BE AN ENCOURAGER

Dearly beloved, if you find yourself in this group, know that God brought you here as believers who are beloved, so that we could encourage ourselves. Remember, Iron sharpeneth iron, Proverbs 27:17.
The reason why the world is deteriorating in evil, is because evil people are not shy, but are spreading evil like wildfire even to those who didn't request them. But when it comes to the children of God, those who call themselves children of God cannot even associate with their fellow believers, not to talk of sharing God's word with them.
Thus, if you are too holy, don't stay away from other believers by leaving groups like this, instead, use your holiness to share God's word here, and you may encourage someone whose faith has become weak.
Therefore, fellow believers, wake up, shape up, and clean up today because Jesus is coming soon, and may God help us to be encouragers in Jesus name. You are blessed. Jesus loves you and I do too. Shalom!!!

ONLY BY GOD'S PERMISSION

Dearly beloved, As you step out in this new week, understand that nothing happens to any child of God without the knowledge of God our Heavenly Father. Glory to God!!!
As a child of God, anything that happens to you is by his permission, yes, nothing can get to you without his permission. Read Job 1:6-12 and you'll understand this.
Therefore, step out in faith, put your trust in God, and rely on his promises, for his GRACE is sufficient for you. Obey God, and his promises will come true in your life in Jesus name. Now, if you know that you are saved by grace, let's jointly honour JESUS who saved us as you endorse an overcoming Amen here. You are blessed. Have a wonderful week. Jesus loves you and I do too.

PRAYER DELIVERED IN KANSAS

SAME SEX MARRIAGE...
This interesting prayer was given in Kansas, USA, at the opening session of their Senate. It
seems prayer still upsets some people.
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities,
but this is what they heard:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says: "Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have done.
* We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
* We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
* We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
* We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.
* We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
* We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
* We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
* We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
* We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
* We have abused power and called it politics.
* We have embezzled public funds and called it essential expenses.
* We have insitutionalised bribery and called it sweets of office.
* We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
*We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
* We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh GOD, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. 
The church is now receiving international requests for copies of
this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
With the LORD'S help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become our desire so that we again can be
called "ONE NATION UNDER GOD."

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. How many people
on your list will not receive this prayer.
Do you have the boldness to pass it on?

I HAVE, AND I HAVE JUST SHOWN IT BY FORWARDING THIS TO YOU. GO ON FORWARD IT!!!

The Real Problem in Marriage

The Real Problem in Marriage
DR. TONY EVANS

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10-11 (NIV)

Not long ago, a couple came for marriage counseling with a lengthy list of all the issues they were facing. It must have had at least 30 things on it.

I felt instantly depressed as I watched them pull out that list. How am I ever going to help them solve so many issues? I thought, as they began to read every item.

On and on they read, naming what sounded like legitimate sources of conflict. I could easily see why they weren’t getting along.

Once the couple finished reading, the husband handed me the list and I faced a decision: Would I go through this list with them and provide input on each issue, or would I address the real source of their conflict?

I looked at the list. Then I looked at the couple.

Both of them had hopelessness -- even anger -- written all over their faces. Then I looked back at the list, carefully and thoughtfully penned.

And I tore it up.

Right there in front of them. You can imagine what their faces looked like then.

They’d taken time to prepare this list for our meeting, and I had just shredded it.

I leaned toward them and said, “We could talk about these 30 things, but nothing will ultimately change in your marriage, because this one thing is missing: the spiritual foundation of your relationship.

“Without establishing and maintaining a solid spiritual relationship, your list of 30 things, once solved, will just morph into another 30, and you’ll wind up back here the same time next year with another list of things to solve.”

I could tell they were listening intently, so I continued. “Get this one thing right, and all the other things will fall into place. Get a divine perspective on your marriage as the foundation for your home, and you’ll discover who your true enemy is -- and it is not each other.”

Fights in our marriages assume that our spouses are the problem.

And that’s exactly what the devil wants.

He wants me to believe my spouse is the problem -- not my own selfishness. He knows I will never fix the real problem if I believe my mate is the problem.

But ultimately, my spouse is not my enemy, nor the problem. The problem is a spiritual one brought on by my own sinful flesh, and a rebellious, clever enemy of God.

So much of what we fight about in marriage has nothing to do with the real issue. There’s almost always something deeper -- an unmet need, a lack of trust, a lack of respect, etc. These are the root of our problems and fights.

