Favor Of God

Favor is the unmerited love and gift from God to us. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 2:26 (KJV), “And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the Lord; and also with men.” As a child of God who has faith in Him, delight in him and connects with him and gives honor to Him. Isaiah 66:2 says, “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” 2 Chronicles 16:9 say, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” To be “perfect” toward Him means we seek His favor more than we seek the favor of anyone else; no matter what you are going through, God Almighty will send favor. Favor is not what you merit, but a great blessing from God. It is God’s desire, to favor His children. When divine favor is released by God upon your life, it blesses you beyond your imagination. People will compete among themselves to bestow favor upon you, simply because you have found favor

The favor of God can be described as “tangible evidence that a person has the approval of the Lord.” When we favor someone, we want to be with him or her. We delight in him. We connect with her in a way we don’t connect with everyone. We usually favor people who also favor us. In the same way, God shows favor to the ones who him. Our Lord has promised to favor us in many ways. Finding favor means gaining approval, acceptance, or special benefits or blessings. The Lord invites us to seek His favor (Psalm 119:58, 135; 2 Kings 13:4; Jeremiah 26:19; Zephaniah 2:3). When we seek His favor, we humble our hearts before Him (2 Kings 22:19); seek Him for Himself, not just for the blessings. He gives (Jeremiah 29:13); and arrange our lives around loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27). We seek first His kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Favor is not what you worked for it only requires His kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33) by loving willingness to do God’s Will and trusting Him, then His blessing follows through favor.

of God comes at God’s time and manifestation is unstoppable, as the Bible says in Psalm 102:13, “He will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to favor her; the appointment time has come.” When your time of favor comes, no one can stop it. When you have the favor of God, it lasts a lifetime. We need to pray as children of God, according to Luke 2:52(NASB) “And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men." Gabriel told Mary (Luke 1:30) that she had "found favor with God" and would bear the Christ-child. When Christ was born the angelic host announced to the shepherds that God would send "peace to men on whom his favor rests" (Luke 2:14). At age, twelve Jesus enjoyed the favor of God and men as, he "grew in wisdom and stature" (Luke 2:52), a description similar to the one about the boy Samuel (1 Sam 2:26). When you have the favor of God and men, you are blessed with prosperity, mercy, kindness, and indulgence to mention a few of God’s favor.

I would like to emphasize an important issue to all believers those who are favored of go through difficulties in life; however, they know God is with them and that nothing can happen to them apart from His good purpose (Romans 8:28). They have His ear as they walk through dark valleys (Psalm 34:15) and know that their struggle to remain true to Him will not go unrewarded (Matthew 10:42), Many people in the Bible had the Lord’s favor but also suffered hardship (2 Corinthians 6:4; Acts 14:22; 20:23; 1 Peter 2:19). Noah (Genesis 6:8), Moses (Exodus 32:11; 33:13), Daniel (Daniel 10:19), and Mary (Luke 1:28) were favored of the Lord, but they also struggled with difficulties like anyone else. we have is that God seeks out those who love Him and love His commands so that He can bless, guide, and protect. God Almighty will give us understanding that favor (Proverbs 13:15), and we will increase in favor with God and men Amen www.colem.org.

God’s Grace is Sufficient for me.

The Bible read in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIB), 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. We see that this saving grace is given to us through faith; faith is the conduit through which God’s grace flows; none of this is our own doing, not even the faith to believe! It is all a gift from God. We, who are saved by God’s grace, have no room to boast. There will be no one in heaven who can say, “I got here by my own efforts. Children of God this Year 2016, It is God's Grace that will make you achieved all your heart desires with the faith and action that you put in it is Grace? Grace is Mercy showered on us by God.

Grace means God showing His love to you even though you don't deserve it. You can't earn God's grace. You do not deserve to be saved from sin and to have eternal life. However, God showed His grace by saving you from sin's punishment when you trusted in Jesus as your Savior. God also shows His grace by giving you strength and guidance, and by taking care of you each day. God, by His grace, gives you strength to handle difficult problems in your life.

Grace is God's idea, His work His expense. God's Grace is more powerful. God saved you by His grace. The Bible says in Ephesian 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith. You can also depend on God each day for the grace you need to live for Him. Because God shows His grace to you, you should show His grace to your neighbors. Are you always thankful for God’s grace in your every day discover Grace is to discover God's utter devotion to you that is why the Bible says we should grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." You don't have to be perfect to receive God's Grace – only be willing and Jesus will treat your past with grace. Let Grace overpower your past and create in you a clean conscience, which will lead to a right spirit within you is the power of God that keeps you going. When the Grace of God abounds in your life, you are blessed, receiving His Love and goodness. "The Lord's love never ends. His mercies never stop. They are new every morning. Growing in God's Grace and the Knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ; It makes you become like a mountain that cannot be moved. Your faith will be like a mustard seed.

