THE SPIRIT OF DILIGENCE

Joshua 18:3, 2 Cor 8:7 

What is DILIGENCE? Diligence is : • A spiritual virtue and a key ingredient required for success in life • The earnest and constant effort to complete a task. • The platform for excellence (Proverbs 6:6, 1 Tim 5:6) Characteristics of Diligence 

                                                        • It is a choice. Proverbs 22:29, but it is a choice of the triumphant. The way you listen to God's words shows your level of diligence • Diligence is a commandment ( Deuteronomy 22:5, 2 Cor8:7). 

                                                        • Diligence is a seed ( Gen 8:22, 2 Cor 9:6) Mark 1:12, Jer 4:6 • Diligence is a spirit • Diligence drives its carrier Τ̲̅ȍ labour (Neh 4:6, 1 Cor 15:10). It takes away the spirit of laziness. 

                                                        • It carries definite rewards(1 Cor 3:8, Heb 11:6) 

Dimensions of Diligence 

- THOUGHTS: It begins with your thoughts ( which is the root of diligence). (Proverbs 13:4, Matt 12:34, Luke 6:45, Deuteronomy 6:7). 

- ACTIONS: If you are diligent you will be hard-working, it will show in your actions. Proverbs 12:24. 

- WORDS: it affects our words, when you talk it shows whether you are diligent or not. There are many hidden blessings which won't come out until you possess the spirit of diligence. 

Examples of diligent men in the Bible; 

Genesis 30 - JACOB 

MATTHEW 2 - the 3 wise men 

1 CORINTHIANS 15:10 - Apostle PAUL 

1 THESSALONIANS 2:9 - Apostle PAUL 

JOHN 9:4 - JESUS CHRIST. 

REWARDS OF DILIGENCE 

¤ Uncommon results 

 ¤ Creativity 

¤ Promotion 

¤ Order 

 ¤ Establishment 2 Peter 1:10 & 11 

Finally the way to contact the spirit of diligence is through DESPERATION.

IMPORTANCE OF UNITY IN THE CHURCH

Importance of maintaining unity in the church.

Unity means togetherness of hearts that are personally committed to Christ. Unity is a must for the advancement of a kingdom & that is Why UNITY COMMANDS BLESSINGS.

Pr-requisites to unity (Eph 4) 

• Having the right attitude towards unity, Eph 4:1-3, whereas attitude is not feelings, it is a choice. Attitude is more important than your past, money e.t.c

The right attitudes;

* Contentment towards self, Phi 4:11-13, Eph 4:8-9 "The way up is down". He who abase will surely abound. If you find yourself abasing, be rest assured or have faith that you will abound.

• Being contented towards our fellow man (Eph 4, Rom 12:9-18)

• Contentment towards GOD and His words (Eph 4:3). Where there is unity there is growth.
Unity opens the door to fresh anointing. Unity is not for the benefit of the church but for our personal benefit.

UNITY BREAKERS
¤ Quest for position
¤ Quest for recognition
¤ Quest for prominence
¤ Quest for fame.

It takes spirituality to subdue these breakers.

Meditation: EPHESIANS 4

                STAY BLESSED!!!

ACCESSING THE REALM OF SIGNS. IS 7:17

The first access to the realm of signs is SALVATION or NEW BIRTH.

Being α̲̅ "new man" is what re-positions a man for signs. John 20:21 It is not religion that positions a man for signs, it is a spiritual thing. A man's spirit needs to be renewed for him to be a candidate of signs. A sign is a proof of an event that Jesus died on the cross and God raised him from the dead. We are a proof of signs, to show forth God's power, glory and to praise His name.

WHY SIGNS? Is 14:24-27 

• We are the land of God.

• Sign is a finger of God

• Signs separate people in the light from people in the dark.

• Signs separate us from the world Luke 4:14 We are not just Spirits, we are gods, to rule and reign here on earth.

PR-REQUISITES TO ENCOUNTER THE POWER OF GOD 

• Be thirsty. Psalms 63:1&2 God doesn't empower those who don't thirst for the power.

