Why Worry?
Can't you see that it is done already?
Why worry?
You wont lay hold on that blessing until you get rid of worry. Worrying wont just age you but it will also destroy your life. Engage in worry and you will lose that glorious destiny. If satan can get you to worry over your situation, then he has overcome.
How Do I Overcome Worry?
Your don't overcome worry with prayer, rather you kill it by faith. When satan threathens you, don't keep quiet! Speak out in faith! Do as Psalm 81:10 has commanded, " I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. "
So, anytime worry tries to creep in, declare God's Word with boldness. David killed Goliath with his declaration of faith (I sam 17:46). Joshua and Caleb entered the Promised Land through their declaration of faith (Number 13:30).
Your greatest enemy is Worry. It takes your declaration of God's Word through faith to disarm your enemy.
Glory to God!

Egypt: Not A Place Of Envy!
There is calamity in Egypt. There are reproach, stagnation, frustration, sadness, mockery, lamentation, destruction and curses in Egypt. Egypt is not place to be- It’s not a place of envy a place of eternal damnation (Ezek 30: 4). A majority of the people or if not all hate to experience the death Egypt carries but it’s sad to let you know that almost everyone has become a citizen of Egypt.
The sins of mankind has forcefully made them her citizen. The people of Israelites became slaves in the hand of Potiphar for over 400 years You can see this in Exodus 12: 40, “ Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt”. Hmm…the people of Israelites would have died in Egypt If God had not raised Moses for their rescue. God sent a Sheppard to rescue the Sheep from the Wolves. May I say this to some proud people who don't believe in God’s anointed servants? Most believe that they can be their own prophets…that’s a lie from the pit of hell. Until you are tied to whom God has sent your way, your damnation is inevitable. God has anointed His servants for our rescue. Moses was sent for the rescue of the Israelites in Egypt (Exo 3:10). God sent Elijah for the rescue of the widow of Zarephath (1 kings 17: 8-16). The Most High God destroyed bareness by sending Elisha to the Shunamite woman ( 2 Kings 4: 8-37). Who has gone sent your way? Who is your Pastor? I know mine and it very important to recognize yours. May God help you.
Egypt is not a chosen place by God. I know some people who are ready to contend the Word might say, “ Is she referring to the nation of Egypt in this continent? Is she condemning my home land, Egypt? “ Well I am not, I’m simply referring to the Egypt in the Bible. So let no one raise eyebrows.
Egypt is not a place destined for you and I. God is ready to bring us out of there if we are so determined to leave. The Israelites left Egypt when their minds were prepared for liberation. God heard their cry for deliverance and He sent His messenger ahead for their liberation ( Exodus 3: 7-9) Until you make a choice to leave the cursed land, you will die in shame and reproach. Egypt is a cursed land. Do you remember the story of Adam and Eve? They disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit. Sin is a forbidden fruit that we all but abstain from. Sin is a curse: Sin will make you a citizen of Egypt. God placed a curse on mankind when sin was allowed. You can see this in Gen 3:13-19,
“13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent:
“ Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“ Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.”
Wow! Children of God, it took disobedience to be cursed and it will also take obedience to erase the curse. Your obedience to His Word will cancel all curses. What a good news! It will take redemption to erase these curses from your life. Jesus has come to die for our sins and we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The book of Colossians 1 : 13-14 will buttress my point. It reads,
“ He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”Glory to God for the love of Jesus. Isn’t God mighty and merciful? He’s the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He’s forever faithful and full of compassion. How happy it is to have a loving Father. John 3: 16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
Accept Him into your live today because tomorrow may be too late. He has come once as a Lamb but his 2nd coming will be as a Lion. He came the 1st time to die for us all but His 2nd coming will be to judge the world. Accept Him now.
Glory to God!

