SEEKING GOD EARLY

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Prov. 8:14-17.

How do you begin your morning? How do you open every new day?

When you wake up those things you do has a lot of influence over your life, those things you wake up to do have much control over your heart.

 It a pity today, what many wake up to meet is the social networks, including some Christians.

They retire for the night with there phones on there hands, and wake up with it early in the morning, why? because there heart is committed to it.

Many Christians will kick-start there day reading news, pages upon pages on secular blogs (unedifying blogs), and entertaining themselves on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, twitters etc.

whereas they find it very difficult and boring to read a chapter of the Bible just to start the day.

This is one of the devils hideout to cheat the children of God. 

The devil know that if you can start your day by seeking God, you have made him a failure in your life for the day, and you will receive all you need to have a fulfilled day.

• When you seek God early it shows that you love God.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Prov. 8:14.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matt.6:21

If truly you treasured the Lord Jesus, your heart will draw to Him when you open your eyes in the morning.

Early in the morning your song will raise to Him.

If He is important to you, you will love to start your day speaking with Him.

• When you seek God early you are starting your day with wisdom and counsel.

• For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Prov.2:6.

Wisdom from the Lord is all you need for a successful day.

Wisdom to know how to and what to do for the day, wisdom for good judgement.

A day started without His counsel will be filled with guessing that lead to confusion.

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Eph.5:15-17

The way you start will judge the activities of the day, and how it will end. 

Don’t open a new day anyhow…

Many Christian become victim of the evil of the day, why? Because they refuse to consult the wise counselor and guardian at the beginning of the day.

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Prov.13:20.

If you don’t want to miss the opportunities of the day, start your day by walking with the wise (the Lord).

•    When you seek God’s word early in the morning Prosperity will locate you

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. Prov.19:8.

An arrogant man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. Prov.28:25.

When you seek the Lord early in the morning, you are seeking the one who knows how you can prosper without sweat.

“If you want your net to harvest to the full measure, consult the greatest fisherman”

When you seek Him early he will give you understanding that will lead you to prosperity.

Make a decision from today that you will never start your day without communicating with the Lord, in prayer and reading the word.

And He will make your ways prosperous…

FOUR IMPORTANT GATE YOU WILL MEET BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PROMISE LAND.

Promise is a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen. 
If God promise to do a thing in your life, He is assuring you by signing an undertaking and giving you a guarantee that what He promised most surely come to pass.

God's word has been proved to be reliable from ages to ages, it does not fake or fail, it could be timely, but has never miss its target.


heaven and earth shall pass away but My word will never pass away. Matt.24:35.

The promise of God stand sure, but you need to hold on it, to see it fulfilled in your life.

There are four gate you must be ready to pass through successfully before you are qualified for your dream come through.
 I call them gates because you will surely meet them on your way, if you must get to your promise land.

 1. Gate of Patience.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 10:36.

The gate of patience is their to prove your character, it will test how long you can wait on your God.

This gate of patience will expose how far you can last in doing good without changing (most expectially when it's unprofitable)

Some will start well on the right track, but fail at this gate of patience.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.Gal.6:9.

Your reward will came if you can pass through this gate of patience and perseverance successfully. 

And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise Heb.6:15.

The promise is still going to be fulfilled wait in patience for God.

2. Gate of Faith 
At this gate, your faith will be tested. your weakness and your strength will be tried. 

God will allow you to face mountains, barriers and troubles. 

You can also be coming across some challenges like; financial lack, stagnancy, loses, barrenness etc.  

At this point you will be left only with the option to depend on the word of God.

God knows you can pass through if your faith is strained, 
don't forget "He will not give you more than you can handle"1cor.10:13.

The gate of faith will compelled you to put the word of God to work in your life.

He want to teach you on how to trust Him and depend on His word, so that your faith may grow.

The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. Ps.119:130

At the gate of faith you will be able to search for the right word for your life and if you get it, it will give you understand and also jack up your faith for the fulfillment of the promises.

If you must get to your promise land your faith in God's word will be tested.

At this level you will no more read the word as novel, but for an impartation and understanding that will strengthen your faith.

3. Gate of Diligence.
 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: Heb.6:11
verse 12a: said that ye be not slothful.

