YOU NEED THE SPIRIT

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU NEED THE SPIRIT* *Spirit of favour is upon you* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5*  We said previously that life always pass through water and we said that since man came through water that man must be born again through water hence the bible told us to be born again by water and by the spirit. Water and spirit always walk hand in hand. Throughout the nine months of man's stay in the womb he was surrounded by water because let us take a look at water and the spirit and how it affects man, we are told that immediately God started creation that the darkness came to interrupt it and all of a sudden the spirit of God hovered over to destroy the darkness and there was water. *The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. ...

UNBELIEVABLE TURNAROUND

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *UNBELIEVABLE TURNAROUND*.. *The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me*."  *John.5.7*  All the glory must be to the Lord,, ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ for He is worthy of our praise ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ, no man on earth should give glory to himself ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ , All the glory must be to the Lord,,๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ Indeed we would have given you more than all the glory and honour if we were to have anything more than that and so Lord we give you all the glory, praise honour and adoration both now and forever and ever. Beloved i pray for you and with you that in this first week of this glorious month that the Lord will send you angelic helpers that will not just turn your destiny around for good but that will take you out of where you are right now to where you never expecte...

HOW?

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HOW?* *Continue to enjoy showers of blessing* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5*  Thank God for the wisdom and humility of Mr Nicodemus, he knew that the best time to have qualities with Jesus was in the night and so he went in the night and took his time to ask questions that will better his life and give him a better understanding about what he has found out. Having told him that he must be born again Mr Nicodemus did not begin to question Jesus like a Pharisees looking for what to use to discredit the person of Jesus but went ahead to ask him about the "how" because with man it seems very impossible.amd Jesus had to tell him how he needs to go about it. In mathematics there is what is called the "Almighty formula" when it comes ...

AUGUST VISITOR

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE MONTH)*. *AUGUST VISITOR* (.*CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY NEW MONTH BELOVED*) *A GENTLE REMINDER* *Do you need a touch from on high? Get in touch with God tomorrow. Your seat is waiting* *He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood at a little distance from him. He ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the ground*  *Gen.18.2*  We give you all the glory, ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ we give you all the honour ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ, we give you all the glory๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ , we give you honour ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ Indeed we would have given you more than all the glory and honour if we were to have anything more than that and so Lord we give you all the glory, praise honour and adoration both now and forever and ever by the power in the name of Jesus. Beloved, as i congratulate you and thank God with you for you and for making it o this month i pray for you and with you that in this mo...

JEHOVAH THE DOER

*LET US PRAY* *(THANKSGIVING FOR THE MONTH)*. *JEHOVAH THE DOER*. *He asked life from You, and You gave it to him Length of days forever and ever*. *Ps 21:4*. We are grateful oh Lord ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ, we are grateful oh Lord our God, for all you have done for us,๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽต, ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ, we are grateful ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽต, ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ, we are grateful oh Lord.

AS it has pleased the Lord to give us the assignment of counting our blessings and we have been counting without knowing when it will end because it will end in eternity may your name Lord be glorified for this wonderfu...

YOU WERE ADOPTED NOT ABDUCTED

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU WERE ADOPTED NOT ABDUCTED* *The hand of God is touching you for good now* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* Remember that we talked about been born as a process of bringing about a new birth or a new life and we also said that it does not in anyway mean that the life we had before then has expired but that we needed to start afresh because the life we had has been tampered with sin and God is interested in restoring us by giving us a new life. Let me put it this way so that you can understand what we mean by being born again anytime we talk about being born again. The original plan of God is to give man life through man through the process...

YOU TOO CAN BE BORN AGAIN

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU TOO CAN BE BORN AGAIN* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* When we talk about being born again we are actually saying that we have to surrender to God to give us his kind of life, the kind of life that He our God wants us to live, that kind of live that pleases Him and the kind of life that gives us a new identity, this kind of life may not change our physical outlook but it changes our being. When talk about been born again we are saying that something tampered with our original state and that it needs o be corrected and that the only way it can be done correctly is to allow God the giver of life to correct it because it takes only the manufacturer of a...

