THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿THE FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD
"But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him"
TEXT: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Hebrews 11:6
***********************************
MESSAGE 🏡
Faith is seeing the invisible but not the non-existent. Faith is focusing on the saviour to do what He has promised in His word. Our text declares that without faith, we cannot please God. So, faith that pleases God is our belief in God, not from some other sorts or sources, that He will do what He has promised. God teaches us that the only faith which pleases him is the faith of His Son, Jesus Christ.
We can now define Faith that Pleases God as the faith that depends on our convictions, confidence, trust, reliance, trustworthiness, and persuasion. In the new testament setting, Faith that Pleases God is the divinely implanted principle of inward confidence, assurance, trust, and reliance in God and all that he says. We can identify faith that pleases God as;
1. Such faith must be in Christ Jesus (John 14:6; John 3:16)
2. Such faith must be an obedient faith. That is it must anchor obedience to God and his words (James 2: 20).
3. Such faith must be the faith that passes the test (trials and temptations) (James 1:2-3; 1 Cor. 10:12-13).
4. Such faith must be the faith that anchored Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith.
5. Such faith must be the faith that dares the impossible and challenges all situations that are working against the truth in their gospel.
We know that everything around the kingdom of God is built on faith. And the Bible has declared that whatever is not done by faith is sin.
Based on this, how can I please God with my faith? We can please God by;
1. Having faith in Christ (HEB.11:6).
2. By being spiritually minded (Romans 8:5-6).
3. By fearing the Lord (Prob.15:33)
4. By studying and following Jesus examples ( 1 Peter 2: 21)
5. By obeying God (1 John 3:22)
6. By doing God's will (Isaiah 1:19).
7. By making the holy sacrifices the Lord wants (Romans 12: 1-2). One of the greatest sacrifices the Lord wants is to make your life a living sacrifice, holy and that is acceptable to God. In this, we will have being able to please God, the God's way. May the Lord give you the grace to please him always in Jesus mighty name Amen. May our actions and services please our God in Jesus mighty name Amen.

THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿KINGDOM SEEKERS
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”
UTEXT:✅ Matthew 6:33
**********************************
MESSAGE🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Jesus says: “Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need” (Luke 12: 31). In Mathew 6: 33, He says:
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
A Kingdom Seeker is a soul conscious person, desiring always to do the will of God and fulfill the purpose of the kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God operates differently from the kingdom of this world. The kingdom of this world is all about acquiring material wealth, fame, popularity, money, etc. On the other hand, the kingdom of God is all about God's desire and His righteousness, which is His Son, Jesus Christ and His purpose in the world. If we put Jesus Christ first, He says He will add the wealth, money, job, spouse, etc., that we need to us (Luke 12: 31). If we can only understand God and move along with Him, we will find everything we need in life quite easily. Our aim is to seek God's desire. Seeking the Kingdom which is God’s desire is a command from Christ Jesus (Mathew 6:33). Doing what God and our Lord Jesus want us to do, will bring us other things that we may need. Let us walk with this understanding, and we will never be anxious for anything.
WAYS OF BECOMING A KINGDOM SEEKER
1. Submit yourself to Christ, the king. Job 22: 21.
Just say “Yes” to God and be willing to serve God with all your gifts and blessings.
2. Do the will of Christ the King. Mark 3: 33-35.
Engage yourself in God’s business.
3. Make Christ and His will your first priority (Mathew 6:33
4. Live righteously (1 John 2:29).
5. Be loyal to Christ (Luke 14:26-28).
Your faithfulness and obedient are paramount here.
6. Engage yourself in reading and studying his words always. (Joshua 1:8)
The Bible is the word of God and is life-giving.
7. Engage yourself in daily fellowship with God (2 Corinthians 13:14).
8. Dress like a citizen of heaven in word and in deeds (1 Timothy 2:9-10).
9. Bear fruits that last (Galatians 5:22-23).
10. Support the kingdom work financially. (Colossians 3:23; 1 Peter 4:10).
May the grace of God be sufficient to you in this area of life, in Jesus mighty name Amen.

THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿THE EVER FAITHFULNESS OF GOD
“After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight”
TEXT: ✅HOSEA 6: 2
**********************************
MESSAGE:🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Our God is ever faithful. The Psalmist proclaimed, “For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his faithfulness endureth to all generations” (PSALM 100:5).
Faithfulness speaks to the very core of God’s character. Faithfulness has to do with being reliable, fidelity, firmness, stability, trustworthy, trueness to one’s word, dependability.
ACCORDING TO Hosea 6, a true biblical prophet always presents what the Lord has commanded him to convey. Beginning in verse 4, Hosea presents God’s answer to Israel. He chastises them for their fading love (v.4); (“O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away”) by asking them (rhetorically) what He is to do with them? He is calling them out for their wickedness against Him and makes His uncontestable accusations regarding their unfaithful hearts.
God reminds them of what they’ve done (could they not know?), and He tells them what He requires of them in verse 6, “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” The Lord God makes a case no one can refute. He compares the priests to murderers; such did they kill the covenant with their rebellion and unfaithfulness (scholars are divided about this passage being literal or figurative). There was no getting past their guilt. In verse 10; ” I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled”, God said He saw a “horrible” thing encapsulated within whoredom and defilement. In Hosea 6:11a, God tells them their day of judgment is coming and they should not be haughty about their neighbors’ destruction.
Men should always know that whatever we do in life, a day of judgement must surely come, whether in this world or in the world to come. This should guide us to stop every kind of evil against humanity. Sin committed against humanity is sin committed against God.
The last verse of chapter six, however, brings hope for the nation.
“Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people” (HOSEA 6:11).
God promised He would restore the “fortunes of My people.” Calling them “My people” brings their covenant relationship back to the fore. They’d done egregious wrongs, but God is forever faithful and stands by His promises. May you enjoy the ever- faithful promises of God in your life in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME:🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 GOD’S FAITHFULNESS
“Then we shall know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth”
TEXT: ✅HOSEA 6:3
**********************************
MESSAGE🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
God’s faithfulness is his reliability in doing what he has promised in his covenant. Therefore, God’s faithfulness means that God is completely worthy of our faith. God is too faithful to forgive our sins as found in 1 John 1:9;“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.
Hosea 6:3 Reminds Us That God Is Always Faithful. Hosea is one of the minor prophets in the Old Testament. His book is not minor because it is lesser – it’s minor because it’s a shorter book than the major prophets’ books (Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel). Hosea’s name means “salvation,” and it is appropriate for this book because of God’s promises to Israel. Hosea most likely was one of two writing prophets from the northern tribe of Israel (Jonah was the other). Hosea was a contemporary of Amos, Micah, and Isaiah, so he prophesied before Israel’s exile to Assyria. At the time Hosea prophesied, Israel experienced financial affluence and civil peace. But God’s people were bound in ethical depravity and spiritual impoverishment.
In his book, Hosea focused on Israel’s rebellion against the Lord and their violation of the covenant with the Lord. Hosea pronounced God’s imminent judgment against Israel.
Hosea 6:3 reads, “Then we shall know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth”
What Is the Context of This Verse?
The first three chapters of Hosea fluctuate between God’s judgment and salvation of Israel. The Lord uses His command to Hosea that he marries an adulterous woman to symbolize Israel’s relationship with Him (Hosea 1-3).
As Hosea’s wife was unfaithful, so too was Israel in their covenant relationship with God. Within each section, though, is the promise of the judgment being reversed.
The set-up for chapter six begins in earnest in chapter five, when Hosea brings a resounding accusation against the priests and the king in addition to the whole nation. The leaders were culpable for leading the people in false worship, and the Lord announced He would use invading forces to bring Israel back to Him. (Hosea 5:15) says; “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early”.
We can also note here that affliction is one of the ways God can use to return the backsliders to himself.
But would He accept them? This is a pointer that God can use anything, anytime to bring his own back to the fold. Fear thou Him. But abide in the calling whereby He has called you for your divine blessings, favour and divine security. Shalom.

THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿BELIEVER’S LIFESTYLE
"For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth”
TEXT: ✅2 Corinthians 7:14
*************************************
MESSAGE🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
To live a believer’s lifestyle requires having the character of Christ. A transformation must occur, as a result of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling in the believer (Galatians 5: 24-25). When we truly practice the believer’s lifestyle, the inward evidence becomes obvious. God’s glory and power pour out upon all those around us. Those who live the believer’s lifestyle live a confident life on the inside and outside. The people of God have a certain kind of lifestyle that has been designed for them, and this should be a way of life if they want to continue to be the children of God. Their lifestyle could either bless their possessions or vise versa. To receive blessings from God, you first have to do everything God's way. In order to receive the blessing of healing, and restoration from God, He has demanded humility, prayer, seeking His face, and repentance. Only then can He heal His children and their land. Today's Christians should not take God for granted; He still demands humility, fellowship, prayer, and repentance today because He is still a holy God. Dearly beloved, if we want God to be close to us, fellowship with us, and answer our prayers, then we need to live the lifestyles of prayer, humility, repentance, and holiness.
What is the purpose of living a Believer’s lifestyle?
1. To remain connected to God through Jesus Christ (JOHN 15:4-8).
2. To remain faithful, even in times of persecution and to resist false doctrine (2 Timothy 3: 12-17).
3. To present the Good News to a lost world (Mark 16: 15-16; 1 Timothy 6:12).
4. To remain in his union and fellowship .
Our transformed lives compel us to share the Gospel’s impact not just for our “today”, but for our eternity.
What was the lifestyle of Jesus Christ?
1. Jesus communicated continually with God (Matthew 11:25-26; Mark 6:46).
2. He acknowledged the significance of the Holy Spirit (John 14: 16-17, 26).
3. He obeyed the will of His Heavenly Father (Luke 22:42, John 6: 38-39).
4. He resisted temptation by steadfastness to the word of God (Luke 4:1-13).
5. He reached out to those considered hopeless and sinners (Mark 2:15-16).
6. He served others, humbling himself before his father (John 13: 3-5, 12-15).
7. He persevered in faith and love (John 4:34, John 9:4, John 17:23).
8. He remained in the Father's fellowship and union.
Beloved, even as we follow the footsteps of Christ and live for his glory. May the Lord keep you and comfort you at all times in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 LIVING A PERFECT LIFE
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”
TEXT: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿MATHEW 5:48
*********************************
MESSAGE🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
A Perfect Life is seen as the life of love for God and for others, and total obedience to God that propels us into a close fellowship with God. Believers are called to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. Hear this in (Mathew 5:48);
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”.
Perfection needs abundance grace on the side of the believer. It takes God’s divine power for us to live a life of godliness which leads to perfection. The word “Perfect”, in the Bible means “Complete” or “finished”, Jesus was made “perfect” through suffering. Hebrews 2:10 reads; “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings”; and Hebrews 5:8-9, re-affirms;
(8) “Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; (9) And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him”.
Jesus completed or fulfilled God’s plan for Him as our Saviour by suffering for us. So, this means on the path way of perfection, we may experience, see or encounter suffering, trials, persecutions, and afflictions. These things do not come into our lives to destroy us, but they come to galvanize us and make us perfect. Perfect can also have the meaning of “mature” or “grown up”. In Philippians 3:15, the Apostle Paul speaks to us “as many as be perfect”. Hear him; “Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” (Philippians 3:15).
God did not leave us wondering on what to do to live a perfect life without giving us the heavenly standard of living. These are some of the heavenly standards of Godly living that the Lord Jesus Christ sets up for us. Hear these in (Mathew 5: 21-22); it reads: (21) “Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (22) But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire”.