At this gate God want to see how faithful you are with the little in your hand presently.

in all labour there is profit Prov.14:23a

"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much" don't wait for a huge deal before you are hand working.

If you can't pass through the gate of diligence, you won't be qualify for the promise.

"Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal"
 Let you zeal speak for you. 

Don't wast Gods resource in laziness.  

In the parable of the talent, the one who was given one talent desided to hide his talent.

 why? because he saw it too small to be used.

Now when the owner of the talent came, he could not add any profit to it. 

The bible said, the single talent he despised, was taken away from him and given to another who was diligent with his. 

And he was left in suffering and shame. matt.25:14-30

Slothfulness will rob you of the little in your hand and denied you of the promise fulfillment.

The hand of the diligent will rule, But the slack hand will be put to forced labor. Prov.12:24

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.prov.13:4.

 Keep your diligence intact, even when the reward is not yet ripe keep doing it, do it with all of your zeal, it will surely yield for you.

4. Gate of hope.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb 6:17-18

This is another gate that will qualify you for the fulfillment of the promises. 

The one who promise you will determine how much hope you can put on the promise.

When men promise you, its under probability because of human factors.

When God promise you, its 100% guarantee, all you need to do is to wait for it, because His words are authentic.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22.

The gate of hope will teach you never to worry again, after receiving God's promise.

The gate of Hope will teach you to trust in God and relax after he has spoken.

this gate will open your inner eyes to see beyond any situation on your way, and hang onto the promise which are the reality.

The gate of hope will remove grumbling away from you life and learn to console yourself with what he has promised.

 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Heb.6:13-15.

God Promises carries His integrity, He said to Abraham i have sworn by my name "wow".

 He is not a man that He will lie. 

Depend on Him and trust Him today. your miracle, your joy, your promises are on the way. 

DON'T ALLOW YOUR WEEKNESS(SIN) TO DRAG YOU AWAY FROM GOD

As long as there is still life there is hope, no situation or position is irreversible with God.

Any voice that speak to your ears that you have climb a ladder in which you can never come down is a lie.

Any condemnation in your heart that sentence you to doom is not from God. 

So you can stand against it because as long as you are still breathing, your wrong steps can be corrected.

Some people has been brainwashed by the devil 😈, that they have gone too far with him and they can never return back.

Some says they have sold their souls to the devil. 
Hmmn lies, I repeat its a lie from the pit of hell, the devil owns no soul so he has no right over any.

But you can decide to give it to him or take it away from him.

Have you been falling into a particular sin, and you have tried your best to stay away from that weekness, but you always find yourself swimming in it. 
I have a goodness for you that you will not die in it.

Don't run away from God, just because you fall into a sin, rather seek him more that he might have mercy on you.

God is always talking about returning to him when you lose your path with Him

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored, 
Job 22:23a,23b.

Don't let your weekness take you from God's presence, stick to him till you are washed.

The blood of Jesus is available to wash your sins, His​ mercy are renewed every morning for you. 

So don't let the devil take you away by condemning you.

If the devil succeed in taking you away from God's presence then his planning a trap of death along the way. 
He want you to die in you sin.

He does not want you to see Jesus as a way out of his bondage of sin.

Are you a good Christian before, but now you are involved in fetish charms​, sorcery, witchcraft, etc. 

You can still return to Jesus and you will be saved from the coming destruction.

If only you are ready to confess and forsake your evil ways. Only Jesus can save you.

Don't wait until the devil have chance to kill you in your sin.

Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, o sons of isreal. Isa. 31:6

The prodigal son after he has spent every thing that is father gave him, he suffered himself in a far away land.
The devil tormented him and made him a slave and he was feeding on foods ment for the pigs.
 Luke 15:11-32.

Why? Just because he stayed away from his father who can be merciful unto him, who can give him another chance to freedom and peace.

The Bible recorded that he purposed in his heart to return to his father. And when he returned he obtain mercy and was renewed and refreshed.

Brothers and sisters don't let the devil hold you away from God's presence any longer, so that you can be renewed and receive mercy.

Run to God today, return to you fervent prayer life, take up the word of God again, your successful path is hidden in the word.

Have you stop going to church, because you think you are not worthy or because you are discouraged, retrace you steps back. 

