DIVINE PROTECTION*

*LET US PRAY.* *DIVINE PROTECTION* *So Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land*.  *Job 1:9-10*. I pray for you dear child of God that in this week and beyond that the God of heaven will build a hedge around you, your family and all that you have to protect you and your family from every attack from the enemies of your life in Jesus name Amen. May God give us the grace to fear Him in all that we do and say so that His protection will always be with us in Jesus name Amen. May God bless the work of our Hands this week and beyond and increase our possession on all sides, may He make our pains to come to an end and our gain may he multiply a thousand times in Jesus name Amen. Every error in our lives that attracts demonic attacks or that makes us loose our blessings or compr...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT38*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT38* *I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service*. *Rom 12:1*. We have succeeded in taking a look at sacrifice generally and what makes a sacrifice holy and acceptable but today we are looking at what makes a sacrifice living.  And he concluded by saying that it must be reasonable sacrifice offered on the alter of service so this kind of sacrifice is not about what you have but sacrificing yourself. Jesus sacrificed himself for us on the alter of calvary but he is not calling us to kill ourselves but to serve him with our all. How do we offer this kind of sacrifice?   Through:+ 1. *OBEDIENCE*. The book of Ecclesiastes gives us all that we need to know about obeying God. This kind o living sacrifice involves bringing to God what pleases him.  This kind sacrifice expressess that we place God above all else in our lives. God is in...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT38* *I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service*. *Rom 12:1*. We have been looking at what makes a sacrifice acceptable to God and we have talked about 1. Whole 2. Voluntary and Right. Today being helped by God we will continue to see more. 4. *THANKSGIVING*. The purpose and intention must be right. It must be to thank God for what we enjoyed unqualified and not to pay God for what He has done for us as no man can pay or will be able to pay God also knowing full well that our Thanksgiving adds nothing to God but profits us into salvation and avails us the opportunity to receive more.. *I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord*. *Ps 116:17*. 5. *HONOUR GOD*. Do you want to honour God? Then give Him quality worship and praise as a sacrifice of praise honours the Lord. 6. *LOVE*. ...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT38*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT38* *I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service*. *Rom 12:1*. Yesterday we saw what sacrifice is all about and how to make sacrifices and today we are going to be looking at what bro Paul meant by acceptable sacrifice. If there is an acceptable sacrifice it means that there is an unacceptable sacrifice as well but we are concerned only with that of acceptable sacrifice. For a sacrifice to be acceptable it must be, 1 *WHOLE*. For a sacrifice to be whole it must be Complete; entire; not defective or imperfect. It must contain the total amount or number, or the entire thing. In the old testament it is usually said to be without blemish. To be without blemish simply means that it must have no element of deformity; or scar or defect it must have no mark of imperfection from it's originality. 2. *VOLUNTARY*. It must be voluntary...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT37*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT37* *I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service*. *Rom 12:1*. We started by looking at what it takes to be a good apostle from where we saw that some of our brethren of old rejoiced and were encouraged by the word that they heard and we started digging deep to know why the word of God gave them joy when it doesn't even do anything to us in our time. We were helped of God to see why the word gave them joy and we have dealt with it extensively and today we are going to answer just one question "HOW" as bro James told us that it is not just about knowing or doing but that it also has to do with continuing. We won't be doing ourselves any good if we know what to do but don't know how to do it or how to go about it hence we asked brother Paul and he told us that the how is to sacrifice our bodies as a living s...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT36*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT36* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. We have been looking at proving that which is good according to bro Paul as he told us that the result of a renewed mind is to proof what is good and acceptable to God and we have been helped by God to see some of them and i strongly believe that God has inspired some into you too. Having seen how to proof what is good including the once that God has inspired into your mind which is not written here today i want us to look at the perfect will of God according to our brother Paul. I consulted a book called catechism of the Catholic church (CCC) to see if i could find the perfect will of God and to the glory of God i was not disappointed as i found the following as the perfect will of God. 1. To know God. 2. To love God. 3. To serve God here on earth and 4. To be wit...

*ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT35

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT35* *But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does*.  *James* *1:22-23*. On Sunday we saw bro James telling us about what it takes to proof what is good. He told us that if we hear the word of God and do what the word tells us not not just hearing and doing nothing about it that it births freedom and blessings. Doing what the word tells us is one condition to enter into freedom and blessings but there is another condition that he gave that I want us to take a look at today. He said "and CONTINUE" in the perfect word of freedom. So today having looked at doi...

REST ON ALL SIDES*

*LET US PRAY.* *REST ON ALL SIDES* *But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence*.  *1Kgs 5:4*. We are in the seventh month and the number seven stands for rest and so I pray for you and every member of your family that in this week the Lord shall clothe you with rest on all sides in Jesus name Amen. Every adversary of your rest will rest in peace and whatever that wants to trouble you will know the shame of defeat in Jesus name Amen. By this rest, every evil occurrences that has happened before comes to an end and any other that may happen will not find a place of manifestations. We curse every evil occurrence to come to an end in Jesus name Amen. Whatever that you have lost consequences upon any evil occurrence, today we command total restoration in the name of Jesus. Your are protected, preserved and provided for in this week and beyond by God. The hand of God will take you to places of blessings. In this week your food is b...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT34* *But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does*.  *James* *1:22-23*. Did you see what I saw? Have you seen why the word of God birthed joy and encouragement to the hearers? Let me show you what i discover from what St James said. *But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does*. First of all he said that the word of the Lord(bible) is a perfect law of liberty not of bondage so if one wants to be free from bondage especially the bondage of fear, i...

ALL ROUND PROTECTION*

*LET US PRAY.* *ALL ROUND PROTECTION* *Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land*.  *Job 1:10*. Congratulations dear for making it to the month of July and all the glory to God that made it possible even as i pray for you and your family that this month shall be for you and yours a month of all round protection. I pray for you that just as the first half of the month could not swallow you this month and this second half of the year will never see your end in the name of Jesus. The Lord will build a hedge around you and every member of your family to protect all of you from the snare of the enemies in the name of Jesus. Any evil that has been programmed into this second half of the year will not locate you or any member of your family in Jesus name Amen Any blessing that has eluded you so far, by the power in the name of Jesus you will recove...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT33* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. Still on the issue of proving that which is good I decided today to ask St James about his opinion concerning the subject Matter and he has this to tell us. *But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does*.  *James* *1:22-23*. God is our manufacturer and the bible is the manual that He has given to us to know how to operate in this word. From my own understanding, what St James is sayin...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT32* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. As we continue to look at ways to proof what is good we still have the following points to add to the already mentioned ones. To proof what is good we must have a change of heart, change from the inner self a personal conviction and a resolution not to go back and with a determination that nothing will make us do otherwise. We must embark on mental and spiritual revolution the way we think and the way we approach things must change positively especially things that has to do with God. We must not wait to wear robes or special regalias or wait to be given titles in the church before we do the needful. We must know that our calling is not about titles or robes We must move from religion (rituals and eye service) to relationship with God.  We must strive to establish ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT31* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. I believe God that these messages has been meeting you well and that it is birthing joy and encouragement in your life and if it has to God alone be all the glory. Today we will continue to look at how we can proof what is good as that is what our father in heaven expects us to do. Apart the ones that we have seen before we can still proof what is good in the following ways. We can proof what is good by having a new attitude towards things and people around us and changing our views and putting on new principles, ideas, conversation, etc. We can proof what is good by constantly dying to sin more and more and living to righteousness more and more thereby becoming the best of whom God wants you to be. We proof what is good by daily submitting ourselves, our will and ...

