T in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – ThANKsGiViNG: #TakesPreparation

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 22^nd December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

Let’s wrap up this series on D.E.L.I.G.H.T (based on Psalm 37 vs. 4 – “DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”) – by looking at the T as ThANKsGiViNG.

The book of Psalms 100:4 says: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

Yesterday we said, ThANKsGiViNG is the password we need in order to be able to enter to the presence of God. This means thanksgiving and praise are to be present in us, in our hearts and minds before we bow down before Him, before we join other people in worship.

As we continue in this 11^th hour (season of harvest) – another thing to note about ThANKsGiViNG is that… it takes preparation!!

We need to be determined and be prepared in our hearts before we can really give thanks to God. We are to come to worship with hearts and minds that have been consecrated, set apart, made holy for the Lord. We are to come ready, focused, serious, knowing what we are about. We are to come having meditated on who God is and what He has done. We must have allowed our hearts and minds to dwell on the goodness of God. We are to come having acknowledged His greatness and His grace. We are to come to the throne of grace – cleansed by the blood and received the grace to be holy in worship. We are to come into His presence prayerfully.

My dear! no matter how the situation is – we must purpose in our hearts to come prepared to worship Christ the King.

Have a Thank-FULL Thursday!!

Loving Regards,

I would be rounding up this series on D.E.L.I.G.H.T (based on Psalm 37 vs. 4 – “DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”) – by taking some time to look at the T as ThANKsGiViNG – Giving of Thanks… act of giving thanks… act of gratitude… grateful appreciation of favor… an expression of thanks… etcetera.

T in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – ThANKsGiViNG — Enter into…

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 20^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

Wrapping up this series on D.E.L.I.G.H.T (based on Psalm 37 vs. 4 – “DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”) – by looking at the T as ThANKsGiViNG – Giving of thanks… act of giving thanks… act of gratitude… grateful appreciation of favor… an expression of thanks… etcetera. The book of Psalms 100:4 says – “ENTER INTO His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name” (NIV)

The Psalmist is admonishing us to “Enter into God’s gate with thanksgiving….”– To “Enter into” is to go into… To “Enter into” implies that an action is required… To “Enter into” means to participate in something… To “Enter into” signifies a purposeful forward advancement… To “Enter into” means to get involved and take part in something… To “Enter into” signifies a move from the current position…

My dear! The Word of the Lord coming to us this 11^th hour (harvest season) is that – We must enter into God’s gate… We must move into the presence of the Lord. We must make every effort to give thanks to God on a daily. We must do something physical – lift up our hands, bow down, close our eyes as we worship the King of kings. We must get involved by commanding our body, soul and spirit to praise the Lord. We must re-position ourselves so that we can participate fully in giving thanks to God with everything that is within us. We must move from our current (weary/downcast) state to a position where our heart is free to worship the One who is able to make a way where there is no way.

As we continue in this new day – let’s move from our current position and take those actions required for us to be able to enter into God’s gate.

Have a Thank-Full Tuesday!!

Kind Regards,

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 19^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

I would be rounding up this series on D.E.L.I.G.H.T (based on Psalm 37 vs. 4 – “DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”) – by taking some time to look at the T as ThANKsGiViNG – Giving of Thanks… act of giving thanks… act of gratitude… grateful appreciation of favor… an expression of thanks… etcetera.

My dear! At this 11^th hour (hour of divine harvest) – Let’s look back at the past 11.5 months of this year… Let’s take stock of all that we have been through this year… Let’s count our blessings and name them one by one… Let’s take time to thank God for everything He has done since the beginning of the year… Let’s take time to show appreciation to God for all that He is doing in and through our life… Let’s take time to expression our gratitude to God for all He has brought us through…Let’s take time to thank God for what He will do these remaining days of 2011.

As we continue in this great day – let’s enter into God’s gates and give Him all the glory because if it has not been the Lord on our side –where would we be!!

Enjoy a ThANKsGiViNG day!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: #ProperTime!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 14^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!!

My dear! The Word coming to us this new day is that: If we don’t grow weary the harvest will definitely take place at the #ProperTime. If we don’t get tired of sowing the right seeds we will reap a bountiful harvest at the right time. If we don’t get fed up of doing good, we will reap the fruit of our labor in due time. If we don’t grow weary of sowing the seeds of love, we reap loving relationships. If we don’t get tired of doing the right things we will reap a good life when the time is right.

Keep on sowing those seeds to please the spirit and be expectant because your harvest will definitely come at the #ProperTime

Loving Regards,

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: #dontquit!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 15^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!!

….we will reap a harvest if we do not give up (NIV) …. we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. (MSG)… we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint (AMPL) …. we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. (NLT)….. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don’t give up. (CEV)

The Word of encouragement coming to us this new day is that: Harvest is bound to happen if we #don’tquit. We will definitely experience spiritual harvest if we dont stop praying & believing. We will surely experience a bountiful harvest in our situation if we don’t get tired of sowing the right seeds. We will have a harvest of blessing in our marriage, career, business if we don’t relax in our efforts. We will be rewarded with a great financial harvest if we don’t faint in giving to the poor and the work of the Kingdom. We will reap a harvest of good things if we #dontquit doing the right things.

As we continue in this season of harvest – I decree an open heaven and a release of spiritual, physical and financial harvest into our lives this season in Jesus name. Amen!!

Have an expectant heart as you go into this new day!!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: #NotBeWeary!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 12^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!!

My dear! the truth coming to us this harvest season is that: #NotBeWeary… #NotBeWeary is something that is important when it comes to seedtime and harvest. But as we know

#NotBeWeary is definitely not an easy thing to do especially when everything seems to be going contrary to our expectation and when we can’t see the way forward.

May God help us and grant us the grace and strength we need to ‘keep on keeping on” in spite of the way things look like around us.

Have a “weary-free” day!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: #Spiritualfruit!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 8^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!!

