Let God Remember You And You'll Smile



How will you feel if God remembers you today? Your story will become a testimony and your future brighter and glorious. In this world full of challenges, everyone needs God to remember him or her at one point or another.  This post aims at provoking you to seek God to remember you. 

And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.” – 1 Samuel 1:19-20 (NKJV, emphasis mine)

The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron – Psalm 115:12 (ESV)

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt  – Genesis 19:29 (NKJV)

Are you up to your neck with a challenge? What you need is for God to remember you and stretch His hand towards you to deliver you. When God shines His face upon you and releases His favour towards you no enemy of yours can hold you anymore.  When God remembers you, something definite must surely happen.
For instance, When Noah was locked up in the ark with his family and some animals, there was heavy down pour of rain for months. But when God remembered him, He made a wind to pass over the earth and the rain ceased – Genesis 8:1-2

Also, when God was destroying the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham and delivered Lot his nephew from the destruction – Genesis 19:29. And when The Israelites cried out under the Egyptian bondage, God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and delivered them from the hands of their enemies – Exodus 2:24.

The Perfect Bond For Everything

I know you desire to be perfect before God, but how possible is it? You have done so many things in your quest to obey God and it's like something is still missing. What do you do? This post gives you the perfect bond that binds everything together completely.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 KJV)

And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony]. (Colossians 3:14 AMP)

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. (1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV)

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13:8, 13 NKJV)

Truly, you have been trying to please God and to live right, but things seem not to be going the way you expected; you are not enjoying the blessings of God which are your portion for obeying God. And you have wondered what else haven't you done?

The challenge may lie on the strength of your bond of perfection which is LOVE. Love is the connection that fastens things together. No matter what you do, if there is no love, it will yield little or no result. You can't be perfect without love. God is love (1 John 4:8) and if you are to be like Him, then you need to love as He does.

Everything answers to love. It is the fulfillment of the law - Romans 13:8. Your quest for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the manifestations of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the blessings of God in your life are subject to the love of God in your life - 1 Corinthians 12:31 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

All your efforts, services, seeds and sacrifices are futile without the perfect bond of love. Love binds them all together to give an ideal harmony (Colossians 3:14), a sweet smell of savour acceptable unto God. It is what gives taste to your life. Like in soup, love is the salt that brings out the taste of other ingredients. Read more...

The Mystic Secret Of God



Does God have secrets? Yes, He does, but the good news is that they are now revealed to His children by His Holy Spirit. And possession of the secrets of God is possession of absolute victory in life. This post reveals one major God's secret that is also a mystery.

"...and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One)."(Colossians 2:2 AMP)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (I Corinthians 2:7, 8 NKJV)

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel. [Gal. 4:4.] (Genesis 3:15 AMP)

Praise God, the mystic secret of God has been revealed! This mystery was brought into existence at the fall of man. When the enemy did his worst, God created this mystery to later over throw the enemy and recover all for Himself and for man. He spoke it out but the enemy understood it not, because if he had he would not have crucified the Lord of Glory - 1 Corinthians 2:8

God said that He would put enmity between the devil and the woman, and between his offspring and her Offspring, and that he would bruise and tread the devil's head underfoot, and the devil will lie in wait and bruise His heel - Genesis 3:15.

So, when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, to purchase the freedom of man, who was subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us - Galatians 4:4, 5

Now, what exactly is this mystic secret of God? It is Christ, the anointed one - Colossians 2:2. Some of the  children of God in the Old Testament like Moses, David and Isaiah (Deut 18:15, Acts 2:23-36, Isaiah 9:6-7) had an idea of this mystery of God but the full picture was not revealed until Christ was born, crucified,  resurrected and seated at the right hand of God. Victory at last! Read more...

The Surest Way To Abundance



Do you desire increase in life? Have you done all you could to live in abundance and yet to no avail? Health, riches and long life are not exclusive to a few set of people, they are available for all to enjoy. The question is how do you access them to enjoy their benefits? This post exposes the surest way to access increase and abundance.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. (Psalms 67:5-7 KJV)

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. (Psalms 22:3 KJV)

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (1Corinthians 3:6 KJV)

You may have done so many things to enjoy abundance and increase on every side: hard work, confessions and declarations, fasting and praying and yet you have no testimony to show for it. I have good news for you, there is a sure way to enjoy abundance.

