Let Us Pray Fellowship

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (DAILY DEVOTIONAL) *HAVE YOU ALLOWED JESUS TO INCREASE IN YOUR LIFE?* *Happy Sunday beloved* *He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so. He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all*.  *Jn 3:30-31*. Life is all about learning and the greatest teachers to learn from are those that did what you want to do and succeeded. Uncle John the Baptist said that in his life that Jesus must increase why he decreases and the good news is that he never regretted that action and as a matter of fact that seems to be the best decision of his life. Beloved, the greatest decision you will ever make in life is to choose wisely who gets the first place in your life. Many of us say we love Jesus, but our calendar, our conversations, our actions and our choices tell a diffe...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ABOVE ONLY* *Continue to be faithful* *OPEN SECRET* your seat and your blessings awaits you tomorrow try not to miss it *He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all*. *Jn 3:30-31*. Jesus wants you and i to be above only hence he wants us to have His own nature so that we can be above all like Him. Above powers, above principalities and above rulers of this dark age so let us get out of darkness so that we can become rulers over them I strongly believe that the reason why the devil is making us to hide from the light is because he doesn't want us to be above him but thanks be to God for this secret and so let us come out of darkness so that the light of Christ can shine to us, an...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *OUTSIDE CHRIST IS CRISES* *He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all*. *Jn 3:30-31*. The best thing that can happen to anyone is o own up and accept responsibility and take necessary action when and where necessary. Many of us according to Jesus refuse to accept the light because our deeds are evil but here we see Uncle John the Baptist and Mr Nicodemus embracing the light and making a public show of it. In life there are three people you don't hide anything from, the first one is your doctor because if you do you will die in your sickness and the second one is your lawyer because if you do you will loose your case and the third one is your father because he alone can stand for you in any situation. ...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *IT TAKES HUMILITY TO SERVE GOD* *Continue to be great* *He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all*. *Jn 3:30-31*. This chapter seem to be the chapter of humility, we have been the simplicity and humility of Mr Nicodemus and now we are seeing Uncle John the Baptist still showing the highest form of humility, "Jesus must increase and i must decrease" since i was born this is the only place I have seen this kind of humility. Imagine Mr Nicodemus laying down everything to come to Jesus in the night after all that he has acquired in life and here we have Uncle John the Baptist that baptised Jesus still wishing and praying and making a public statement about it that Jesus needs to be bigge...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *DO YOU BELIEVE?* *Go and conquer* *And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil*.  *John.3.19*. We saw before that God does not introduce Himself to anyone but allows His works to do that for Him and that is what we saw in the life or the discussion between Jesus and Mr Nicodemus, instead of Jesus telling him that He is the light he had to allow Mr Nicodemus to evaluate things by himself ans make his own judgement. From the expo that Jesus was giving to Mr Nicodemus and by extension you and i it looks like God is begging us to repent if not how would He have disclosed everything on how we are to be saved without reservation  So as not to be disadvantaged i want us o take a look at what it means to believe because that word believe seems to be a compl...

*LET US PRAY* *(THANKSGIVING FOR THE MONTH)*. *WHO IS LIKE YOU?*. *To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever*.  *Ps.30.12*. Who is like unto the 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 ohhh Lord 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 who is like unto thee🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 ohh Lord 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 among the gods 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 who is like thee 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 glorious in holiness 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 fearful in praises 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 doing wonders alleluia 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 The God that is in a class of His own, incomparable and ever dependable to you alone be all the glory both now and forever.

