What’s up People of God! It has been a minute or wait let me say it has been a while. It is with great pleasure that I write to you today.😊

This is my first post this year so a very Happy New Year to you my readers, subscribers, and followers for reading my articles, engaging with the same, and sharing the posts as well. This year will mark a major turning point to success for you in Jesus Mighty Name,(Amen).

Today, God is reminding you through this post that you are blessed of the Lord. Before we proceed, I will like us to define the word ‘blessed’. In my own point of view, a man who is “blessed” enjoys divine grace, mercy and goodness of the Lord. A man who is blessed need not announce it that he is blessed. His life shows it, his career indicates it, his marriage displays it, his children see it, whatever the man engages in, is favoured and graced.

Following on, let’s discover who the Bible describes as blessed, the scripture says in Psalms 1:1-3, verse 1 defines a blessed man as one who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, and verse 3 defines a blessed man as a man who is like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth fruits in his season, his leaves shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. This preceding paragraph says it all that a blessed man is one in which whatsoever he doeth prospers.

There are 11 verses in the Bible that talk about a man who is blessed. The verses also indicate some principles and criteria before one can be considered blessed of the Lord. I will like to state the verses one after the other💥

1. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2. Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3. Psalms 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
4. Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
5. Psalms 94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
6. Psalms 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
7. Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
8. Isaiah 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
9. Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
10. Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
11. James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

This article is not complete without me indicating that there are several blessings that God has for us in the scriptures that does not begin with “blessed is the man” for example, Psalms 121: 8 states that “The Lord shall preserve they going out and they coming in from this time forth and even for evermore. Also my dear friends💫, you should check out Deuteronmomy 28: 1- 13. I will love to list it out as well: 

1. Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth
2. Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3. Deuteronomy 28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4. Deuteronomy 28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5. Deuteronomy 28:5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6. Deuteronomy 28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7. Deuteronomy 28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8. Deuteronomy 28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9. Deuteronomy 28:9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10. Deuteronomy 28:10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11. Deuteronomy 28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12. Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13. Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

There is a prerequisite that we need to adhere to before receiving God’s blessings as stated in Deuteronomy 28: 1- 13 and that is harkening diligently to the voice of the Lord and observing to do all he has said 💯. However if a man does not adhere, then he is calling for the opposite of blessings. May the Lord help us to observe his commandments so we can enjoy all this blessings he has in store in Jesus Mighty Name, (Amen).

Please if you are not one of God’s children, you are actually not pleasing God and you need to be saved so you can enjoy the blessings he has in store for his children. Please close your eyes and ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart, forgive you all your sins, wash you in his blood and make you his child forever. Viola, you are saved. Halleluyah😊🙏🏼💃. Kindly send us a message we want to pray with you and advise you on how to attain spiritual growth. In the meantime, please join a Bible-believing Church. Congratulations,😊 God bless you🙏🏼.

Keep being the blessed of the Lord, and let us know other blessings of the Lord not captured in this article, love and celebrate you all🥳. Do well to share, let us bless lives together.🙏🏼

Thank you and do have a blessing filled week🎉

Hello dear friends! I hope you are all doing well😊

Today’s topic is “The God that Heals.”

We serve an unwavering God who resides in the presence of His people. His love for His children, those who belong to Him, cannot be emphasized enough.

After the crucifixion of His only Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross at Calvary for all of humanity, those who believe in Jesus as Lord gain access to His remarkable power and greatness. One of these incredible aspects is Healing. God is extraordinarily powerful; He is the ultimate healer. The grace of God is more than enough for those who believe in His capacity to heal. One way to experience His healing inheritance is through the blood of Jesus. As Revelation 12:11 states, “And they overcame by the blood of the Lamb…”

Moreover, through the blood of Jesus, you can conquer any sickness. The Bible assures us that we are not just conquerors but more than conquerors through the love of God. God cares deeply for you and won’t leave you in sickness. Romans 8:37 declares, “Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

If you find yourself in ill health, please seek God’s mercy for your soul and make effective use of the blood of Jesus. Apply the blood of Jesus to every area of your life where you lack health. Ask Jesus for complete healing through His blood.