We deserve nothing from God. God does not owe us anything. Anything good that we experience is a result of the grace of God (Ephesians 2:5). Grace is simply defined as favor. God favors give us good things that we do not deserve and could never earn is anything and everything we receive beyond that of mercy (Romans 3:24) God instead of judgment, gave us grace through salvation, forgiveness of sins, abundant life (John 10:10) and an eternity in Heaven, the most wonderful place imaginable (Revelation 21-22). Because of and grace of God, our response should be to fall on our knees in worship and Thanksgiving.

Hebrews 4:16 declares, "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." An example of God’s Grace you is why you are favored in a way you cannot comprehend. You want for an interview, and they just loved you and gave you the job with Fanatic salary; you started the Job it was a peaceful place of work all the people around you are nice and hard working. No room for backbiting and dishonoring. This is what we called a peaceful Job full of God’s Grace. I pray for all those who are working and had no peace at Job that God’s Grace will shine upon those Jobs, and they will experience peace may have continually prayed and fasted to sustain the tribulation and trail around you. In that God’s Grace was still sufficient to give her victory over the plans of the enemies.

Grace is like an umbrella that entails favor, joy, victory, good health, patience, comfort, happiness, promotion, mercy, Long life, peace, encouragement, faith, , blessings, and power of obedient to God. The Grace of God does wonders in our lives, and it is sufficient for us as believers The Bible says in Acts 11:23 (NIB), When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts children of God, we should appreciate that God grace is sufficient for us and let us have steadfast heart and love in the Lord for his Grace to abound more in our lives( Romans 5:20) www.colem.org.

The Purpose Of Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday means Jesus’ triumphal entry. Jesus begins His final week of ministry by entering Jerusalem amidst a jubilant celebration. Jesus carefully planned and executed the triumphal entry into Jerusalem in order to fulfill an Old Testament messianic prediction in Zechariah 9:9-10: “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” Jesus wasn’t merely presenting Himself as a but as the promised Messianic King of Israel. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.

The prediction also came in Matthew 21:1-6; John 12:14). commanded His disciples to go ahead of Him and secure it for His entry into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:2-5; Mark 11:2-7; Luke 19:29-38). He didn’t merely chance upon a donkey, but He knew about this donkey in advance. Jesus had planned this whole event. The multitudes greet Him, shouting “Hosannas” and waving palm branches in their hands, as He enters the city. For this reason, Christian tradition refers to this day as “Palm Sunday”—the day of Jesus’ triumphal entry.

And they greeted him with a royal victory celebration. John tells us that they “took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him.” The waving of palm branches was a common way of celebrating the victory of a great king or deliverer. The people also laid some garments in the way before him, which in our day would be the equivalent of “rolling out the red carpet” (cf. 2 Kings 9:12-13). They were clearly preparing the way for the king.

The crowds seem to take it, without question the great multitudes that thronged Jesus of Nazareth were hailing Him as the promised messianic king. They “began to shout, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD, even the King of Israel.” The majority of that chant of praise is lifted from Psalm 118:25-26. Some Pharisees in the crowd who, when they heard the multitude hailing Jesus as king, said to Him,

“Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” They didn’t agree with the way the crowds were treating Jesus refused to acknowledge Him as the Messiah. Therefore, they want Jesus to correct what they perceived to be the mistake of the multitudes. Instead, Jesus replies to them, “I tell you, if these people become silent, the stones will cry out”—which is another way of saying, “I am the king, and I must be acknowledged as such” (see Luke 19:39-40) evidence the multitudes that praised Jesus as king of Israel—including His own disciples—did not really grasp the full significance of this event. Their understanding was, to varying degrees, superficial. This is proved by the fact that many who were hailing Him as Israel’s king days later condemn Him as Israel’s enemy (Matt 27:15-17, 20-23; cf. Acts 2:22-23).

