Let Us Pray Fellowship

LET US PRAY  (THANKSGIVING FOR THE MONTH) *THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME THROUGH LORD* *Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth*.  *Lk 1:26*. What shall we render to the Lord for all His benevolence to you and i and members of our families? Should we give Him cow? House or the world? My dear this will be an offering too small for this biggest God that has no comparison in the way and manner that He blesses us. To him alone be all the glory both now and forever. Beloved, by the grace of Almighty God we have made it to the end of the first half of the year and i congratulate you for making it and i pray for you and with you that the angel that will see you through The rest of the second half will appear for you now and begin to follow you by the power in the name of Jesus  Wherever you have experienced lack, failure or setback in this first half of the year may the angels of God visit you in that areas and smite them to death and cause you n...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT14* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. At Paul speaking about why they were all filled with the Holy Spirit told us in his letter to the people of Rome that the Holy Spirit always come to help us. He recognises the fact that we are all weak and needs help and that the shortest way to get this help is through the Holy Spirit. Because the Spirit that we receive is Holy and for the very fact that the mission of the Holy Spirit is to make us Holy we cannot but subscribe to the help of the Holy one for all the enablement to be like Him. We cannot bank on the fact that we are weak and then choose to live anyhow. No sir we must as a matter of necessity try to live out the live expected of us by the giving of the Holy Spirit to you and i and that St Paul told us that we need the Holy Spirit to succeed. *So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT15* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have been looking at why the apostles were all filled with the Holy Spirit, first of all let me say that it was a matter of all of them not some. When everybody gathers to do a job the impact is always massive and the energy that will be spent is always minimal all of them were filled because the labour is much and as such no labourer should be spared. All of them were filled because no one is more preferred to the other in the presence of God all services to God and in the house of God are all necessary. All of them were filled because they all need to work maximally in any capacity that they will have to function to promote the kingdom. That you are not a pastor does not mean that you cannot be a chorister and at the same time be the best. *Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples a...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT14* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. It is the desire of God that we receive the Holy Spirit in all His fullness hence when He gave Him to the apostles we were told that they all were filled in other words they were all full of the Holy Spirit and St Paul told us that we must maintain that level of fullness of the Holy Spirit that has been given to us and for us to do so he gave us the secrets of how to do so. *And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ*,  *Eph 5:18-20*. One of the functions of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to make of us a people of praise, praise to God and praise with o...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT14* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have seen that the spirit that God has given to may can be defiled thereby needing cleansing, renewal and restoration because the spirit is Holy and needed to be in that state hence God Himself the owner and giver of the spirit tells us this. "*Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: 'You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy*. *Lev 19:2*. God wants you and i to represent Him and to do that effectively we need to be like Him so that anyone that sees us will see God through us and the character and nature of God is holiness. The spirit that God gave to us is holy  hence it becomes expedience that we be holy and try to remain in that state. One of the way to be holy is to be filled with the holy Spirit so that all that we do will be under the influen...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT13* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have seen that the Holy Spirit was given not because man had no spirit in him because immediately after creating man God had to breath into man the spirit of life and man became a living being. So the life of man was as a result of the spirit breathed into him by God but something happened that brought about the birthing of a new spirit and that we will find out today from king David. *Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me*. *Ps.51.10*. From this text which king David penned down in one of his Psalms we understand that the spirit of man was stained by sin which means that anytime we sin that something happens to our spirit man. If the spirit can be stained it follows that two things were involved or will be involved 1. Cleaning or 2 recreating or recreation. It follow...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT12* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. The other day we talked about the tower of Babel and we said that God scattered their language because of pride because they said let us make a name for ourselves  The word of the Lord made us to understand that the name of the Lord is a strong tower that the righteous runs into it and are safe, this people want to abandon the name of the Lord for their own name. *The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe*. *Prob 18:10*. Now this is not where we are going today, what we shall be looking at today is another dimension of the tower of Babel. Because they spoke one language they decided to remain in one place as against God's command to "fill the earth and subdue it" *Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth...