Pray with unwavering faith, believing that it’s already done. Remember the words of 1 John 5:14: “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us.”

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your healing.

May you all have a peaceful and blessed week ahead. Shalom, beautiful people! 😊💞

Hi there😁, trust you have been doing well. 🤗🤗.

It is so good to write to you today. The Lord has been so wonderful. You are welcome to a new month, the month of September.

Following thereto, today on the blog, the Lord is encouraging us to engage in thanksgiving💃😊🙏.

The Bible says in the book of Psalms 103: 1-4;
“Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name”.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits”.
” Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”
“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.

The verses above serve as a clear example of the daily blessings bestowed upon us by God. Friends, the fact that you are alive and reading this blog post is a testament to God’s goodness. His choice to redeem your life from destruction and crown you with His tender mercies should inspire you to express gratitude to this Almighty God.

My Pastor said during the last service that the secret of multiple wonders is thanksgiving. Friends, what God cannot do does not exist, you need to know that God loves you and he is going to perfect all that concerns you. The Bible says in Psalm 138:8a: “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord endures forever”.

Moreover, irrespective of the challenges you may be facing, remember to offer your gratitude. As long as you stand as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, your path shall be filled with blessings. The book of Isaiah 3:10 confirms the above, assuring you that it will indeed be well with you, my friends.

It’s important to recognize that when you thank God, He will multiply your reasons for giving thanks. You’ll experience abundance, joy, peace, fruitfulness, and celebrations in all aspects of your life, as God will lead you to constant triumph and the display of His glory, as stated in 2 Corinthians 2:14.

It’s true that being in right standing with God through faith in Christ Jesus is essential for Him to hear and recognize our prayers. If you haven’t already, it’s important to confess your sins to Jesus, invite Him into your life, ask Him to record your name in the book of life, and to grant you grace to reign with Him in eternity. This is a fundamental step in establishing a relationship with God.

Continue to celebrate and give thanks to God! Wishing you and your friends a fantastic week filled with joy and gratitude. 😊🙌💃💃💃

Hi there🤗. Welcome to a new episode on the blog. Today’s topic is the Grace of God. “Grace” means God’s unmerited favour”. The Bible says, Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” despite our sins and shortcomings, God has shown us grace

Another verse makes us understand that Jesus is the grace of God that has appeared to all men as seen in the book of Titus 2:11 – “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.”

As believers, we need to know that we have Jesus, he is our grace to be perfect in our weaknesses or limitations we face. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

As Believers, we need to effectively utilize the grace of God (Our Lord Jesus). We need to know that in him we have grace, hence we have strength in our weakness by His grace.

Kindly like, comment, and share. Have a splendid week ahead.😊 Stay blessed🙏

🤗 Greetings and welcome to another episode on the blog!

I hope you know that it’s not a coincidence that you are reading this post. It’s God’s mercy that has made it fortunate for you to stumble on the blog.

Mercy of God in a lay man’s description means the compassion of God.

The Bible says in Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) – “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. You and I are alive, reading this write-up and thereafter going about our normal days because of God’s compassion and mercy.

Also, consider the morning sunrise . Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) says, God’s mercies are renewed every morning. This daily reminder of His compassion reassures us of His unwavering love.

Amidst the difficulties in my country, Nigeria’s economy, where the cost of living has soared, we must acknowledge the profound impact of God’s mercy. His benevolence has shielded us from even greater hardships and has granted us the blessing of being alive to experience this day.

Looking at the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32). Though the son squandered his inheritance and hit rock bottom, his father’s compassionate heart welcomed him back with open arms, reflecting God’s merciful nature towards us.

However, as believers, our mindset should be based on receiving the mercy of God in every area of our lives.

The ultimate demonstration of God’s mercy is found in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 (NIV) reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, providing a path to salvation and eternal life.💞

Through the verses below, we will see how God showed mercy on man in the Bible.