The disciples did not understand the nature of his kingship at that time. John tells us, “These things. His disciples did not understand at first” (12:16). They already confessed Him as the Christ. No doubt they were joining the multitudes in the royal celebration. Nevertheless, even His beloved disciples at this point did not truly perceive the full meaning and significance of what we call Palm Sunday triumphal entry into Jerusalem obviously reveals Jesus to be the Messiah, the King of Israel. God promised Israel that He would establish one of David’s sons upon the throne forever. Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise. Palm Sunday, therefore, is a day when we acknowledge Jesus of Nazareth to be the promised Messiah. That’s the obvious meaning of Palm Sunday.

O Lord, continue to be the Messiah of our lives and let the songs of Hosanna (which me victory) be the words of our mouths and Let us experience victory in all areas of our lives, children, and endeavors Amen www.colem.org.

of Forgiveness/Mercy of God

We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God, But God in His Mercy sent His son our Lord Jesus Christ to redeem us and give us salvation. Do we appreciate is dying on the Cross for us? If we do, why are we still dwelling in sin day after day? We have to stop our sinful ways of life to justify the Blood that was shed on the cross. As children of God, we have to realize there is no little sin. Sin is . If you are still in the habit of lying, stealing, harmful, jealous, backbiting, fornicating, adultery, wickedness, pride, rebellious, selfishness, greed, killing and so on. You need repentance from God. If you say my sin is less than one killing and shooting people. Do you know some don't carry a gun but carry the mouth guns? They have used their mouth to kill innocent ones due to jealousy and hatred and taken helpers and favor out of the way. We should realize the fact that some killed physically and some spiritually. The spiritual ones are common than physical; you see it happened in places of work, families, among friends and religious organization. Defamation's of character is what some enjoys, some have mortgaged their hearts in these extents all for vanity. We all need God’s forgiveness and change our ways and life’s styles to speak well about each other.

Another form of sin is unforgiving. Some of us can keep malice to eternity. How then can you ask God for forgiveness if you have not forgiven others? Matthew 6:15 (ASV) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your forgive your trespasses. It is the Law of God for us; if we are true Christians, forgiveness must be a part of us. Luke 11:4(ASV) And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation. I feel some people saying upon how I forgive; they continue to hurt me every time. How long will I forgive?. Luke 17:4 (answers this question) and if he against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee saying; I repent; thou shall forgive him. Matthew 6:14(ASV), For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly will also forgive you. O Lord teaches us and gives us the heart to know how to forgive others as part of life; to be able to stand in your presence you are still in that predicament, check yourself? It is because you have not forgiven those who hurt you dearly? Follow the law of forgiveness as we read in Colossians 3:13 (ASV), Forbearing one another and forgiving each if any man complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also .

Children of God we are in the lent or fasting period. Use this period to ask God for forgiveness and also forgive those who hurt you. Our Lord Jesus died for us for this purpose. Confess your sin today. 1 John 1:9(ASV) if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness of God our lifestyle must be - forgiving and showing mercy. Luke 10:37(ASV), And He said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou . God is God of mercy and compensation. But God being rich in Mercy, for his great love wherewith, he loved us (Ephesians 2:4) We have to confess our sin so that we can receive God’s Mercy Proverbs 28:3(ASV), He that cover his transgressions shall not but confesses and forsakes them shall obtain mercy. Forsake all your sins today wear a new life that says no to sin. Accept Jesus as your Lord today, He is the way Truth and Light. He will give you salvation O Lord I come before you Lord forgives me all my sins and draw me nearer to you. Give me a Spirit to forgive those who have hurt me Amen www.colem.org.

In a love will be Established Isaiah 16:5

We are in the Month of Love, and God wants us to love one another as Leviticus 19:18 reads, Love your neighbor as yourself. A lot of us mention the word love and do not mean it. Some will say I love you. Does it genuinely come from your heart or just mouth say? Some hurt the emotions of many through this when it is not real and they believe them. God is love lives in love lives in God; and God in Him 1 John 4:16 (NIV). Where there is no love; God is I huge allow God in your life and home by giving love genuinely to others.

My question is, do you really love God and follow commandments? If you say yes, you must first love according to 1 John 4:19 (NIV) we love because He first loved us. We have to follow His footsteps by loving first no better how they responded. We must love unconditionally. It is just God’s way of living. True love, comes from the heart not by mouth only, The combination of love from the heart and expressions accommodates, understand, reason jointly, have good communication, peaceful, never hurt, reliable, trustworthy, kind, not selfish or self-centered, value, considerable in decision making, giving, respect, protect, not secretive or deceitful, patient, not envious or competitive and humble. They pray with each other and are God-fearing and do everything with love (Corinthians 16:14}.

