KINGDOM PRAYER FOR THE SEASON:
1. The LORD bless You abundantly with His Truth in ways innumerable and in every ramification of the word 'Truth' - not just to preach it as many do but to humbly live it out as evidenced by the number of men and women who came to Christ Jesus or are strengthened in 'His Truth' through You.

2. The LORD, The Almighty God that made the heaven and the earth give you the wisdom to live above self-deceit that is rooted in conceitedness and in the assumption that you alone possess this 'Truth.'  For this is the foundation of all cults and falsehood.

3. You will NEVER lack the proper testimony of Christ Jesus - that lines up with the Will of our God.  His will has to be done on earth as in Heaven.  For, indeed, the will of God is for the Kingdom of God to come down to earth or to rule this earth.  Enforcing the Will of God on earth attracts all the opposition of Satan and people.  But if God be for You, who can be against You. I declare in Jesus name that you are among them of Rev. 12:11 that overcame bearing the testimony of Christ Jesus, Amen. 

 

4. The LORD favor you in ways that will astound even the power of Rev. 12:17 dragon in his wroth and war against the 'remnants of the seed' of the woman and make you inexplicably wealthy spiritually as you hold on to the testimony of Jesus Christ.

5. The Lord send His Angels even the Angels that serves in the open temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven to undergird you in all God's ways as serve Christ here on earth.  Thus, making your journey through life a success and a glory to Christ Jesus.

6. Our Faithful God show you Love and Mercy (in line with Rev. 19:10) to be counted among them that have the testimony of Jesus - delivering You from the false worship (reverence) of men, angels, nationhood (race or color) and all earthly dignitaries (with all their titles and accolades) -  to worship sincerely the Living God and His Christ who is the Spirit of Prophecy (The Spirit of Truth) - for then His Goodness will never depart from you.

7. The Testimony of Jesus has no other evidence but the influence your life had on other lives making them to embrace the Kingdom of God on earth.  As such, People you know and even those you don't even know will bless God because you are passing and do pass through this earth; for our God, even Him whose name is El-Elyon has crowned you with His fulness. Amen.

For all these I decree to come pass and so do declare in the Name that is above every other name on Earth and under Heaven given us for our Salvation even Jesus, The Christ of God. Amen.www.facebook/joeomeokwe

Let it go…

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk
away from you:  let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to
see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us
that it might be made manifest that they were not for
us.

“For had they been of us, no doubt they would have
continued with us” [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just
means that their part in the story is over. And you've got
to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep
trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you
something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I
believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm
faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong
to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......
LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and
see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you ........
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents .....
LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......
LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take
you to a new level in Him......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try
to help themselves......
LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed .
LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so
used to handling yourself
and God is saying "take your hands off of it,"
then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for us in 2013 !!!
LET IT GO!!!
Get Right, or Get Left
.. think about it, and then ....
LET IT GO!!!
"The Battle is the Lord's!"

Every Pastor wants his Church members do their ministries well. But even among highly committed members, practicing certain habits can really make you distinguish yourself as to excel in the business of the Kingdom of God.

Here are 10 tips for making sure you're on the Pastor's A-list and ultimately on God's A-list:

1. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate Especially at the beginning of your relationship with other Church members or in serving the Church in any new capacity -- that is, when either you or the Pastor is new to the any ministry in the Church -- err on the side of giving your Pastor too much information and asking too many questions. There's no such thing as a dumb question. Look at it as information gathering. Don't keep up the constant stream of communication unless your Pastsor likes it, though. It's best to ask directly whether you're giving the Pastor enough information or too much.

2. Acknowledge What the Pastor Says Pastors appreciate "responsive listening." When your Pastor asks you to do something or suggests ways for you to improve your work, let him know you heard.

3. Collaborate When your Pastor has a new idea, respond to it in a constructive way instead of throwing up roadblocks. Be willing to brainstorm ways to get something done.

4. Build Relationships You'll make your Pastor look good if you establish a good rapport with those your ministries serve, whether they're inside the Church or outside. Bring back what you learn -- about ways to offer better ministry service, for example -- to your Pastor. This is also helpful for your own ministry development. Everybody wins in the long run.

5. Understand How You Fit In Is your Pastor detail-oriented, or someone who keeps his head in the clouds? The Pastor's personality is just incredibly important. Equally important is understanding what your Pastor wants in a member of his staff. It may be, for example, that a Pastor who is detail-oriented will expect his ministry to be as well. But a Pastor who has no time for details may actually appreciate a member of his staff who does.

