BEGIN WITH GOD PT11

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT11* *Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good*.  *Gen 1:4-25*. Have you heard of the saying that the journey of a hundred kilometers starts with a step? That is exactly what we were trying to say yesterday that for every journey a step must be taken first. From the look of what God has done and looking at the way it was done one will not but wonder the accuracy and precision taken in making sure that all things work well and are in order. All is a pointer that it was well planned. What we are saying here in essence is that God planned everything so God is a planner and i know that you will agree with that to fail to plan is alread...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT10

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT10* *Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good*.  *Gen 1:4-25*. Apart from God being God there are so many things that He never did even as God when He began the beginning and we are going to be looking at one of them and that is procrastination. Have you heard the saying that "procrastination is the thief if time?" Do you want to save time? So you intend to start something and on time too? Remember that today may be the only opportunity that you may have to do that which you want to do. What is procrastination? One of my dictionaries define procrastination thus. Procrastination is to be slow or late about doing something...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT9

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT9* *Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good*.  *Gen 1:4-25*. We started this series by seeing how God began a begining from nowhere, with nothing but with what He had inside of Him (all sufficient one) with that He began a begining. What am i driving at beloved? Don't wait to have the whole world before you begin to do something, don't wait to have all the finance, and human resources that you need before thinking of doing something, beloved start from somewhere and with what you have. God started from nowhere and and ended up somewhere. You and i know that life is a risk and that it is more risky not to take a risk. Many...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT8

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT8* *Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good*.  *Gen 1:4-25*. We have seen how God separated what He wanted from what He does not want and we said that the separation must be total and we went ahead to see that even places are part of what we have to separate from in this year. One of the major reason why we have to separate from places is that when you are in the wrong place at the wrong/right time, wrong things will definitely happen to you. In a nutshell what we are saying is that your location will determine your allocation. Today we are seeing how God paid attention to details of what He was creating even the smallest of them...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT7

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT7* *And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day*.  *Gen 1:4-5*. We said that one of the reasons why God separated the day from the night is distinguish what he wanted from what He does not want. So that He knows what to call and what to expect whenever He places a call across. Apart from separating certain things from our lives in terms of character and in our attitude there are also places that we need to separate ourselves from inorder to move forward with ease. The psalmist will say that  *i was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord." Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem*! *Ps 122:1-2*. He was glad because the house of the Lord is a good place to be. He was glad because being on the house of the Lord brings about blessings. He was glad because...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT6

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT6* *And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day*.  *Gen 1:4-5*. On Sunday we saw how God separated what He wanted from what He did not want and we said that in this year 2024 that it is necessary that we separate what we want from what we don't want and today we will continue from there. Amen!!! We saw that after separating what he wanted from what He did not want that He gave them names. What was good God called light and the other He called darkness. Why did He give them names? For easy identification. Names helps to call what you want from what you don't want. So that you know what you are calling and you know what to expect so that you don't call or mean to see something and another answers, it doesn't make sense. What are you calling those things that you want? Or are you using names...

O LORD GO WITH ME

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *O LORD GO WITH ME*. *And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here*.  *Ex 33:15- 16,.  All thanks be to the one and only wise God for the privilege of seeing another beautiful week which he has made for us to be happy and glad. May His name be praised both now and forever. In this new week i pray for you and with you that the presence of God which guarantee total rest on all sides will be with you as you begin this year by the power in the name of Jesus. In the presence of God mountains melt like wax and so i pray that as the presence of God goes with us in this week that every mountain of debt, sorrow set back, limitations and the likes be melted away in the name of Jesus. As we go through the year may the presence of God ward off from you everything that will not bring progress to you this year and as we journey in th...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT5

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT5* *And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day*.  *Gen 1:4-5*. We have seen how darkness all of a sudden manifested in creation and eventually God had to speak what He wanted into existence and today we are seeing how God saw what he wanted and decided to separate it from what was in existence. As we journey in this 2024, there are things that we need to separate from others. There are things that if we allow them to co-exist with what is in existence that it will make our journey a bad one or give it a bad name. God separated what is good from what is bad. As we journey we need to separate bad character from the good one, we need to separate from bad friends and influence from our lives, any association that will give us bad name we need to separate from them. God separated and so you too must separate...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT4

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT4* *The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light*.  *Gen 1:2-3*. Yesterday we saw how God was faced with challenges as He embarked on the journey of creation and eventually He looked down on the challenge and in verse three the bible said that what He did was to say what he wanted. He spoke what He wanted into being. Apart from working there are things we need to speak into being as we journey in this 2024. There are things that we are going to see that we don't want to see but child of God we have a weapon for them so don't worry. Speaking is not all about talking, Speaking can come in the form of prayer were we exercise the opportunity and grace given to us by God. Speaking can be talking to the right people that can help us and ultimately speaking can be talking to God who has th...

