I learnt that no seed can germinate and bring forth fruit if you don't sow it first.

Secondly, don't compare your output with another because the grace given to us differs.  

He knows us and has given us according to our strength n capabilities.

Lastly, we should bear fruits in all season, no excuse.

God help us all.

I learnt that Christians have been redeemed to operate in the supernatural. To do that we must key into obedience to God's word, studying the word, praying and building up our faith in Him. Personal kingdom advancement should also be part of our lives.

As we seek Him, then can we be given the grace to operate in the supernatural naturally...from glory to glory.

I learnt that GOD does not look at one's race to use them for HIS glory.

Caleb was a Kenizzite by blood ties, even though he had lived in Judah for long enough to be considered as of the tribe of Judah. When it became time for GOD to move the Israelites to the Promised Land, God was pleased with Joshua and Caleb (notwithstanding Caleb's nationality, but only considering his heart, his 100% belief in HIM) because of the ten spies sent, only they were the only 2 who were confident in GOD's ability to give them the land.

Miracles stem from faith in GOD, and faith gives us the rest that CHRIST promised in Matt 11:28.

Testimony Time - Testimony of Childbirth

A sister shares her testimony:

This is my testimony! I was diagnosed of fibriod in 2011 and had irregular flow for years and never knew what ovulation was. My period came twice a month,14days for each with a two day interval. I got married in 2015 and I was scared that i might never get pregnant because after my marriage, my period never stopped,everyday for 3months with thick clothings of blood. It poured like water and i got stained at random. I used two pack of pads backed with tissue everyday,went to different hospitals and tradomedical homes yet no solution.Even the heavens seem closed to my prayers and i almost gave up on God but suddenly when my might has failed me,God showed up. I was directed to a gynaecologist who told me i didnt have fibriod. He said I had a growth that my womb was trying to push out and I went in for surgery. Finance came miraculously(cause we didnt have a dime) and it was successful. The bleeding stopped. Isaw my period for 4days(miracle 1), ovulated for the first time(miracle 2) and missed my period the next month(miracle 3).Today, I am a mother through God's mercy. I am thankful, grateful, joyful and at peace. Please help me thank God for this testimony. He is indeed faithful. Editor's Note: We thank God for this testimony. May the child and others to come fulfil their God-ordained purpose. Joy and gladness will not cease in your home, sister, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

THERE'S MORE

ADELOLA EDEMA

I don’t have many Bible names that I like, but one stands out among them; Abram. That was Abraham’s name before God changed it in Genesis 17.

I used to have a Bible that had Bible names at the back, with their meanings. I saw the meaning of Abram there then, father of honour, and I fell in love with the name since then. But as beautiful as that name is, God chose to change Abram’s name to Abraham, which means father of many nations (Genesis 17:5). God moved Abram from honour/success to impact; God enlarged his territory, starting with his name.

I believe that it’s the same way in our lives where everything seems good, and God says that there’s more. They say that opposite of best is not worst, but rather good, as having the good can limit us from reaching for the best.

Brethren, don’t let what you have now limit you from getting something greater; don’t let the beautiful environment you are now limit you from getting to somewhere better that God wants to take you to. Honour is not all that God wants for you, He wants impact. He wants you to be a blessing.

GO AND POSSESS THE LAND

There are no giants anywhere. 

It is only a mirage that gives way as you move forward. 

Please dear sisters, march forward for God has given us the land and the hearts of our enemies have melted. 

Numbers14

The land is good for us to posses. 

Some saw obstacles, only two saw the promise and held on to it despite the seeming obstacle. 

Believe me what you see is what you get. 

See God's promise and go for it, because it is rea

GOD PAYS

Adetokunbo Ajanaku
(From our Sunday Service Post)

God is not looking for who to use but who to furnish; who to bless.
He is not looking for who to punish but who to furnish.
When He employs you you will get an earthly job and the main job He needs employees for is SOUL WINNING.
Don't be ashamed to share tracts, give time to pray for a family friend to be saved, use your rickety car to transport a family to church and see how He will supernaturally give you a new one.
But all these must be done sincerely with your heart - in your room,  on your knees - you can win souls by praying for new converts or a particular person or family.

The Right Knowledge May Be All You Need

ADELOLA EDEMA

On my way to work this morning, I saw someone with a black mark on her head. I was initially scared, but then it occurred to me that today is ash Wednesday. I was then reminded of my first ash Wednesday in Ife. 

I remember being in BOOC for an early morning Botany class. I saw the first person with the black mark on the forehead, I thought it was an Ayamatanga something. As strange as it was, I was not scared until many people came into the class with the mark. What was more scary was that nobody else seemed disturbed with the ayamatanga people. Was I the only one that could see the mark? When I couldn't concentrate on the lecture, I asked the person beside me if he could see the people with the mark. What a relief it was to know that I was not the only person seeing the mark, they were not evil people, and it was a christian tradition 
How come I never saw such in Feggicola? 

Ignorance does bring fear; when you don't understand something it can also cause fear. But asking questions (from the right people sha o) can make a lot of difference.

A mother of a girl on the autism spectrum asked me once if there were people with autism who were doing well. I told her to read about Temple Grandin. 
She came back with so much hope for her daughter, and the initial fear she had was gone. 
To deal with the fear in your heart, the right knowledge may be all you need.