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *NOTHING IS HIDDEN IN LIGHT* *And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil*.  *John.3.19*. Jesus told Mr Nicodemus that the light has already come so if you are waiting or expecting the light you may wait till eternity because the light is already here and the only reason why you have not seen the light or have not identified with the light is that you prefer darkness to the light. There are many things that we know about light which makes it necessary that we look into it because we are either on the path of light or that of darkness so it is important that we know where we are and the benefits that are there. The light shows the way, when you are walking by the light the path is always clear to you, you don't stumble because you are seeing where you are going and it ...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU NEED THE LIGHT* *GENTLE REMINDER, you are specially invited to his feast and feet tomorrow, don't miss out* *Regret will never be your companion* *And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil*.  *John.3.19*. I want to believe that Mr Nicodemus visiting Jesus at night was well calculated and divinely arranged because the discussion that he had with Jesus wouldn't have happened had he not made that visit by night because of so many engagements on the part of Jesus which would have cut the story short. In this verse He told Mr Nicodemus why men refuse to accept the gift that God has already given to them, the mission of the gift is to pull people out of darkness but still men prefer to remain the way they were(state of sin) which Jesus refers to as darkn...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *OUR CHOICE, OUR JUDGE* *Continue to prosper* "*He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God*.  *John.3.18*  Jesus did not cone to condemn the world but that through Him whosoever that believes will not be condemn. The fact here remains that Jesus has no business condemning anyone but the condemnation already exist even before the arrival of Jesus so Jesus coming is to pull all of us out that already existing condemnation so you not believing is choosing to remain in that condemnation that is in existence. The condemnation is the consequence of the sins of our father(Adam) and Jesus being the second Adam came to destroy the consequences of the sin of the first Adam how did he do that by dying on the cross for us for the condemnat...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED* *Keep winning* *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Having clarified that the gift is for "whosoever" Jesus went further to make it clear that the gift was a channel that is to say that the gift was given for the salvation of all. What a great gift because it means that without this gift there will won't be anything like salvation. Jesus said "through" Him which means that the gift is a channel without which nothing can be achieved or obtained and without which nothing can proceed to the next level. This gift according to Jesus is a connector that connects divinity to humanity, it is the chanel through which divinity can have an intercourse with humanity It is a pull that heaven is using to pull people out of bondage to Him...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED* *Keep succeeding* *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Like we said the other time that the God that created you without your input will not save you without your cooperation because of that we want to take a look at why Jesus had o use the word "whosoever" because the choice of language matters in public speaking. If we take a critical look at the word "whosoever" we will see that the word "Whosoever" means "am open invitation" which anybody can answer from anywhere and in other words God did not give it to a particular people or persons but to all. That been said, it follows then that the word "Whosoever" does not have room for exception. No one is disqualified and no one can be disqualified acce...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT*? *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Having told us that the gift of God is for "whosoever" it became necessary that it is explained so that nobody will accuse God of sending His son to the world so that the world would be condemned or sending His son to a particular set of people and not all peoples. In the words of Jesus, God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world but that through him the world might be saved so whosoever that chooses to be saved made the choice and whosoever that refuses to accept condemns himself and not God condemning the person.. I believe that Jesus chose to make this explanation so that nobody will say that the gift was for a particular race or tribe or people the gift is for all but...

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *DIVINE ASSIGNMENT*. *But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!"

Anyone pursuing you without a cause especially those that you have one good to ...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LOVE SO CHEAP BUT SO PRECIOUS* *Continue to enjoy showers of blessing* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  We have heard Jesus say to Mr Nicodemus that the love of God is for "whosoever* meaning that even if it is for everybody that there are still some people that will still reject the gift out of their own making and that anybody that makes up his or her mind to receive the gift no matter the colour, race or religion will be given the gift. In life every discission is a choice and even not making a choice is a choice also and whatever choice or choices that we are making in life has its own consequences, sometimes we are exposed to the consequence before the action or actions and sometimes too the consequences are hidden from us until after ...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT*? *Your rising will not know limitations* *GENTLE REMINDER tomorrow is Sunday please try to be in His presence as your present waits you* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  We have looked at how much God loved you and i and we have said that there is no condition that is attached to that love and that it is simply in the nature of God to love and that had it not be in the nature of God to love that there is no way man would have been able to merit or be qualified for that kind of love. We have been made to understand that the moment God finished showing man how much He loved him He went ahead to tell man what he must do to embrace this love. You and i know that until a gift is received that the intentio...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *GOD LOVED US WITHOUT ASKING OF ANYTHING FROM US* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  Jesus started this verse by telling Mr Nicodemus how much God loved you and i, He told him that "for God so loved the world" meaning that the love is so massive that God did not wait for man to love Him first or wait for what man will bring to the table before loving him, He told him that the love that God has for man is so unquantifiable. This kind of love is not such that man can pay for or reciprocate because it is so deep, from the dept of God's heart, it is not what man deserve and this love is so pronounced that no man can ever deny it for instance the kingdom of God that we are talking about is a place that God Himself has already prepared for man. No effort or cont...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LOVE SO EXPENSIVE* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  Having told Mr Nicodemus and by extension you and i why God told us that we should to be born again Jesus then went ahead to tell Mr Nicodemus why God did what He did and He called it Love and this kind of love is not the kind of love that we profess where we love today and hate tomorrow where we love only when it is convenient or only when we have nothing to loose and all to gain. Wait a minute! Having told us that it takes to be born again to enter the kingdom of God why did God have to go all out again to give us not one of his sons but His one and only begotten son. What has giving us His son have to do with us gaining salvation? Wouldn't He have said you are all saved and it will be so? ...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BE BORN OF GOD* *That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit*.  *John.3.6*  Having told Mr Nicodemus that he needed to be born again, Mr Nicodemus went ahead to asked Jesus why he needed to be born again and Jesus told him that there is a kingdom after now and that he belonged to that kingdom and that the owner of the kingdom is God and that God demands that we cannot enter the kingdom until we become his sons and daughters by been born again. Having said that, he went ahead to tell Mr Nicodemus that there are two types of births. The physical birth and the spiritual birth and what everybody has is the physical birth and nobody can enter the kingdom of God until he or she goes through second birth which is to be born again. The good news about the second birth is that it is from God Himself and the requirem...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU BELONG TO A KINGDOM* *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* Jesus told Mr Nicodemus that there is kingdom which he Mr Nicodemus belong to but that he cannot enter accept he be born again and for Jesus to tell him about that kingdom it means that Jesus wants him to claim what is rightly his but he needs to know how to enter it and to know about the kingdom. One thing is to belong to a place and another thing is to know the place and no matter how much you know about the place if you don't have the access code or the key to the door to the place you may not enter at the end of the day and for someone to come to tell tell you about the place it means that the person loves you and that the person knows what you don't know. Now Jesus did not just come to tell u...