However, what makes a marriage strong is loving with a biblical love grounded in patience, kindness, loyalty, grace, and in alignment with God’s covenantal purpose for marriage.

Often things we fight about have to do with our own sinful choices, as well as the demonic realm working against us. When we fail to make a spiritual connection to everything that goes on in marriage, we’ll continue to rant about whatever the current issue is.

That’s why I must commit my marriage to prayer and cultivate a real relationship in humility while seeking God’s wisdom and guidance and asking for His love, grace and mercy.

God’s Word reminds us to “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians 6:10-11).

I’m happy to say that when the couple I mentioned earlier sought to view each other and their relationship through God’s eyes, they made every attempt to cultivate and keep their marriage.

Over time I saw the wife’s countenance lift as if she were becoming a brand-new woman. I also saw the husband enjoy a relationship with his wife that had brought him dread. To this day, they are living the fullness of a life together, in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God supplies the strength we need to successfully do battle in our marriages. So let’s use the difficulties we face to get on our knees and seek God’s face to grow closer to Him.

Dear Lord, I know that decisions made apart from Your wisdom notoriously wind up causing more harm than good. Help me seek You first, identify the true enemy in my marriage and suit up in the full armor You’ve provided so I can stand firm in the truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

JUST TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS

Brethren, I am beginning to be fed up with all those preachers who are putting more burden on sinners who wanted to be saved, by telling them, Thou shall not wear this, thou shall not wear that, or thou shall not put on this or that.
Listen, the Bible did not say, If you are a woman, and you don't put on trousers, thou shall be saved, but Romans 10:9‭-‬10 says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Sure, it all starts with the heart.
So, what am I saying here, am I saying that women should begin to put on makeups and wear trousers? NO !!!! What I am saying is that, the Gospel message is not suppose to focus on the outside, it has to deal with the heart first. So, Just tell them about JESUS, and when they give their lives to Jesus, Jesus will then give them the Holy Spirit which will then convict them of whatever sin they are committing.
That’s why Jesus said in John 16:8‭-‬11, When the Holy Spirit comes, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Certainly, anybody who has not truly given his or her life to JESUS cannot STOP COMMITTING SIN, and that's why even though they go to church, they still do all those things you're telling them not to do.
Thus, let us learn how to approach sinners in the right way, so that we could reach out this world that is perishing. May God help you to understand this message, so that you can be an effective soul winner, who will enable the saved to do God's will in Jesus name. You are so much blessed. Jesus loves you and I do too.

BATTLES OF SIGNIFICANCE

The first evidence that you are in assignment is the Battle that you attract. When David killed Goliath, Saul was after him. When Jesus launched ministry, the Pharisees and Sadducees were after him. When Jeremiah prophesied, Pashur was after him. Every man under assignment will fight three battles.
1. Accusations
2. Frustrations
3. Inner circle battle
The secret of victory is to continue in assignment. Dogs never bark at parked cars. Pirates never capture empty vessels. A tree with fruits attract stone throwers... Just remember when the devil cannot fight you, he fights what is around you or uses the people around you to fight you. Hmmmmm ( Using the people around you to fight against you is very Common,  God help us all)
Don't forget a cow that feeds a whole village is always quiet but a hen that lays one egg makes the most noise. Silence is the greatest weapon in battles of significance. ​​
But in all these:  I see u going higher &  higher, from Glory to Glory in Jesus Mighty Name.( AMEN & SHARE)

KNOW THE TRUE GOD AND SERVE HIM

Dearly beloved, as we are now in the time that many people are claiming to know God, whereas they are not, and they are busy teaching their false doctrines to innocent people who wants to serve God in spirit and in truth, but do not know, it is our duty to open your eyes as to clarify you so you could know if you are in the right place of worship.
1 Corinthians 12:3 says, Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Sure, anyone who truly know the real God cannot speak any evil against JESUS, and this is exactly what the people of other religions who are none Christians are doing.
Thus, if you want to serve God, and you are still in a place where they do not honour Jesus as Lord, it's better for you to run for your dear life, and be in a place where you can hear the truth like this, so that you'll not regret on the Judgment Day. Run, I say run away from them, so that you'll not go to hell with them.
May God help you to understand this, so that you can apply your heart to wisdom in Jesus name. Now, if you know that you're in the right place, let's jointly honour Jesus with an overcoming Amen here. You are blessed. Jesus loves you and I do too.