MORE THAN EXPECTED*

*LET US PRAY.* *MORE THAN EXPECTED* *So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk*.".  *Acts 3:5-6*. As the month of June gradually comes to an end and as the first half of this year gradually winds up i pray for you and with you that whatever be your expectation for this year that no matter how the past has been that you will get more than expected in Jesus name. As the kame man at the beautiful gate was not disappointed so shall disappointment and anything that looks like disappointment run dar from you in the name of Jesus. Anyway that you have been disappointed before now, may the God of glory give you a blessing that will make you to forget the pain of that disappointment in a hurry in Jesus name. As the miracle of the lame man made him to jump for joy, i pray that God will give you a miracle that will birt...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT30*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT30* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. There are many areas of our lives where we can proof what is good apart from the areas that we mentioned yesterday we will be seeing a host of others today. Another way that we can proof what is good is to be more dutiful to God and less to self and be more, committed and consistent in our spiritual life. One can also proof what is good by walking by faith and not by sight. It to not allow what is happening around us to influence our faith but to allow our faith to influence whatever that is happening around us. To proof what is good is to be in fellowship in and out of season and not to be in fellowship today and be absent the next day. Another way to proof what is good is to allow our lives to reflect what we believe. We should not just profess our religion but w...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT29*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT29* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. St Paul told us that to renew our minds is not all that it takes but that we must proof that which is good. There is something in you that the Lord wants you to showcase so that the people will see it and know that you are not who you used to be and that God is good and that repentance is possible. To proof that which is good is not about impressing people as many of us do in the church today but to express yourself in such a manner that is devoid of pretence where what we do does not matter but the intention and the quality of work done and to whom the glory goes. To proof that which is good is to worship God without regretting it. Many people today worship with "had I know mentality because they wished they never gave their lives to Christ. To proof that whi...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT28* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. We have been taking a look at what it means to renew our mind and today we want to take a look at how to renew our mind. 1. Seek the face of God in the place of prayer. Hannah told us that by strength shall no man prevail which means that every man needs the help of God. As a matter of fact there is no great man on earth all that we have are helped men and when God is the one helping you be rest assured that all will go well with you 2. Stop focusing on yourself and on your abilities. Have a possibility mindset that you can do it by the help and grace of God, motivate yourself and not focus on your weakness and remember that with God all things are possible. 3. Even when you fail, know that you can begin again and even better know that giving up is not and cannot b...

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT27* *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. Yesterday we started looking at what led to the birthing of joy and encouragement in the lives if the early believers when they heard the word of God read to them and St Paul told us that it had to do with 1. Transformation 2. Renewing of the mind. 3. Proving what is good and perfect will of God. Today we will be looking at what it takes to renew our minds. Apart from all that we saw yesterday we still have the following as part of the renewal of the mind. 1. It entails the examination of our lives and the possible outcome of it. Are we living our best? Where are we getting it wrong? Where do we need amendments? How do we go about it? 2. How about our focus? Is it on Christ the author and the finisher of our faith or other things? Are we really focusing on Jesus or...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT26*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT26* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. We are still looking at why the word of God that they heard birthed joy and encouragement in their lives and we have been making appeals to St Paul for more clarification and today he has given us another reason why the word birthed joy and encouragement in their lives. *And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God*. *Roman 12:2*. From the epistle of St Paul you will agree with me that these people were  1. Not ready to continue to with their former ways of life. They were determined for a change of life and the message did not make it burdensome for them. 2. Ready to be transformed by the word of God. Transformation is something that effects or able to effect a change of form or state. 3. They were ready to renew their mind. To renew their mind...

GO FORWARD HENCEFORTH*

*LET US PRAY.* *GO FORWARD HENCEFORTH* *So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go*.   *Ex 3:20*. I pray that the hands of God will be stretched over your life to deliver you from the hands of your enemies. May His hand snatch you away from every fiery fire of wickedness. May His hand paralyse every hand of wickedness that has been assigned to afflict you and may his hands destroy every hand on assignment to destroy you in the name of Jesus. Anywhere that the enemies has marked that you will not cross, today by the power in the hand of the almighty God may the Angels of God carry you beyond that point now in Jesus name. May the hands of God fight all your battles, may His hands defend you from the attacks of the evil ones, may His hands recover for you all that you have lost and may His hands supply all your needs in Jesus name. Any power, person or persons or kingdoms that has been saying no, or ma...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT25*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT25* *They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us*.  *1 John 2:10-20*. We have been able to establish the reasons why some men were called "certain men" by the apostles and by the grace of God we have seen what makes them "certain men".  One of the reasons that I will like to bring to our remembrance is the fact that they were called certain men because they were not worthy to be called apostles, disciples or christians. If your antecedents were to be x-rayed with prism of faith and righteousness will you be called a "certain men" or a Christian? It is easier to condemn others even when we are the worst of. If you are part of those causing confusion in the church know dear friend that you are just nothing but a certain man. If your intention is to rubbish the church just t...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT24

