Celebrating Pastor Evelyn Joshua: Continuing the Legacy of TB Joshua | SCOAN

General Overseer, Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Founder of Emmanuel TV Team, Prophet TB Joshua and wife, Evelyn Joshua

Pastor Evelyn Joshua, the esteemed leader of the Synagogue, Church of all Nations (SCOAN), has been an epitome of strength, grace, and dedication since assuming her role. As the wife of Prophet TB Joshua, the founder and General Overseer of SCOAN, Mummy Evelyn Joshua has not only admirably carried forward her husband’s vision but has also made significant strides in her own right. Recently, she returned from a momentous crusade in Spain, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to spreading the message of faith and hope. Her continuous dedication and determination is a testament to her steadfastness in carrying forward the legacy of her husband, Prophet TB Joshua.

Emmanuel!! God is With Us!!!

DO NOT IGNORE THE PROCESS

Hebrews 12:5 – 8 says, “… My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the LORD loves He chastens…”

God Almighty disciplines us as a process to strengthen our desire and determination for Him, to reform us and keep us for a new level in life. Today, everyone wants to be great but not everyone wants to go through the right process. If you are in a haste to achieve something, you are likely to make costly mistakes that will pull you back, if not down.

If you ignore the process and focus only on the result, you may likely not have the patience to differentiate between God’s supply and satan’s bait. If it is God’s processing, the result will stand the test of time. Do not ignore the process; God is treating you as His own. God Almighty sometimes allows us to go through some dark moments as a process so that when the light finally comes, we will be matured enough to maintain it. God is trying to build character now so that when you get to the place of destiny, you won’t crack and explode and lose it all.

God wants us to prosper in all areas of our lives. He does not want us to succeed financially by losing ourselves to conditions. He does not want you to lose your peace or your sleep. So, if you follow the right process and don’t get result, don’t worry. You are about to get the mother of results. Don’t get disappointed, God is preparing you for something greater than what you are seeing. All you need to do is to remain patient and allow Him to make things happen in His time.

Prayer: Oh Holy Spirit, help me to trust You, even when every sense contradicts You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔!

Rejection is a word that even upon hearing it can cause fear and discomfort to many. Many times, it can be bitter and difficult to handle for someone trying to find direction from the people around them. One thing is for sure: no one can be liked by everyone or receive love and acceptance from everyone. One may experience an intense rejection from an employer, a partner or even from their own family and start to think that they are not worthy of being loved and feeling insecure, constantly carrying negative thoughts. Many people carry these unpleasant feelings from childhood, while others, at some point in their lives, have felt lonely and desperate because of the rejection they received from the people around them.

The best example of how to deal with rejection is given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He received rejection and contempt from people, especially from the people that were from the same place with him and from His brothers and sisters. Yet, whether they accepted Him or rejected Him, Jesus remained steadfast in God’s purpose for His life; He knew that the Father would never reject Him!

Your co-workers, your friends, your own relatives may have closed the door on you, but Jesus Christ will always have His arms open for you! 𝐏𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝟐𝟕:𝟏𝟎: “𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞”. Your privilege as a child of the Heavenly Father is that nothing can separate you from His love! Because when God sees you, He sees something else that everyone ignores!

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: “Lord Jesus Christ, give me the strength to forgive anyone that rejected me and keep any form of bitterness out of my heart. Help me to move forward with Your love as the foundation and to base my hope on Your acceptance, in Your almighty name I pray, amen.”

#Rejection #GodLovesYou

WHAT IS YOUR STRENGTH?

Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

The Bible explains that everyone God created has their own measure of strength. We may not be equally gifted, but one thing is clear; God designed it in such a way that everyone has some strength to contribute. What is your strength? Your strength could be money, talent, love. Whatever area you are strong in, that is what the Lord will use to bless others through you.

We are one another’s strength. No one can succeed alone, we need good people, informed and inspired people to make it in our respective callings. How do you use your strength to improve the lives of those around you? Many of us today come around people for selfish, classic and material reasons. We keep company with some people only because of what we can get from them and not what we can contribute. Don’t come around people because of what you can get alone but also because of what you can give.

How can you know your strength? Whatever you consistently do that uplifts you and others around you is your strength. You just need self-examination to discover this strength and build it, so as to contribute positively to the lives of others and the society of which you are a part. God Almighty cherishes our little efforts towards contributing positively to the lives of others, if it comes from the heart. So, wherever your strength lies, use it genuinely to contribute positively to the lives of those around you, your society and the world at large.