How To Escape The Trap Of Offenses!
How To Escape The Trap Of Offenses!
By Bishop David Abioye
One of the cheapest ways out of offenses is thankfulness. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." God's will for you is to always give thanks, despite what is happening, what has happened or not happened in your life. When you find yourself in a situation that you can't explain and you don't know what next to do, give thanks to God. Make thanksgiving your lifestyle because that is one thing you can't do wrongly. I have gone through many situations in life but I have never been moved to ask God, "Why?" That question is too big for my mouth. I would rather give Him thanks and allow the situation to explain itself later. God does not owe me any explanations for whatever happens in my life, rather I owe Him all the thanks for the numerous privileges He has given me. So, thanksgiving makes you immune to frustrations; you are just happy and satisfied with God at all times.
Secondly you must avoid comparisons. Don't compare your life with others because everybody is on a separate track, God takes us through different routes to get us to our glorious destinies. There are many people who take steps or do things in life just because someone else is doing it. That is not the way to live! If you are always comparing yourself with others and using other people's lives as the yardstick for your own progress, you will constantly be under pressure. And when you can't catch up with them, you will become offended and may even break down under the weight of the stain. You don't need all of that! Can you imagine somebody labouring day and night to buy a car, not necessarily because he needs but because his friends and neighbours are riding cars? Please avoid such pressures, don't die before your time! Stop the game of comparison!
Thirdly, learn to rejoice with the joyful. When you see somebody making progress in life, rejoice with him, go and congratulate him. Anybody you can't congratulate, there is every likelihood that you will backbite him. So to avoid envy, openly congratulate your neighbor for whatever he is celebrating. His success is not the reason you are not making it. The fact that another person is blessed is not the reason you are not blessed, your own package is waiting for you but it may never reach your hand until you begin to rejoice with others who are rejoicing.
And fourthly, cultivate the attitude of contentment. Be content with what you have per time. One thing that will never end in life is wants; as long as you are alive you will always want something. "I want this, I want that." But have you noticed that there are some things you wanted so badly but immediately you got them, the passion for that thing died and you begin to want something else. That is human nature. I often tell people that the wants and cravings of life are not always to be satisfied but to be controlled. And that is where the issue of contentment comes in. Contentment is the control valve for wants. If you lack contentment you cannot escape being offended either in people or in God. So, be contented. Whatever you have now is okay for now. What you don't have now is not needed for now! When it is needed it will come.

If You Believe It, Speak It!
If You Believe It, Speak It!
Bishop David Abioye
Remember, having daily victories is a function of your faith. And faith is expressed through perspective, thoughts and words. So, it begins with what you see or how you view life in accordance with scriptures. And then the process continues, because what you see you think and what you think you will naturally say. “…For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matt 12:34). Faith always speaks! Whatever you cannot say is what you do not truly believe. In 2 Corinthians 4:13 Apostle Paul said, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” What you say is the proof of your faith. And Mark 11:23 assures you that you shall have whatever you say.
When Moses sent 12 spices to the Promised Land, they returned and 10 of them said, “We be not able to take the land.” But two of them said, “Let us go up at once for we be well able to take the land. Our God will give them into our hand.” They all saw the same things in the Promised Land; the fruits, the milk and the giants. But because of different perspectives, they were saying different things and God said to Moses, “Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you” (Numbers 14:28). So, God does to you according to what you say in His ears. Whatever God hears you say is what His hand will perform for you. God’s hand will never perform for you greater things than what you are saying into His ears.
There are many things that happen to you and you are either blaming God or blaming the devil, but the truth is, it was your choice. You chose it by your speech.
The 12 spies went to the same place but while 10 were looking at the circumstances, the other two were looking at the possibilities. If all you can see around you is circumstances, you will continue to describe the circumstances, until it becomes inscribed on your mind and begin to manifest in your life. Beware! What you describe will soon be inscribed on your mind. Whatever is inscribed on your mind will soon find expression through your mouth. And when you say, it becomes established for you.
The 10 spies saw themselves as grasshoppers beside the giants and so they became intimidated. You can’t be looking at your opposition and not end up intimidated. The only way to escape intimidation is to see your God who is greater than your opposition. And then open your mouth wide to declare what your God will do for you. As you make your boast in the Lord, He will boost you till you overtake your oppositions.
Glory to God!

How to Honor Your Wife
How to Honor Your Wife
Dr. Creflo A. Dollar
Scripture References
Matthew 6:31-33
1 Peter 3:1-7
Summary
God has set guidelines in place for husbands and wives to successfully operate the institution of marriage. Honor is a calculated decision to show attention, awareness and consideration for another person. Successful marriages are based on both spouses honoring each other on a consistent basis.
A There are ten things a husband can do to show appreciation for his wife.
1. He should open the door for her and let her go through the door first.
2. He should hold her hand when she walks up and down steps or gets out of a car. This demonstrates that a husband cares for his wife and that she is a precious treasure to him.
3. He should spend extra money on her rather than on himself.
4. He should regularly tell her how beautiful she is to him.
5. He should always speak honorably of her in front of their children.
6. He should take her to dinner or lunch and listen to her when she talks.
7. He should call her during the day to let her know he is thinking about her.
8. He should schedule time to spend with her.
9. He should write her love notes and poems.
10. He should always remember special dates such as her birthday and their wedding anniversary.
B. There are ten things a husband should never do to his wife.
1. Never put your wife down in front of others, jokingly or otherwise.
2. Never point out your wife’s weaknesses publicly.
3. Never tell your wife there isn’t enough money available to buy something she wants, and then buy something you want.
4. Never tell your wife that you don’t have time for her.
5. Never walk in front of your wife.
6. Never compare your wife to another woman.
7. Never make sexual innuendos about your wife in front of others, jokingly or otherwise.
8. Never lie to your wife or tell her a half-truth to cover your tracks; always be honest.
9. Never dishonor your wife in front of your children.
10. Never forget your wife’s birthday or your wedding anniversary.