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *O LORD LIFT ME HIGH*. *Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men*." *Eph 4:8*. If we begin to count our blessings and name them one by one i believe that days, weeks and months will fail us but whether we are able to count it or not we will not fail to acknowledge the fact that God has been so good to us and we return all the glory to Him both now and forever. As we gradually come to the end of the first half of the year i pray for you and with you that wherever your blessings has been tied down before now that the consuming fire that we serve will release His fire over the place or persons where our blessings are tied and cause it to be released to us immediately by the power in the name of Jesus. And i pray that the God that ascended on high will take you higher in life and destiny by the power in the name of Jesus and may anything that wants to bring you down catch fire by the power...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT11* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have been trying to unravel the blessings inherent in being filled with the Holy Spirit and we have said that instead of been in the garden of Eden for ever we are privileged to be with God in heaven as sons not as aliens or visitors Like we Said before God breathed into man the breath of life but man killed  that spirit with sin and man became a dying man but because spirits don't die God has to restore that spirit but this time with a Holy Spirit  In the garden of Eden the spirit was replaced with the spirit of death but in the new testament He can be grieved can be made to be dormant  *And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption*. *Eph 4:30*. From what bro Paul saw in that filling he said that the Holy Spirit is a seal of God upon everyone that ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT10* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Do you remember what happened after creation? The bible said that God breathed into man the breath(spirit) of life and man became a living being but when man sinned he acquired the spirit of death but God has to give man a new spirit which is the Holy Spirit because the first one has become ungodly.. *And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being* *Gen 2:7*. Remember that it was the Spirit of God that God gave man which is Holy in nature was to make man holy and to make man to be like God according to the plan of God in creating man in his image and likeness and after man has corrupted the spirit of God in him God then promised through prophet Ezekiel to give man a new spirit. *I will give you a new heart and put ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT9* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Apart from making us new creation by the reason of the spirit that God has given to us on Pentecost and the power that we received from there, there are so many other things that the spirit and the power that it carries tends to achieve in our lives and one of such is what i want us to discuss today and it is that the spirit makes us sons of God. *For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together*. *Rom 8:15-17*. Now anyhow you look at it either by way of adoption or just "biological"(...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT7* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have seen that divine equipment is for mission hence all not some of them were filled with the Holy Spirit because all has been called, chosen and are about to be sent out. Today we want to visit Uncle Peter to hear his own side of the story about his understanding of the "being filled with the Holy Spirit" *But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.  But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT5* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We have seen how diverse power can be when it comes to operation but all in love to the glory of God and the good of men. God does not give us power to intimidate one another but to spread love in all the nooks and crannies of our society knowing full well that by so doing the message of the kingdom will be spread abroad. God gives us power for various operations for the good of man the glory of Himself. One of the areas of manifesting of power is Power of rulership. *Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt*."  *Gen 41:44*. Another area of the manifestation of power is the area of power to make wealth. It is the will of God that his children prospers through what they do and not by defrauding people, cheatin...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT5* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. We talked about been filled with Holy Spirit as divine equipment for the mission of Christ which is making disciples of all nation by teaching them of the things that pertains to the kingdom in accordance or rather in obedience to the command of their master. It is Said that no one can give what he or she does not have. Jesus has promised his disciples that he will be sending them His own spirit which will come from Him and then told them what the Spirit will be doing in them and through them after His departure. In one of His discussions with them he told that they will they will receive power once the Holy Spirit comes upon them which means that the Holy Spirit will be empowering them for mission because he told that them that the power that the Holy Spirit will give them will make them His witnesses ...