6. Learn the Pastor's Pet Peeves If your Pastor has said repeatedly that he dislikes being interrupted first thing in the morning, don't run to his office to give him a project update when you first get in.

7. Anticipate the Boss's Needs. Once you have worked with your Pastor for a while, you should be able to guess what information he will want before approving anything that involves money or expenditure, for example. If you provide it ahead of time, that's a gold star.

8. Think One Level Up You still need to do your own job, of course. But when Pastors consider who deserves a promotion, they look for people who understand the issues that their ministry or Church face.

9. Open Yourself to New Ways of Doing Things When your Pastor comes to you with a new idea, don't simply dismiss it. If you don't think it will work, offer to discuss it further in a mature, responsible, adult-like way.

10. Be Engaged in Your Work Arguing with your Pastor over every ministry request is not a good strategy, but neither is simply shrugging your shoulders and agreeing with everything your Pastor says. The Pastor would like to see an engaged individual. That means both showing enthusiasm for your work and speaking up when you see room for improvement in the Church or ministry.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."

Many Christrians Are Unhappy. Why????

Beloved,

Apostolic greetings in the name of Him, who saves unto the utmost, even Jesus, The Christ of God. Please read Psalm 119:105 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 first of all before you read the rest of this write-up. I am full aware that there are tough days at work, trouble at home, and it never gets easier. Moreover, I am very much aware that as you grow older it can be tough to stay happy and upbeat with the challenges that life throws at you. But as I pray for you, I have few questions to ask you. Is it tough to enjoy time with friends and family? Are you able to focus and work hard? Do you ever feel unhappy?

The sad truth is that many Children of God struggle to stay happy. From King David to Apostle Paul as well as many others in the Bible, we have come to understand that a poor mood can wear and tear on your body leaving you feeling tired, drained, and empty inside. Unhappiness can damage your relationships, hurt family and friends, and make it tough to succeed. Everyday can be a struggle.

Living happy empowers you. It is imperative that a Christian live a better, more successful life. As such you ought to find yourself always playing with friends, eating dinner with your family, and feeling empowered. Moreover, you ought to find yourself motivated and achieving your goals. Beloved, you ought to have fun living the fulfilling, long life you deserve. You have, in Christ Jesus, the ability to achieve anything, but it's almost impossible without the right mindset, mood, and support.

We are in a spiritual war against our only known enemy Satan. Therefore, gaining and maintaining a positive mood can be hard. But a promising new discovery which is really the same old truth is bringing hope to as many as would hold on to it. "Mood Enhancement" has to be ONLY by a way to safely support your body's healthy, natural mental function by nourishing your body with vital nutrients of the Word of God and proven ingredients. Remember any treatment with Drug alters your brain's chemistry and never a safe natural way for adults to feel better and live happier. But when you learn to use the raw Word of God - just like it is:

Helps ease effects of stress and anxiety
Promotes a positive mood and live happier
Support healthy, natural mental function
Makes enjoying times with friends and family
Live a happier, more active life

The daily dosage of at least 20 Minutes of Morning & Evening personal devotion (concentrating in prayers with only one of the promises of God from any part of the Bible that guarantees victory over every negative roots of Galatians 5: 19-21. Every found verse of the Scripture that fits into dealing with the acting out of these vices is just like taking two pills in the morning or evening. Within a few hours of your first dose you should start feeling the effects. Most people see gradual improvement over the first two weeks.

Rather than feeling drowsy or slow in the day, you would find that a single memorized verse for the day gently eases stress and anxiety as you keep speaking that verse out through out the day, while also helping you feel better. Copy out the Verse in a clip board or piece of glaring paper if you cannot memorize it. Keep reading it to yourself in the course of the Day. This sample takes a few days to take effect, but the results can be well worth it. Begin early everyday, first, with a personal devotion. Wake up bright and refreshed in the mornings. Then the strength to work hard, enjoy your day, and feel positive. This practice helps support your mood without side effects of drugs such as drowsiness or trouble sleeping. It is also non-habit forming that is negative but a habit-forming that is positive.

Write me about your experience after a three month trial of this consistent morning and evening personal devotion. Amen.

Maranatha.

WHAT THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE OUGHT TO BE !!!

