HEALER OF DESTINIES


There is nothing further than the truth. I live for Jesus only!  Everything I do has to do with publishing Jesus and that has made me who and what I am today. When a man is sick, he goes in search of a physician who is a professional in the field. He doesn’t go seeking a carpenter or a mechanic because they are not schooled in the area of health. In fact, different people or type of physician address different ailments; that is to say that you will have to seek the once who are schooled in the area of your ailment. As the optician is to the eye and dentist is to the tooth, so is Jesus to destinies!

I simply want to introduce Him to you in this epistle. He is able to heal any form of ailment regardless of how protracted the ailment had been. He stated categorically stated His mission in John 10:10b saying;

“...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”

Jesus is a life-giver and interestingly, He didn’t come for the saved or healthy but for the unhealthy.  If Peter had not met Him, he would have died a poor fisherman. In the same vein, Paul would have gone to hell on the ground of persecuting the church. But Jesus came to his rescue.

WHAT IS DESTINY?
It is the end of a journey; the intention for creation. Your destiny is your purpose. Your destiny is your life.

CAN ONES’ DESTINY BE THWARTED?
Yes! Judas Iscariot was intended by Jesus to form one of the Apostolic Pillars of the church but satan thwarted it. Then he went on to lay his (satan) filthy hands on Peter and Jesus came to his aid. This tells us that we need to be very careful even as believers because scripture already said to us that the very elect will be deceived these last days. Beware!

ONLY JESUS CAN HEAL DESTINIES
You will agree with me that the “best person” in position to repair a gadget is its manufacturer. However, while inter-ship could be done to become a repairer of another man’s product, Jesus remains the only repairer for destinies because He made them in the first place. Now, in case you don’t even know where you are now let alone where you are going; you are blind! And you need to meet Jesus. However, Hosea 4:6 says;
 
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...”
 
Therefore, even believer are victims of sick destinies. All you need do now is say “Lord Jesus, Help me”. Peradventure you are not yet saved, Please repeat after me “Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner, please forgive all my trespasses, wash me in Your blood and give me a new beginning as I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour from now on, Amen”.
 
  Henceforth, we can all approach His throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Congratulations and God bless you!

HAVE A CLOCK OF YOUR OWN


One of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of man today is the idea of running his race by another man’s clock. Apostle Paul said;

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may obtain” 1Corinthians 9v24

As I listened to a mentor of mine as he shed light of a knotted issue, he made reference to an astounding statement he made in response to someone who was trying to advise him on getting married. He said “I told her that I have my own clock Ma”.

The subject of running our race by others time has wrought so much havoc in the world today than you can ever imagine, especially in the pursuit of wealth and money to be precise. The pursuit of money has driven many to their early graves than it has taken to the ivory towers of life. Little wonder scripture says;

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrow” 1Timothy 6v10

Now, money is good in itself because it answers all things as well as a defence, Ecclesiastes 10v19, 7v12 but the “love” of it is evil. Allowing the pursuit of money to take the place of God makes it evil because you are a servant to the one you are loyal.

However, being carried away by the “prosperity” of others is the idea behind having your own clock. You must understand that you are sent on an assignment different from that of any other you see on this planet earth. Even twins are sent on different assignments with different time targets. That is where the saying “you cannot run faster than your shadow”, trying to surmount these hills of life in any other way than the slow and steady mode will result in running by other person’s clock.

In John 10v1, Jesus said if you go by any other way than the one that has been marked out for you, you are a thief.  Unfortunately the vision and mission of the thief is to steal, kill and destroy, John 10v10.

Furthermore, the house of the thief will eventually be destroyed and completely wiped out, Zachariah 5v4.

Many today are in the stead of thieves by virtue of what they do and how they go about it. You cannot bear your cross and still be able to look in too many directions. Many are able to look in too many directions and get carried away by odds because they aren’t bearing their cross but helping others bear theirs as it were.

Having your own clock is accompanied by so many benefits;
*Focus-it helps you to be focused and steady in whatever you are doing which in
turn increases your efficiency.
*It brings about progress
*It eliminates confusion and destroys ignorance, Hosea 4v6
*It is the pathway to honor and dignity, Proverbs 29v18
*It generates confidence, Hebrew 10v33-36
*It leads to fulfillment in life
*Vision guarantees long life
*It makes you to gain speed in life
*It keeps you in centre of God
*You will elude being victims of horrible circumstances and situations.

Conclusively, don’t be carried away by other persons accomplishment; don’t make the mistake of comparing yourself with others; run your own race at your own pace which is God’s word as revealed to you and you will get to those junctions where you could have envied others in time past just at the right time, Ecclesiastes 3v1-8.