Prayer: Oh Holy Spirit, give me the strength needed for the tasks you want done, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

BREAK THE CHAINS OF YOUR PRISON!

Many times difficulties and poverty make us feel like we are living inside a prison. Nevertheless, this prison could be created by our very own selves. Prisons can be created by the feeling of inferiority, isolation, guilt or by completely giving up on life. Apostle Paul was also trying to be free from the prison created by our human body, as he said, “𝐎 𝐰𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐚𝐦! 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡?”, in 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟕:𝟐𝟒.

Our freedom starts within our hearts, as the first place to be victorious is in our spiritual life and in our mind because victory does not start around us, it begins within us! Thus, take heart, for your freedom is not far! Start investing in your spirit by filling your heart with the Word of God that will equip you with the spirit of freedom and victory, which will break the bars of your prison today! Are you ready to be set free? If yes, pray with the following words:

🙏 “Lord Jesus Christ, even though I’ve been in prison up till now, I believe that Your power can set me free! Come with Your power and shake the foundations of my prison – in Your holy name I pray, amen!”

#Besetfree #Freedom

GOD HAS ORDERED ALL

Colossians 1:16 says, “For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

‘God has ordered all’ means everything we have is actually only being borrowed from God. Everything comes from God and everything you will receive in the future will come from Him. It appears that all is of grace because all our spiritual advantages are from Him. What do have you? What item or material do you own? It all came from Him. This means that our faith, our conversion, our eternal salvation are not mere products of any natural ability or power; no man should boast. They are not brought to pass by anything done by us; therefore, all boasting is excluded. He who glories must not glory in himself but in the Lord.

Whoever is great among men, it is God’s hand that made them so and whatever strength we have, it is God that gave it to us. We ought to acknowledge God in all spiritual things. Every good thought, every good purpose and every good work – to His grace from whom we received it. When you are placed on top of a horse, remember those who cannot ride on donkeys. The privileged should remember the less-privileged.

God has ordered all so that the whole shall appear to be of grace. When you approach God in prayer, picture yourself as the created. Don’t dictate to God – heal me, bless me, deliver me. You should not allow your situation to dictate your prayer. He knows you more than yourself. Remember that Jesus lives; He never said, “Goodbye”.

PRAYER: “Oh Holy Spirit, grant me the grace to pray according to the will of the Father!”

GOD IS ABLE

Ephesians 3:20-21 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

We live in a wicked world and there are enough reasons to be troubled. I am here to tell you that there is a greater reason not to be because our God is able. God is behind us and backing us up, so that in everything, we can overcome through His divine power. God is who He says He is, nothing can stop Him from being God; nothing can overthrow Him from His throne. God and His Throne are backing up every word of a true believer. This assurance gives us a quiet and restful confidence.

Distance is not a barrier for God because His Word searches and finds us every time. God does not need our words to move Him into action. He has His own way of implementing His will in the universe. The power of God works not according to our own will but according to His Will. Remember that the power of God is made manifest when His Word comes into our heart and the Spirit acts on it. Therefore, take your position in the believer’s authority and watch God take control of your situation; He is ABLE!!!

Prayer: Oh Lord, give me the grace to continue to trust in your ability to save, deliver and bless me, in Jesus’ name! Amen!!

BLESSING WITHOUT HEALTH IS CRISIS

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, is a parable we use to emphasise the importance of maintaining healthy eating habits. A healthy diet is a leading factor for our body to fight off every sickness and disease. Yet, what happens when instead of nurturing our bodies in a right and healthy way, we damage it with smoking, alcohol, or with other unhealthy habits?

The answer always comes from the Word of God in 𝟏 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟔:𝟏𝟗-𝟐𝟎: “𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐨𝐝? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧; 𝟐𝟎𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬.”

As humans, we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body! Ever since the beginning of creation, God gave us everything we need in order to live a good life; a life of good health and prosperity. However, we are so focused on receiving God’s blessings and we barely take care of our health. What we forget, though, is that blessing without good health is crisis because you cannot enjoy it! Our body belongs to God and thus, we need to take good care of it! Starting today, take care of your health on a daily basis and you will see that you will live a joyful and content life in Christ Jesus!

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: “Lord, from today, I will start taking care of my health, my body and my spirit. Give me the joy to enjoy Your heavenly blessings in a life of good health and prosperity – in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!”