Still continuing this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T we said the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is about reaping whatsoever we sow — let’s continue looking at Paul’s admonition of this concept of harvest using the scripture in the book of Galatians 6 verse 8b, which says: You will always harvest what you plant…..whoever sows to please the SPIRIT, from the SPIRIT will reap ETERNAL LIFE. In this scripture Paul was admonishing us that the #spiritual is also important with Seedtime and Harvest so we should endeavor to sow to please the Spirit so that we can reap a godly life. And he goes further in the book of Galatians 5:22 & 23 to list the some of the #Spiritualfruit that people harvest when they take time to sow to please the Spirit ~ But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (NLT)….But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely (MSG)

As we continue in this harvest season– let’s make every effort to understand and sow things to please the spirit so that will a good and godly harvest.

Enjoy your season of spiritual harvest!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: Also the #Spiritual!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 7^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!!

In this scripture, Paul is admonishing us to endeavor to sow seed to please the Spirit so that we can reap eternal life. We should endeavor to be lead by the Spirit so we will reap a good harvest. We should allow the Holy Spirit to do the work in us so that we can harvest a crop of real life. We should endeavor to walk by faith so that we will reap the fruit of our prayers. We should endeavor to please God with our life. We should seek to cultivate the affection/character of the Holy Spirit. We should endeavor to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. We should seek to use our worldly substance to promote spiritual things. We should yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Word coming this new day is that – The #spiritual is also important with Seedtime and Harvest – so we should endeavor to sow to please the Spirit so that we can reap a godly life.

As we continue in tis harvest season– let’s seek to understand those things we can sow to the spirit so that we can please God with our life..

Enjoy your season of spiritual harvest!

H in H.A.R.V.E.S.T — RE: Fleshy seeds!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 6^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

Yesterday we said we should be careful not to only sow to please our flesh because sowing “fleshy seeds” because one day we will definitely reap the results of every of our actions/words. And we saw the list the kind of things people harvest when they sow “fleshy seeds” in the book of Galatians 5:19-21 —Let’s re-visit this again today using 2 other translations of the Bible.

Contemporary English Version (CEV): People’s desires make them give in to immoral ways, filthy thoughts, and shameful deeds. They worship idols, practice witchcraft, hate others, and are hard to get along with. People become jealous, angry, and selfish. They not only argue and cause trouble, but they are envious. They get drunk, carry on at wild parties, and do other evil things as well. I told you before, and I am telling you again: No one who does these things will share in the blessings of God’s kingdom.

Message (MSG): it is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn’t the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God’s kingdom.

Paul says here that he could go on and on about the results that sowing “fleshy seeds” will eventually bring to the life of those who always trying to get their own way and keep on sowing to please their flesh/sinful nature.

As we continue in this season of harvest – let’s make a daily commitment to avoid “fleshy seeds” because the harvest that these kinds of seeds produce are not always the best.

Enjoy a “last minute” miracle this season!

Temidayo

H in H.A.R.V.E.S.T: Fleshy seeds!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 5^th December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T — we said that the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is based on reaping whatsoever we sow because it would certainly be a surprise if we planted corn and tomato came up. As it is a natural law to harvest what we plant so also is it true other areas as well. Let’s look further at Paul’s admonition in the book of Galatians 6 verse 8a, which says: Those who sow or live only to satisfy their own sinful nature (flesh/physical desires) will HARVEST decay and death from that sinful nature…. (NLT)

Paul is highlighting that we should be careful not to only sow to please our flesh because sowing “fleshy seeds” i.e. following the desires of our flesh/sinful nature can lead to sorrow and evil. And he goes further in the book of Galatians 5:19-21 to list the kind of things people harvest when they sow “fleshy seeds” — When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

The Word coming to us today is that: we should be careful not to sow “fleshy seeds” which will eventually lead to a harvest of some of the results listed above. We should be careful not to practice the acts of the flesh. We should be careful not to be controlled by the works of the flesh.

As we continue in this season of harvest – let’s be conscious of the seeds we sow on a daily basis because one day we will reap the results of every of our actions/words.

Enjoy a “last minute” harvest today!

The struggle is over!!

TGIFriday!!

Thank God for today the 2^nd day of December 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we start this new day – let’s be expectant of some last minute miracles. We have been in this place long enough and the mountainside has been rough. But now is the time to reap the harvest of the seeds we have sown. Now is the set time for God’s favor. Be blessed as you listen to: “The struggle is over” by Youth For Christ – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMvDKt8rmr4

[youtube]FMvDKt8rmr4[/youtube]

As you go into this new day and weekend – be encouraged and declare: The struggle is over… The heartache is over… The trouble is over… Your struggle is over for you.!

Be expectant of some last minute move of God this last month of the year 2011.

H in H.A.R.V.E.S.T: Establising covenant…

Hey dear, Happy New Month!!

Thank God for today 1^st December 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day. May we experience some “last minute” miracles ~ this last month of the year in Jesus name. Amen!

As we start this new month of December, we’ll continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – the understanding that it is the 11^th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s look at the scripture in the book of Genesis 17 vs. 7: I’m establishing my covenant between me and you, a covenant that includes your descendants, a covenant that goes on and on and on, a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants. In this scripture God told Abraham that He was going to ESTABLISH His covenant between him (Abraham) and his descendants (children). “To establish” means: to set up; to place or settle in a secure position or condition; to set (a thing or person) in a place and make it stable there.

As you and I are descendants of Abraham, the Word coming to us this last month of the year 2011 is that: God is going to establish His covenant (word, promises, prophesy) in our life at the last minute (11^th hour).

My dear! As we go into the last month of the year 2011 – let’s be encouraged because God going to establish and settle every area of our life this month. Let’s be expectant this 11^th hour because God is going to cause us to be recognized and favored. Let’s be expectant this 11^th hour because God is going to bring stability to every area of our life. Let’s be expectant because God is setting us up for some 11^th hour miracles this month.
You might be thinking how can this happen?… it’s only 31 days remaining till the end of the year. But I want to assure you that: God is going to establish His covenant with us because He is not a man that He should lie. Once He has spoken He will bring it to pass.

As we continue to take time to sow the right seed – we will indeed reap the harvest of this word in Genesis 17:7 at this 11^th hour in Jesus Name. Amen!.

Have a blessed month!!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: Not just the physical!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 30^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day of the Lord. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”.