It is really possible to live a perfect life or a blameless life. The Lord Jesus Christ said the object of perfection is God, that is living your life according to His standard in His word, and therefore we should be perfect or blameless as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). To live a perfect life is to depend on God every moment of our lives. To depend on His grace available to us and His purpose. We must depend on His grace every moment of our lives and live a life of holiness. When Jesus walked this earth, Philip, one of His disciples, asked Him to show them the Father. Jesus answered and said, "that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father" (John 14:8-9). Jesus Christ is the express image of the Father, so if anyone wants to be like the Father, they should be like Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul came to know this in his own walked with Jesus Christ. That is why he said our words and our deeds should be Jesus focused while giving thanks to our Father. When we are focused on Jesus Christ and talk and act in His name, we are living in the path of perfection. May you depend on Jesus Christ and stay connected to Him for your perfection in Jesus mighty name Amen. Hallelujah! God bless you.
**********************************
PRAYERS♨️

THEME: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿No Discrimination
"That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life”
TEXT: ✅John 3:15
*********************************
MESSAGE🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Discrimination is itself the neutral act of perceiving differences. Discrimination is a negative term referring to the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people, and this is the sense we will assign the word in this article. Discrimination can be based on disabilities, race, ethnicity, intelligence, or any number of factors that make human beings different.
One of the first problems that arose in the early church was due to discrimination. “But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food” (Acts 6:1, NLT). The Jerusalem church was multi-ethnic, and some racial prejudice crept into their practices and caused trouble. This squabble pulled the apostles away from teaching and preaching, so the church elected the first deacons to deal with the problem and make sure no one was being discriminated against. (Acts 6:2–3) reads;
2 “Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not the reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business”.
Discrimination was also a problem for the first Jewish believers in Jesus. Because God’s Messiah had come through the line of David and to the Jews first. (Romans 1:16) reads; “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek”. They assumed He was their Messiah only. Disagreement arose then as Gentiles were added to the church. Some Jewish leaders wanted to know how the Gentile believers must become part of the whole (Acts 14:27; 15:5). Many Jews could not believe that mere faith in their Messiah was enough to justify Gentiles as it had them. Surely the Gentiles should have to do something “Jewish,” such as observe the Sabbath or be circumcised, to be saved (see Acts 15:1 and Galatians 5:1–12). This clash of cultures, with its theological implications, necessitated the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:2–35). The modern church often wrestles with similar problems. Christians can discriminate against certain people groups or lifestyles, unsure if the same faith that saved us is enough to save “those people,” too (Ephesians 2:8–9).
No human being is fully free of prejudice or discrimination. It’s part of our selfish nature to prefer those of our own kind, whatever that represents to us. Races tend to congregate in their own neighborhoods and churches, preferring their way of doing things to that of other races or nationalities. Preferences are fine as long as they don’t turn into legalistic discrimination against believers who differ on non-essential aspects of faith. Without realizing it, we can all be guilty of discrimination. Legalists discriminate against those they judge as rebels, while rebels discriminate against traditionalists. The goal should be to disagree without discriminating.
We can overcome our tendency toward discrimination by modeling Jesus’ attitude of humble service. (Matthew 20:28) says;
1. He washed the feet of Judas, knowing that Judas was a traitor (John 13:27).
2. He ministered in Gentile regions and in Samaria (Mark 7:24, 31; John 4:4).
Rather than incite discrimination between “us and them,” Jesus’ coming to earth broke down the barriers that separated people. Hear this; “He himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” (Ephesians 2:14). We can practice the instruction of Philippians 2:3, which says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”
God has made all who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior one. Jews and Greeks, rich and poor, every nation, and every ethnicity—Jesus has formed His church from all groups (Galatians 3:28; Revelation 5:9).
There should be no discrimination within the Body of Christ because there is no discrimination with God. God Almighty does not discriminate when it comes to the subject of salvation. The invitation for salvation has been sent to all mankind for God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34) says; “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons”.
If you will only believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and receive Him as your Lord and personal Savior, you will be saved and given eternal life as a free gift for your faith. He is ready to give it to whoever believes, so the question is, do you believe? If you do, then you shall receive His precious gift of eternal life. Don't ever demean yourself; He is not only the God of the Israelites but He is the God of all nations, tribes, races, genders, and tongues. Just come to Him with a sincere heart and receive your salvation. Without salvation, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Hallelujah!