DESIRE IT, GOD WILL BRING IT TO PASS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *DESIRE IT, GOD WILL BRING IT TO PASS* *Keep being a goal getter* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* Bro Paul speaking to the Ephesians church told them that God can do abundantly above all that we can ever think of or imagine meaning that even our thoughts can never be hidden from God and that is exactly what happened between Jesus and Mr Nicodemus. Mr Nicodemus came to Jesus to see whether what they found out about Jesus whether it is real or they were deceived by their findings. Mr Nicodemus tried to move from theory to practical because it is the way to learn because if your mind can carry it your hand will have it, yes, just take a look at ...

YOUR SEASON OF FLOURISHING HAS COME

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *YOUR SEASON OF FLOURISHING HAS COME* *The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible]*.  *Ps.92.12(AMP)* What a mighty God we serve ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ what a mighty God we serve ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ heaven and earth adore Him, Angels bow before Him ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ what a mighty God we serve. Indeed what a great God we serve. The father of fathers and the greatest provider of all in need to Him alone be all the glory both now and forever by the power in the name of Jesus. I will like to start my prayer today by prophesying upon the life of somebody with an Amen that your season of flourishing is now by the power in the name of Jesus from now and going forward that the God of glory will cause you to flourish like the palm tree, you will flourish o...

DESIRE IT, GOD WILL BRING IT TO PASS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *DESIRE IT, GOD WILL BRING IT TO PASS* *You are the next to be announced by heaven* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* Jesus speaking to Mr Nicodemus told him that unless a man be born again that he cannot see the kingdom of God. Before we proceed to take a look at what it means to be born again let us take a look at what Jesus told Mr Nicodemus “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  Now let's take a look t the response of Jesus to Mr Nicodemus quest, Mr Nicodemus came to Jesus and called him Rabbi and told him that he and his colleagues have investigated him and that they have found out...

ARE YOU A MAN

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ARE YOU A MAN* *You are a terror to the kingdom of darkness* *GENTLE REMINDER tomorrow is Sunday so be in His presence for His present* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* The law in which Mr Nicodemus was a teacher and am authority speaks of religion and multiple rules which births living in the bondage of fear but Jesus gives a message of hope and freedom. A massage of salvation to all without discrimination and one of the ways to get that salvation is by been born again. Mr Nicodemus saw what his ministry and religiosity and theology could not produce because Jesus did not come to give rules but life, he did not come to establish...

ARE YOU A MAN

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ARE YOU A MAN* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* Come to think of it how can a man be born again? Don't you think that it will be better for a child to be born again than for a man o be born again? A grown man which womb can he enter and how and which kind of womb can contain him and why will he need o be born again? Is it that his original birth has expired? Let me take our attention back to Genesis when God created man. We were told that male and female He created them but his original intention was for Him to create a man and a woman but He ended up in creating a male and a female. *Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our li...

SEEK UNDERSTANDING

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SEEK UNDERSTANDING* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* Having praised Jesus for what he did and having told him that they know that God was with Him i was expecting Jesus to be excited and be proud of Himself of what he was told but he did not do that instead he went straight to tell Mr Nicodemus what he must do to be saved. Jesus was not interested in Mr Nicodemus praise but interested in the salvation of the soul of Mr Nicodemus. I was expecting Jesus to say "well i discussed with God in my room just now and i know what he told me" he did not do that instead he went ahead to tell him what he must do to be saved. Having told him that man...

SEEK TO KNOW

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SEEK TO KNOW* *Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born*?” *Jn 3:3-4* There are so many questions that are necessary in life especially questions that are meant to bring understanding about how we are to move forward in life and destiny and specially questions that re meant for our salvation and we cannot achieve it if our hearts are not open to accept and receive the explanation. One thing about truth is that truth is truth anywhere irrespective of how it is said or who is saying it. Jesus on his own part is one that loves everybody but does not pet the truth to because of anybody irrespective of class or social status. When Mr Nicodemus came to him one would have...

WHERE WERE OTHERS?

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *WHERE WERE OTHERS?* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* Mr Nicodemus came to Jesus and said “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” he said "we know" which means that he was not alone and definitely not the only one that choose to examine the life of Jesus but my question today is "where are others" It is true that we all see things from different perspectives but from the statement of Mr Nicodemus they all concluded that Jesus must have come from God but he was the only one that took a step further to know whether their conclusion was right or wrong. ...