We said yesterday that the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is based on reaping whatsoever we sow — let’s continue looking at Paul’s admonition of this concept of harvest using the scripture in the book of Galatians 6 verse 8a, which says: Those who sow or live only to satisfy their own sinful nature (flesh/physical desires) will HARVEST decay and death from that sinful nature…. (NLT)

In this scripture, Paul is highlighting that we should be careful not to only sow to please our flesh because sowing to the flesh can lead to destruction.

My dear! The truth of the Word coming to us this new day is that: We should be careful not to sow seeds that will only benefit our physical life. We should be careful that we don’t do things that will only please our sensual nature. We should be careful not to do things that is only good for our physical appearance. We should be careful not to do things that only suits us. We should be careful not to take actions that satisfies only our evil nature. We should be careful not to do things that will satisfy only our fleshy desires. We should be careful not to do things that will cause us to live out of the control of the Spirit of God.

As we continue in this great day – may God grant us the grace not to sow only “fleshy” seeds so that we will reap an abundance harvest and not destruction from the seeds sown.

Have an awesome harvest season!

Loving Regards,

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: whatever we sow!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 29^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”.

We said yesterday that the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is about reaping after its kind – this concept of harvest is also highlighted by Paul in Galatians 6 verse 7, which says: Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!” ~ Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant (NLT) ~ Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. (AMPL) ~ You cannot fool God, so don’t make a fool of yourself! You will harvest what you plant. (CEV) ~ Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (NIV)

This scripture speaks volume in itself – it’s saying basically that: We will reap whatever we sow! Whatever meaning whatsoever J — So let’s not think we can fool God. Let’s not think we can get away with sowing bad seed and expect to reap anything good. Let’s not fool ourselves thinking we can deceive God by our actions because we will reap the reward of everything we do. Let’s not think we can mock God by the things we say because we will reap the fruit of our lips (our words). Let’s not think we can play God by the kind of seeds we sow and expect to harvest anything good. Let’s not deceive ourselves because we will reap the fruit of the kind of seeds we sow into our life.

My dear! The truth of the Word coming to us this new day is that: We should not deceive ourselves because one day we will reap whatsoever (good or bad) that we sow in this life.

May God grant us the grace to consciously sow the right kind of seeds – so that we will reap a bountiful harvest of good things in our life..

Have a glorious harvest season!

Loving Regards,

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: After its kind

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 28^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”.

We said principle of Seedtime and Harvest is a law from God – then God has to live by His own rules and ensure that he supports and operate within the confines of this principle. Another scripture to support this concept is Genesis 1:11 which says: “And God said, ’Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:’ and it was so.” At creation, God commanded the earth to bring forth seeds that will produce after its kind. The apple will always provide a seed that will reproduce the apple. The loving person will reproduce loving people just as the violent will create violence all around them. A seed can only reproduce after its own kind. It’s a law of nature. God has stamped in us an image of Himself so we are reproducing ourselves in our children, our friends and our world.

The truth coming to us this new day is that: The principle of Seedtime and Harvest is about reaping after its kind. Looking at a fruit will show what kind of seed produced it and what kind of fruit will come from its seed. The question is: What kind of seed are we sowing? What kind of words are we speaking ~positive or negative words? What kind of people are we allowing to influences us? What kind of choices are we making? What kind of example are we showing our children/siblings ~ good or bad? What kind of life are we living?

May God help us as we take stock of things – so that with this principle of “reap after its kind”, we will experience a bountiful harvest of the good we have sown.

Have a wonderful harvest season!

Loving Regards,

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: Hundredfold return!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 23^rd November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this month in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”

Yesterday, we started by saying if the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is a law from God – then God has to live by His own rules and ensure that he supports and operate within the confines of this principle. Another translation of the scripture in the book of Genesis Chapter 26 vs.12 says: Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year REAPED a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him (NIV) – When Isaac planted his crops that year, he HARVESTED a hundred time more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. (NLT) God blessed Isaac’s seed and it came back to him in form of a good harvest

From this scripture, we can say that the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is about a hundredfold multiplication – because God always ensures that every seed that is sown multiplies. God is bound to release the blessing of a hundredfold return on all of the seed that we have sown that qualifies.

So my dear! Just like we get a return on our investment (shares, bond, real estate etc) in the financial world – the word of the encouragement coming to us at this 11^th hour is that: we will experience a hundredfold return on the investment we have made into our spiritual life. We will experience a hundredfold return on the love we have sown into our relationships. We will experience a hundredfold return on the time we have invested in our career/business. We will experience a hundredfold return on the time we have invested into bringing up our children. We will experience a hundredfold return on the handwork we have put into our jobs/studies/career/business etc. We will experience a hundredfold return on the service we have rendered in our local churches. We will experience a hundredfold return on every good seed we have sown in every aspect of life.

As we continue in this 11^th hour – let’s continue to believe for a hundredfold return on the all physical, financial & spiritual investment we have made this year 2011.

Enjoy a bountiful harvest-time!

Loving Regards,

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 22^nd November 2011 – let’s rejoice & be glad in this new day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life today in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22)

We said the concept of Seedtime and Harvest is a law and the nature of the seed is also important. Another thing about this concept is that – Seeds always bring back more than you sow i.e. seed multiplication. And if the principle of Seedtime and Harvest a law from God – then God has to live by His own rules and make every effort to operate within the confines of this principle. As the scripture in the book of Genesis Chapter 26 vs.12 says: Isaac planted grain and had a GOOD HARVEST that same year. The LORD blessed him, (CEV) – Isaac planted crops in that land and took in a HUGE HARVEST. God blessed him (MSG) – In this scripture, we are being told that – God blessed Isaac’s seed and it came back to him (the same year) in form of a good harvest. The Lord’s hand was upon the seed that Isaac planted and he reaped a huge harvest in the same season.

The word coming to us 2day is that – the principle of Seedtime and Harvest is about “seed multiplication” and God will always ensure there is multiplication of the seeds sown. So let’s trust God to multiply the seed we have sown in every area of our life. Let’s believe God to cause a bountiful harvest of the seed we have sown into the life of people. Let’s be encouraged knowing that there will be a fulfillment of seed of the Word that we have sown into our situation.

As we continue in this 11^th hour – let’s be expectant of that sudden & last minute harvest from every seed we have sown this year 2011.

