GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT59

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT59* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Having established for now that life does not end but transformed from mortality to immortality and having known that in the case of immortality that it will either be spent in heaven or hell and that there is no way you can miss both of them. If you miss heaven you will can never miss hell and if you miss hell you can never miss heaven so whichever one we find ourselves is a product of our lifestyle(fruit). Amen!!! In essence what truly is life? For me as a person, life is not the body we walk about with, life is not about sleeping and waking, life is not about houses and cars but life is that tangible investment of God in every man/woman not for consumption but for contributions, for the service of God and the good of hum...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT58

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT58* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. A friend of mine once told me that he will not like to go to heaven and i was curious enough to ask him why and he said that from what he heard about heaven that heaven will be too boring so he will be pleased to go to hell where it will be bubbling with all kinds of things raging from sex, beer, music and the likes. This my friends position tells more of the fruits that are not of the vine(Jesus) and the bible calls it the fruit of the flesh or work of the flesh and these are the bad things which should be avoided because the end is hell though they are the sweet things people like to engage themselves in but the fruit will lead to where I e may not wish even his enemy. *Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: a...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT57

*FAITH NUGGET* * GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT57* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen that four(4) major things awaits man since life does not end but transformed from one level to another and we said that this transformation will either end one in heaven or hell depending on one's despirate and determined efforts and decisions. The man as we have said before does not die but since it separated from God he has to make a conscious effort whether to or not to return to God since he has separated from God whom he came from i mean from where he came from, either to God that breathed into man or otherwise but since he has separated from God "to whom will he return?" This is where the two(2) last things come in and whichever one we choose is entirely our decision. It is either man ret...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT56

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT56* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen that life is not meant for consumption but for contribution hence our source of all resources admonished is to be fruitful so that by so doing our lives will be impactful and having seen that we would proceed to take a look at life itself. Initially we were told that God breathed into man the breath of life, now there are many trees in the garden for many purposes but there was one that was in the middle and that middle one was called the tree of life. I want to start by saying that there are different types of life. Trees have life, animals have life and humans have life and these lives are not the same but in all the life of man is superior. The reason why the life of man is superior is that it first of all c...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT55

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT55* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. What a mighty God we serve, heaven and earth adores Him Angels bow before him, He is, He was and He will forever be. What a father that keeps revealing His ways to His children to Him be all the glory and praise forever. Amen. We have been privileged as usual to see so many reasons why our father wants us to be fruitful and today we will continue from where we stopped. It is the will of our father that we remain in Him so our not been fruitful apart from making it look like our father is stingy with grace(nutrients) is also a sign of detachment from the vine(the great provider) and our father(God) does not want us to be detached from Him. Another bad thing about not been fruitful is that the time spent by the gardener to te...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT54

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT54* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Are you not surprised that as rich as God is that He does not tolerate waste? Remember the case of the small boy with two loaves of bread and five fishes and yet he was able to gather twelve baskets of leftover. So He expects us to make full use of the nutrients(grace) that He supplies to us on constant bases. So the call to holiness of life is a clarion call to maximise resources (Grace) which is been lavished on us on daily and constant bases as wasting it may amount to gross indiscipline and total disobedience. It is our fruitfulness that glorifies the Lord so if we are in anyway trying to give glory to God our first point of call should be to be holy and by so doing you will be enlisted as a follower of Christ because y...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT52

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT52* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We saw that the principal fruit that our supplier of nutrients(grace) wants us to bear is holiness and He wants us to do that the way that he is doing it "Be holy as i am holy" and to be holy the way God is means that our holiness must be complete lacking in no area if our lives. The grace(nutrients) for this holiness even to the standard to which God wants it has been supplied and like we said earlier God wouldn't have asked us to be holy if he has not given us what we need to be holy. So not been holy is a waste of resources(grace) Not to be holy is to hide the grace( nutrients) of God like the steward that hid his talents in the bible and we know the consequences of doing so "*Then he who had received ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT52* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen that nothing gladdens the heart of a father like seeing his son growing to maturity and we said that God telling us to be fruitful is a call from a loving father to His children to be like Him in the area of manifesting his character and nature and we said that God has deposited something in our lives which He expects us to manifest so thay He can be glorified. There is one powerful character of God that He wants us to manifest in the form of fruitfulness and that is what i want us to take a look at today. *Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God*. *Lev 20:7*. Consecrate(plug into, make full use, utilise the grace) yourselves in a simple term means that we should use the the gra...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT51

