O MAGNIFY THE LORD

"O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together." - Psalm 34:1 In simple terms, to magnify means to make (something) greater. With this definition, this charge becomes difficult. How do you make God bigger? We know God cannot be made larger neither can He reduce in size. Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever. In Malachi 3:6, He testified of Himself saying "I am the LORD, I change not..." A better definition of the word that fits this context will then be "to cause to be held in greater esteem or respect." The Almighty God deserves our respect, we must not be carried away with the spurious (false) love expressed to God by this generation, He is not fooled by it!. God is to be revered, the Bible says we are to FEAR God and keep His commandments. The availability of grace is not an excuse for dishonour to God. The call to magnify is a call to seriousness with God. We can magnify the LORD in our spirit, soul and body. Someo

Virginity is a Must!

"Now the birth of Jesus was on this wise: when his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." - Matthew 1:18 This man and lady were already booked to be married, everyone knew they would but they kept themselves waiting for the acceptable night as it should. Friends let us not be carried away by the signs of this generation, the principles of God still remain the same. These days young girls and boys confidently tell their parents they have boy friends and girl friends, and all the parent says is "be careful o" without pressing further to secure them. Parents let's wake up, the fact that you made a mistake doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to guide your children aright. If anything your children shouldn't make the same mistakes you made. I have heard people say parents shouldn't be over protective, PLEASE BE OVERPROTECTIVE! I don't blame young people for hanging aro

The Power of Deadlines

It will not be incorrect if we said "life is about accomplishment". When God created all, He looked at it and said it was very good. We as the creature are also expected to take delight in our outcomes. But if we are to get things done at the appreciable time we must harness the tool of deadlines. A deadline is the latest time by which a thing must be done or accomplished. A deadline motivates. When you look at the target date approaching a kind of inner strength comes that propels you to speed up  the progress of your work. If for no other reason you pursue your target in other not to let yourself down. Set a deadline today?

Thriving by Association

"So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran." - Genesis 12:4 One of the cheapest ways to becoming great is by association. It has been said that one can see farther by sitting on the shoulders of great men. That was exactly the case with Lot. The story of Lot began to look promising the moment Terah his grandfather took him, Abraham (his uncle) and Sarah (Abraham's wife) out of Ur to Haran. Terah died in Haran. God spoke to Abraham and he was on the move to a land of promise. The defining moment of Lot's life finally came, he saw Abraham packing up to go to an unknown destination led only by the conviction that God had spoken to him and Lot decided to follow him. That was it, Lot became a generational footprint. Lot followed Abraham and he became great. Sometimes the missing ingredient in man's hunt for greatness is correct association as seen here i

Grace to Grace

Grace is the touch of God upon a man’s life that turns his ordinary results into supernatural results. Grace saves from disgrace and elevates from the dunghill of life to palace of life. Grace yields more results than hard work can produce. Grace cannot be bought in silver nor gold, neither does it come has a family inheritance. Good works does not qualify you for grace. Grace is an offshoot of God’s divine love. God’s Grace is in Christ alone. Want to know the secret of men of exploits? Find Grace. May the Lord give you more grace this May in Jesus name. Amen.