Enjoy a wonderful harvest time!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: Nature of the Seed!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today 21^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this month in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”

We said the concept of Seedtime and Harvest is a law and a seed is required for the law to be fulfilled. Another thing about this concept is the “Nature of the Seed” As we know that seed produces after it’s own kind. This means whatever harvest one expects in life, one must start with a seed of like kind.

So the word coming to us today is that: the “nature of the seed” is very important. If we want an increased awareness of what love is, then we have to sow seeds of love. If we want a harvest of wisdom, then we have to sow seeds of wisdom into our life through studying. If we want to enjoy good relationships in life, then we must sow lovely and godly seeds into people around us. if we want to enjoy good health, then we have to sow seeds of healthy & well balanced diet into our life. If we want to harvest success in our career/business, then we have to sow seeds of time into what we are doing. If we want to reap a harvest of prosperity, then we have to sow seeds of finance. If we want to enjoy a good spiritual life, then we have to sow seeds of fellowship with God and fellow believers.

As we continue in this 11th hour season – let’s be conscious of the nature of the seeds we sow so that we can reap the harvest that we desire.

Enjoy a blessed seed-sowing time!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest: Seed is required!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 17^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22- “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”

Yesterday we said the concept of Seedtime and Harvest is a law – it’s a constant and will never cease. Another thing to note about this concept is that: Seed is required for this law to be fulfilled. Seeds must be planted, grow & multiply for harvest to happen. Just like a corn seed planted grows up and produces ears with rows and rows more corn seeds.

The Word coming to us today is that: Seed is required! The seed must grow, multiply and mature for there to be a bountiful harvest. As we said everything we think, say and do is a seed – so this seed will grow up and multiply i.e produce many more of their own kind. Therefore, we had better like the seeds we’re planting because they will multiply. We had better be careful what kind of seeds we’re planting because they will multiply into harvest that we have to reap. We had better plant the right kind of seeds into our life because they will grow and produce more of their own kind.

As we continue in this 11^th hour season – remember the seed is important in the kind of harvest we reap, so let’s make conscious effort to plant the right kind of seeds into our life and those around us.

Have a blessed and highly favored day!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest – It’s a law!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 16^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus name. Amen!

We started considering the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! Let’s continue this concept of Harvest as the H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T by looking further at the scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22 – “while the earth remains, SEEDTIME and HARVEST…shall not cease”.

What this scripture is saying here is that: ” Seedtime and Harvest” is the foundation principle and law within which God operate. And it will remain in force as long as the earth remains. Seedtime & Harvest is the basis or foundational principle of all that God has done, created, is doing, or will ever do. When we think of this concept the most important thing to understand is that Seedtime & Harvest is a law – It doesn’t change. It is not a probability or something that happens sometimes. It is constant, always true and works every single time.

So basically the truth coming to us this new day is that: Seedtime & Harvest is a law ~ We must understand and operate within this principle in every aspect of life. We must understand that Seedtime & Harvest affects everyone and everything God has created. We must understand that everything we think, say or do has its basis in this concept. We must understand that seed is an important part of this concept.

As we go thru this season – let’s remind ourselves that “Seedtime & Harvest is a law” ~ sowing seeds and reaping a harvest from seeds sown will never cease to happen as long as there is life.

Have a fruitful day!

H in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – Harvest

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 15^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

Yesterday we started looking at the concept of Harvest which kind of ties in with the Eleventh hour” i.e. It’s the 11th hour (last minute) and it is harvest time!! And if we remember earlier in the year, we have been trying to understand what it means to Delight in the Lord as Psalm 37;4 says: “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”.

So far we have looked at D.E.L.I.G.H.T under the following categories: Decrees, Expressions, Love, Influence, Godconnection and now we want to look at the H – Harvest and how it relates to delighting in God.

The scripture in the book of Genesis 8:22 says – “while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest…shall not cease”. The 1^st question is: Does the earth still remain? If it does – then for each seed that is sown, there must be a time of harvest. This law of sowing and reaping can never cease/stop. Just like farmers must plants their seed in the spring in order for them to have something to harvest ~ because if no seeds are planted then there’s no crop to harvest that year. So also we need to sow good seed into every aspects of our life in order for us to be able to reap something good out of life.

My dear! The word coming to us this 11^th hour is that: It’s harvest time! ~ but we must be prepared to plant some seeds order for us to be able to have something to harvest.

Note: See some archived messages on “Harvest” by Pastor Andy on: http://www.wocconline.org/livebroadcast/

As we continue in this 11^th hour – let’s make conscious effort to plant those seeds and expect a bountiful harvest.

It is Harvest Time!!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 14^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute/sudden miracles. Another concept that comes to mind is “Harvest” as the bible says in the book of Genesis 8: 22 — “As long as the earth endures, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease. This scripture is a law that God has set into motion for every aspect of life. This means there will never be a time that we won’t have an opportunity to sow and reap. There will always be a time to plant seed and a time to harvest. But if we are going to receive the results promised then we must operate according to the Law set forth by God. This means if we desire to harvest something good then we must make sure we plant some good seeds. If we have planted some seeds we must be prepared for the harvest.

My dear! The Word coming to us at this 11th hour is that: It is Harvest Time!! It is time to reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). It’s time to reap everything we have sown into every aspect of our life. It’s time to reap the time we have sown into our friendships/relationships. It’s time to reap the hard work we have sown into our jobs/business/ministry/career. Its time to reap the love we have sown into our families/marriages. It’s time for us to reap the good diet we have sown into our health. It’s time to reap from the different investments we have made. It’s time to reap from those generous seeds we have sown. It’s time for us to reap the prayers we have sown into our life and those of our loved ones.

As we continue in this new month/week/day – let’s start to prepare ourselves because: It is Harvest Time!!

Have a blessed week

The 11th hour – Example #4

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 10^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute move of God and the Word “Suddenly” i.e. we experiencing some unexpected and sudden move of God in our situation at this 11^th hour. Let’s look further at the scripture in Luke 7: 12-14 — ¹² A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.¹³ When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said. ¹⁴ Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped.“Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.”

In this story we were told that Jesus was moved with compassion when He saw the widow whose only son had died. Jesus would have seen some things for Him to recognize who the dead boy’s mother was. He must have noticed the woman specially because of her state i.e. physical appearance – swollen/tired eyes from crying, type/color of clothes (black), condition of her face, emotional disposition etc.