One remarkable example of God’s mercy is found in the story of Jonah. Despite Jonah’s disobedience, when he was swallowed by a great fish, God showed him mercy and gave him a second chance to fulfill his mission (Jonah 2:1-10).

Romans 5:8 (NIV) – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

In the early church, the Apostle Paul experienced God’s mercy in a profound way. He was once a persecutor of Christians, but God’s mercy transformed him into a devoted follower and a passionate advocate for Christ (1 Timothy 1:12-16).

God’s mercy was displayed through the sacrificial death of Jesus, providing a way for reconciliation between God.

As believers, we are called to emulate God’s mercy by showing kindness to others.

As God showed mercy as stated above, it’s our responsibility as believers to reach out to other men so tell them about the mercy of God.

Imagine and picture a storm-tossed sea. When the disciples were afraid for their lives, Jesus displayed His mercy by calming the storm and reassuring them of His presence (Mark 4:35-41).

We can obtain God’s mercy by acknowledging that you are nothing without His mercy.

In a world full of division and animosity, God’s mercy calls us to forgive and reconcile with others. Joseph’s forgiveness towards his brothers, who had betrayed him, is a powerful example of this (Genesis 50:15-21).

It is because of God’s rich mercy that we are saved and called his own not by our works but his grace as seen in Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV) – “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”

The story of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14) reminds us that those who humbly seek God’s mercy with contrite hearts are justified.

Thank you for reading, friends! May you experience God’s abundant mercy this week. God bless you abundantly! 🙏

Hi😊 welcome to another episode of our blog, “Joy of the Lord”! Have you ever wondered why, despite being born again, you sometimes feel downhearted? Today, we’ll explore the reasons behind this and discover how to experience the joy of the Lord.

1. Lack of understanding: One reason for lack of joy is a limited understanding of God’s love, grace, and promises. Growing in knowledge and understanding of God’s Word cultivates a greater sense of joy in the Lord.

2. Surrendering to God: Fellowship with the Lord is crucial. By attending a Bible-believing church and learning about God, we dwell in His presence, equipping us with joy. Psalm 16:11 (KJV) states, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

3. Choosing to express joy: We can choose to experience the joy of the Lord because of His presence within us. Habakkuk 3:18 (KJV) states, “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” We can intentionally choose to rejoice and find joy in our salvation.

The joy of the Lord acts as a weapon. In Nehemiah 8:10, Nehemiah and the Levites encouraged the people of Jerusalem not to grieve over their sins but to find their strength in the joy of the Lord. This joy provides spiritual and emotional strength to endure life’s challenges.

Let’s focus on the joy of our salvation. By finding joy and delight in God’s presence and promises, we gain the spiritual and emotional strength to persevere and triumph.

It’s crucial to understand that the joy of the Lord comes from having a relationship with Him, trusting in His salvation, allowing the Holy Spirit lead us and experiencing His presence in our lives.

In conclusion, let’s embrace what David said in Psalm 16:11: “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

May we continually renew our relationship with God and enjoy His presence, thereby experiencing the joy of the Lord every day.

Thank you!
Have a beautiful and blessed week ahead filled with the joy and peace of the Lord. 🌟😊🙏🌸.

GOD’s FAVOUR

Hi,😊. Hope you are doing well. Welcome to a new topic on the blog🥁💃, titled, “God’s favour”

Favour according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary means  “a thing that you do to help somebody. “Favour also means “approval or support for somebody/something“. Favour in our context spiritually means “God’s approval or support for somebody/ something“.

A wonderful testimony was shared in my Church about a man who faced financial difficulties but had a strong desire to travel to the United States. Despite his struggles, he managed to gather the necessary funds and went to the Embassy for a visa. Surprisingly, the interviewer asked him a simple question about his favorite football club. To avoid any conflict, he chose not to mention a club that the interviewer might not support and so he simply smiled without responding.