• Stay focused. 2 kings 2:9-12

• Pray with all your heart God has empowered us with a platform of prayer. In prayer, we prepare ourselves to possess our possessions.

  We also have to know that Magic and signs are two different things just like light and darkness, MAGIC is the FINGER OF THE DEVIL. One other thing you need in order to access the realm of Signs is your understanding of your status.
Deuteronomy 18:9-13 You must enhance the understanding of your new status.

Lastly, signs and wonders are the fingers of GOD. Is 8:18....

 I AM FOR SIGNS!!!!!

FAITHFUL AND FERVENT CHRISTIANS: FEAR

FAITHFUL AND FERVENT CHRISTIANS: FEAR: FEAR NOT CAUSES OF FEAR Fear is reigning over many people's lives,there are 3 main causes of fear Timidity Inability to digest the word ...

BE ENCOURAGED

The bad situation you find yourself in does not mark the end of everything,it just tells you that you should look within yourself and bring out the strength,zeal and ability in you so as to move ahead.Bad situations mark the beginning of new and good breakthroughs if and only if you get the information being passed to you by the situation as stated above

GOD'S SEARCH FOR A VESSEL

(Psalm 115:16)
The Lord has given the earth to men so that He can do His work on earth through men.We are God's vessel on earth (a vessel is a container used for STORING liquids so that people can drink/enjoy the liquid in it) likewise human beigns are containers for storing liquids(liquids in this sense are the heavenly gifts/resources).
God is looking for a man(container) that has the requirements to be able to hold heavenly resources(liquids),God will not stop searching and He won't search in a hurry.There are certain requirements that a man must posses in order to be the chosen vessel,they are:
1) complete holiness
2) good heart condition(1 sam 16:7)
3) you must have divine approval and divine interruption
4) hold fast to faith and good conscience
5) you must be weaned from sin
6) you must have divine utterance(Luke 5:1-3).
Do you have these requirements? Do you not have them? Are you ready to be that God's chosen vessel? God is searching,allow Him to find these requirements in you.

1 sam 13:14, Ezekiel 33:20

MAKING YOUR LIFE MEANINGFUL

How many of us believe that our lives have a meaning,it has a meaning and it is for a purpose,for us to know the meaning of our lives,we have to be tied to Christ,the meaning of our lives can only be revealed to us when we are tied to Christ and we live in accordance to His(Christ) will,many people in the world today have and are going astray,living in darkness,they don't know what to live for,simply because they have not found out the meaning of their lives,if they had,they would not be in the situation they are now.
Our lives will forever be meaningless to us if it is not tied and connected with Christ.For instance; a television set and an electric socket,if there is no wire connecting the television to the socket,the television will not function,so now,we are the television set and Christ is the socket,the wire connecting us to Christ is our Faith,if our faith is dead or broken,then our lives won't work,it will be meaningless and useless.
Finally,in order to know the meaning of our lives and also to let our lives function,then our lives must be connected to Christ by our faith,GOD BLESS US ALL.

GOD'S GRACE BROUGHT YOU TO 2012

It's a glorious and joyous thing to be among the people that are alive to see year 2012,GOD BE PRAISED.
For us to be alive to see this year is not by our own doing nor by our might nor by our wisdom,it is just by the grace of God over us,this grace we must always acknowledge in our lives,the reason why so many people,even christians are not alive to see this year is just that they fail to acknowledge God's grace in their lives,so my advices to us all this year is to acknowledge God's grace in our lives and we should not missuse God's grace,Lot and his family were given the grace to leave their city because of the destruction that was to befall the city,God commanded then not to look back,but Lot's wife missused that grace that was given to them by looking back and she was destroyed by turning to a pillar of salt.
Let us acknowledge and not missuse God's grace in our lives.SHALOM