There is no fear in Love. It is always faithful children of God where there is no love, there is confusion, hatred, hurt, pains, suspicion, frustration, complain, attacks, jealousy, malice, anger, argument, retaliation, third party who does not wish you well involvement, no focus, lack of joy, lack of understanding and pride that marriage, home, family, organization and ministry needs enjoy fulfillment, blessings, peace, happiness where there is no love, all these will be absent. God is love, and He dwells where peace reigns to give blessings that added no sorrow. An environment of love is a healthy environment and brings good health. In Isaiah 16:5,

In a throne will be established. In faithfulness, a man Love and faithfulness work together to build a mansion of Joy. Children of God start today to build a mansion of joy around you, forgive and move on with love. Proverbs 3:3(NIV) says, “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on your tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man." Faithfulness never lives where there is genuine love. Proverbs 4:6 (NIV) read …. Love her, and she will watch over you. Get wisdom to love than hate to give you peace, ignore their negative vibes and continue to love them; with prayer and supplications ask God to touch and changed their stubborn heart to receive the love.

Love must be renewed every morning the love of yesterday cannot sustain you because you may have been offended. Love makes the hearts closer to each other; that is why you see those who are in love speak romantic words to each other and live peacefully Argument and hate keep the heart afar from each other to bring retaliation and revenge that is why separation and divorce are on the highest now, and a lot of Christian’s home devil is waging this war on them. Psalm 63:3 (NIV), “Because your love is better than life my lip will glorify you." This is what David wrote in the book of Psalms but when you applied this word to your life, marriage, home, children, husband, job, organization and ministry you will appreciate an atmosphere of peace and love; which in return will bring good life. If you are lacking life of love now, introduce the you and add God to it.

that lack of love in our environment are as follows:- some gave their love only job without family, some children without their husband or wife, some wife or husband without children, some to their parents negligently their family and so on. true life in all these examples, to balance, or it will backfire one day. Get to balance it and distribute your love accordingly. Those you ignore today might tomorrow; in a home will stand and love will reign brings me to a scenario of someone who said; I give love to and it with evil and make me look bad always. Should I continue in love when they hurt me, disgrace me, called me all names for loving, caring and not appreciating it? What can I do in this situation? It is true this might be hurting, but the Bible refers us to Proverbs 17: He who covers an offense promotes love” You cannot stop loving if you love God. Pray for them for God to open their heart and eyes to receive your love. Be accommodating and accept them for who they are with love. Doing well is of God, is for it.

Another scenario is where one couple gave his or her love to the other. Suffered for him or her to achieve success. The other spouse had move of hurting, bringing negative vibes, , looking for excuses of going frustrating and manipulating people around to hurt the other. The bad spouse pretends to look good with his or her evil ways; Selfishness and not giving were a part of him or her. Should I still love? The Bible read in 2 Chronicles 5:12 (NIV), “God’s endure forever”. Psalms 145:8 (NIV “ The Lord is gracious and compassionate slow to anger and rich in love” With these Biblical quotes, I will say if it is not life treating, God for change in his or her ways and continue to have an enduring love. Increase your love and patience, be open-minded to him or her and continue to ask for the touch of God over that life. This parents who also have stubborn do not send them out on the street or ignore them, tolerant avoid an argument with them and pray without ceasing on those children.

God answers prayers; He will reunify the marriage, children, family, job, ministry or organization with love again. He is God nothing is impossible for HIM; He is able... Send the Love to everyone around you and continue with it, not just for this month but all the time. Exchange gifts always and build your home with genuine love we are in the month of Love, God will rebuild our environment with love no matter, how hard we find it, we must give the love and let God of peace reign. God Almighty will increase the love around us and subdue the powers of those hurting our love. He will give them the insight to value genuine love and makes it reciprocal in Jesus name. Happy Love month to you all, build the mansion of love continually; and for those who appreciate love around God good.

Where can we find wisdom?

The Bible says in Job 28:12-28(NASB): “Where can wisdom be found? And where is the place for understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. The deep says, “It is not with me,” and the sea says, “It is not with me.” Wisdom cannot be obtained from gold neither shall silver be for the price. No measure of gold, silver, crystal, coral or pearls can equal it, or the price of wisdom is above rubies.”

Then, where does wisdom come from? God is the only That is why we read in Job 36.5, “Behold God is mighty but does not despise any; He is mighty in strength and wisdom.” Children of God seek God's wisdom to handle all your affairs this year. Do not depend on your understanding alone add God's wisdom to it.