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT51* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We said that there is nothing that makes a man more happy than to see his children become like him and if not that no one can beat God in anything one woul have said "even better than Him" but even when we can not be better than God He still expects us to grow to the point where He can be so proud of us  The whole essence of asking us to be fruitful is to exhibit some characters of God in relating to our brothers and sisters in order to make the world a better place. We know our God to be a generous God so by asking us to be fruitful He meant that we should share what he has given to us amongst ourselves  When God says be fruitful it means that or rather He is drawing our attention to the fact that there is somet...

THE LORD HEAR YOU WHEN YOU CRY

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *THE LORD HEAR YOU WHEN YOU CRY*. *Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary*. *Ps 28:2*. How can we repay the Lord for all His unmerited goodness to us? We will continue to raise our hands in praise and call upon the name of the Lord that does wonders without number. To Him alone be all the glory both now and forever by the power in the name of Jesus. Beloved i pray for you and with you that every one of your supplication that seems to be unheard that the God that does wonders without number will proof to you his immeasurable love by visiting you today with answers to all the supplications and grand you comfort and rest on all sides by the power in the name of Jesus. I pray for you that from today that the God that answers even before we call will make you a project of constant divine intervention so that anytime, any day all your prayers will be enjoying quick response from heaven...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT50

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT50* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Having seen the physical and spiritual fruits which our father(vine) requires of us(branches) because we are both physical and spiritual beings like we said the other day that man is a spirit with a soul living in a body today we will try to take a look at why God should expect us to be fruitful. Have heard that every man wants his son to be like him and even greater? Do you know that God is a father and not just a father but the best father ever and that will ever be? There are so many things that God has put in us and expects us to exhibit to our brothers and sisters and to our world. *Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT50

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT50* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have been led by the spirit God to see so far what it means to be fruitful and we have also seen the kind of fruit that we are expected to bear and we know from the scripture that it is the will of our father that we not just bear fruit but bear much fruit which buttresses the fact that much has been given to us and to whom much is given much is also expected so am not surprised when God expects much fruit from us, it is a sign that much has been given to us. We have also seen that this call to fruitfulness is a call to produce only good fruit as the bible made us to know that we can only be known by our own fruits and apart from the physical fruit which can be seen in our characters we also have some spiritual fruit whi...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT49

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT49* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have been looking at what it means to be fruitful and the kinds of fruits that we are expected to bear and having seen that, we will now proceed to look at other area of fruitfulness because no matter what the devil does we must be fruitful in Jesus name because fruitfulness is in our gene and is our nature. The concept of being "fruitful" is a common feature throughout the Bible. It is a call to action for all believers in Christ to live a life that is exemplary and produces good works and bears fruit for the glory of God. It is a Clarion call from our maker to all His children to the effect that it is not an option but a necessity for all believers. But because the call to fruitfulness is a product of actions...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT48

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT48* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have found out that the best way or the kind of fruitfulness that our vine(Jesus) requires of us considering the kind of nutrients(grace) that He has lavished on us is to be seen in our characters. A fruit is what comes out of the branch as such what comes out of us is the fruit that we bear on daily basis. Having seen the kind of fruit that we are supposed to bear today we will continue in that light as there are many kinds of fruits expected of us and we cannot bear this fruits unless we do one thing "abide in the vine" "*I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing*. *Jn 15:5*. Bear it in mind that there is bearing of fruits ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT47* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen that being fruitful is not about producing fruits like mango and orange but producing characters that will make people to see God in us and to give glory to the God that our lives expresses and represents and not replace as many do in our world today where many of us no longer present or represent God to the people but ourselves all because of praise and exploration of our fellow men. Having seen the fruits that our lives are meant to produce it will be good for us to continue from where we stopped yesterday. To live a fruitful life it must begins with contentment. Contentment about whay God has deposited in us and with joy accept this unique gifts and expressing this gifts with joy in the Holy Spirit. This joy...

GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT46

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT46* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. What a great privilege to know the mind of God as knowledge they say is power we pray that we will not lack what it takes to do the will of God in our generation by the power in the name of Jesus. As we have said we have seen that God requires us to be fruitful because enough grace has been deposited in us to do so. We will not move further without first and foremost taking a look at what it means to be fruitful, to be fruitful in this context is not to produce like mango and orange or to produce children. Thought it is the will of God that we produce children but this fruitfulness has nothing to do with childbearing. When Jesus said that He wants us to be fruitful what He was saying is that He wants us to produce many usef...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen that the life that God gave to us is for us to serve him by doing his will just like Jesus and apart from doing the will of God like Jesus did there are so many other things that Jesus Himself from whom we draw life from and whose we are is expecting to see you and i do in addition to doing the will and purpose of God, today we shall see some of them. *Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit*. *Jn 15:2*. Apart from doing the will of our father the other thing that we need to do is to be fruitful, to be fruitful is to show forth the evidence of what you have inside of you. To be fruitful is to show that you have been nour...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen the kind of life that we have, the life that is so special. during creation the tree was in the midst of the garden but in our own time the tree is no longer interested in being in the midst but in us but this time we have to make the move of going to him through our acceptance in faith and St Paul told you and i that once we make that move and get united with the new tree(vine) that we will no longer be who we used to be but a new creation reason being that we are in Christ, that we have united with Christ and become one with him. Amen!!! That being said we are going to be looking at the purpose of this life that God has graciously given to us out of His magnanimity, mercy and love which qualified us when we l...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Praise the Lord somebody!!! We have come to know that as many of us that are in Christ that we are new creation and that we cannot live without of God as in Him we live, move and have our being and we said that we need knowledge so as to know where we are getting into and how and we further found out that Jesus was only doing what His father asked and expected Him to do and so we should too. Today once and again we will sit at Jesus's feet to hear from him again. Amen!!? *For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself*, *Jn 5:26*. I love what Jesus said here, that the father has life. Have you heard the saying that you cannot give what you don't have? So you can see that co...

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT43* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have heard from St Paul that our lives are hidden in Christ and that Christ is hidden in God and we said that for us to have that divine connection which is by God's mercy that we should have the necessary knowledge of what we are getting into and what is required of us. The root cannot be separated from the tree, the tree and the root are inseparable hence Jesus will say that  *I and My Father are one*.". *Jn 10:30*. When Jesus said that He and the father are one He was not mincing words and he went ahead to tell us what made them one. *I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work*. *Jn 9:4*. The work of the father requires urgency "while it is still da...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Yesterday we tried to see what it takes to be in Christ so that we can get out of crisis because life outside Christ is full of crisis and we said that the most important tool that we need is knowledge as it is that will help us to know what we are getting into and how to go about it. Today we want to continue to see what it means or takes to be in Christ Apart from the ones we have already seen. Apart from knowledge so as to know what one is getting into another important tool there is wisdom not just to know what we are getting into but how to go about it hence the bible calls wisdom the "principal thing" Prov 4:7. For us to be in Christ we must die to sin and live a life of righteousness, we must live like Jesu...

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT41* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. The other day we saw that we live, move and have our being in God and St Paul went ahead to tell us that we don't just live, move and have our being in Him but also that our lives are hidden in Christ and that Christ is hidden in God and we said that we are too connected to be defeated by the enemy the devil. Remember that we have seen Jesus telling us about all that will come to Him, so for us to have this divine connection we must participate by seeking and making sure that we go to God through Jesus. St Paul seem to know more or have inspiration more on the vine as he told us that all of us that have made effort to be in Christ(vine) and are still in Christ that we are new creations he went ahead to say that the old...