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17


This is one of the best verses that fitly defines what the Christian Marriage is all about and should be about. It is sobering to realize that one of the partners in a marriage RELATIONSHIP may be a thorn in the flesh of the other partner like in any human relationship whether it is even at work or in any ordinary human relationship. Has it dawned on you that you are another person's problem because of your particular personality? Christian marriage is no exception. The problem is, of course, each of us may be the problem, but unfortunately we make it somebody else's as well. It may be the person who has to live with you especially the one married to you, or work with you, or deal with you from time to time. You force that person to have to walk on eggshells around you. He or she loses sleep because of you. How does that make you feel? Well, it sobers me to my fingertips, knowing that I may very well be another person's thorn in the flesh.

Perhaps you are aware of your problem, but you say, "I can't help it. This is who I am." You have prayed about it often. But have you really tried to get help? You are never too old to learn as long as you want your problems solved.

So when you don't have a balanced personality, you have difficulty in getting along with people. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. You keep rubbing people the wrong way. Only Jesus had the perfect personality. He also has the perfect combination of self-confidence and care for others. That is the ideal person: having the balance of self-confidence, concern, and care for others.

If your personality is your thorn in the flesh, then you should admit it. Be thankful if you can see that you have a problem.

A personality problem is not necessarily sin especially in marriage. It is because you are a sinner that you have it, yes, for nobody is perfect. And yet there is a point at which a personality problem becomes sin: when you excuse it and justify it. If you say, "Well, that's just me," that's when it becomes sin. It is sinful when you excuse yourself and do nothing about it.

We all must be seriously become aware that Marriage carries along with it destructive habits, selfishness, low self-esteem, and an inability to communicate - all examples of the excess baggage we may bring into a marriage. Excess baggage causes problems because we start new relationships with emotional and relational weaknesses that prevent us from serving our spouses.
We begin to accumulate excess baggage because of the devastation brought to relationships and marriages by hardness of heart, a root cause for much of the world’s brokenness (Mark 3:5). Oftentimes the hardness of heart in past relationships damages us and provides the unhealthy patterns we bring to our marriages as excess baggage.

Sometimes there is no easily identifiable single sin that brings down a marriage. Instead, a marriage weighed down by the excess baggage of unhealthy, sinful attitudes reaches a tipping point and the relationship is crushed.

Even in the best of marriages, each spouse brings wrong attitudes and unrealistic expectations learned in the developing years. Children who experience a home with addiction, physical abuse or divorce face higher hurdles in having healthy relationships of their own. Statistically, at least one marriage partner today will come from a divorced family.

Even if it’s done unintentionally, people who are hurt tend to hurt others. Unless we break the cycles and patterns of brokenness in our relationships, we’ll only make things worse. The good news is that there is hope.

Prayer joined with professional and pastoral counseling can help us work through our excess baggage that hinders us so that we can develop healthy relationships. Husbands and wives each bring problems into relationships. We can all admit the simple fact that “I’ve got problems. You’ve got problems… All God’s children got problems.” With this honesty and a soft heart, we don’t have to spend the rest of our lives weighed down by our baggage—no matter how much of it we have

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

Three Rules of Predictive Prophecy

A prophet is vindicated and his message authenticated by the fulfillment of his predictions. (In other words) there are definite laws governing predictive prophecy.

Here are the three laws:

1. An accurate prediction must be beyond the power of human foresight or sagacity. In other words, forecasts based on any observable (natural) trends are ruled out. This means that prophesying an obvious or common future event does not constitute a true predictive prophecy. For example, predicting that the sun will rise tomorrow morning is not in any way a prediction. It is a statement of fact. No foreknowledge from the Holy Spirit was required.

2. An accurate prediction must contain a sufficient number of specific details to preclude guesswork. Generalizations do not fit the norm of real predictive prophecy. The more accurate and fulfilled details there are in a prophecy, the greater the likelihood the prediction was truly from God.

3. A sufficient time must elapse between the prediction and its fulfillment to prevent any agency of the prophet or his contemporaries from bringing about the results. An accurate prophecy gains strength and momentum by itself over time until the season for its fulfillment. In this sense, time is the great test of all predictive prophecy. True predictive prophecy comes to pass OVER TIME, and inaccurate predictive prophecy fails to come to pass OVER TIME.

Want to know whether a predictive prophecy is from God? Give it time!

Please join me as we work together to maintain Biblical integrity in prophetic ministry. Let's make sure we continually follow up on any prophetic predictions we give. This is the responsibility of all prophetic ministers.

Hope this helps and to God be the glory,