The source wisdom can be found in these Bible passages:

• Job 28:28(KJV): “And unto man. He said, Behold the fear of the Lord is Wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.”• Psalm 51:6(NASB): “Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part you will make me know wisdom.”• Deuteronomy 4:6(KJV): Therefore, and do them [God’s commandments] for this is wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all the statutes, and say, surely this great nation is wise and understanding people.”• Proverbs 4:4-8(KJV): “He taught me also, and said unto me, let thine heart retain my words, keep my commandments and live. Get wisdom, get understanding, forget it not, neither decline from the words of your mouth.”

Five ways to get and keep wisdom:

1. Fear of God. 2. Walk in truth, holiness, and righteousness.3. Keep His statutes and commandments.4. Retain His words in your heart and speak about His words.5 a personal relationship with Him (prayer ).

Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom and with wisdom you understand. Wisdom is not about age. It can be given to anyone and everyone who seeks. It is a gift from God and cannot be inherited. The Bible says in Job 12:2, “No doubt, but you are the people; wisdom shall die with you”. This means wisdom cannot be transferred. When God gives you wisdom, it is yours. Solomon could not give his wisdom to his children; his wisdom died with him. Wisdom can be found through prayer as Solomon did in King 3:7-12. He prayed to for wisdom.

Come and seek your own wisdom from God by asking him in prayer as Solomon did in the Bible. keep the above

As we enter this new month God's wisdom will be our gift to direct our path and lead us to joy, blessings, prosperity, victory favor, The wisdom to serve God more will also be impacted, and it will be forth open doors. Visit www.colem.org.

God supernatural provisions

How can we achieve a financial breakthrough and God’s supernatural provision children of God, we know and believe that God is the source of our supply. His promise for us is to supply our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Christ gave it all for our sake that we might be made rich. This was not compulsory; He gave His vast, immeasurable wealth and riches willingly so that you and I can no longer be poor world thinks of poverty as not having the earth’s wealth and riches. Those who are considered rich are those who have accumulated great wealth and an abundance of possessions. In the kingdom of God, those who are rich are people who, like the apostle Paul, who have learned to look to God for his supernatural provision. As a child of God, if you set your affection on things above and on the work of the Lord, though you the world’s goods and be poor according to the world’s standards, you will be rich, having the access to all that God possesses good news for you is that Christ took your poverty—spiritual, physical, material—upon Himself and carried it to the cross. He did not pay the supreme sacrifice for your sins alone, but for all your needs including your physical and financial needs. You have a covenant relationship with God that you are rich and will achieve your purpose in life.

You will have all that you need and more because you have been made a joint heir; you are not limited by the wealth and riches of the world. You have direct access to the Father and all that He has, belong to you. You do not need to rely on your own limited resources. You have access to the resources of heaven! You have unlimited access to all that the Father has and you can go directly to Him and draw all that you need through your covenant relationship with God which Christ made possible.

As a child of God, you have provision for needs—salvation, health, peace, protection, security, prosperity, and deliverance. Through your covenant with Him, there is divine sufficiency, abundance, and no lack not doubt God supernatural provision for your life. Trust Him, do His will, and obey His words to enter the covenant that brings the provision. Get your eyes off your financial needs— your limited resources—and walk in the covenant with God in which you draw your needs from Him. Face your financial circumstances in new strength knowing that God will not withhold anything from you as you come to Him in faith. The Bible says in Psalm 84:11(KJV), “….No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” When you honor God, He will not withhold good things from you. He will make continuous supernatural provisions for you.

Ways to receive God’s Supernatural Provision•

Walk uprightly with God.• Increase the fruit of your righteousness.• Give thanks to God.• Know God’s purpose for your life.• Pray for a breakthrough in understanding and His promises in your circumstances.• Love and Give to the things of God.• Ask for a fresh revelation of God’s plan of to His people.• Have a with God.• Faithfully walk in obedience to God. We read in 2 Corinthians 9:10-12 (NIV), “Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be rich order to be generous to people, and through your generosity will result in to God. This service that you perform is the needs of God’s people but at also overflowing in many expressions giving thanks to God for blessing and also a blessing.

In these verses, there are five powerful keys for walking in financial victory and living God’s promises of supernatural provision: 1. God will provide seed for you to sow. 2. God will supply your need.

3. God will increase your seed.

4. There will be supply.

5. God will increase the harvest of your righteousness.

When you move in God’s direction for your life, His promise is to give you— His supernatural provision— and this to pass in your life. Visit www.colem.org.