However, if you will ever accomplish any meaningful feat in life, you’ve got to have you own clock by which you run the race that has been marked out for you. No athlete runs his race by his own time, no! You are guided by the referee’s time so; you can’t afford to rest, slow down or even stop to pity fallen fellow athletes. Life will only deliver it’s best to you on the ground that you have your own clock and much more, that you are running by it. Hid my words please!

LIVING LIFE IN HIS PRESENCE

In an ancient event, our LORD JESUS had just finished preaching and HE thought it will be good for those on the other side of the river to benefit from the message HE preaches that He said to His disciple, let us cross over to the other side of the river. HE entered a ship in the company of other small boats and went straight to the lower deck to rest before arriving to preach on the other side of the river.

They started sailing but as they sailed, a storm arose, it was so terrible that water began to enter into the ship and that big thing was being tossed around on the sea. The captain of the ship tried all they knew about sailing and controlling the ship amidst storm but all their sailing philosophies proved abortive, then they remembered that the miracle worker is sleeping in the lower deck. They sent for HIM, and HE came up just stretched out HIS hand and said “peace be still” immediately the storm stilled. See Mark4:35-40

We are to learn one or two lessons from this real life story;

Firstly, let us know that with JESUS in our boats does not automatically expel storm. In other words, that you are a Christian doesn’t expel you from the trouble attempts of the enemies but the good news is that you will not be overpowered by their raging storm. The bible says that we are more than conquerors, Romans 8v37 and acknowledging the presence of JESUS in your boat is the secret to your victory over any form of storm in life.

Secondly, that the storm is allowed by GOD to make you and strengthen you. The bible says count it all joy when you go through divers trials and temptation, James 1v2 it is all to prove you. Gold comes impure but it is it’s proving through the fire that makes the expensive commodity called gold. So will you be if you allow the storm to do its job, you will come out expensive and shining.

Thirdly, that it doesn’t matter how experienced you are in that field of yours or that business of yours, JESUS knows more than you do and will always be available to correct every wrong of yours if you call on HIM. Go ahead and call on HIM now and HE will not delay in coming to your rescue. Just say LORD JESUS HELP ME. Fear is not the solution but a call on HIM will do it all.

Furthermore, your boat can be your home, marriage, children, business, job and everything that concerns you, make sure JESUS is with you in your boat because only HIS presence in your boat will guarantees you safe journey in life. In other words you must be born again.

Moreover, let me add that with JESUS in your boat, HE takes care of the fare because HE was the idea behind you setting out, how do I know this? If you look at the book of Jonah1:3 The bible makes it clear that Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, he went to down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish; SO HE PAID THE FARE…

This brings us to another point that your security in the journey of life  is only guaranteed in the presence of GOD and anything outside that will only birth frustration. Also that you must be careful the people you call your friends, they might be running away from GOD like Jonah and will cause you havoc. Your fare is paid by the MASTER, not you, every endeavor you find yourself paying for in life is your fault.

We make the mistake of for instance borrowing and expecting the MASTER to pay it, HE will not do that because HE gave an outright instruction that we should not borrow, we will pay dearly for every wrong step we take in life. Unfortunately this as claimed many lives, in other words make sure JESUS is the initiator of everything you will ever lunch into for the rest of your life.

In conclusion, no journey can be successful without JESUS in that boat. It is with HIM that life delivers to you its best cheaply. Hence, do you already have HIM in your boat and still living in fear and struggling with battles you can’t obviously win alone. Just go for HIM now and ask for HIS help. But if you have never given your life to HIM then say this prayer of subscription and you will be connected immediately;

LORD JESUS I AM A SINNER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME ALL MY SINS, I HEREBY ACCEPT YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR. AMEN.

Congratulations and welcome to EDEN where every trip you make is in the convoy of the LORD JESUS with your safety guaranteed. Henceforth, that business of yours will begin to thrive regardless of any economy crisis, your marriage will be blissful and your children will not be wayward, your promotion will be rapid. In fact, ALL THINGS WILL BEGIN TO WORK IN YOUR FAVOUR.BE GOOD.

GOD IS SET FOR YOU TODAY



Text: Psalms 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it”

INTRODUCTION
Every day is the Lord’s made day. Now everything God makes is always very good and that includes today, Gen 1:31. Before anything is satisfied made, everything must already be in place. God does not deal in half-baked deals. Whatever, He has chosen to do He must have decided to bring it to completion. Every yester-day that has passed was once today and every tomorrow is coming to be today. Every day passed through today.