Astonishingly, his visa application was approved, and he was granted a longer stay than he had even requested. Prior to his application, he had heard about people being repeatedly denied visas. This man had no connections, yet the unmistakable presence of God’s favour was evident in his life. It was his first time applying for a U.S. visa, and not only was he granted one, but it was for a longer duration than he had anticipated. Undoubtedly, this man experienced the extraordinary favour of God. Favour of God means being approved by God, being blessed by God, and being accepted by God.

In the Bible, Noah is an example of a person who found favour in the eyes of God. When faced with the catastrophic flood, Noah and his household were saved from perishing because of God’s favour upon him. God specifically instructed Noah to build an ark, not only for himself and his family but also for a remnant of all living creatures.Through Noah’s faithful obedience to God’s command, he and his loved ones were protected and preserved from the devastating flood. It is important to note that the Bible records in Genesis 6:8, that Noah was a righteous and obedient man who maintained a blameless relationship with God. It was through these qualities that Noah found favour in God’s eyes.

Furthermore, the favour of God is inseparable from His presence. When a man is favoured by God, he will consistently experience prosperity in all his endeavors, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in. In the Bible, other persons who enjoyed God’s favour are Esther and Joseph. The Bible records in Esther 2:15b “And Esther won favour of everyone who saw her”. Esther trusted God and she enjoyed God’s favour.

Further to the above, Joseph also enjoyed God’s favour, despite being a slave in Potiphar’s house, Joseph brought prosperity to the entire household because of God’s favour upon him as seen in Genesis 39:4. It was through Joseph’s presence that God’s favour flowed, causing blessings and success to abound in Potiphar’s house. Joseph experienced the favour of God because he feared God and carried the presence of God with him wherever he went.

As I conclude this post, my heartfelt prayer for all the readers is inspired by Psalms 90:17 which states: “May the favour of the Lord our God rests on us; establish the works of our hands for us”

Hi there🤗. Trust you are doing great! It’s with all pleasure I write to you. The topic today is drum rolls🥁😁 “God is Light” 💡☀️
     Many times in our lives, we struggle, stress, and exhibit frustration when we try to achieve a particular purpose and it’s unachievable. Little do we know, that the reason most times is that we are in the dark, ignorant, unaware of the reason why we are unable to achieve or accomplish the purpose. At times we even know and are completely aware of the reason we are unable to achieve a particular purpose, but we are either scared to take an action or are agitated because of unbelief or we have tried other steps yet it’s not yielding desired achievable results.

     The Bible says in 1 John 1:5 that ” God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. God is light, he is not darkness. Take for example, when light shows literally, what we could not see before becomes highly visible, when light appears, there is joy 😄 and clarity, not frustration. God is light, bringing joy, clarity, and knowledge.

     The evidence that God is in your life is that you will see the light which is God’s purpose for you, God’s peace and joy being apparent in your life. Also, you will know his will for you, you will never be in the dark, frustrated nor be oppressed by the enemies, or limited in achieving any purpose in line with God’s will for your life just as the Bible says in Jeremiah 29: 11 that God’s thought for us are to prosper us and not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. With the light of God shining in us, we can achieve any of our plans for our lives as long as they are in line with God’s will for our life.

      God is light. He is always in charge, most powerful, ever-present and he is greater than anyone in the universe. Every creeping thing including the mountain before him crumbles and shakes, and walls fall at the sight of His presence as seen in Ezekiel 38: 20 which says “The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beast of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at my presence; the mountains will also be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground”.

      How can you experience God as light? Thankfully, a wonderful verse answers this question completely,  John 8: 12;  ” Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”.
This is the summary of how to experience God as light, Let Jesus be your Lord and personal Saviour indeed and in truth. The Lord knows those who are his, you may think He is your Lord but He isn’t. We need to follow him, aim to be his children, attend services, and worship with fellow believers in a Bible-believing Church. I attend the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria.
My Pastor said yesterday that we need to walk where God is, so he will be with us. We need to do the above, so we will never walk in darkness but have the light of life💡 ☀️

Thank you for reading🤗. Shalom!