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *THAT BURIAL WILL NOT HOLD*. *Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it*.  *Isa.28.18*  You deserve a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 you deserve a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 father you deserve a very big thank 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 thank you my Lord.

Beloved i pray for you and with you that no matter the covenant that you entered or was entered on your behalf with the spirit of death and no matter how much you desire to fulfill that convenant by the power of the resurrected Christ i override that convenant and cancel their execution by the power in the...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *WHY CHILDREN?* *Your children are blessed* *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 you Mr Innocent for that wonderful question which you asked about baptising children since Jesus said that "unless a man" and not children. Thank you for acting like Mr Nicodemus who was asking to know and not to argue unnecessarily. It is my pleasure to give you the answer to your question. First of all sir, I know that you will agree with me that what Jesus mentioned was men and not women so i put it to you that the bible most times use the word "men" to refer to the entire human race. The word men is for both men, women and children. It is only on few occasions that the bible told us that women and children were not mentioned. *And those who ate were ab...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *PASSING THROUGH WATER IS A NECESSITY* *God is using you to show his goodness* *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* Having received His baptism from Uncle John, we saw how Jesus continued to baptise through His disciples to teach them what to do and after rising from the dead He officially commissioned them to go on baptising as many as possible that believed. *Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it*. *Col.2.15*  Having destroy the power of sin and death he then went ahead to commanded His disciples to go all the way to baptise people and they went all out to do what their master have tasked them to do making it as the Christian rite of initiation and has since become a seal that makes one a...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE WITNESSES* *You shall live and not die* *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 saw that immediately Jesus was baptised that something happened and that is 1 the heavens opened 2 the father spoke and 3 the spirit came and i asked bro John why this three occurrences and he told me that the three came to bear witness because for it to be authentic there must be a witness  *And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one*. *1John.5.8*  The three had to bear witness to show that by baptism that you have been adopted as a son or a daughter of God and not an abducted child of God. You needed to be adopted to make your sonship or daughter hood legal so that the devil will not bring any ch...

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HE LIVED BY EXAMPLE* *You are more than a conqueror* *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* Jesus was called a Rabbi because he was a teacher and not just a teacher but one that came from God and so as a good teacher that He is, He taught both theoretical and practical by living it out and when He said that a man must be born again by water and Spirit he exemplified it by going through water Himself. It was not necessary that Jesus should go through baptism but He told Uncle John to leave it that way because it was necessary not for his sake but for the sake of those following Him, He did it so that it will serve as an example for us to know how important it to be baptised and He did it to show us that it was so important in the economy of salvation. Havi...