My dear! The Word of the encouragement coming to us today is that: God has seen the state of our heart/mind… God has seen those “swollen” eyes… God has seen that “desperate” situation… God has seen the condition of things in our relationships, finances, health, job etc … God has seen how dark everything is… God has seen the state of things in our life. And He is ready to come through for us at the 11^th hour. He is about to bring life to every dead situation at the 11^th hour. He is about to touch that desperate situation. He is about to wipe our tears away at the 11^th hour.

As we continue in this month 11/11 – let’s be expectant of those 11^th hour miracles & be encouraged becos’ God is not a man that He should lie ~ He will definitely fulfill His part of the deal.

Have a Thank-FULL Thursday!

Eleventh Hour – Example # 3

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 9^th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute move of God and the Word “Suddenly” i.e. we experiencing some unexpected and sudden move of God in our situation at this 11^th hour. Let’s look at the scripture in Luke 7: 12-13 — ¹² A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.¹³ When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. And he said “Don’t cry!”

In this story we were told that as Jesus approached the gate of the city – he came across the funeral procession for a widow’s only son. Hmmm! This woman was already a widow and has now lost her only son and only means of support. This woman’s life story is an 11^th hour situation, one in which in which all hope has been lost, a situation in which there is no solution in the natural, a situation in which every support is gone, an embarrassing situation as people will be asking questions like – why would she lose both her hubby & her only child? Is there something wrong with her? Is she the one who killed them both?, a situation in which all doors has been shut, a situation in which there is emptiness and loneliness, a situation in which the future appears bleak, a depressing situation etcetera. But the Bible then goes on to say that as Jesus saw the woman – his heart was moved with compassion and said “Don’t cry!”

My dear! The Word of encouragement coming to us at this 11^th hour of life is “Don’t cry!” – No matter how hopeless everything around us looks – God is saying: “Don’t cry!” So let’s wipe those tears because the God that comes through at the 11^th hour is with us. Emmanuel our God is with us!

Have a joy-filled day!

The 11th hour – Example #2

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 8th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute move of God and the Word “Suddenly” i.e. we experiencing some unexpected and sudden move of God in our situation at this 11^th hour. Let’s look at the scripture in Exodus 2: 23-24 – 23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their cries, and he remembered the agreement he had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

In this story, the Israelites had gone through 400 years of slavery – affliction in the hands of the Egyptians. 400 years… Waow!! 400 years is a very long time for anyone to be afflicted. I am sure at some point they would have thought would God’s promise ever come to pass in their life. But the scripture then goes on to say that the people continued to groan in their slavery and a time came that God heard the deep cry of their heart and remembered the covenant He has made with their fathers (Abraham, Isaac & Jacob). Suddenly! God heard the deep cry of their heart.

Like the Israelites — you might be at this point where you are thinking – Will God’s promise ever come to pass. Will I ever experience the divine intervention of God in this situation. Will things ever get better. Will I ever find the will of God for my life. Will there ever be a change in my situation. Will I ever be financially stable. Will the Word that God has spoken ever be fulfillment in my life. Will I ever get an answer to my prayers (those questions I have been asking).

My dear! The Word of encouragement coming to us today is that: God has heard these thoughts… God has heard the cry of our heart… God has noticed the seeds we have sown. And He has remembered His covenant/promise to us.

As we continue in this season – let’s be expectant of an 11th hour miracle this month. Let’s be expectant of some “last minute” opportunities. Let’s be expectant of a “sudden” change.

Have a glorious day!

Eleventh Hour – Example # 1

Thank God for today the 7th November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. experiencing some last minute move of God and the Word “Suddenly” i.e. experiencing some unexpected and sudden move of God at this 11^th hour. Let’s look at the scripture in the book of Acts 10: 30 – 31 Cornelius replied, “Four days ago I was praying in my house about this same time, three o’clock in the afternoon. SUDDENLY, a man in dazzling clothes was standing in front of me. 31 He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been noticed by God!

In this scripture we are told that – Suddenly a man in shining clothes (a representation of God) stood before Cornelius and told him that his prayer and all the things he has been doing for the poor has been noticed by God. The Word of God come to Cornelius suddenly and His life never remained the same.

My dear! God is also sending His Word to us today – God has heard those heartfelt prayers. God has noticed our labor of love towards people. God has heard the cry of our heart and our tears have been wiped away at this 11^th hour. God has remembered our good work and our reward has come at this 11^th hour. God has heard our prayers concerning that situation and we will experience a sudden change /shift. God has noticed our service to the people around and an unexpected blessing is on the way. God has seen our heart and our desires will be granted unto us at this 11^th hour. God has seen all the good seeds we have sown and the harvest has come at this 11^th hour.

Let’s be encouraged because it’s time to experience some 11^th hour miracles. Let’s rejoice and be glad because – it’s time to experience some sudden = “last minute” miracles.

Have a great day!

NOTHING JUST HAPPENS – Be encouraged!

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes! One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger. Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said “Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger.” The slave replied: “My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows “why” of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong! Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices. In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. According to them, it was not so complete to be offered to the gods. Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave that he received very affectionately. “My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?” “My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger, therefore, remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong.”

Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don’t be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong! You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows and remember NOTHING JUST HAPPENS…there is always a reason.

Suddenly...!

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 3^rd November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As we continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute move of God and the Word “Suddenly” i.e. we experiencing some unexpected and sudden move of God in our situation at this 11^th hour. Let’s look at the scripture in the book of Acts 2 vs. 2 – 3 – And SUDDENLY there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting; and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
This scripture says: And Suddenly – the disciples experienced a sudden move of God in the upper room and the whole room was filled with the presence/power of God and from that moment each person never remained the same.

With this same unction – I declare this new day: And suddenly… we will experience our 11^th hour miracle. And suddenly… a door of opportunity will be opened for us. And suddenly… we will experience a way out of no way in that situation. And suddenly… we will experience a bountiful harvest in those places we have sown. And suddenly… every chains (stronghold) preventing us from moving to our next level will be removed. And suddenly… we will experience a divine connection. And suddenly… we will experience a new beginning in our job/career/ministry/business. And suddenly… we will experience the touch from God that will change our life forever.