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT24* *They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us*.  *1 John 2:10-20*. Having seen the reasons why they were called "certain men" i went further to ask St John his opinion about certain men and he told us that they are the people that " Went out from us" which means that they were with us (that was when they were creating problem of circumcision). He went further to tell us that even if they were with us that they were not part of us. They had no part with us, they were only pretending (wolves in sheep clothing) and when they could nolonger pretend about who they were, they had to leave. The reason St John gave was that, if actually they were with us that they would have continued with us in. 1. Fellowship. 2. Prayer/fasting 3. Doctrine 3. Breaking of bread. *And they continued stea...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT24*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT24* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Yesterday we started looking at the activities of "certain men" and we were able to see why they were called certain men and in the cause of that we saw that the reason why they were called certain men were 1. Status quo. 2. Misunderstanding etc so today we are going to be seeing more of the reasons why they were called"certain men" 3. Over zealousness. To be zealous is good but to be over zealous is bad. Zealousness is a motivation to do more but over zealousness is taking the whole things out of context. Over zealousness make you think that you are better than others. Over zealousness makes you think that you are the only one that is right. It also make one to believe that nobody can do it apart from you and you alone. 4. Segregation. The different denominations that we have today in Christianity is all about certain men. The bible said th...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT23*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT23* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Did you remember how we got here? Let me refresh your memory. The text that we started with started with "certain men" did you remember now? It was these "certain men" that were insisting that the new converts get circumcised according to the law of Moses. The bible has made it clear to us why these men were called certain men and why they did what they did, now see! *Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, "You must be circumcised and keep the law" to whom we gave no such commandment* These are the problems in the church today, many going out because they think that they have seen the light and as such unsettle others mind in a bid to make them see the light which they think that they have seen. What could be the cause of all these?. 1. Status quo. The church a...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT22*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT22* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Having encouraged ourselves to do all that we can to shine brighter and brighter today we want to look at what the bible says about a "perfect day" *But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day*. In the scriptures, perfect means "complete, whole, and fully developed, totally righteous and so forth. First of all when the bible talks about shining till the perfect day it means that there is no area in your life that you will not shine. It means that you will shine in your business, carrier, marriage, infact whatever you touch will receive a touch of perfection and that is what is happening to you now in the name of Jesus. Secondly it means that you will not shine in some days and fail to shine in other days. No sir, it means that the more you shine you more you will continue to shine and that is yo...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Having seen what it takes to shine, today we will be looking at what it takes to keep shining because i believe that it is everyone's dream to move from good to better and the book of proverbs puts it this way. *But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day*. So we have seen now that it takes one being just to keep shining brighter and brighter and the big question now is "who is a just man or what does it take to be just?".  A just man is a man of "righteousness" and "justice" being attuned to the right thing and actually doing it. Which mean that the man must not just be morally upright and good but must be seen to live it out in his daily life. What is righteousness? By righteousness we means "Purity of heart and rectitude of life; conformity of heart and life to the di...

