Isaiah 66 vs 7-10, "Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son.8Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.9Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God.10"Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. Psalms 30 vs 6. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Every war, every battle and every challenging situation will come to an end. God will do a new thing as you stay connected with scripture. When victory becomes evident, don't relax, there's more to battle. Those who relax eventually becomes winners of yesterday, and those who keep on fighting, keep on winning remain winners every day until Christ comes. Life is full of wars,battles and challenges, you can't afford to be defeated. Victory is your portion! Stay connected to God and he will do a new thing! Remember, a nation that never existed, can be born in a day through the power of the Almighty God.

Revelation 12:7 -9.... 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The first war recorded was in heaven when Michael fought and won the battle against Satan. Satan became an outcast thereafter and he decided to start tormenting human as a result or as revenge so to say. Constantly, we fight battles in every department of life. You must be a winner in all the department of your life in order to be called a success. How you will win those battles is determined by your ability to study and apply the word of God into the situations of your life. You are born to win,therefore, go and succeed as you listen to this podcast episode. God bless you richly.

TOPIC: ORDERLINESS IS NEXT TO GOOD MANAGEMENT, PREVENTS CHOAS IN PERSONAL LIFE AND BUSINESS (PART 2)

BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 3 vs 1(NLT)-"For everything, there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to harvest.

MESSAGE

Today, my question for you is; why should you live a life of disorderliness and expect an outstanding success? A routine life is different from an orderly life. You can only form a routine around a created order or a created disorder. For example, the Bible says, "study to show yourself approved unto God" ref. 2Timothy 2:15. Also, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth."Joshua 1 vs 8.

If you must obtain something worthwhile, receive a crown, or do mighty things, you must form the right order that will enable you achieve that particular thing. You cannot choose to sleep, fold your hands, spend enormous time on social media, gossip, hang around friends and gist the whole time at home or in your place of work, in your circle or routinely, and expect to know what someone else that studies hard day and night knows. Studying should not be limited to writing school exams that honor you with certificates. Life itself has a whole lot of tests, exams, and projects.

"A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber" ~Proverbs 6:10-11 (NLT)

Jesus was believed to have learnt carpentry, Matthew was a tax collector, Peter was a professional fisherman, and John was a Fisherman as well. Jesus chose to work with professionals who were diligent and those who did their work in an orderly manner. They were found at the right place working. What are you doing? What do you have in your hands? What will you be remembered for? You can only give what you have. A life that must continuously succeed and progress must continue to revisit the order he created. Each day has its own blessing, and breakthrough, your readiness is what will determine if you will get them or not. The right order is what generates results.

To have a good relationship, you must be open and willing to communicate effectively and efficiently. To pass a test or exam, you must study as hard as you can. To know what God says about you, you must have faith, pray and study the scriptures. Success in business requires right training, be willing to go for that training to help you become a better person. A little push from the inside of you will get so much done.

Get up from where you are, create an order, draw a time-table for daily living, map out timelines to achieve a particular task, give every activity a duration/time, manage time by planning the day ahead of time, cut off unnecessary time wasting friends/relationships, maintain a disciplined healthy lifestyle, persevere, never make prayer an option, pray every time about all things. Imitate God, be a person of order in doing the right thing over and over, do not relent. Life is a journey! If you plan well, you win. When you win, become a student again. Yesterday’s strength is never sufficient for today or tomorrow. Learn, unlearn and re-learn always and at all times.

There are three arms or branches of government in a democratic setting, they include; the executive, judiciary and legislature. These branches see to the smooth running of the government and the society in which they govern. Every elected official run for elections and re-elections at a particular time and season mostly every two years or four years in most countries. There is a time to campaign and win the heart of electorate, a time to cast votes and a time to be sworn-in in order to govern.

Humans see the need to promote peace and manage the affairs in the society; hence institutions and constitutions were created to this effect. When we look at school systems- elementary to university, you will discover order; there is a time to sit for an exam, a time to resume class, a time for tests, a time to write papers, midterm/semester break, a time for vacations and a time to move to the next class/level/stage. In fact, various classes manage their affairs with a class time-table that states what subjects/courses teachers/lecturers are to come in. In the end of all these, a student who is able to follow through is awarded a certificate.

The author, creator and owner of the whole universe- God Almighty, is a master of order. All things He created were according to order, nothing was out of place. All the beautiful things we see in creation were made by him. For example, God created all things one day after the other. He made sure the seas he created had fishes in them and He created birds to have fun in the sky as well. All things were perfectly made by Him. The book of Genesis chapter one gave us a detailed account, but let us highlight some;

DAY ONE~ Genesis 1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..."

