FOLLOW ME
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...
One time, the Lord Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee and he saw two fishermen,… “ hey follow me, he says and I will make you fishers of men”, the bible said these two men immediately dropped their net and followed him. The Lord did not call them because they are changed person, but he called them as they were. And they also followed him regardless of whom they were. But along the way, they become a change person.
When the Lord Jesus called us, he did not call us because we are already change, but as we follow him with all our heart, we gradually become a change person. It is not our work to ask the Lord to change us, all we need to do is to follow him, and he will automatically change us. “ We do the following and God will do the Changing”
What God want from us is to have a better relationship with us. When we read the bible, it is an experience, but when the word of God is preached, the purpose of the message is for you and me to have relationship with the Lord. for example: A wedding is an experience but after the wedding day, you start relationship, if there is no relationship between the husband and wife, then the marriage collapse. Also having a baby is an experience but raising the child, you need to build a good relationship.
Relationship is more stronger than experience. People look for experience when they come to God, but God is calling us in order to have relationship with us as a father and son.
Therefore brothers and sisters, when we follow the Lord, we build a good relationship with Christ and our love for him become stronger than ever, and nothing shall be able to separate us from the love we have in Christ…I urge you today to build a good relationship with the Lord and not experience. And always remember the Lord loves first before you loves him.
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
THE PRINCIPLE OF SERVING THE LORD
Greetings brothers and sisters in the Lord wherever you are, the Lord has sent me to you today to enlighten you more about this very particular topic, “The principle of serving the Lord”. Brethren, our Christian life is all about serving the Lord, we were called to serve and not to be a boss over the people of God…There is a particular gift that you receive from the Lord when you serve, this gift is only meant for those who serve with humility. It is not for everyone that qualify to receive this great gift, for not everyone is willing to serve, The gift is when you serve the Lord with humility, you receive the gift of seeing the Lord and hearing from him,. Either through vision or dreams….The Lord will reveal himself to you more and more and speak to you about issues.
There is a great prophet in the bible that serve the Lord with humility since his childhood….that is prophet Samuel”… prophet Samuel has come to leave in the house of the Lord since childhood through the vow his mother Hannah made to the Lord, and he has to serve the Lord for the rest of his life….Samuel responsibility was to make sure the light of God’s house keeps burning. It must not go off day or night…Samuel served with humility and because of his servitude, the Lord reveal himself to him.
Leadership is all about serving, Anyone who leads and doesn’t serve, they don’t last forever. They fall at the end ….But when you serve the Lord with great humility, You become more powerful and spiritually strong. The Lord empowers you more with the spirit of humility, spiritual discernment, and great wisdom..
Therefore beloved brothers and sisters, I encourage you today to desire the altitude of serving .May the peace of the Lord be with you. And always know that the Lord loves you first.
BELIEVE IN GOD NO MATTER WHAT COMES ON YOUR WAY
Fellow believers in Christ, God bless you all. The Lord sent me to you today to challenge your believe. Your belief is a result of something you have heard many times about yourself, and you belief about yourself. You didn’t believe you were dumb till you heard someone say to you, you were dumb, you didn’t believe you couldn’t learn till you heard somebody say to you, you can’t learn anything So therefore your life has fulfilled the prophesy you heard about yourself. These things that you believe had become your vision statement.
Brothers and Sisters, the problem is that, not what people say or think about you that matters, but what you think about yourself. You will never completely be healed or made whole until you start speaking to yourself, You talk to your mind, you talk to your childhood, you talk to the crises around you, or else you cannot be set free. Like the woman with the issue of blood, she talk to herself many times, if I can touch the edge of his garment ,she says, she would be made whole . And after make effort to touch the hem of Jesus garment , she was instantly made whole. She was set free by her own belief and by keep on talking to herself.
Brothers and Sisters, you cannot overcome what you will not confront, when you start running from one thing, you are going to keep running from everything and everyone. You are going to run away from true love, running away from life and responsibility, then you keep on running and running . That is why you need to stop running and face whatever you have to face and deal with whatever you have to deal with.
So fellow believers, I encourage you today to start changing the situation around you by belief in yourself first and keep on talking to yourself. you can never get anyone to believe in you until you believe in yourself first, you can never get anyone to love you until you start loving yourself first. And nobody can do this but you yourself.
I have to go now, may the peace of the Lord be with your Spirit. And always remember, that God loves you first before you start loving him.
God Bless you.

THE HOPE OF GLORY
Fellow believers in Christ, as a child of the Most High, we draw hope from the Lord even though we are disappointed, oppressed and confused in life. Even though we fail in our attempt to survive in the challenges of life, we still draw strength and hope from the Lord .And even though the circumstance seems useless and hopeless, we still draw strength and hope from the Almighty God.
The beginning of life may seems rough, hash and complicated, but because we depend on the Lord and stand on the hope of his glory, we have no fear rather than confident and better tomorrow. The bible teaches that faith is of things hope for and evident of things not seen. While would I hope for something I already have, it makes no sense at all, I hope because Christ in me gives me confidence and an assurance that my tomorrow would be better than yesterday.
Believe in Christ no matter what comes on your way, you may not smile or enjoy life today, but one things I know as a prophet of God and assure you, that Christ would never fail you when you depend on his glory. He did it for Joseph, the son of Jacob, he was sold into slavery by his own brothers but the Lord turn the page around and he became second in command in Egypt. The same people that sold him became his own slave and beg him for his mercy.
So followers of Christ, believers , people of God, is good to hope and keep on hoping and Christ would never fail you.. May the peace of God be with you all, always know that Christ loves you first.
God bless you.