THE PLAN OF SUCCESS

God wants us to pray, walk, run and do things not like the people of this world. This is so because we are in this world, but we are not part of it. Heaven is the final destination of every child of God. The plan of success God almighty wants us to follow is summarized in the Book of Joshua 1:8.

As Christians, we know that satan can also give what God gives but they are counterfeits. When God gives you money and good health, it comes with peace of heart but when satan gives you what seems to give you apparent peace, he takes with his left hand what your life depends on. Prophet TB Joshua gave us three steps to having good success:

1) Keep the Word in your mouth. If the Word dominates your heart, it will dominate your mouth and when it dominates your mouth, it will influence your conduct and character and whatever you do will be permanent and have good success.

2) Meditate on God’s Word day and night. Meditation in God’s Word is a visit with God. Meditation is the process of thinking deep on what you have heard and read in the Bible. Without meditation, God’s Word cannot become part of you. Meditation brings revelation. Once your hands and mouth are in one accord, then you begin to tap into God’s blessings.

3) Doing what the Word says. Remember that our obedience to God’s Word is the only proof of our faith in him. Don’t forget that our faith in God’s Word must be tested against facts and experiences, before it can be said to be genuine.

BIBLE VS SCOIAL MEDIA

Today, social media are a dominant part of the life of people in modern society. Through them, we can communicate, interact and receive information from numerous online platforms. To what extent is their use, however, beneficial to a child of God?

The information we receive daily from social media platforms is a lot. Advertisements, photographs, and also role models of a life far from God, can be the cause for a Christian to lose his focus on God and fill his heart with the cares of this world. The Word of God is a source of wisdom and knowledge and in 𝐏𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝟏𝟏𝟗:𝟏𝟎𝟓 it states: “𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭, 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡”. In other words, God Himself reminds us that His Word alone should be the guide of our lives… In Him lies our hope, the light in a world dominated by darkness.

Unfortunately, however, wasting precious time in the chaotic world of social media, our will to devote time to the Word of God is becoming less and less, whereas our spirit is in need of receiving an instruction, a direction from the Creator! If we haven’t been able to succeed in our lives so far, it’s because we’re spending our time on the wrong ground. The Bible, however, teaches us that when we plant wrong seeds a wrong harvest will come… It is not too late to put your life in order and above all in balance! Start giving God the attention He deserves and see if your life will stay the same!

🙏🏻𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: “Lord Jesus Christ, help me from now on to devote more time to Your Word. Heavenly Father, give me the grace to plant good seeds in my life so that I may reap Your blessings in the future, in Your Almighty name I pray, amen!”

MOVE GOD

Faith relates solely and exclusively to two realities: God and His Word. When you are talking about the Word, you are talking about the foundation of the throne of God. The Word “believe” is made simple when we know that it is acting upon the spoken Word of God. This means that faith is not abstract; faith relates to a heart that believes God through ordinary circumstances. Therefore, faith should be demonstrated or practised in difficult and perilous circumstances.

The first step of our work of faith is to stop our own work and rest in God’s love, wisdom and power. Once you believe and pray in His name, Jesus takes over! As we begin to do the Word, He begins to do in us and through us. By looking into the Word and acting on it, we bring Jesus on the scene. Acting on the Word then makes Jesus Christ real to the believer. Ask the Seven sons of Sceva and they will tell you that ordinary words cannot move God, cannot bring Jesus on the scene. God does not need our words to move Him into action; He has His own way of implementing His will in the universe. The power of God is to be exercised not according to our own will but according to God’s will.

Therefore, learn to take God’s Word to heart and truly make it part of you. That way, it will by its very nature, change you. And when the Word changes you, you will find yourself moved by the very life of God and the life of God will make things happen.

Say this prayer: “Oh Holy Spirit, take more of me and give me more of You – more of Your love, strength, peace, faithfulness and righteousness! Give me the grace to act and dwell in Your Word and truly make it a part of me!” Amen!

DO YOU HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA?