BEGIN WITH GOD PT3

*FAITH NUGGET* *BEGIN WITH GOD PT3* *In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters*.  *Gen 1:1-2*. *BEGINNING OF THE YEAR PROGRAME*. By way of encouraging ourselves to start the year with God we started a prayer and fasting programme to enable us to wait on God and we outlined the following as a guide. 1. Start with prayer and fasting. It may be for 7, 21 or 40 days with fasting lasting as much as 6:00am to 12:00, 03:00, or 06:00pm.   2. Choose the one that will be convinient for you. The most important thing here is consistency and total commitment to do it well and to the glory of God. 3. Make sure that you are not doing it to please any man or under duress or compulsion or as a ritual. 4. Read the bible as much as you can not as a literature but with some level of reflection. 5. Try to go through this reflection daily as it will hel...

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters*.  *Gen 1:1-2*. I joyfully and prayerfully welcome you my dearly beloved to the much anticipated and talked about year 2024. I know without any trace of doubt in me that you have your dreams and aspirations for this year 2024 and I pray for you that God almighty will help you to bring all of them to pass in Jesus name Amen. By way of adding to what you already know or are doing as it relates to the beginning of the year permit to advise that you don't just started the year just like that. 1.

FEAR NOT PT3

*FAITH NUGGET* *FEAR NOT PT3* Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. Math 2:16. Do you think that the blessings of others will make God not to bless you? Herod has been a king he never contested for, not elected but born to be and now hearing that another wants to be a king he decided to fight him because as far as he was concern the kingship should for himself alone and his family no other famithas right to any throne whether in his domain or not. The one thing that never came to his mind was that the one that made him king has the power to make another king without his permission and knowledge and so he decided to fight a fight that he will never win. Who is it that is fighting you because of the blessings of God in your life? Who has vowed ...

FEAR NOT PT2

*FAITH NUGGET* *FEAR NOT PT2* *Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren*.  *Lk 1:36*. We started looking at some of the evil seeds that the enemy the devil are sowing into our lives as we are about to cross over to our glorious year 2024 just to cast fear into our lives but thanks be to God who have given us victories in Christ Jesus our Lord.. Amen. Our opening scripture says that Elizabeth was given the name Elizabeth by her parents but the people choose to call her barren not minding that the bible said that "none shall be barren in the land" I don't know the name that 2023 has given to you or made people to give to you but hear me child of God. It is only God that has the final say in your life and let me tell you also that until the Lord speaks that every other speaker are just nothing but noise makers. When God showed up for madam Elizabeth it didn't matter what peo...

FEAR NOT

*FAITH NUGGET* *FEAR NOT* *And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn*.  *LK 2:7*. The year 2023 seem to be a difficult year and as such many of us may be nursing the fear of how next year will look like or be but hear me child of God i may not know what the future holds for you but i know who holds the future and His name is God and the good news is that the future that He holds for you is for good and not of evil and to give you your expected end. Amen!!! Can you imagine that Mary was pregnant as not just a small girl but a girl that knows nothing about child birth and then came a decree to take her away from her parents, aunties and all that would have helped her in giving birth. And as if that was not enough the bible recorded that when they got to the place she went into labour and friends and relatives refused to provide a place for her to put to bed and as if that was not e...

WHAT HAVE YOU RECEIVED? CHRIST OR CRISIS?