My dear! Let’s be encouraged and expectant as we continue in this season as – we are about to experience a sudden and unexpected move of God in our live at this 11^th hour (11/2011).

Enjoy a blessed and highly favored day.

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 2nd day November 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made. May we experience some “last minute moves” in our life this new month in Jesus Name. Amen!

As I continue to think about this month (11/11) in light of the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” i.e. we experiencing some last minute move of God; the word “suddenly” (unexpectedly) springs to my mind. The scripture in the book of Isaiah 48 vs.3 says I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of My mouth, and I announced them; SUDDENLY I did them, and they came to pass.
The Word of the Lord coming to us today is that: God who does things suddenly i.e. without warning is ready to take the center stage of our life; and when He comes in everything must align with His plan and purpose for our life. My dear! I want you to be expectant of some sudden occurrences from the God of “suddenly” this new month. Be prepared for a sudden move of the God in your ministry, marriage, career, business etc. Be expectant of the sudden disruption to every plan of the enemy as God takes over. Be ready for the sudden move of God in that situation that you and people have been tagged “impossible”. Be expectant and wait in anticipation of that 11th hour miracle that God is going to do in your relationships this season. Be prepared for a sudden harvest experience in those areas that you have sown – because seed time and harvest will never cease. God of “suddenly”…..is ready to do some unexpected things in our life so let’s continue to believe and be expectant of the sudden move of God in our situation at this 11th hour (11/2011)

Happy New month – The 11th hour

Hey dear,

Thank God for today the 1st day November 2011: the 11th month of the year 2011 – let’s rejoice and be glad in this new month & day that the Lord has made.

As I was thinking about this new month (11/11) the phrase: “The Eleventh hour” came to mind – 11th hour means the last minute – at the last possible time. People say things like “I turned the report in at the 11th hour”… just before the absolute deadline or “I made the decision at the 11th hour”… as late as possible.

In bible terms, the Eleventh hour is thought to allude to the parable of the laborers (Matthew 20:1-16), in which those workers hired at the 11th hour of a twelve-hour working day were paid the same amount as those who began in the first hour.With this in mind, I tag this 11th month of the year 2011 (11/11) as “a season of 11th hour miracles” – a time to experience ‘last minute’ intervention of God in our life & all that concerns us.

My dear! I agree with you as we start this month that – We will experience ‘last-minute’ miracles in the mighty Name of Jesus. We will experience the mighty move of God in that situation that people have thought is impossible. We will experience a ‘last-minute’ intervention in that ‘hopeless’ situation. We will experience a sudden change in that situation that we have been praying about. We will experience the healing power of God over that terminal sickness. We will experience a sudden breakthrough in our finances. We will experience the supernatural move of God in our relationship/ marriage/home. We will experience a sudden shift in that situation that we have been worrying about. We will experience a last-minute miracle in our job/ministry/business. We will see experience some unexpected doors of opportunity open unto us. We will experience major surprises this new month of November. We will experience harvest in places we have sown. We will experience some last-minute miracles in our life this season… in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen! My dear! God is ready to do all that He has purposed and planned for us so let’s believe and be expectant of those ‘last-minute’ moves in our life this new month of November. Happy New month once again — Rejoice as you wait in anticipation for those 11th hour miracles. Loving Regards, Temidayo

Itsalreadyalright

Hi Dear,

Thank God for the last day of October, Monday, the 31^st of October 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name! My prayer is that the blessing that God has prepared for us this new day will be ours in Jesus name. Amen!!
As we continue in this season – let’s be encourage ourselves again today as we look at the scripture in the book of James Chapter 1: 2 – 4:
2 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. 3 You know that under pressure i.e. when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
The Word of the Lord to us today is that you should consider it joy when we are going through tests, challenges, trials because God has allowed them to come our way for a reason. We should rejoice and be glad in those experiences because it is under pressure that our faith-life shows it true color and is developed.
My dear! Don’t try to give up on life because of what you are facing now… Don’t try to work things out in the way you feel it should be… Don’t say I won’t even bother about this anymore maybe God doesn’t want this or that for me… Don’t let the situation push you to make decisions that you’ll forever regret.
But instead — let the situation cause you to wait patiently for the timing of God. Let this situation cause you to draw close to God knowing fully well that His plan for you are good. Let this situation cause you to wait on God for His perfect will. Let this situation cause you to develop a strong character as you wait on God. Let the situation cause you to desire to become matured in the Lord. Let this situation cause you to wait for the time of harvest of the seeds you have sown. Let this situation cause joy to well up inside of you knowing that Jehovah sees, Jehovah knows and Jehovah is in control.

Consider it great joy… and remain blessed as you continue in this great day/week and make sure you see everything that you are going through as an opportunity for joy.

Have a joy-FULL week!!

Be blessed as you listen to this lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oknOA3aOnJA – “Already Alright” – from her ‘Mountain High…Valley Low’ album.

My dear! I believe it’s already alright because of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus as He said “it is finished” = it’s already done = It’s already alright!!

As you go into this weekend – be encouraged because God is not a man that He should lie whatever He said He’ll do He’ll bring to pass – so itsalreadyalright#

Have a blessed weekend

You may not know how or when….

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Thursday, the 27^th of October 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name! My prayer is that the blessing that God has prepared for us this new day will be ours in Jesus name. Amen!!
As we continue in this season – let’s be encourage ourselves again today because God is not a man! He doesn’t tell lies or change His mind. God always keeps His promises. Let’s look at the Word in the book of 2 Kings 3 vs.17 – 18: 17 For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain, but this valley is going to fill up with water and your army and your animals will drink their fill. 18 This is easy for GOD to do.

The Word of the Lord came to Elisha that he should tell the people that they won’t hear the wind blow neither will they see the rain that is meant to fall in order for the valley to be filled. But the fact is that the valley (trenches/holes) that have been prepared shall be filled i.e. they won’t understand how the water got to the valley. Just like God is telling us today that He is about to fill the dry valley of our life with water. He about to do something supernatural in our life. He is about to make a way out of no way.
So my dear! The Word of encouragement to you today is that: “You may not know how, you may not know when — but the dry valley shall be filled”.