*FAITH NUGGET* *GOD IS A GREAT PROVIDER PT40* *And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen how two people came in respect to our divine inheritance, the first one came to kill, steal and to destroy and so he was able to steal and destroy our inheritance thank God that he has no power to kill he would have taken our lives as well but when the second came He did not just restore the things that was stolen and destroyed but He gave us life and life in aboundance. Amen!!! If there is any other definition of divine connection that you need you may need to search till eternity because to be in the vine(Jesus) that is connected to the root(God) is the best connection ever anyone can ever think of or imagined. My dear you are too connected to be ordinary. The apostles has a better understanding of what it me...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Yesterday we saw that the vine is not interested in loosing any of us because we were given or entrusted to him by His father and He will be a failure if he allows any of us to be lost but he cannot help it if any of us chooses the way of perdition. *While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled*. *Jn 17:12* We are going to take a deeper look at what Jesus said yesterday remember that from the gospel of St John that He said "Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost" so his mission is to make sure that none of us gets lost except anyone that chooses to ...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. Yesterday we said that the privilege given to us by the vine to be called His branches is only an invitation which many has turned down already and many has embraced too and we also saw that not all that embraced this invitation can remain as many will because of one thing or the other choose to leave but St Paul told us that for those that wants or that chooses to remain that nothing can separate them because they are bonded by the love of the vine and love never ends. It will also interest you to know that the vine is not ready or interested in loosing any of its branches(you and i) so those branches(any of us) that choose to be cut off or fall of on their own should know that they are not serving the interest of the vine...

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*.

Yesterday we said that Jesus the vine called you and i His branches and we said that it was not and never our right to be so but that by His mercy and love He found us worthy to be so and we said that a branch can be affected by many factors ranging from wind(circumstances) storms(troubles) and parasites(temptations) but we concluded that they are some branches that can never be affected by all these. The reason why ma...

I SHALL NOT DIE

*LET US PRAY*  (*PRAYER FOR THE MONTH*) *I SHALL NOT DIE* *But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god* *Acts 28:5-6*. We continue to thank God for another privilege of seeing another wonderful month as i congratulate you dear friend i join you to thank God for this unmerited favour and return all the glory to Him both now and forever  Beloved i pray for you and with you that as you step into the second month of the ember months i pray for you that any person, power or kingdom that has been waiting or expecting evil or bad things to happen to you will wait and waste as they will never live to see that expectation come to pass in your live and family by the power in the name of Jesus. Powers that are angry that you made it in the first Ember month and thought that ...

YOU WILL FINISH WELL

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *YOU WILL FINISH WELL*. "The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. Zachariah 4:9. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Ps 150:6. According to the spalmist the reason why God keep giving us breath is for us to praise him and so we continue to praise Him because it takes only God to give breath. May His name be praised both now and forever for great things that He has done and for the greater things that He will do in our lives and families by the power in the name of Jesus. Beloved on this beautiful day that the Lord has made as i rejoice with you i pray for you and with you that whatever you have started in this year that seem to have no end i pray for you that the anointing of finishing and finishing well and strong fall upon you now for you to finish all your projects by the power in the name of Jesus.

The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.  *Gen 2:9*. We have seen how generous the new tree(vine) is that He came down so low as to call us His branches and so we are and we saw that every branch depends solely on the tree and we said that it is the will of God that we depend on him as our source and provider and i can authoritatively tell you dear friend that there is no better place to be than to be in the vine(Jesus) It is more than enough that Jesus has chosen to make us a branch in Him but let me also tell us that the same Jesus will never force us to stay or remain in him. Like as it is said "you were created without your input and consent but you cannot be saved without your cooperation) and St Paul will put it this way. *Therefore, my beloved, as you have always ...