Hidden agendas go back to the first days of man with satan’s deception in the Garden of Eden. Satan’s motive was NOT to make mankind wise, but instead, have mankind reject the instructions of God! The Bible has a lot to say about our motives. A motive is an underlying reason for any action. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝟏𝟔:𝟐 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬, “𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃.” Because the human heart is very deceitful (𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝟏𝟕:𝟗), we can easily fool even our very own selves when it comes to our motives. We can pretend that we are doing some certain things for God or the benefit of others, when in reality, we have selfish reasons or an ulterior motive. Regardless of what people look like, do or say, one thing is sure: “[…] 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝. 𝐀 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬. 𝟖 𝐖𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧; 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞”. (𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟔:𝟕-𝟖)

A man can be a Christian in profession, but yet not such in heart… But God is interested in our motives even more than our actions. We can keep our motives pure by continually surrendering every part of our hearts to the control of the Holy Spirit. When we allow Him to control every part of us, then our desire is to please Him and not ourselves. Our flesh constantly clamours to exalt itself, and only when we walk in the Spirit we will be able to resist those fleshly desires!

🙏𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: Father, make me a channel of shining light where there is darkness. Expose any evil and replace it with Your Spirit and Truth. Let every contrary motive be cast out, in the name of Jesus! Fix my heart and reshape it for Your Glory! Let my heart, my body and soul surrender to Your will and may my life become an instrument of the Holy Spirit – in Jesus´ name, amen!

REJOICE! CHRIST IS RISEN!

Christ is risen! Happy Easter! Friends of Jesus Christ, rejoice! Jesus Christ is risen and He defeated death!

“[..] 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝? 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞; 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐧!” 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝟐𝟒:𝟓-𝟔.

Our King, Jesus Christ, paid the ultimate price for humanity’s redemption in order to deliver us from sin and its consequences. His death, however, was not the end, but the beginning! Jesus Christ was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness – by His resurrection from the dead!

Through His resurrection, there is fullness of grace and certainty of safety for all believers here on earth even beyond the grave!

As we celebrate the resurrection of our King, may His resurrecting power flow in your life and may it revive every dead area of your life – in the name of Jesus Christ!

#Easter #DeathIsDefeated

Jesus Christ: The Sinners’ Only Saviour

John 14:6 says, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’. No one comes to the Father except through Me’. Jesus Christ is the sinner’s only Saviour, not only because He came and died for our sins but also because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As the Way, He is the reality; there is no reality outside Him. As the Truth, He is the source of our strength and the reason for our being. As the Life, He is the end of it and that life is eternal life that is the nature of God.

Romans 3:23 reminds us that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Jesus came to re-establish that glory. He came to restore the relationship and fellowship between God and man. Because He is our Advocate, there is no reason any longer for us to feel guilty. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. When you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you will change and become a man or a woman who is directed by the Holy Spirit, not by the idea or influence of others. You will be connected in a unique way.

The design of the Gospel is to break the yoke of sin and satan, thus removing the burden of guilt and corruption. God so loved us that He planted His best seed in the earth so that peace might abide with men forever. Jesus Christ came down from Heaven and laid down His life for our redemption. Is there anyone wallowing in the valley of sin, unfaithfulness, pain, sickness, hardship, sorrow or confusion? Please look onto the Cross, believe and call on the name Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, and position me for your glory and attention! Amen!

EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF RESURRECTION IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.

EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF RESURRECTION IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.

Matthew 28: 5-6
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the significance of resurrection, the true essence and focal point of our worship. He was flogged, crashed and humiliated for our sake but He responded with forgiveness. As children of God, we should come to Him with a free spirit, a spirit that does not hold offence, burden, envy and resentment against others. Let our hearts rise to the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, reigning in power, now and forevermore!

“Jesus Christ lives. He never said goodbye” – Prophet T.B. Joshua

Happy Easter from the Emmanuel TV Family!

STOP SLEEPING

People of God, don’t be bemused or puzzled by the title of this message. Actually, when we mention sleep, we are not talking about the natural state of rest whereby the eyes are closed and consciousness is lost. No! When we ask you to stop sleeping, we simply mean that you should be spiritually awake and alert! It is pathetic seeing children of God sleeping while the devil is busy working, causing conflict, war, confusion and chaos everywhere, while those called to be watchmen are busy sleeping.

As a Christian, if you are not praying, you are sleeping spiritually! Prophet T.B. Joshua said, “I may sleep but not spiritually.” Life is spiritual! Life is not fun and games, not a bonding meeting, a playground or an encounter group but a battlefield where only the serious-minded emerge victorious! The serious-minded know the great importance of prayer! If you are not praying, you are not serious-minded! Colossians 4:2 encourages us to continue in prayer. Don’t stop praying! The moment you stop praying, you stop living! Prayer is to the spiritual man what breathing is to the natural man.