Jesus Hold Me By The Hand......
"I wont let go (2ce),
Jesus hold me by the hand,
and I wont let go."
He has held me by the hand to subdue nations before me. He has held me by the hand to open before me the double doors so that the gates will not be shut.
Don't expect Him to hold you by the hand until you open up your heart to accept Him into your life. The choice is yours to make. I leave you with this,
"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them (Deut 20 :19-20).”

What Am I Here For?
We are not here just to clap our hands, shout halleluyah and escape to heaven. We are here to manifest.
Locate where you belong and stay there. Those who know where they belong will manifest.
Glory to God!

Be Careful!
Why do most people derive joy in crticizing great men of God? Are they aware of the danger in it? I'm sure they don't because if they do, they would have zipped up their big mouth. I heard the story of a married woman who despised a man of God as he was dancing before God on the altar and she became barren for 18 years. The bible also states in 2 Sam 6: 16-23 how Michal, King David's wife died barren for despising him in her heart for dancing before his God. What a careless woman! Can you now see the danger in opposing God's anoited ones? I learned that some people were critizing the great man of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye for asking Pastor Ighodalo to step down from his position for marrying a second time while his former spouse is still alive.
Folks, be careful who you oppose! Be careful!
Korah, Dathan and Abiram were dealt with by God without mercy when they rose against Moses. They coveted earthly precedence and rebelled against Moses and were swallowed up by the earth (Numbers 26 :9-35) . Miriam became a leper when she opposed her brother (Numbers 12 :1-10). If God wouldn’t spare a blood relation then no one else is exempted. The bible says, “ Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm (Psalm 105:15)” Speak not against them, rebel not against them and don't condemn these people. Be careful what you say about God’s jewel. God will rise from His throne to defend the apple of His eyes. Be warned!

IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD!
This is a song from back in the days.
"IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD, HALLELUYAH
IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD, HALLELUYAH
IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD
HALLELUYAH
PRAISE THE LORD
HALLELUYAH"
Oh Jesus! I need to dig those old songs out.

IN ZION I FIND REST!
I will be attending a "Breakthrough Night Vigil" service tonight. We'll be connecting to the mother church in Nigeria (Living Faith Church- Canaan Land) from Living Faith Church-Winners Chapel NJ).
God will move majestically in the midst of His people in Zion once again -It's going to be awesome!
I join the Psalmist to express how I feel about Zion;
" 1 How lovely is Your tabernacle,
O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion.[b]
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You! (84:1-12)"

SINGING:Key to Inspiration
1 Corinthians 14:14-15
Music is powerful because like prayer it has the ability to tune the human spirit to a frequency where it can receive revelation, ideas, impulses, impressions, visions, dreams and strategies from the spiritual world. It’s easier to remember musical notes than it is to remember mere words because the human mind has the capacity to interpret complex information passed through musical notes.
Also, music is one of the best ways to preserve information. Most of Moses’ messages were put in songs and that helped people remember.
Music gives inspiration and inspiration is the key to revelation. Revelation is a powerful resource
And to get the best out of God, we need revelation. In II Kings 3:9-17, it is recorded that at a particular time when Elisha needed revelation from God, he called in the musicians to put him on the frequency where he would hear from God.
Also in the book of Acts, Paul and Silas sang their way through the chains, fetters and doors. Music set David apart in the Bible, God simply loved him.
Our world is influenced by both positive and negative spiritual realities and the kind of music we listen to determines the kind of inspiration we get, influences the kind of revelation we get; therefore, we must be careful about our choices of the kind of music we listen to. Some music inspire lust and other devilish ideals.
Colossians 3:16 admonishes us to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs which will not only edify us but also facilitate revelation from heaven. It is necessary that we sing in tongues also; this can be achieved by singing first with our understanding and then transferring the rhythm to tongues. With this form of singing we touch the supernatural. While doing this, let’s ensure that our minds are focused on God and the specific issues we need to capture. Applying the ideas we receive brings breakthroughs, making life easier.
Not every one is blessed with the ability to sing in public. Some of us sing like canaries and the rest of us croak like toads! Whichever category we fall into, let’s keep on singing and croaking!
“When we praise God, the earth shall yield its increase” psalm 67:5-7.