Many especially in the body of Christ have this belief that a particular day is set for them to receive one thing or the other from God. But I have come to tell you that every day is the Lord’s Day; today is your set day for you to receive your Financial and Ministerial breakthrough, healing, job etc. God is set for you today; until you come to this point in your life you’ll be stalled.

Hence, every day comes with diverse packages for the enviable living of mankind and we’ll be looking at a few of them in a moment. Life is meant to be abundant when you give your life to Jesus however; many are still crawling today because of their ignorance of what I will be sharing with you now.

WHAT COMES WITH EVERY DAY?
A. Salvation- 2Corinthians 6:2 says;

“...now is the day of salvation”

This is why when salvation is being preached it is emphasized that procrastination could be dangerous because in most cases, the tomorrow you are waiting for might not come. You must do all you can to always seize the moment because the next moment isn’t in your control. Hence, salvation comes with everyday in other words; provision is made for the salvation of souls every single day. However, it is essentially a matter of choice. Give your life to Jesus today because tomorrow may be too late.

B. Healing- In Mark 5:25-34, we read of the woman with the issue of blood that lasted twelve years until she met Jesus. Physician who always gave appointments have failed and worst of all, she had lost her fortune to that predicament. So, invariably what she now wanted was someone who would either heal her for free or at the worst on credit, then Jesus came through for her. Jesus will come through for you today.

Hence, because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, Hebrew 8:13 she didn’t need to book an appointment with Him. Jesus never had a specific office where He attended to people or a clinic where He ministered healing to the crowd that thronged Him daily; He simply went about doing good. Where He meets you is His office for that moment. Healing comes with every day; that is why I know that it doesn’t matter for how long you’ve been tied down by whatever predicament, as you lift up your hands today calling “Jesus thou son of David”, He will stop to attend to you.

C. Provision- Philippians 4:19 announce God’s benevolence in supplying all our needs according to His riches in glory. God does not need to give you an appointment to meet your need. He has all it takes to do it now. Something very humbling happened in John 2:1-11, there was a wedding ceremony and Jesus and His disciples were present on invitation. At a very crucial point in the ceremony, they ran out of wine and pandemonium was all over with shame knocking hard at the door of this newly wedded couple, Jesus attended to the situation on the spot and shame took to its heels while the raging pandemonium was silenced. This is just to tell you that there is no level of need that is either too much or late for Jesus to meet.

Furthermore in John 6:5-13 Jesus saw the need to feed His audience which numbered about five thousand men save women and children. The looked seemingly impossible that Phillip said;

“...Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little” John 6:7

The end result of every matter Jesus gets involved in is always determined from the beginning. They all eat to satisfaction and had leftover. I have good news for you, those needs in your life that looks very impossible to be met will be taken care of by Jesus today.

D. Paying Debt- When you run to God to rescue you from the shackles of debt, He wouldn’t ask you to come back later. He attends to you right away. You are here and neck-deep in debt, the Lord ask me to tell you “it is settled”. Just a quick reference from scriptures, a Prophet in the Old Testament died leaving his wife with two sons to cater for and a huge amount of debt to wipe off, 2Kings 4:1-8. She tried settling these bills on her but couldn’t, in anyway if she couldn’t with her husband how could she think she would be able to offset the bills alone?

Her debtor decided to take her two sons to slavery since she couldn’t pay so she ran to Elisha the Prophet and explained her predicament to him. Because God will not allow His own to see corruption He attended to her with a sense of urgency to avert the shame fast ravaging His servant’s memorial. Having settled her bills she had a leftover that lasted them a lifetime. Listen to this carefully, that debt that is fast eroding your dignity is wiped off now in Jesus name, Amen.

E. Prosperity- God made His heart-beat known in 3John2 saying;

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”

In other words, prosperity is God’s will for you and that is why He makes it a point of duty to release it on a daily basis. Believers are destined to prosper in season and out of season because Psalms 1:3 says;

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper”

 The prosperity of the saint knows no bound or restriction of neither time, day nor weather. God knows that the reputation of any King is measured by the standard of living of his citizens. He in the same vein sees it a shameful thing to see believer’s poor. So that no limitation whatsoever stands against anyone, He tied our prosperity to a covenant made with Abraham, Deuteronomy 8:18 says;

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”

Glory to God, that covenant is still active today and you and I were included in that bond. Your role in that covenant is spelled out in Joshua 1:8 and it reads;

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”

You will not just succeed but have “good success”. Key into this covenant now if you are already born-again because what you don’t know most times is what arms you, Hosea 4:6. Act now that you know.