Disappointment in the success of prayer should be an excitement in the duty of prayer! The duty of prayer is based on the sufficiency of God. As children of God, our enemy must not catch us sleeping. A Christian should pray every day and be in an attitude of prayer at all times. Let us be serious-minded! Let us stop sleeping! Let us learn to pray!
Prayer: O Holy Spirit, help me to pray without ceasing, in Jesus’ name! Amen!

THE PIE OF LIFE

There comes a time in life when people begin to understand that they have not experienced true and lasting joy. They realise that life seems to be passing them by and they are just watching it do so. They see that many of their goals have not been achieved and their days are really unhappy. But why is that? If we could compare life to something, we could compare it to a pie consisting of the following slices:
1. Career
2. Finances
3. Natural Environment
4. Entertainment
5. Family/Friends
6. Health
7. Love
8. Spiritual progress

However, the true joy we seek cannot come unless there is balance in all areas of our lives. Thus, if an area is at a very low level, at some point we will feel great and inexplicable despair and sadness. Our life will not change because we simply hope, but it will change when we are willing to pay any necessary price in order to succeed! The Word of God in 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝟔:𝟕 mentions an inviolable rule: “[…] 𝐀 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬. 𝐖𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧; 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.”. This clarifies that God is not unjust and it is the doer of the Word that receives things from God.

Too often we tend to complain and demand that God make things happen, while we haven’t sown at all in some areas, in some of the “slices” of our lives. Are you in need of love? You need to sow love! Do you want good health? You need to sow good nutrition… Do you want success? Then, you need to sow your time and daily activities. Start to sow where you want to reap today and you will see that God always stays true to His Word!

🙏𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: “Lord Jesus Christ, give me Your grace to put Your Word. Make me a doer of the Word and not a listener who quickly forgets, so that real and lasting joy may come into my life – in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!”

#Pieoflife #GoodLIfe

HAPPY PALM SUNDAY!

No one would have thought that Palm Sunday, a day of joy and celebration, would become a symbol of the beginning of the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ! No one could have ever imagined that the people cheering and applauding the Saviour’s arrival in Jerusalem would be the same people who sought His death and crucifixion a few days later!

In 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰 𝟐𝟏:𝟗-𝟏𝟏, the Word of God vividly describes the King’s entry in Jerusalem, just a little while before His passion for the eradication of our unrighteousness began: “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝, ‘𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝!’ ‘𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝!’ ‘𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧!’ 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝, ‘𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬?’ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝, ‘𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐞.’”

If realise that Jesus Christ was the reason that we are now enjoying the joy of Salvation, we will soon understand that there was a divine master plan! A plan that was meant to redeem humanity from its sin! Hence, let today be the day that the race of your personal Salvation starts because Jesus declared the beginning of that race 2,023 years ago!

DO YOU HAVE REAL FRIENDS?

All of us have people around us that we might consider as our friends, but are they really the ones that the Lord wants us to spend time with? If you look around and examine your life, you will see that most likely your “friends” have the same weaknesses as you. That is because we are likely to search for people that agree with our thoughts, tastes, character and actions! Our weaknesses are like magnets and they attract the exact same weaknesses… We like to hear what we want to hear, we do not want to be corrected and most importantly, we are not ready for the truth…

But, a real man of faith will never surround himself with such friends, because he knows that serving God is to do what the best do! A real man of faith, one that is not influenced by others but by the Heavenly Father, will search for people who will help them in their spiritual walk with the Lord and also help them build a godly character. Such friends will boldly confront your weaknesses and report them to you, so that genuine change will come into your life. In 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝟐𝟕:𝟓-𝟔 the Bible says, “𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬”. This clearly means that a godly friend speaks truth into your life, even when it is difficult for you to hear it. A true friend loves you and genuinely wants the best for you. They tell you both the good and the bad aspects of your character and help you unfold God’s purpose in your life!

We need good, inspired and well-informed people in order to make it in our respective callings! If the company you keep only flatters and compliments you, then you need to look for some real friends. If not, it is very easy to think that we are perfect. We need people that will help us become better parents, better Christians, better wives, better husbands, better friends, because “𝐀𝐬 𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫!” (Proverbs 27:17).

🙏𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: Father, send me friends that will help me build my character, that will lead me to salvation. Help me endure the truth and change according to it. Lord, help me be a true friend to others too. Give me the courage to speak the truth and stand for righteousness – in Jesus´ name, amen!