CHRISTMAS TALK

Let me start by wishing my favored readers a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Christmas as we all know is the season when our saviour was born,a season to rejoice,but not to rejoice in the worldly side,it's a time of spiritual joy,many people celebrate christmas in the wrong way,for example,celebrating christmas in a hotel with whores,in a club house,drinking to stupour and the likes,that is not Christmas celebration,i call that celebration of failure,we need to celebrate it with prayers,hymns,praises,showing love to one another and merriment in a Godly way.Finally,we must be cautious not to be carried away by merriment during this period and we must listen attentively to the messages that Christmas is trying to pass across to us.GOD BLESS YOU!!! Happy Christmas and happy new year

The word of God contains the power of healing and salvation
The of God gives hope,knowledge and strenght
The word of God cleanses

FEAR

FEAR NOT
CAUSES OF FEAR
Fear is reigning over many people's lives,there are 3 main causes of fear

1. Timidity
2. Inability to digest the word of God
3. Faithlessness

   Inability to digest the word of God applies to people that don't read the Bible,they just have the Bible for having sake,they are not deep-rooted in the word of God and are not able to claim God's promises hst are written in the Bible.Faithlessness is also embed in this because if you don't read the Bible,you can't know what faith is.
   Timidity is a state of being shy and nervous,in this state,you won't be able to stand your feet in a difficult situation.

OVERCOMING FEAR
   In order to overcome fear,there are certain things that you should do;

1. Digesting the word of God
2. Using the word of God
3. Praying constantly

   Digesting God's word means to read.understand and meditate on God's word,Hebrews 4:12 says "For the word of God is living and active..." when you digest it,it lives inside you,gives you courage and strength to withstand hardships because it is active. 2 Timothy 1:7 says "For God did not giveus a spirit of timidity but a spirit of POWER and patience and love" when you read this,you meditate on it,God has given you a spirit of power,isn't it great?,then you say to yourself when God has given me power,who can I not confront? Hallelujah!
   Using the word of God means to say those words to yourself,use it when praying and in times of difficulties you continue to say it to the difficult situations.God made so many promises in the Bible,so,when praying,take those words and use it (with faith) to pray and God will do it.Isaiah 54:4 "Fear not,for you will not be ashamed..."proclaim this to yourself by using it in your prayer and speak it always
   Finally,when you don't pray,you can't overcome fear,prayer is the key.Praying,digesting God's word with faith helps you to overcome fear.
        GOD IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP!!!
 

Christ Is There To Help

Christ Is There To Help

It's All Yours

Yeah,it's all yours,many will wonder what this means,it simply mean everything that is in this world belongs to you,the Bible talks about this in 1 Corinthians 3:21 & 22,many people are not aware of this fact and that is why so many people always pray in the wrong way and for the wrong things,when God says all things are yours and you still keep praying that God should give you money,food e.t.c though the Bible says in Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it shall be given unto you..." but these (material things) are not what you should ask because they are already yours,examples of things that you need to ask are : The will of God for your life,spiritual strength,grace,wisdom e.t.c Solomon did not ask for money nor any worldly things,he asked for wisdom and he became wise,and then God gave him money,houses,horses,clothes e.t.c so when you ask for spiritual things, you are assured of other things.

Yeah,it's all yours,many will wonder what this means,it simply mean everything that is in this world belongs to you,the Bible talks about this in 1 Corinthians 3:21 & 22,many people are not aware of this fact and that is why so many people always pray in the wrong way and for the wrong things,when God says all things are yours and you still keep praying that God should give you money,food e.t.c though the Bible says in Matthew 7:7 Ask and it shall be given unto you

It's All Yours

Bad discipleship is being practised in the world to day,it is characterised by claiming to be a true christian through your word (preaching the Gospel truth) but your actions contradict what you preach,for instance,a man that preaches forgiveness but he himself keeps malice with people,that is a good example of bad discipleship,others are love of money other than love of God,love of pleasure other than love of God,treachery,slander e.t.c. All these things have been said to happen as recorded in 2 Timothy 3:1-9 which are signs of the 'last days' (days before the coming of Christ), with these things happening now,it definately shows and tells us that the last days are here,it will be better if we take heed.

Bad Discipleship