SEEK GOD EARLY

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *You will not fail in life* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* We have seen that what Mr Nicodemus as a teacher of the law read in the prophecy of Isaiah made him to seek Jesus early as such he did not wait till the following day to the point that even when it took him to the point of doing it in the night he never bothered and in addition to what prophet Isaiah said prophets Jeremiah also added the "how" to the seeking. *And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart*. *Jer.29.13*. Apart from seeking the Lord early like prophet Isaiah said prophet Jeremiah is here telling you and i that God is...

ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE* *You will make it in life* *GENTLE REMINDER, tomorrow is Sunday so don't forget to be in His presence as His present awaits you* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* One of the things that i like about ordinations in the Catholic Church is that during ordinations, the Bishop brings a bible, gives it to the priest been ordained and said to him, this is the word of God, read the word of God, believe what you read, preach what you believe, and then practice what you preach. Mr Nicodemus having known the word of God, read it severally i believe, preached it, and then went to Jesus to proof that he didn't just ...

SEEK THE LORD NOW

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SEEK THE LORD NOW* *You are a winner* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* Mr Nicodemus being a teacher of the law and a pharisee must have read from the prophet Isaiah that we should seek the Lord while he can still be found in other words there is a window that has been open for anyone to seek the Lord and this window is not going to remain permanently open, it is time bound and only those that can utilise the opportunity will be glad they did. *Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And ...

BE A BEREAN CHRISTIAN

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BE A BEREAN CHRISTIAN* *Relax, God is in control* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* There are many things to learn from the life of Mr Nicodemus, i believe that even as a teacher of the law Mr Nicodemus was acting like the Barean Christians who after hearing the word of God will always make research to know whether it is the truth and in line with their Christian faith or not. Barean Christians will always come to church in Acts of the apostles, hear the word of God with openness and eagerness to serve God better and then go home to check whether they are being deceived or not because they don't want anything to cut them off from the love ...

SEEK THE TRUTH ALWAYS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SEEK THE TRUTH ALWAYS* *You shall not die* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* Education they say is a continuum meaning that education is a life long process, the more we live the more we learn, to fail to learn while we live is to die while living, acquiring knowledge does not stop after graduating, but continues through everyday experiences, work, and desire for personal growth. Mr Nicodemus was a learned man, a teacher of the law but still wanted to learn more because he knows that the knowledge of God cannot be exhausted, with that he became humble enough to submit himself to a higher authority according to his findings and with a determine...

BREAK UP

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BREAK UP*. *It is not over until you win* *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* We have seen that Mr Nicodemus conquered many things before coming to Jesus and when he came to Jesus he was schooled even as he was a teacher of the law because he has succeeded in conquering himself little wonder the bible told us to break up our fallow ground and advises us not to sow among thorns, *For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: "Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns*. *Jer.4.3*  Because Mr Nicodemus conquered himself Jesus had to sow on a fertile ground of his heart not on a stubborn heart that has not been ...

YOU WILL GO FAR

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *YOU WILL GO FAR*. *So Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me*."  *Ex.8.28*  Baba you do well ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ(3)You do well ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ Baba you do well ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ (3) You do well๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ Baba You do well ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ (3)Baba You do well ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ (4) You do well๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽต ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŽถ Father days will fail us to count your blessings upon our lives and so we give you all the glory for all that you have done for us and will continue to do in Jesus name we pray ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™.  Beloved i pray for you and with you that no matter how far you have gone in life that you must go further and for those been hindered in live i prophecy that you must go far in life by the power in the name of Jesus you must go far in life and destiny in the name of Je...

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME*. *There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him*."  *John.3.1 -2* We looked at the meaning of the name Nicodemus and we found out what his name is or rather the meaning of his name and we saw how his name influenced his actions and today we will continue to critically examine Mr Nicodemus because he and his team also examined Jesus. Having conquered himself Mr Nicodemus has left us an example to follow that we took need to conquer ourselves not minding our positions in the society or in the church, he taught us that we cannot conquer the world if we cannot conquer ourselves as charity they say begins at home. One can only be a true victor of the peop...