*LET US PRAY* (PRAYER FOR THE WEEK) *SUDDEN BLESSINGS* *And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting*.  *Acts 2:2*. I wish i have the kind of words that I can use to say the kind of thank you that this God that is so good, merciful and kind deserves especially for all the good things that He has been doing for us without pay, merit or qualification. May His name alone be praised both now and forever. I pray for you and with you beloved that the blessings that you have been praying for will locate you suddenly, I means instant manifestation of your blessings by the power in the name of Jesus. I pray for you that is believing God for the fruit of the womb that the God that did it for Hannah and Sarah and even Elizabeth will visit you suddenly and your fruitfulness begins suddenly by the power in the name of Jesus. In a special way i pray for you that is sick, it doesn't matter that name of the sickness...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT4* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Having restored their language they now and can now speak one language and everybody will understand them because this time the language was not to fight God as we said before but to see to it that the message of The kingdom goes every nook and crany of our society. This time everyone heard them because they were speaking one universal language called love. Whenever this language is spoken even the deaf can hear and  understands it and God is love so they were speaking the language of God and everybody hears the language of God. Whenever this language of love is spoken joy is shared and with that joy you can draw water from the well of salvation in other words whenever this language is spoken you can find a word that can transform your life from sinner to saint and from rejected of God to a chosen race,...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT3* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Having filled the apostles with the Holy Spirit He went ahead to give them the ability to speak other tongues and they spoke with authority to as many as were there to listen to them and all of them heard them in their own language. Languages are made for communication and any communication that does not benefit the hearer cannot be said to be a communication and any communication meant to communicate love can be heard by all and sundry. In building the tower of babel the Lord came down to confuse their language because they were trying to use the gift of God to fight the giver of the gift. They said to themselves let us build something that can get to heaven in other words they were telling God that they took can make heaven on their own. They said to themselves "let us make for ourselves" wh...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PT2* And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4. We have seen that to be filled is to give one as much as his or her capacity can take. This kind of fullness means or speaks of abundance of spiritual gifts and this abundance can only come from our relationship with God. This filling has to do with divine equipment for the work of God in various capacities hence we said that this filling are of different capacities. My people will say that no father sends his child to the farm without farming tools otherwise the purpose of the message will not be achieved. In our various capacities each one of us has been filled and made to be so full to the point where no more can be added accepting one chooses to reduce his or her contend in other to add another which of course must not be the same with the original content therefore making one to be adulterated with the...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Bro Luke told us that the apostles were all filled with the Holy Spirit and it was when they were filled that other things followed. He was emphatic on that word "filled" to be filled mean that the container is full of the content with which it was filled. To be filled means that there was no vaccum such that no space was left for other things. To be filled means to put as much as the container can contain and to be filled can also mean to be made full, whether physically or figuratively. When we talk about being filled we are talking about quantity of a substance anything that can be measured. They were all filled but i believe that not not all of them were filled with the same quantity because the gift of God is giving according to capacity not according wishes and according to the vessel that i...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Bro Luke told us that the apostles were all filled with the Holy Spirit and it was when they were filled that other things followed.

*FAITH NUGGET* *YOU TOO CAN RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. Bro Luke told us that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and if they were all filled with the Holy Spirit it follows that you and i can as well be filled with the same Holy Spirit if and only if we do what they did  Remember that before the Holy Spirit came upon them suddenly that they did something which bro Luke did not tell us but we were able to know some of them through what we were told by the same bro Luke earlier and like we have said, for us to receive the Holy Spirit too there are certain things that we must do on addition to the things that we have seen that the apostles did. One of the things that we must do to be filled with the Holy Spirit is to ask the father for the out pour of the Holy Spirit upon our lives. Ask the Father to fill you, and by faith receive that infilling.  *If y...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BOUNDLESS POSSIBILITIES ONLY WITH LOVE* *And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance*. *Acts 2:4*. The Holy Spirit came and filled all the apostles on the day of Pentecost and one will begin to wonder why all? Is it possible that all of them had faith and no one doubted such that no one was left from receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost? The truth of the matter dear friend is that their were all in one accord. *And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them*. *Gen 11:6*. Look at the passage above, it tell us that they have one language which means that they can understand themselves. There is understanding among them as such they can go on to achieve anything that they set out for themselves. The second thing there still under one language is that they...