Praise unto God is the surest way to a life of good health, riches and long life. It is the key to an overflowing prosperity. God is the source of ever increasing abundance and praise is the key to His presence, Psalm 100:1-4. God always dwells in your praise unto Him, Psalm 22:3.

The scriptures in Psalm 67:5-7 make us to understand that the earth will not yield her increase until praises go up to God. Also, God's blessings will not follow you until you praise God.

Praise is like you watering your seeds sown to have a harvest: your seeds of hard work, faithfulness, prayers, tithes and offerings, and sacrifices. Until your plants receive adequate supply of water, your desire of abundant harvest is merely a dream. So also until you give God quality praise, acceptable unto Him, your desire for abundance is just a mere dream. This is because God only gives the increase, 1 Corinthians 3:6.

The 3 Success Assets You Must Have This Year

What assets must you acquire this year to enjoy a successful life? As you prepare to take giant steps towards a most fruitful year, there is need for you acquire the things that really matter for indelible success. How you start truly determines your end result. This posts gives the three assets you must possess to have a glorious year ahead.

But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison – Genesis 39:21 (KJV)

And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti – Esther 2:17 (KJV)

That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus – Ephesians 2:7 (KJV)

What you have within you determines what you have outside you. The qualities you carry determine the quality of your experience and results. And when these qualities are of God you are assured of great exploits.
In my studies and meditations I discovered that what one desperately needs to succeed in life is basically the mercy, favour and grace of God. These three assets will take you to any height of success in life you may desire.

Mercy
The mercy of God alleviates distress and shows compassion on offenders. As long as you are on earth, the enemy will always put stumbling blocks before you, and a cry of mercy God will never overlook. He will always deliver His children from  them that are stronger than they are – Psalm 35:10. Many times too we err and it is the mercy of God that delivers us from the punishment that we rightly deserve.

Joseph enjoyed the mercy of God. When the enemy planned to pull him down and destroy his destiny, God intervened, showed him mercy and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison – Genesis 39:21.

You Are Not An Island


How bad were you hurt last year that you have chosen to be alone, an island? How do you think that you can make it as an Island for the twelve months of this New Year? God did not make you an Island, so you can never succeed as one. This article aims at confirming to you that you are not an Island.

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him - Genesis 2:18 (KJV)

But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary - 1 Corinthians 12:18-22 (KJV)

For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety - Proverbs 24:6 (KJV)

I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing - John 15:5 (KJV)

Oh mine, people hurt me a lot last year and I will not give anybody the opportunity to do so again, NOT THIS YEAR! I can imagine how you feel. It truly can be painful to be hurt by people, especially by those you least expect to hurt you. But that shouldn't make you an Island, nobody is worth it!

God made Adam and put him in the best place ever with all the food and beauty you can think of, gave him sole authority to name all the animals and to manage the place. But God Himself for the first time in His creation, considered Adam's being alone as not being good - Genesis 2:18. He had to make a perfect match to complement Adam: Eve. Read more...

Have Mercy On Me This New Year.


A new year, a new beginning; the old year has gone and a fresh start has just begun! What does this year have for you and how can you tap into the best it has for you? It will take the mercy and favour of God to enjoy the goodies of this year. This article tells you how to tap into the mercies of God and cry out, "oh God, have mercy on me"

O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures forever. To him who alone does great wonders: for his mercy endures forever. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures for ever - Psalm 136:3-5 (KJV)

You shall arise, and have mercy on Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come - Psalm 102:13 (KJV)

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation - Psalm 13:5 (KJV)

Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endures for ever - Psalm 118:4 (KJV)

A new year has finally come, and whatever was the outcome of last year now has an opportunity to have a fresh start and have a better outcome. But you will require the mercies of God not to be consumed - Lamentations 3:22

The flesh is prone to errors but the Lord's mercies prevail over judgment - James 2:13. The accuser of brethren, the devil, is ever ready to accuse you (Revelations 12:10) and remind God of His word. Therefore, you need God's mercies upon your life to be steps ahead of your accuser.

God's mercy is the reason why you were not consumed last year. The enemy meant last year to be full of misery for you but the Lord's mercy prevailed. You need to depend on God's mercy and consciously seek it this year. The enemy will surely gather against you but the mercy of God will cause them to fall for your sake- Isaiah 54:15. Read more...