We may not understand how anything will happen but God will bring to pass everything He has spoken concerning us. We may not see the way out in that difficult situation but God is working to bring us a perfect end. We may not understand what is happening about our marital life but God is working behind the scene. We may not know how that sickness will be healed but Jehovah Ropheka/Rapha will bring it to pass. We may not see how that breakthrough in business will come about but it will happen. We may not know how that promotion will happen at work but it will definitely come to pass. We may not understand our financial situation at the moment but Jehovah Jireh is making a way. We may not know how, we may not know when… but the faithful One will do it.
Be blessed as you go into this great day, remember you may not know how or when but know this for sure: “your valley shall be filled again”

Loving regards

Joy Has Come

Hi Dear,Thank God for today, Wednesday, the 26th of October 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off in Jesus Name! May God grant us the grace to continue to “hang in there” even in the face of all opposition. As we continue in this season – let’s be encouraged because God is not a man! He doesn’t tell lies or change His mind. God always keeps His promises. Today, let’s look at the Word of God in the book of Psalm 30:5b : The nights of crying your eyes out will give way to days of laughter (MSG) — Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. (AMP) — Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning (NLT)
My dear! you may look around you and see some things that’s making you cry… you may even have lost your joy over a particular situation… you may have a situation in your life that keeps challenging your faith… you may have something in your life that makes you sad any time you remember or think about it. But the Word of God to you today is that your joy is definitely coming in the morning: NOW!! TODAY!!
The truth about nature is that whenever there is night time (darkness) there is bound to be morning (daylight/). Just like you slept yesterday night and woke up into the daylight – a morning; so also it is that after a season of “darkness” everyone of us will experience “a morning” in our life.
My dear! Believe and agree with the Word that is coming to you today. Be encouraged today because your morning i.e. your joy has come: your morning of remembrance… your morning of favor… your morning of breakthrough… your morning of divine visitation… your morning of abundance… your morning of divine direction… your morning of deliverance… your morning of miracle… your morning of joy… your morning of divine intervention… your morning of new beginnings… has come.
Remain blessed as you continue in this day. No more crying! wipe your tears and start to walk in the light of this Word for your morning…your joy has come. NOW is your morning!!!

Loving Regards, Temidayo

Hi Dear,Thank God for today, Tuesday, the 25th of October 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off in Jesus Name! May God grant us the grace to continue to “hang in there” even in the face of all opposition. I just feel like encouraging someone (including myself) this bless day:
My dear! I want to tell you today that God loves you… I want you to know that Jehovah sees!

My dear! All you need to do is to “hang in there” in faith and you will see the hand of God upon your life as He fulfils His promise to you.

Hang in there! Hang in there! Hang in there!

Be blessed as you go into this NEW day with that assurance that God is in control, so hang in there!

#wordscattering#: Isaiah 3 vs. 10 – It is well!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Wednesday, the 28^th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name! My prayer today is that God will grant us the grace to continue to hang on in the face of all opposition… AMEN

Still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart. Today let’s look at the scripture in the book of Isaiah 3 vs.10 which says: Say to the righteous that IT SHALL BE WELL with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds (AMPL) – Tell those who do what is right that things will go well for them, because they will receive a reward for what they do (NCV) — I just feel like encouraging someone/myself today:
My dear! I want to let you know today that: It is well…all is well with you and everything that concerns you. I want you to know that Jehovah sees! Jehovah knows! and Jehovah is in control. I want you to know that God has a very great and good plan for you. I want you to know that ALL God has spoken concerning you and that situation will definitely come to pass. I want you to know that the best is yet to come. I want you to know that you are not a failure, neither are you cursed. I want you to know that you are a blessed child of God. I want you to understand that whatever you are going through right now is going to work out for your good purpose. I want you to know that God can never and will never leave you nor forsake you. I want you to know that God’s got your back. I want you to know that His grace is sufficient for you in every situation. I want you to know that God is beautiful for every situation. I want you to know that God’s timing is perfect. I want you to know that God will perfect ALL that concerns you (according to His will & purpose). I want you to know that all you are going through is to bring you to a perfect and expected end.

As we continue in this season – let’s hold on in faith as we wait to see the manifestation of the promises of God to us. Let’s take time to scatter & declare: It is well… It is well with me!

Note: Will be offline for the next couple of week. Remain blessed and highly favored.

#wordscattering#: John 14 vs. 1 – I refuse to be troubled!!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Tuesday, the 27th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart. Today let’s look at the scripture in the book of John 14 verse 1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. (KJV) – Jesus said to his disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. (CEV) – DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me. (AMPL)
This scripture give the account of the discussion that Jesus had with His disciples — when he was about to leave them. He was telling them not to allow their heart to be troubled. Because He knew that they will encounter a lot of trials andf tribulations when He departs from them. So He had to give them this word of affirmation — that they should not be afraid but have faith in God the Father and in Him (Jesus).
My dear! The Word of the Lord coming to us from this scripture today is that: we should not be troubled but have faith in God. Jesus is telling us not to be agitated about anything happening around us. He is telling us not to fret about what we will eat or drink or how we will pay the bills. Jesus is telling us not to allow anything to depress us. Jesus is telling us not to allow ourselves to be confused about any decision we need to make. He is telling us not to worry, no matter what the world might be throwing at us. Jesus is telling us not to be concerned about what will happen tomorrow. He is telling us not to let our heart be troubled. Jesus is telling us not to allow ourselves to be disturbed by what we hear or see. He is telling us not to allow our circumstance to stir up any form of fear in us. Jesus is telling us we should not allow any form of emotional disturbance in our life.
As we continue in this great day — let’s make a concious effort not to allow anything to trouble us — let’s scatter: “I refuse to be troubled!!”

#wordscattering# – Philippians 4:13 – I can do it!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Thursday, the 22nd of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart.

Today let’s look at the scripture in the book of Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength (NCV) – – I can do all this through him who gives me strength (NIV) — Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. (MSG)

Paul says He can do ALL things… not just the things he knows he has the ability to do… but ALL things. Even though he knew he wasn’t qualified or didn’t have all that it takes to do some things but Paul was adamant that he is able to do those things through Christ.

My dear! What is that thing before you that looks so difficult? What is that situation that looks like a mountain that it seems you can’t surmount?