TERMINATION OF EVERY AFFLICTION FROM BIRTH*

*LET US PRAY.* *TERMINATION OF EVERY AFFLICTION FROM BIRTH* *And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple*;.  *Acts 3:2*. Anything that followed you from birth that has been causing you Shane and disgrace, anything no matter the name that has been wasting opportunities and blessings in your life they are waisted. now in Jesus name Anything that has made you a low life and a nobody from birth, anything fired into your life right from the womb that has been keeping you in one place and has refused to let you move forward today they are fired back to hell in Jesus name.. Whatever that has been making you to take a step forward and three steps backwards, Whatever that makes you not to be blessed in the place of blessings today they catch fire in Jesus name. Anything that looks like an opportunity around you yet you cannot access it, any blessing around y...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Yesterday we started looking at what it takes to shine and today we will continue to look at many more ingredients that we need in order to shine. 5. Fasting. Jesus speaking about fasting said that *when you fast" which means that fasting is not an option whenever you need result but a necessity. 6. Obedience. God speaking in the book of job says that. *"if they obey and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.*" 7. Being just. Being just simply means doing what is morally right or what is considered good. " *But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day*." 8. Battle mentality. For you to shine, you must know that there are powers that does not want you to shine and that they cannot be wished away but fought till they surrender permanently. 9. W...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT21* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. Yesterday we started taking a look at light because that is what the glory carries and we were able to see that light speaks of knowledge and illumination. Today we are going to be exposing many more things about light. I mean looking at other aspects of light which include, 3. Understanding. Have you heard people say "throw more light?" It means to make whatever that is been said to be clearer and easy to understand. 4. Instruction. David one of the patriarchs speaking in the book psalm said. *Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path*. It means that the word can enlighten us on our day to day step and even if we want to go far that the word is also there for our path. 4. Speed. Have you ever seen anybody turning on the light and waiting for the bulb to get lit? As soon as the switch is turned on the light comes up hence people talk abo...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT20*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT20* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. For over five days now we have been looking at the mind and today by the grace of God we will be looking at the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ as st Paul told us. *"whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them*.  You and i know that no matter how bright a light is that it makes no meaning to a blind man or woman hence the the god of this age used blindness against the light that the glory of the gospel births. They were blinded because. 1. Light signifies Knowledge and knowledge they say is power. Through the prophecy of Hosea God cried out saying *My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me*; The reason why many of us are were we are toda...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT19*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT19* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. For sometime now we have been looking at the mind and today we will still look at some aspect of the mind. *"whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them*.  The mind is the seat of affection. Whatever that affects a man starts from affection. To like something or not to like anything starts from the mind so you can see that the god of this age was very calculative in blinding the mind. The blinding of the mind is worse than physical blindness because Bartemaeus was blind yet he could recognise the presence of Jesus while the Pharacees and the Sadducees were claiming to be close to God yet blinded from the salvation brought by God through His son.

WE STOP EVERY STOPPER*

*LET US PRAY.* *WE STOP EVERY STOPPER* *Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm*.  *Mk 4:39*. Any man or woman on assignment or that has been assigned to stop you on the journey of life and progress today by the power in the name name of Jesus they are Stopped now in Jesus name. Any man or woman commanding the elements of nature to work against you or anything that concerns you, today may those elements begin to work against them now in the name of Jesus. Powers that says that you will not cross over from poverty to wealth, from nobody to somebody, from nonentity to some entity, today we curse them to die from their root in the name of Jesus. Any problem that has been parkaged from the pit of hell to keep you in perpetual sorrow, shame and disgrace, any problem that has been fashioned to swallow you or your destiny in life, today we return them ten times worse to the senders in the name of Jesu...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT19*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT19* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. For about three to four days now we have been looking at the mind and today by the grace and inspiration of God we will be looking at blindness since St Paul has mentioned it as one of the ways that the god of this age is using to make sure that the word is not birthing joy and encouragement in our lives in these words. *"whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them*.  The god of this age did not destroy their mind because he has no right to so but he can blind it hence he blinded their mind. To be blind speaks of so many things. First and foremost, to be blind means to  ✓ Lack vision,  ✓ Loose the ability to see,  ✓ Not seeing speaks of lack of direction.  ✓ When you don't see, anything can seem right to you.  ✓ When you don't see...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT18*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT18* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. St Paul has been telling us why the word of God that we hear does not birth joy and encouragement and we have been looking at the mind. Today we will continue to take a look at the mind. *"whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them*.  Whenever we talk about the mind one of the things that we are talking about is the intellectual or intelligent power in man, the ability of the man to understand. The mind is where the power to conceive, judge or reasons lies. So the mind is blinded by the god of this age to make us not to understand the word of god preached to us. Have you ever heard the word "To put in mind" or to keep in mind? It speaks of understanding and remembering what has been understood. We also have the word "to rem...

ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT17*

*FAITH NUGGET* *ACTS OF GOOD APOSTLES PT17* *When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement*.   *Acts 15:30-40*. The other day we started looking at why the word of the Lord that we hear almost everyday if not everyday does not birth joy and encouragement in our lives the way it did to the people of old and we consulted St Paul who told us that:- *"whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them*.  And we tried to take a look at the mind and darkness and today we want to take a look at the mind in a more serious dimension. Remember that we learnt that our mind is our might and that our minds is like the central processing unit of the computer.  Today we will continue to look at why the mind is the subject of the attack. A critical look at the mind will tell you that the mind is where descison making takes place, the descison either to accept the word of ...