The Blessing of God

is a statement of and happiness; which brings about prosperity, peace, and fulfillment. is a wish from God to restore His favor on us or a declaration of His inherent goodness. The ultimate blessing that God has given is the new life and forgiveness that come through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. also “the act or words of one that blesses,” or “a thing conducive to happiness or welfare. The word Blessing first came up in Genesis 1:22, when God blessed the sea creatures and birds, telling them to be fruitful and multiply in the earth. Likewise, in verse 28, God gave blessing to Adam and Eve, adding that they were to exercise dominion over creation is the only one who pronounces blessings. When God called Abram to go to the Promised Land (Genesis 12:1-3), He promised to bless him, make his name great, and through him, to bless all the families of the earth. The blessings here are plainly associated with happiness and welfare, both for Abraham and others.

and adds that blessing is due to his obedience to God's commands. In Genesis 22:17-18, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” emphasis Deuteronomy 28:1-6 If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out. is connected to the knowledge that God is at work to direct us the right path.

God's chastisement is actually a display of His love for us. In Psalm 1:1-3 carries that theme further when it states, “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does .” The book of Psalms is full of references to this kind of happy blessing for those who love and fear the Lord God.

If you need the Blessing of God, you must be willing to accept what it takes to , which is The Four Laws of God’s Blessing. “I will bless you … and you will be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2 NIV).

1. Our blessings should flow to others Bible teaches us that we are blessed not just so that we can feel good, not just so we can be happy and comfortable, but so that we will bless others. God told Abraham in Genesis 12:2, “I will bless you ... and you will be a blessing”

2. When we bless others, God takes care of our needs. In Luke 18, Jesus says, “I guarantee this. Anyone who gives up anything for the kingdom of God will certainly receive many times more in this life and will receive eternal life in the next world to come.” God promises that if we concentrate on blessing others, he will take care of us In fact; God guarantees this blessing.

3. Our blessings to others will come back on us. Luke 6:38 tell us, give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” The more you try to bless other people in the world around you, the more God says, “I am going to pour blessings out on you.

4. The more we are blessed by God, the more he expects us to help others. Jesus said it this way in Luke 12: “Much is required from the person to whom much is given; is required from the person to whom much more is given” (Give and are blessed to be a blessing to get God’s Blessing Proverb 3:33- Obedience- -Giving (helping the needy)-- Faith- Love-tithing-truthful The Benefits of God’s Blessings-God's blessing is a forever Blessing Deuteronomy 28:1-6. -God's blessing is always sufficient. Exodus 16:18 (ESV)- God's blessing accompanied Thanksgiving and praises. -God's blessing is recognized by the Blessing of Obededom in 1 Chronicles 13:13-14. - God's blessing is automatic when there's unity. blessing inspires generosity. -God’s Blessing makes room for you and enlarges your coast (Rehoboth Genesis 26:22) .-God’s blessing added no sorrow.

God’s Manifestation of Glory

Manifestation can be defined as the act, process, or an instant of manifesting. It is the state of being manifested, outward or perceptible indication; materialization. Manifestation means to receive what you or become reality from God or man do we need God to manifest in your life? As Children of God, we all look forward to different things from God. Hannah in the Bible wants God to manifest the fruit of the womb in her. The ten lepers wanted of healing. The Blind man wanted the manifestation of his sight. The woman with the issue of blood needs healing to manifest because all her resources were wasted on the sickness. The widower Elijah met need's manifestation of prosperity. She was poor, and the only food left she was asked to prepare for the prophet. The sisters of Lazarus need of the power of Jesus to give life to their brother. If the power of God could manifest these for them, yours too is in the plan you are patient as a child of God, to wait for God’s Manifestation of His Glory in your life, you will never be the same again. The bible says in Romans 8:19(NIV) The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. Your present situation or sufferings now is not worth comparing to the glory that God wanted to manifest in your life. God Will is to liberate bondage and to bring you to His glorious kingdom of the children of God.

of God’s Glory in your life needs Hope as the Book of Romans 8:24-25(NIV) For in this hope, we were saved, But hope that is seen is not at all; Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Children of God we need to hope and receive God’s manifestation in our lives created us to be fulfilled and for His Glory to manifest in us. Isaiah 43:7 says; “I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made." Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, And the deaf, even though they have ears.…. When it is our time for God’s manifestation in our one can stop it; that is why God is today for the manifestation of His power over our lives God’s manifestation is upon your life it cannot be hidden it brings great testimonies as the book of Isaiah 44:23 says, “Sing for joy, you heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, you earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel."