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *LET MY BLESSINGS LOCATE ME SUDDENLY *. *And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting*.  *Acts 2:2*. What shall we say into the Lord all we have to say is thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord all we have to say is thank you Lord. even it will take us eternity to say thank you Lord we will gladly do that because you deserve all the glory both now and forever. Beloved i pray for you and with you that in this season of the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit that your harvest will begin to look for you in a hurry and that whatever that has been frustrating your harvest from reaching you dies now by the power in the name of Jesus. The anointing for sudden manifestation of blessings fall upon you now and whatever that you have prayed for and seems not to be forthcoming i command them to locate you now in a hurry by the power in the name of your. Everyt...

*FAITH NUGGET* *BE FILLED WITH HOLY SPIRIT* *When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting*.  *Acts 2:1-2*. Bro Luke started this chapter by telling us that there was a day for the Holy Spirit and that when that day came the Holy Spirit also came to meet those who are obedient to the command of their master that told them not to leave Jerusalem. Had anyo of them left the group even if it was for a genuine reason or for anything he or she would have missed it because we are the ones that are supposed to wait for or on God and not God waiting for us. One thing according to bro Luke that characterised the receiption of the Holy Spirit is that they were together in one accord. Bro Luke was very emphatic on their unity because our God is love and one major character of love is unity. Whenever preparation is ripe with good in...

*FAITH NUGGET* *YOU NEED POWER* *But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth*."  *Acts 1:8*. When Jesus was talking to the disciples He was telling them how to take charge and that they need the ability or power to do so but while He was speaking their minds were set on the things of the world so He came out plainly to tell them that what you need is not to rule this world or look for a way to retaliate what the Jews did but you need power not the type that you are thinking about but the type that the Holy Spirit gives. When Jesus talked about this power He was not talking about the power of "do me i do God not go vex" or the power of i can do anything and "nothing go happen" no sir, He was talking of the power to serve in humility without minding who is served, He was talking about the power that will compare one to do all he or she ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *STOP PRESUMPTION* *Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority*.  *Acts 1:6-7* . Jesus was teaching His disciples the importance of being together bringing to their notice that they should expect the coming of the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit will come when they are united because the Holy Spirit is a spirit of love and as such can only dwell where there is love. Unfortunately for the disciples their minds where still on how to rule kingdoms of the earth even after Jesus had spent about forty days still teaching them about the kingdom and reminding them of all that they need to know about the kingdom and how they should wait to receive the Holy Spirit in order to make it to heaven but their mind was still in what they will gain here on earth. Let me quickly ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *UNITED WE STAND* *And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now*."  *Acts 1:4-5*. Having prayed and worked that they may be one,Jesus had to make sure that they are together before he left and still before He left He still warned them to be and remain together because it is on that premise of been together that the blessing will eventually come. *Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing Life forevermore*. *Ps 133:1-3*. King David in the above...

*FAITH NUGGET* *OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE* *And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now*."  *Acts 1:4-5*. It was Jesus Himself that assembled them together and he did not assemble without Him been part of the meeting so He assembled them and was part of them because where two or three are gathered in His name whether he was the one that gathered them or they gathered themselves He will always be there in fulfilment of His word. From the account of bro Luke we can see how Jesus places priority in our gathering and how he did everything in His power to make sure that we are gathered. In His departure prayer He prayed that all may be one and later in this account bro Luke told us that all of them gathered together in one accord ...

*FAITH NUGGET* *OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY* *And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now*."  *Acts 1:4-5*. Do you see the reason why the disciples went back to Jerusalem? They did not go to Jerusalem because they don't have anywhere else to go but they went back to Jerusalem because the master asked them to do so because obedience they say is better than sacrifice. So when you hear that they were together in one accord it is as a result of the finished work of Jesus on the disciples. Bro Luke told us that he taught them many things about the kingdom and from what we are seeing the kingdom starts with how we live our lives here on earth no wonder Jesus taught them to pray thus "your will be done on earth as it is on heaven". So...