Conclusively, I have just mentioned a few of the goodies that accompanies every single day; any good thing your mind can either imagine or think about is in today; your house, car, finance, daily bread etc are all in today. Claim what is your now however; you can partake of this abundance and open doors if you are not safe. Lest you are your own antagonist, say this prayer after me please “Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner, please forgive all my trespasses, wash me in Your blood and give me a new beginning as I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour from now on, Amen”. Congratulations, you can now join us in harnessing the benefits embedded in today because God is set for you today. God bless you.

GIANTS BEGAT GIANTS


Every living creature produces after its kind and not just its type. In the same vein, the same principle applies in seeding and harvesting; you can’t plant maize and expect to harvest wheat. Scripture says the one who does the reproduction of kinds Himself cannot be mocked for no man reaps anything different from what is sown.

Hence for you to be crossed with yourself or any other because of the way things are going with you is absurd because it could only be the dividend of what you have sown. At this point you will agree with me that your life lies practically in your own hands. You know Jesus said you should do unto other the way you want to be treated. That is simply the principle of sowing and harvesting.

Interesting and unfortunately for many, the creator of Heaven and Earth has covenanted that as long as the earth remains in other words, as long as you are alive and living on this planet seedtime and Harvest shall not seize, Genesis 8v22.

He is indirectly telling you that as long as you live and want to continue living especially a successful life, seeding must be your continuous exercise which you cannot retire from. Once you stop sowing, you start dying.

Also worthy of note is the fact that it is seeding that has specific timings while the harvesting doesn’t simply because it will be obvious. Without digressing too much for you to reap fulfilment in life you have got to sow the necessary seeds such as Time, Focus, Quality Planning, Proverbs 24v27, Dedication (Deadly Commitment), ardent studying of God’s word, Joshua 1v8, 2Timothy 2v15, Think Differently, Isaiah 8v12 etc.

The above seeds amongst many others are expected to be sown of you before you can be considered a candidate for distinction in life.

Now fully back to the subject of giant birthing giants; like I already shared some time ago in one of my epistles that it takes a man of honour to bestow honour on others. But when we talk about man ability to bestow honour on another; no man wants to raise any other above himself which is the greatest limitation you are faced with in trust man for help.

King Pharaoh could at his best as a proof of his appreciation raise Joseph to his second in command, Genesis... let see Mark 6v22-23, even though King Herod asked his daughter who had impressed him through dancing to ask for whatever she will, the highest price he was willing to offer was half of his kingdom. The same thing goes for King Ahasuerus in Esther 7v2 who also could only give half of his kingdom. This is a true saying; man is limited in the help he can render to another.

However, it is a total ball game all together when it comes to God blessing man. In Genesis 1v28, we are told that God created man in His own image and likeness. When this same God was to send someone to die in our stead, He sent His only begotten son Jesus, John 3v16. When Jesus was leaving the world in flesh, He gave the glory the God head gave Him to us, John 17v22.

Conclusively, when God gives He does so abundantly, John 10v10b; He wouldn’t give you exactly what you need or asked of Him but much more than you could ever imagine, Ephesians 3v20. This is to say that there is no limit to what God can give even Himself. 1John 5v4 says;

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world...”

In other words we are born with God’s full ability in us. By reason of our nature we are empowered to do what God can do. That is why Jesus spoke with so much zeal and pain as it were that we are gods because we are children of the most High God, John 10v34, and Psalm 82v6. Are you getting anything into your spirit at all? You cannot but be moved in your spirit.

So, the product of God who you are is God in His entire person. Living in you is the trinity i.e. God the Father, God the Son (The Word), and God the Holy Spirit. You are a giant not by choice but by nature. And to solidify our affirmation on this subject lets see 1Chronicles 20v6-8;

“And yet again there was war at Gath where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was a son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servant”

From the above scripture we can deduce our conclusions on giants birthing giants; you will discover that only giants birth giants. In the same vein, only giant killers can successfully birth giant killers like David was able to reproduce after Himself.

Dear friend, if you ever want to make anything meaningful out of your short time on earth it will be wise to subscribe under the Lordship of the Giant of all giants. Let Him duplicate Himself fully in you or better let Him activate the Him in you. I discovered that God shared His attributes in all the different creatures but He put all in man so, I became aggressive and began to look forward to the lion in me to emerge and also the tiger in me to emerge and so on.

You can do the same now and I assure you it wouldn’t be long before the world will began to celebrate you. That you are hearing me now is a proof that something in me is in emergence already. Acknowledge the truth I have shared with you and watch your life move in only the upward and forward direction. Glory!
