WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

  STAY HOPEFULL .     _PROVERBS 23:17_ Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. 18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. --------------------------------------------    Many times we try to be the good kind that God desires of us. But many times we feel we don't get in return what we deserve . It is just a feeling not necessarily a fact. Seeing sinners prospering more than we do makes some alittle envious. You feel they don't deserve that. They have sinned and why should they prosper.  God's art is just. Whatever they are enjoying now is their earthly reward for their labor... meaning there is no more left. A Christian backslid deliberately...he grew very rich; richer than he was when he was a Christian. No it is just the devil's trick on their mind. They are eating of the fruit they had worked for when they were Christians. They exchanged heaven for earth. They gave up waiting for the etern

  WATCH .     _Matthew 7:15_  Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. --------------------------------------------    Watch, watch watch. Watching is not sleeping. It is not eating. It being awake both in spirit and body.  You may ask...how do we be awake in the body. Being mindful and taking serious caution with intelligence of the physical brain...; weighing things before ruling out definite cause and definite purpose. How do we be awake in the spirit; by prayer, understanding the deep knowledge of the Christ who died ;knowing that personal level. Not waiting to be taught; but seeking to learn the truth. Being awake in the spirit means taking careful precautions to seek the guidance of the spirit in matters that you can't just rule out using intellect. It is being aware; by the spirit of God what kind of fellowship should you embrace. It is not news that the devil is out there doing his work. If you never knew,

  RESTORED     _Psalms 41:3._ When they are sick, God will restore them, lying upon their bed of suffering. He will raise them up again and restore them back to health. --------------------------------------------         When a mother gives birth to her child, she gives it much attention. She cares for the child day and night till the child grows up. An even when they grow up, she takes care of them as much as she can. She never abandons them.  God understands every single creature that He Himself put on earth. He knows the most precious. There is nothing on earth that is more precious before God than you. You are more than gold before the eyes of your creator. He knows nothing as precious as you that He Himself created in His own image.  Because of such preciousness He cares about you and for you day and night. He thinks about you all the time. He plans for you all the time. As you sleep He takes care. As you become sickly, He thinks of the best medicine to heal you. As you think you

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON :                THE POWER OF A POSITIVE SPIRIT .   _INTRO_ :  In as much as good and evil exist, positive and negative exit. There is failure and there is success. There is sin and there is holiness. There is heaven and hell. There is God and there devil.  We have to be very aware that in whatever level of life we find ourselves in, there is a weakness and there is a strength. There is something to cry about and there is something to be happy about....and yet your spirit has to be positive all the time.   _PROB_ :  Whenever we encounter challenges and situations that seem beyond our control, we tend to be negative. Such negativity makes us miss out the good things.   _PURP_ :  To motivate our hearts to stay positive all the time.    >>>  Life is full of ups and downs. There are mountains and there are plains and there are valleys. There is light and there is darkness. We cannot reach a point where is complete happiness and complete peace.

  NEW DAWN     Isaiah 43:18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. --------------------------------------------    There was a relationship you had with God in the past that was not harmonious. Last year was the year of struggle and unending persecution. Yesterday was sorrowful and full of pain and tears. Most important thing God desires of you in relation to the above is FORGET THE FORMER THINGS. He wants you not to dwell on the past. He wants you to look and listen and observe and understand the new things He is doing. This is what he is doing. New ways in the desert are being formed. New streams in the wasteland are being created. You are not alone, somebody has made something new. The way is here. New opportunities have been created . The new spirit has been created in you . New people in your life have been formed. New stronger rel

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:               WAITING UPON THE LORD.  _INTRO_ :  Nothing in this world is achieved without embracing a tidous journey. Every destiny has a challenge attached to it. Getting to any point requires patience and endurance. It requires you to wait. What God has in our future, the good things...they require you to wait upon Him for divine drive.  _PROB_ :  The problem we have as Christians is that we are impatient and always want quick fixes. We don't desire to wait for the maturity of something before we can get it. Any it is in nature; anxiety. But we can overcome.  _PURP_ :  The purpose of this lesson therefore is to impart gentless and patience while we strive to get the goodness we have to in Christ.    >>>  There is a saying that those that run quickly run short distances and that those that run slowly run further. Quick fixes never yield eternal yields. It is for a moment. Waiting upon the Lord is waiting for the best. * Proverbs 8:33-36 33 Listen

  GOODNESS AS A WEAPON.   Romans 12:17-21 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. -------------------------------------------- In human nature, someone that wrongs you entices you to throw back the same measure just to hurt them the way you feel you have been hurt. Yes they need to be hurt like you have. But the Bible rightly says that it is not for you to avenge, vengeance is the Lord's. You might be hurt by someone else. Someone may have done you the wrong. God will surely pay back. Just then ther