DAY TWO~ Genesis 6 ..."Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth... 8 God called the space "sky"."

DAY THREE~ Genesis 9..."Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear..." 10 God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas"..."

DAY FOUR~ Genesis 14..."Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night....15 Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth."16 God made two great lights, the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made stars."

DAY FIVE~ Genesis 20...."Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind."

DAY SIX~ Genesis 24..."Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offsprings of the same kind--livestock, small animals...and wild animals..."

DAY SEVEN~ Genesis 27..."...God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them".

We can see order in the book of Genesis. After forming man, the digestive system, organs, cell, skeleton and flesh that cover man were made to also work in order. Any shift in order or little fault in these human parts could chaos in the body. God is a God of order.

MESSAGE

Continue...;

The fact was Saul planned to assassinate David but the reality was that David found favour before Jonathan, the son of the Assassin-in-chief of Saul. The fact was, Saul threw his spear to pin David to the wall, the reality was, David made a good escape that night. Later on in life, David became King at age 30 (2 Samuel 5vs4), which means He went through all the distress, disappointments, escape from assassination early in life. He did something remarkable this time around when he became king. He asked if there was anyone left in the house of Saul, the assassin, a man who plotted to kill him and missed, that he may show them kindness. (2 Samuel 9vs1). Like, seriously? Show kindness to the generation of someone who tried to kill you? Then, a man called Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, grandson of Saul the assassin was found, despite his handicap situation on both legs, David took him in and Mephibosheth enjoyed the rest of his life with lots of servants serving him at the command of David.(2 Samuel 9vs6-12).

Why worry about those trying their best to demean you at all cost? Why worry about those who have hurt you in the past? Why lock them in the inner most prison of your heart? Release them today, pray for them, and let them go that you may see and possess the glory and lifting allocated for you. You are the one delaying or slowing down the glory and testimony intended for you by letting an unforgiving spirit dwell in you. Say no to unforgiveness today and forgive everyone in your past, present and write a blank check for the future in the bank of forgiveness for those who will/may still hurt you.

Regardless of your age, you still have a lot of time to forgive, pray for them and move on. Call their names in prayers, just let them go, set them free, bless them and clear the atmosphere for fresh blessings to pour on you. Unforgiveness is like the Prince of Persia as seen in the book of Daniel 10vs13 blocking your way for so long, and preventing you from getting ahead in your desired area of life.

Finally, when you speak, speak love, do not let built up bitterness propel hateful words from your mouth. Dissolve all the built up hatred, bitterness and mood swings emanating from experiential hurts, forgive others, pray for them and dedicate your own life completely to God. God is waiting for you, please come home to Him, there is a place for you in the kingdom.

The deep secrets of the kingdom have been revealed to us by the Spirit of God. The greater the challenges, hurt and difficult situations, the higher and greater the glory. You have only one direction to go in life as you act upon the word of God. The direction set for you is upward and forward. Plug into that and see it come to pass. Those who hurt you did their best; the rest is up to you as you have been admonished with this message. The word of God is clear when he says;

"...the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God- his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. This is what the scriptures mean when they say, "no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2vs7-9 (NLT). In honour of the above scripture, living free has now become a possibility as you move on, and as you step into the special domain prepared for you a long time ago, that no one has seen, heard or imagined. I congratulate you on this special day of turn around, moving on, celebration, freedom and a new dawn.

TOPIC: LIVING FREE; FORGIVE AND MOVE ON (PART 3)

BIBLE READING: Matthew 5vs44-45 - "But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust alike."

MESSAGE

A very good question I must ask you? How many or how much good did you do for God before He sent Jesus Christ to die for your sin? Jesus started his ministry at age 30 (Luke 3vs33). He did not live long after the commencement of his ministry. Jesus Christ died for you and I, he gave his life for us and forgave those who crucified him. He let go, even at the point of death, those he once healed, delivered and provided for, who should have rescued him from crucifixion but instead triggered it. Jesus said: "...Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing..."And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. ~Luke 23vs34

You may ask, Jesus forgave them? Really? Why did He do that? Because He knew the end before the beginning of things, situations or events. That fact was, they lied against Him, they beat Him up, spat on Him and finally, they crucified Him. The reality was, He forgave them and pleaded with the Father to forgive them for their ignorance. Those who hurt you are as good as those who crucified Jesus. They have no idea of what they are setting you up for. Perhaps, it may look like they know what they are doing with their natural eyes. As Jesus saw the glory ahead with supernatural eyes, see they glory ahead with your spiritual eyes in every similar situation. In order to see clearly and spiritually, you must first forgive, let go, stop the ill-talking about them, release them freely from your emotion (soul) and release them from your heart (spirit), let them go! See the glory ahead. David a man after God's heart did the same too. It is not surprising that David became a man after God's heart. He forgave Saul, who planned to assassinate him (1 Samuel 19vs1,and 9-10). David saw the glory ahead. What do you see in your current situation? I urge you, see a glory ahead.

