  2:13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

The scriptures reiterated the fact that God is a merciful God and that His mercy endures forever more. One of His nature that He cannot push aside is His mercy, no matter how angry God is based on the sins the people, we have also seen that even in the midst of His wrath, His mercy is still shown.

Our Father is such a merciful father unlike our earthly father. For instance, He sent Jesus to die for us while we were yet in sin. Men will not forgive you until you say “Sorry” but God forgave us even before we said “sorry”. This is a demonstration of His mercy.

David spoke so much about God’s mercy because Himself was a full beneficiary of the mercies of God.
Another demonstration of His mercy  was in the life of Job. What he lost was restored back to him not because he was fit to change things but because God’s mercy sustained him. We saw Job in Job 3:1-14 cursing the day he was born out of frustration and severe attacks. Job would have literally given up hope if not for the mercies and grace of God that held him.

*Insights For Today: God will show mercy, all you have to do is trust Him for His mercy to be unveiled in your life.*

*_Prayer point: Everlasting Father, grant me the grace to hold on and trust in your mercy irrespective of all that happens in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: WHAT MATTERS?*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

1 Corinthians  7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.

Countless number of people have lived their lives to chance others just live the way they think will be good while some others have just drawn their conclusion based on the kind of occurrences or situation they found themselves in but what exactly is God's take on this?

First, from our text for today, the Lord made it clear that, whether you're circumcised or not doesn't make you any better, what makes you better is that you decide to do or keep or take heed to the word of God.

We have a generation of people who don't really care about what really matters as long as they are doing well in terms of being stable, that is, being satisfied the way they are with the resources they have.

Ecclesiastes  12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

The Bible says "the whole duty of man is to rever God and keep His commandments". To keep His commandments simply means to be a sort of His word.

In Matt 3:33-35 Jesus made a striking comment which many of us as Christians do not pay attention to, He said "my brothers, sisters and mother are those who hear the word and do them". This means as long as you're a keeper of the word, you're not permitted to be an ordinary man but a brother/sister of God Himself. This is amazing, isn't it? Mark  3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

*Insights For Today: What matters is not that we should only hear the word, not that we should be circumcised or uncircumcised but that we should keep His word.*

*_Prayer Point: Father, give me the grace that will enable me to consistently be the doer of your word in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: TRUE SECURITY - IN HIS NAME*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Proverbs  18:10  The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Security in Christ Jesus is conditional, this means that you can’t be secured if certain conditions are not met. What then are the conditions based on proverbs 18:10?

1. You must be righteous
2. You must run into Him

Inasmuch as true security can be found in His name, the ending portion of our text in Proverbs 18:10 confirms that, for you to enjoy that security, you must take a certain step which is to run into Him.
You know, I have heard someone say "God will do whatever He wants to do irrespective of what you do, whether you do something or do nothing". The real truth is that "with or without you, God remains God and cannot deny Himself but God won't do anything in your own life if you refuse to do something.

What I am saying is that, nothing is free in God, someone may say "this is heretic because salvation is free". Well do you really believe in scriptures? Am sure you do. Was Jesus not sacrificed as a Lamb without blemish for the sins of the whole world? Sure He was, so do you see that even as free as salvation is, someone paid for it and someone else must still take a step further to confess before he/she gets saved.

If salvation was really free, Jesus wouldn't have been sacrificed for sins and if we all can just be saved by merely knowing that Jesus died then everyone should have been saved because everyone knows that Jesus died but only those who believe, accept and confesses Christ gets saved.

This same principle governs the operation of God, you can't be kept in perfect peace if your mind is not stayed on Him. The righteous has to run into the name that is a strong tower for he/she to be safe.

*Insights for today: You can find rest and true security in Him*

*_Prayer point: Father, teach and help me to trust in your name in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: DECLARING THE TRUTH THAT YOU BELIEF*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

2 Corinthians  4:13  We having the same Spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

It is not enough to claim to believe a word spoken to you either from the written word or by His Spirit. The Lord said in Numbers 11:38 hh, "say unto them, as truly as I live sayeth the Lord, as you have spoken in my ears, even so will I do unto you. This means that, you must say something if you want to see something.

Whatever you can't boldly declare, you do not truly believe. Believe is a strong affirmation of the truth in you, it is when you speak it out that it becomes faith. You don't truly have faith if you don't declare what you affirm in you.

*Insights For Today: Whatever is too big for your mouth to declare will be too big for your hand to handle. What you cannot declare boldly may not cross your path in life. If you believe, you will speak.*

♦ *TOPIC: WRONG FOCUS (I HAVE NO MAN)*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

John  5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?
 5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I HAVE NO MAN, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

I was startled and at the same time speechless when the Holy Ghost brought this to me again..

Jesus met this man who had been impotent for 38 years and said to him "do you want to be made whole?" And look at his response, "I have no man".

This man didn't give an answer but a complain. It is like asking an elderly person "do you want to eat?" and he responds by saying, "I am asleep". I wondered because this man who had suffered this age long ordeal wasn't even ready to receive his healing, because the answer he gave was completely off point, in other words, he didn't even bother to answer the question because he had over time fixed his eyes and focus on man and now when God appeared on the scene, he only ended up confessing and showing us exactly where his focus was.

 This man doesn't believe he could receive anything from God without any man.
Note that, this message is not to water down the place of man in God helping you or to say that man is not vital in God reaching out to you but what the Lord is trying to reveal to us from His word today is that, we shouldn't put our trust and focus in and on man but in and on Him alone.

How can you be asked "do you want to be healed? And you are saying "I don't have a man". This answer is not only an answer that shows a man who is dependent on man but it shows that such a man has shifted all his trust to man. This is what God is against.

*Insights for today: Trust in the Lord and you won't be put to shame. If you don't have a man, just ensure that you have a God.*

*_May the Lord help you and deliver you from wrong focus in Jesus name. Every age long ordeal or situation shall be terminated today in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