Word Foundation For Divine Visitation!
God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob” (Gen. 50:24). God’s visitation is guaranteed for every believer who has an expectation or hope of a better place than where he or she is presently. No matter the present situation, in your health, finances, career, socially or spiritually, God will surely visit you and take you to your desired place!
However, God has a pattern of visitation. And it is important for you to know how God visits His people so that you can keep provoking His visitation in your life from time to time. God’s visitation is not something you should encounter just once in a life time, it is designed to be a continuous experience.
How does God visit His people? Divine visitation draws on divine promises. God will only visit you on the basis of His promises that you know. Your depth of knowledge of His promises is what determines the level of God’s performance towards you. In Genesis 21:1 the Bible says, “And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.” So, the basis for God’s visitation is what God has said. If you don’t know what He has said, then don’t bother expecting His visitation.
The Lord visited Sarah as He had spoken and what was the proof of that visitation? “…Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (Genesis 21:2). Sarah was 90 years old and Abraham, an hundred years old, but God’s visitation terminated their age-long problem of bareness and it happened at the set time that God had spoken. Concerning that long standing problem in your family, God will visit and intervene for you, but you must know what He has said. Unless you know what God has said, you will be wasting your energy claiming that you are expecting Him to visit you. Only knowledgeable people will keep enjoying the visitation of God.
The cheapest way for the devil to keep a man in the dark and rob him of God’s visitation is to take away knowledge from him. Ignorance remains the tool of the oppressor. Ignorance! Your oppressor does not need to put chains on your hands and feet, all he has to do is to keep away knowledge from you. As long as you are ignorant, you will remain under his charge. But the day you become knowledgeable, you will become free from his chains.
Every believer who desires to enjoy God’s visitation must necessarily be acquainted with His promises. What has the Lord said? If you don’t have His promises, you can not experience His visitation because His promises are the reference points for His acts. They are the anchors for His performance. God will never perform beyond His word.
Meditate on these: Isaiah 43:26, Numbers 23:19

Power In Praying In Zion!
God has shamed the devil again! How wonderful it is to always have victory over the devil and his cohorts. Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ.... (2 Cor 2:14).
I had to be in churh for the mid-week service yesterday but I almost missed the great opportunity if not for the strength of God. The devil wanted to attack me with sickness but I received my healing when I prayed in Zion, the house of God with Psalm 84:7, " They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion." Thank God for my sister whom the Holy Spirit gave the revelation of that verse of scripture and she told me to war with it for my healing. I give God the glory that I am hale and hearty because he has proved Himself faithful....Amen.
Zion, I will be there again today @ 7pm.
Glory to God!

This Month Will Go Down In History...
God will make this month a month of DOUBLE DELIVERY for me...Halleluyah! Look at the book Isa 61: 7,
" Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs."
Glory to God!

I'm Glad To Be An Addict!
God said this to me a few miniutes ago after engaging in a conversation with a collegue at work. " Never let it come out of your mouth that anything is too much for you. Do you know the daughter of Whom you are? You are the child of the Most High God. The possessor of heaven and earth. Do you know that as you say in my ears, I will do? The People of Israelites grumbled before me and what they said, I honored. Angels honor your words-whatever you say they perform. Talk to the mountain about Me, don’t talk to Me about the mountain. A word from you is enough to crumble the mountain. Utilize your authority! "
Wow! I couldn’t believe that an hopeless talk came out of my mouth. How did it happen? Hmm,,,, I don’t feel good about it. Who have I been talking to lately? What have I been listening to? Could it be the TV? I can't remember the last time I sat comfortably to watch it. Glory to God for the Holy Spirit who chastised me while I was alone in His presence. Now I feel good ...if it hadn’t been for the Holy Spirit, my Comforter, my words would have tied me down in the company of chickens when I should be soaring like an eagle-I’m of the eagles family (Isa 40:31). I'm seated with God in the heavenly places , far above principalities and powers of devil. I must be conscious of my status as the child of the King.
