THIS WORLD CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY FIXED WITHOUT JESUS

A pastor was struggling to prepare his sermon and didn't want to be disturbed by his five year old daughter, so he removed a map of the world from his study, tore it into pieces and gave it to her daughter to assemble with the promise that he would answer all her questions and play with her when she was done.

He knew she would never be able to fix it. To his amazement, in less than five minutes, she returned to him in his study with the map in perfect shape, every continent and every country in its place. The surprised father asked, "Honey, you don't know anything about geography, so how did you fix the world so easily and quickly? The five year old girl smiled sweetly and replied, "The picture of JESUS was at the back of the map and i knew that if I have JESUS in the right place, the whole world would be in perfect shape". That was just the right inspiration he needed for his sermon.

He thanked his daughter and prepared a powerful sermon on the subject Fix your world by placing JESUS at the right place. Just place JESUS in his rightful place and your life will be in order. I hope you understand this just like I do. Spread it to the world, let them know that all you need to fix your life is Jesus.     

THE POWER OF THE PRAYING STUDENT

UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS PRAYER?

Prayer is a communication between you and God in order to establish the will of God in your life, situation and society. Prayer is not just talking to God. Prayer is talking with God in order to effect his purpose on the earth. This means every prayer must receive an answer from God. You don't just talk to God, He also communicate with you. Psalm 99:6-8.

There is power available to the praying student and also through prayers you can establish God's will in your academics. God is waiting for students to pray.  Students are the ones facing the challenges; Students, we must pray now because some issues we are facing are not just physical but spiritually manipulated. Sadly to say, not many students are driven to prayers as a result of these evils. We must wake up to pray for God. I challenge you to shake the fallow ground of your school and let righteousness rain upon it.

One area I urge all students to pray about is their school calendar. Many students, apart from personal problems, have stayed in schools longer than when they ought to graduate. External and internal strikes have made many students over stayed their years in school. James 5:16 God will never change what you have not prayed through on your knees. There is a song that says Prayer is the key, prayer is the key, prayer is the master key Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer, prayer is the master key. Prayer is the master key to every situation in your Academics. I believe it is ungodly to be strong in prayers and be lazy in your studies as a student. We need to study well as student as we also pray. We shall excell in our academic in Jesus name.  

STORY OF ANGELS

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement . As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, Things aren't always what they seem"

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?  The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.

"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife i gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later....

Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some people become friends and stay a while.. Leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts... and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.     

FEELING BETTER HAS BECOME MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN FINDING GOD

MATHEW 7:13-14 In the world today, we have moved away from finding God to finding ourselves. Fondness for one's self has become the highest virtue and personal pain is now the greatest sin. 1. Marrying Late- Pastor Kumuyi's present wife 2. No Children in the marriage- Father of Faith ABRAHAM 3. First Husband's death- Ruth won't have met Boaz 4. Got jilted at the last minute- Saul's promise to David if he kills Goliath, Samson's wife after the riddle 5. In love with the girl about Town- Rahab the harlot of Jericho 6. My husband is Foolish and not organized- Abigail of Nabal 7. Spent on a woman and got cheated- Jacob and Rachael 8. I was born in pain and into a curse- Jabez says to shut up 9. I love too many girls- Solomon says Vanity upon Vanity 10. The economy is harsh- Jesus was born in a manger..... The bottom line is this: DO EVERYTHING TO KEEP THE ANOINTING ON YOUR LIFE. LIVE FOR GOD AND LET GOD FIGHT FOR YOU. It is not true that if you marry the will of God for your life and stay in the will of God, your marriage will be problem-free. It is an aberration of the Gospel to think that if you are led by the Holy Ghost and filled with the Holy Ghost, your marriage will feel better and you will feel better without any pains in life. Mathew 3:16-4:2 ASK YOUR SELF WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?

HOW DO YOU BECOME A COMPLETE WOMAN

1. Discover God's purpose for your life and desire to bring it to pass- Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 5:29 2. Be progressive. Don't give in to discouragement, Philippians 3:12-14, 3. Be willing to pay the price through prayer and fasting. Today, there are several ways to learn of the lord: your personal bible study, worship, prayer attending fellowships, church services, listening to good christian messages, reading good christian books. can help you grow spiritually. Before others can learn from you, you must have learnt from the master yourself. Make sure you "buy the truth and sell it not" forevermore on your soul that is eternal than your body which is temporal. You can only give out to others what you have. The question is where are you dwelling". At times we are so consumed before our needs to the extent that it become difficult for us to see how we can sacrifice and be a blessing to others; whereas the key to getting our desires is in being of help to others, Ruth decided to stay by her mother-in-law who was a widow and needed the company of someone close to give her comfort. At the same time, Ruth was a younger widow who needed the company of a young man in - her life as a husband. She sacrificed for her mother-in-law. During her time of sacrifice, Boaz the wealthy Jewish businessman met her, blessed and married her. God crowned her sacrifice with the gift of a son named Obed. Obed became the father of Jesus, the father of David, The lineage through which our lord Jesus Christ was born into the world. Come unto me all you that labour and are heavy laden and will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me.

COMPLETE IN HIS FULLNESS Part One

1. Every body wants a life of completeness and this is fundamentally why Jesus came to the earth to make us complete and whole. 2. The word complete cannotes fullness, wholeness and totality. So to be complete in his fullness is to be totally formed in him. 3 Christ is the manifestation of God.Phil.2:5-11. 4. Christ is life. Jn10:10 without Christ, life is incomplete. Jn 15:1-5 5.Jesus himself told us that without him we can do nothing, He is our peace, Joy,salvation, health and giver of long life victory etc. A complete woman in his fullness is a woman who has received Grace. The book of John in chapter 1:16-18 says that, of his fullness have we received Grace for Grace. And this is the Grace that makes us complete in him. Phil 2:10 the word "Woman" is five letters and five is the number of Grace. Prov.31:10-31 gave us five attributes of what makes a woman complete in his fullness in the five letter of a woman as stated below: W WINSOME O OBEIDENT M MINDFUL A ACCOMMODATING N NATURE