*FAITH NUGGET* *WHAT HAVE YOU RECEIVED? CHRIST OR CRISIS?* *But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy*.  *Lk 1:43-44*. Once and again i count it all joy and privilege to come your way as we celebrate Christ the reason for the season. It is my prayer that this season will birth God's goodness and blessings in Jesus name Amen. It takes the knowledge of knowing what you have to be able to appreciate it. Elizabeth had not seen Jesus, infact she had not seen Mary over a period of time but on that fateful day as the sound of the greeting of Mary made her to recognise what she carried and she celebrated it with her whole heart. The response of Elizabeth is such that will keep one meditating on the opportunities that we are wasting on daily bases "But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" See how she celebr...

ARE YOU PREPARED PT3

*FAITH NUGGET* *ARE YOU PREPARED PT3* *Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth*.   *LK 1:39-40*. Yesterday we saw how Mary was full of grace and as such she was able to carry Jesus in her womb for none months and afterwards delivered her for that salvation of all mankind. Today we are seeing how in the course of her preparation she reached out to her cousin Elizabeth with her time, talent and treasure. As part of your preparation have you made the list of those that you want to reach out to? You may not be able to hgive them everything but at least there is something that you have to give. There are some that needs words of encouragement, some need to know the reason for the season, some need to be guarded against making some irrational decisions just because they want to celebrate Christmas. What of those that needs just few cups of rice just to be part of the celebration? Mot...

ARE YOU PREPARED PT2

*FAITH NUGGET* *ARE YOU PREPARED PT2* *And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women*.  *Lk 1:28*. Yesterday we started looking at what it means to celebrate Christmas and not crazymas and we said that one of the criterias for preparing for Christmas is to be prepared by knowing what you are preparing for so today we will be looking at the life of Mary to see what it takes to be prepared. The bible said that an Angel appeared to her first of all greeted her with a royal greeting "hail" and he went ahead to deliver that message but first and foremost told her another thing "full of grace" I know that many will argue that grace is a free gift of God but before your argument let me put it to you that the angel did not say "God has given you grace" no but full of grace that is to say that she cooperated with the grace of God to the point that the grace became full in her life. Grace was giv...

ARE YOU PREPARED

*FAITH NUGGET* *ARE YOU PREPARED* *For unto us a child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace*.  *Is 9:6*. Having seen the life of sis Lydia let us proceed to see how we are getting set for the celebration of the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ. Anytime we get to this season many of us are always caught up with lots and lots of preparation not knowing what they are preparing for thereby preparing the wrong way. It is my opinion that you are either preparing for Christmas which is the birth of Jesus or you are preparing for crazymas which is following the crowd not knowing why or where they are going to or knowing the reason why the crowd are doing what they are doing. Many of us are preparing in buying new clothes, making preparation for what to eat and drink, friends to meet and how to travel long distance to celebrate with our loved ones but the...

DARE TO STAND OUT PT16*

*FAITH NUGGET* *DARE TO STAND OUT PT16* *Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us*.   *Acts 16:14:15*. By the help and grace of God we have seen extensively the life of our sister Lydia whom the bible told us was not just a hearer but also a doer of the word of God. I believe that the life of sis Lydia is been presented to us so that we can learn from her qualities and try to live out the good qualities that we have seen in her. If you have missed any of the episodes i encourage us to go to our site to see all of them by clicking the website below and i promise you that you will be glad indeed. Sis Lydia was a woman of virtues with a very strong and convincing integrity coupled ...

The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us*.   *Acts 16:14:15*. Yesterday we saw how sis Lydia begged that she should be given the opportunity of hosting the apostles. We are going to be looking at how she made the appeal having established that the appeal was born out of the fact that she was trying to create opportunities to worship God by all means. The Bible said that she made the appeal on this tune "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." can you see the tune? She placed her integrity on the line. Let me try to break it down. She was saying if you know by reason of your observations tha...

DARE TO STAND OUT PT14

*FAITH NUGGET* *DARE TO STAND OUT PT14* *Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us*.   *Acts 16:14:15*. We have been seeing the Acts of sis Lydia and how she made a commitment to worship the Lord to the point that even doubting Thomas could be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that she truly loved God. Today we will be seeing how she led every member of her family to God. She was so convinced in the faith that she found that she had to take the faith to every aspect of her family. Her faith did not just affect the way she live and her family life as a person but she ensured that the faith spread to everyone in her family. Apart from that she went ahead to make sure that all of th...