God Manifestation of His Glory in our lives takes us from Grass to Grace, from been mocked and to the name of God been exalted d in our lives, Isaiah 62:2 says the nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. God manifestation of His power makes people call you a new name and been respected and honor do not know what area of your life need His manifestation? However, I want to give you the good news; He is able if you believe and faith. If you see with spiritual canal shine through His manifestation; as the Bibles in Isaiah 60:1 (NIV), Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Children will shine in the of our adversaries this month in Jesus name pray that whatever situation you are struggling with that has brought you shame pains, stress or dishonor God’s glory will be manifested in them and will bring you Joy Amen.

Why do we need Deliverance?

Deliverance is defined as “a rescue from bondage or danger.” Deliverance in the Bible is the acts of God whereby. He rescues His people from peril. Exodus 18:8-11 The second meaning of deliverance adds the idea not only of rescue but also of drawing someone to one's self. This concept shows that God's motive behind deliverance is His fervent desire to fellowship with His people upon whom He has set His unfathomable love. Colossians 1:13 The third meaning of deliverance is to deliver into the hands of...for the purpose of judgment. This idea involves God bringing His people into confrontation with their enemies so that they can defeat them in battle. Exodus 23:31 The fourth and last meaning of deliverance is to have ample space between oneself and one's enemies. It is the end result and goal of the process of deliverance, where one's enemies have been beaten back and brought into subjection, so that they do not press in to harass, distress, and endanger a person or his land. Psalms 31:8 To be delivered, we need to be free by the stronghold of the devil;

A stronghold is a mindset that is impregnated with hopelessness that causes a person to accept as unchangeable something in their lives even though they know it goes contrary to the will of God." This aspect of deliverance requires the believer to be equipped by God with spiritual weapons of warfare. God will supply the power to defeat the enemy once the believer faces the enemy in faith. David gives us an example of God's faithfulness to the one who will face the enemy. You need to possess the key element which is FAITH to face the enemy, Our faith must be like a mustard seed, a mountain that cannot be moved and having the hope that we will defeat the devil as the bible says in Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." You must be strong in faith to fight the devil has emotionally emasculated the minds of people and placed them in a prison that they feel they will never be released from.

The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” The devil knows that the way a person thinks is how that person will act. If Devil can convince a person to believe something untrue, then he can cause them to fall and defeat them in this spiritual war that is why as children of God, we need our faith to be strong in the Lord. Devil held people captive behind these seemingly impenetrable bars and inescapable walls. that this is all there is to life, taking their faith them mentally messed up, emotionally emasculated, and spiritually lost. These aimlessly wandering through life bound hopelessly waiting to die, imagining that everything will be over whether what they have experienced to be life would just cease from being.

They are disappointingly unable to see that God has a far more excellent and abundant life for them. They are struggling to break free unable to come into the freedom that is promised to them. They are unable to understand that the price of their freedom had already been paid for by our Lord Jesus on the Calvary. They never all they have to do is come out of their captive through deliverance by knowing their God and trusting Him. This is an answer for that bound man or woman wandering through this life aimlessly. “Deliverance” As children of God, we should realize that the devil, which is a deceiver, uses trickery to fight this battle of Spiritual Warfare, and because man is limited in his thinking, he often yields to the temptations of the devil, and devil understands that to gain control of the mind is to ultimately have control of the soul. When He takes control, he put fear, doubt anxiety in our mind to distract us from seeing right, as we see things carnally instead of spiritually. The Bible says, in 2nd Corinthians 10:4-5 “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of stronghold; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Children of God to be delivered you need obedience to the commandment of God and also follow the word o Lord Jesus Christ; which made it weapons are not is bombs and guns, but the weapons of the word of God will defeat the devil every time. The weapons are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds through reading the word; doing the Will of God; fasting and praying without ceasing the word as we read in Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, says the Lord.”As we are in the month of Deliverance, you know what the devil deprived you off, as the Bible says the violence take it by force, Be strong and be bold to retrieve your Joy, blessing, peace, your freedom, your possession, job, marriage, health and any other thing the devil has been taking from you. This is the word of God for you this month that you have been empowered to go with fasting and prayer to retrieve your possession and be delivered and that God is on your side in the battle you are not alone.