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Heb.10:25

If you have not giving your life to Jesus or you want to rededicate your life to Him.
Declare this prayer:

Jesus I give my life you you today, forgive my of all my sins. 

Cleanse me with you blood, I confess you as my Lord and savior. 
Accept me into the kingdom of your dear Son.
Thank you father. Amen

Don't Weigh your achievement with Worldly Standard Part 2

If you are measuring your life with the standard of the world 5 things are happening​ to you:

1. You are rejecting God.

In 1sam. 8:7b God said for the people of isreal to require for a king by following the ways of the world, they have rejected him.

Friendship with the world is enemity with God.

2. You are becoming ungrateful to God.

Using the world standard for your life as a Christian means you don't appreciate how far God has led you. 

You saw a better leadership in the world.

It also mean you don't love God with all your heart.

 In 1 sam.8:8a, the people of isreal never appreciated the victories and successes that God led them through. 

3. You are into idolatry

Do not worship any other God beside me, this means do not value anything more than God.

Anything you choose as a best option against or below what God says, is competing with God in your life.

Measuring up to the standard of the world in any area of your life, is a trap of the devil to make you an idolater. 

4. You don't know who you are.

The isrealite were unique because God was there king.

He was ruling them and leading them, he did remarkable things that no human king could do to his people.

Even other nations feared and envy them, because they were special and second to non.

When they conform to the world they rejected their unque position. 

Worldly conformity shows you don't know your worth as a child of God.

5. You will be open to oppression and slavery.

The people of isreal rejected God as their king and embrassed human king like the people of the world.

Then they became subjected to their earthly king's, some became slaves to the kings, they were oppressed and there properties were forcefully shared or even taken from them. 

Because they rejected God and embrassed the world.

When you conform to the standard of the world, you can be open to attacks and oppressions because God will no more back you up.

Worldiness will make you to be against God and when you are against God, you are open to dangers.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty where with Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Gal.5:1

Worldly Standard is enemity with God, it's idolatry and could open you up to oppression. 

Are you already conforming with the world in any area of your life? Is it in your carrier, business, marriage, ministry, academics, pursuits​ in life etc.

Turn to God today, make His word the standard for your life and let the holy spirit be your guide and you will have joy, joy unspeakable.

Don't Weigh Your Achievement With Worldly Standard Part 1

Do not love the world nor the things in the world if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 john 2:15.

Jesus specifically warn the disciples about loving the world, the things and ways of the world.

The world have its own measure for achievement, there is what is called worldly standard. 

This is their pursuit for life, the criteria to determine their happiness and success.

It will never meet up with Godly standard.

This is one of the ways the devil is using to trap believers in this last days, by making them to use worldly scales to calculate there achevement, they use this to determine  their success in businesses, marriages, carriers etc.

The devil has succeeded by using the worldly pattern to determine what Christians now define as success.

 1 sam. 8:5, the people of God required for a king to rule over them, not because God told them to do so, but because they want to be in uniform with the other nations of the world.

God was ruling over them himself in his sovereignity and also reaching to the people through his servant. 

But they required for a human king to be equal to the pattern of other nations of the world.

Note this: Each time you want to measure up to the standard of the world. You measure down God's standard.

God was ruling them in his supremacy but they wanted to be ruled by the world standard.

I have met several believers who's conversation is all about money, all they pray about is money, all they think about is money.

Then I wonder what is the different between them and the people of the world because this are the things they leave for.

Some measure themselves with the achievement of their ungodly friends, financially, academically, maritally and other wise.

He that compare himself with another is a fool says the Bible.

Many married believers are using the world pattern in their marriages and neglecting the law of God for marriage. 

No wonder there are broken homes among the people of God, and faulty marriages.

Even some church of God are now conforming to the pattern of the world, by becoming as entertaining as possible to suit the world standard, by bending and feeding the sheep with unhealthy and unbalanced diet of the word, to be accepted by the world.

Love not the world neither the thing that are in the world(that is love not the way the world determine and achieve there things). 

Turn to God today, make His word the standard for your life and let the holy Spirit be your guide and you will have joy, joy unspeakable.

THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU

This one step can change your life. it can turn around your situation, your work, your family, your friends, this major decision can rebuild your business that is crumbling.

 It can restore all your losses, all the opportunities, and it can bring you back to perfect health.