MESSAGE: You may not be able to control how people deal with you or how people hurt you. You need to activate within you the ability to control how to respond to hurtful situations. For example, if in the past a brother was in a relationship with you and cared so much that you felt more loved and secure in his arms, then suddenly he made a u-turn to share and transfer his affection to another sister and he began to pick on every little thing you did in order to get away with the years of your life that he has wasted. Finally, he left and your loving relationship disappeared just like that. What did you do? What happened next? It could also be a brother that a sister did this to. What did you do? What happened next? If the one you were kind to suddenly becomes your back stabber and speaks ill of you, what will you do? What happens next? Perhaps the one you faithfully served and protected his interest planned to kill you despite your service, what will you do? What happens next? It is a fact that those things happened in your past, it is a fact that those things may be happening to you currently. But, it is a reality that you are still very much alive to read this, it is a reality that God has made provisions for you to move on because you deserve better than what you used to settle for. You were once blind, but now you can see. You were once lost in your own desires, now you are found in God's agenda. Stand up, shake it off, and move on! "...and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us." ~ Matthew 6vs12 As you may have had in your past or present those who hurt you, also, you may have had in your past, recent times or presently one person or those who may have touched your life specially and it forever remained in your heart. They are the special ones who did something remarkable and generous to you that no matter what happens, no matter their mistakes, no matter the hurt or shortcomings; you will keep in remembrance that one act of kindness. You keep saying to yourself, "they deserve better", "they are good to me", "the unpalatable situations presented by them to me, it is not who they are." You can't get over the amount of kindness you got in your life through them. That one experiential knowledge of who they are can never wax cold. Therefore, you easily let go of any hurt, or shortcomings. Good for you! That is what God expects of you. The only thing you must do is, you should extend such forgiving ability to undeserving people either in your inner circle, family, relatives, workplace, school, or worship center (church or fellowship).

There was a parable of a servant who borrowed a huge amount of money from his master but couldn’t pay back, and in the process of taking account of debtors, the master who happened to be a King remembered this particular debtor. Then he decided that the debtor should be sold, together with his wife, children and all his belongings. The servant debtor begged him and cried bitterly with his face on the floor seeking for debt relief/cancellation. As a result, the King was moved with compassion and cancelled his debt. He became free and reunited with his family.

But, something happened thereafter. The same servant, who got debt cancellation worth millions of dollars from the King, went after his own debtor and demanded his money be paid immediately despite repeated plea for more time from the servant that was now in the position of a creditor. He refused the plea and got his debtor arrested and thrown in prison until the money was paid off. The on-lookers and by standers took the matter to the King and broke the news of the cruel event to him. Suddenly, the King became furious at the report and issued a command to get his former debtor arrested and thrown into prison for refusing to pass the baton of kindness and forgiveness until his debt was paid in full.

"Kindness is like a baton in a relay race, it is important you pass it on when you receive one".

God is so gracious to us because when man fell, he came to our rescue from the pit. He gave us eternal hope. His love never fails. He gave us the best gift ever; His only son who died for our sins, resurrected, and ascended to prepare a place for us in the Kingdom. What did humans do to deserve this special treatment from the Most High? Your place in his heart is so beautiful that even Satan became so jealous, deceived man, and right now he is on a threefold mission to steal, to kill and to destroy. Still, the most High kept upholding us as the apple of his eyes. He sent the comforter, The Holy Spirit to be with us and teach us all things.

All these, are royal treatments, they are kingdom lifestyles because the wealth of these virtues are abundant in His kingdom. He forgives us our sins, in fact He invites you to come and reason with him no matter the color of your sin. Your sin may be as scarlet, or red as crimson, he has made provisions for them to be white as snow and pure as wool (Isaiah 1vs18). He does not hold you to ransom anymore. He is everly faithful and just, to turn things around in your interest for the edification of the body of Christ and the glorification of the kingdom of God. This is His lifestyle, an unbeatable Kingdom lifestyle. We belong to his kingdom. Why the delay in being merciful and forgiving? He has called you and given you the ability to do likewise.