When you are declared a winner to retrieve your belonging from the devil through the spirit of the Lord, that is upon you according to Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the , to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” It is when you are set free you can go around setting others free by the power by the name of Jesus. Being delivered and Staying delivered is not something that is impossible, because the Bible says with God all things are possible; however, the key element in deliverance lays within you the individual. How you made up your minded to receive your deliverance, as the Bible says in 1st Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast; unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, inasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee.

"My prayer is as we read 2 Samuel 22: 2 “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm strength in whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower. Psalm 18: 2. He will surely deliver us; give us victory and restore us according to Joel 2:25 all we have lost physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially in Jesus name. Amen.

Having Great faith in God

I marveled as we called ourselves children of God and allow situations of life to affect our faith and trust in God. This brings about this question asked in Mark 4:40, And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith? How is our faith in God? Is it conditional or unconditional? Some have faith only at their good time, which means their faith is conditioned to when things will favor them or going well with them. The Bible says in Matthew 8:10, Now when Jesus heard {this,} He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. Can God find a great faith in you as he found in the centurion man? ”The Bible also emphasis in Luke 18:8 …... However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Can God find faith in you as an individual? Some will tell you they believe and still doubt why? The Bible says in Matthew 21:21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. Our faith in God should be unconditional is not about believing allow; however, also trusting God; when you don’t trust God that is Unbelief.

A scenario of the display of unbelief in the Bible was when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. “I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” In Matthew 17:20, And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,', and it will nothing will be impossible to you.

As Children of God little faith is no faith in God; This us to another rendering of the same situation as in Mark 9:14-29 –. When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him. And He asked them, “What are you discussing with them?” And one of the crowds answered Him,

“Teacher; I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.” And He answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. “It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!”

And Jesus said to him,” ‘If you can things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately, the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.” After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand and raised he got up. When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, “Why could we not drive it out?” And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.” From this above scenario Jesus said if you can, this means, for your faith to work you are in control of your mind to believe and trust that God’s manifestation will take place.

Children of God believe God in those situations that are not pleasant to us and praying and trusting God for solution's testimony will come forth brings hope when you believe in Jesus and His Name as the Bible read in Acts 3:16 “And on the basis of faith in His name, {it is} the name of Jesus, which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which {comes} through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

Faith with action will bring all your heart desires. We have to establish our great faith that all is possible through Christ, who has strengthened us. Examples of Bible passages of those who exhibit great faith and received their miracles are as follows: - Matthew 9:2, And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.” great faith brought . In Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well. Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.” Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once. Luke 7:50 And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Acts 14:9, This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well.

God is asking those who are still struggling with their faith in Him this question as we read in Luke 8:25, And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him? As you struggle to maintain your faith ask God to strengthen you; as in Acts 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and {saying,} “Through many tribulations, we must enter the kingdom of God. Can God find such faith in you as an individual the book of Mark 11:22 say, And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God? God wants us to be obedient to Him through our faith in Him as in Acts 6:7 …… becoming obedient to the faith Children of God, we have to pray and ask God as the apostle prayed in Luke 17:5 the apostles said to the Lord “Increase our faith!” Surrender yourself to His Will today and ask God to increase your faith and make it great as a mustard seed. Pray for a renewed faith that can move mountains and claim what Jesus said in Luke 22:32, but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.

Standing in faith

“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11: 1 KJV). To stand in faith means to focus on your hope without allowing distractions that may occur on the way. Standing in faith makes you tear down the barriers of unbelief. Every time they try to distract you and hold you back, you stand on the positive force of God’s Word. When you face a decision either to listen to the voice of negativity unbelief to listen to the voice of God as He speaks to you through Word, you must set your will, and determine in your heart that you are going to of God, regardless of what you hear, feel, or think. This is called standing in faith in faith also means you allow the Holy Sprint to do His work; there is no end God can transform you. Standing in faith means taking your rightful position as a true so nor of the living God; knowing that He will give you strength and courage to face every of the enemy without fear and knowing that God has already given you victory example, consider people who stood in faith and received victory in the Bible such as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed—nego when the king ordered that they cast the furnace of blazing fire (Daniel 3:16-26). in the Bible are when he was put in the lion’s den (Daniel 6:16-26); and Paul and Silas, while imprisoned prayed and praised the Lord, and suddenly there was a great and they got their victory. As children of God need to stand in faith and trust in the Lord we serve you have faith and focus on God by reading His Word daily, praying, praising God, fasting, and living a holy and righteous life, you are standing in faith and He will always be there for you as He was Daniel and others in the Bible