When you make this decision all your battles and struggles will surely end.

The devil knows this and has kept many people away from making this decision. The devil knows that taking this decision can keep evil out of your life permanently.

There is only a step between failure and success, there is only a step between sickness and sound health, there there is a step between slavery and freedom, there is only a step between poverty and wealth, it takes only a step from your losses to restoration. and also a step between life and death.

This world is full of many problems and no one can protect or save himself from the troubles of this world.
The trouble you are passing through presently is part of the troubles of the world. In order to overcome them all, you need is to make this decision.

The devil is striving to blind and hide the way out from many individuals, he is liar, a deceiver, and a bully. But you can make this decision and you will be automatic out of his reach.

No religion can save you from the hand of the wicked devil, no "god" can deliver you from the hands of the evil oppressors afflicting your family, your work, your business and your health.

The rich are becoming poor, the healthy ones becoming sick, many good things are been taking away from people, because they have not taken this major step that could secure there lives and destiny.

What is this decision?
A decision to know Jesus. A decision to accept him into your life, a decision to make him your Lord and savior.

Maybe you have heard about Jesus before or let say you have not, i advise you  to choose Jesus today that you may life.

This is an opportunity to give your life to Him, He can repair and restore your life.
No matter the level of your oppression, no matter the losses you have suffered, there is hope for you.

With Jesus you can make it, with Him you can stand to your feet again, all you need to do is to give you life to Him,
He loves you and cares for you, and He is calling you today to come to Him.

He said come unto me all you who are heavy-laden and I will give you rest.
IF you need rest in your home, work, business, academic, health, finances, family, children.... make your decision now, tomorrow maybe too late! 

 Draw near to Him by saying this loudly after me:

Jesus I accept you into my life today,
I confess my sin to you today forgive me
wash me with you blood
cleanse me from my sin.
write my name in the book of life
thank you father for making me a child.
in Jesus name.Amen.

SELF-CONTROL

Self-control comes from two words; Self and control.

It is the ability to control oneself, in particular, one's emotions and desires or the expression of them in one's behavior, especially in difficult situations.

The ability to control the flesh, one's body, oneself.

Lack of self-control is the inability to control oneself, body, flesh, emotion, behavior.Without self-control it will be difficult for a man to do good.

Paul said, for I know that nothing good lives in me that is in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can not.Rom 7:18 nlt.

Without self-control the body can never do right, rather it will do evil.The absence of self-control makes you a slave to lust.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes... 1 John 2:16

A life without self-control is ruled by the lust and the devil sees it as one of his instruments.

Your body(your flesh) should not be left to control you.
Most times what our body requires are not the best for us, that is why we need to discipline our body and put it under control (subjection).

Until you are able to deny you flesh, you will be subjected to its control.

For instance, sometimes there could be reasons to be angry and our system which is the body will expect a physical reaction to defend the flesh(oneself) andsatisfy the emotion.

In a time like this without self-control, it will be impossible to be angry without sinning. To be angry is not a sin but without self-control, it will leadto sin.You need self-control to be patient, you need self-control for you not to join the mockers, and the backbiter, you need self-control to control your tongue.

Self-control will help you to guard your mouth and your tongue. Prov.21:23.

Self-control will help your humility, with self-control, you can overcome sexual immorality.Self-control will help you to choose good over evil, it will bring you close to God.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath clean hands, a pure heart; who hath not lifted up His soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Ps.24:3-4.

Self-control help you to choose what to see, what to hear, what to smell, what to touch, and what to eat and drink.

Self-control will help to stay away from seeing, hearing, touching ungodly materials(unclean things), it will help you to control and guard your thought topurchase a pure heart, and it will give you contentment and satisfaction.

It will protect you from worldliness.

With self-control, you can be qualified to ascend His holy hill, you will have a constant prayer life and love God's word.

Self-control is a fruit of the spirit, meaning it can only be seen in a child of the kingdom.If you are born again you can choose to subject your flesh by putting it under godly discipline, decide never to satisfy your flesh anymore, rather determineto be ruled by God through his word.

Maintain a good communication with him in prayer and fasting.Let the holy spirit begin to lead you and guide you.

Submitting yourself to God and He will help you to overcome every flesh dominating you today in Jesus name. Amen.