The word coming to us today is that we can do ALL things through Christ that gives us strength. We can achieve everything that God has planned for us by His power. We can get to the top level in our career through Christ that enables us. We can grow spiritually through Christ that empowers us. We can know God better through the Holy Spirit that reveal God to us. We can walk in the fulness of God in every area of our life through Christ that infuses inner strength. We are equal to any task because of the strength that comes through Christ. We can study and be successful in that examination because of the grace of God. We can prosper financially through Christ that gives us those business ideas. We can do those things that we thought were too difficult through Christ. We can make it in life through Christ who has made us who we are in God.

Be blessed as you go into this new day and let’s continue to scatter this phrase: I____(your name) can do it! I can do ALL things through Christ.

Loving Regards,

#wordscattering# – Matthew 17:20 – Speak to the mountain!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Wednesday, the 21st of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart.

We started looking at the mountain and how every mountain will become a plain by the power (in the presence) of God. Today let’s look at another scripture that talk about mountain in the book of Matthew 17:20 – He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (NIV)

In this scripture, Jesus was telling the disciples (and you & I) that: if we can just have a lil’bit of faith (even as small as a mustard seed) – then we can actually say to the mountain: Move! and it will move. If we can exercise our faith and decree things then whatsoever we say will come to pass. If we can open our mouth and speak the Word by faith then nothing (= NO thing) will be impossible for us. Today, let’s practice scattering this scripture by commanding some mountains to move and expect to see the manifestation of what we say.

So now, by faith let’s say – You mountain of sickness – I command you to move now in Jesus name. You mountain of poverty move now. You mountain of delay, move now in Jesus name. You mountain of frustration/confusion, move now. You mountain of non-achievement, move now in Jesus name. You mountain of lack/insufficiency, move now. You mountain of stagnancy, move now in Jesus name. You mountain of failure, move now. You mountain, hindering the propagation of the gospel, move now in Jesus name. You mountain of barrenness, move now in Jesus name. You mountain of prayerlessness, move now. You mountain _____ (add another), move now in the mighty Name of Jesus….Amen!

As we continue this day/week/month/year — Let’s continue to exercise our faith by scattering the phrase: You mountain___ move from here now!

Have a victorious day!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

#wordscattering# – Zech 4 vs. 6 -7 – Who are you, O mountain?

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Tuesday, the 20th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Today let’s look further at the scripture in the book of Zechariah Chapter 4 verses 6 & 7 says:

7For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it! (AMPL)

7 ‘So, big mountain, who do you think you are? Next to Zerubbabel you’re nothing but a molehill. He’ll proceed to set the Cornerstone in place, accompanied by cheers: Yes! Yes! Do it!'” (MSG)

7 “Who are you, big mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become flat land, and he will bring out the topmost stone, shouting, ‘It’s beautiful! It’s beautiful!’ ” (NCV)

The angel continues his discussion with Zechariah and with reference to the mountain that was before Zerubbabel — Who are you, O mountain? The mountains being referred to here represent challenges & oppositions that was before Zerubbabel as he was trying to built the temple. The word to Zerubbabel was that no matter how big the mountain is — it will become a plain by God’s grace— it is by God’s Spirit that the Temple will be completed. And that Zerubbabel should not fear anything. It will be done through God’s help.

My dear! This is the word coming to us as well today – Who are you, O mountain? – Who are you, O financial hardship? Who are you, O sickness? Who are you, O joblessness? Who are you, O marital problem? Who are you, O failure? Who are you, O mountain ____? (add another)…. you will become a plain by the power of the Holy Spirit.

As we go into this day & week – let’s continue to scatter: Who are you, O mountain?… by the power of the Holy Spirit every mountain before us will be removed.

Enjoy a victorious day in the presence of the Lord.

Loving Regards,

#wordscattering# – Zech 4 vs. 6 – By His Spirit….

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Monday, the 19th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Today let’s look at the Book of Zechariah Chapter 4 – In this scripture the angel of the Lord was discussing the vision of the gold lampstand and two olive trees with Zechariah – but Zechariah couldn’t really understand what these symbols meant. The angel’s response is highlighted in verse 6: This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but BY MY SPIRIT, says the Lord of hosts (AMPL)

My dear! This Word of the Lord coming to us today is that: It is not by our power nor by our might… but by the Spirit of the Lord. Many people believe that to survive in this world a person must be tough, strong, unbending, and harsh. But God says: Not by force, nor by strength, but by My Spirit!

This phrase – “By my Spirit” – means: it’s only through God’s Spirit that anything of lasting value is accomplished. It’s through God”s Spirit that we receive the grace (undeserved favor) that we need in life. God is the One who gives the inspiration & wisdom to we need to succeed in all that we lay our hands upon. God is the One who gives us the strength to go through those difficult times. God is the One who opens the door that no one else can open. God is the One who supplies the resources to go through this opened door. God is the One who gives us the favor & strength we need to keep this door of opportunity opened.

As we continue in this month of September — let’s be determined not to trust only in our strength and abilities – but depend on God (= the power of His Spirit).

Have a Spirit-filled week/day and let’s continue to scatter: By His Spirit…. I have the ability to do all things!!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

Hey TGIFriday!,

Thank God for today, Friday, the 16th of September 2011 – a new month that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because Jehovah Rehoboth will make a way for us where there looks to be no way this season in Jesus Name!

We are taking time to actually scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart as we continue to consider the G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED#.

As we go into this weekend – let’s be blessed as we listen to the lyrics of this song – #He’sable# by Darwin Hobb (in Voice of Unity) — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIAGWndg2Fw

[youtube]YIAGWndg2Fw[/youtube]

My dear! Let’s go into this weekend rejoicing because…God is able to do just what He says He would do. God is going to fulfill every promise He has made to us. God is going to do whatsoever He has said He will do. As the scripture in the book of Number 23: 19 says: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor the son of man, that He should change his mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He speak and then not fulfill”.

Let’s go into this weekend with expectation because #He’sable# – Let’s continue to hold on to His promise because #He’sable# – Let’s not give us on God because #He’sable# – Let’s go into this new day/weekend scattering/declaring: #Godisable#

Enjoy a glorious day and weekend.

#wordscattering# – What is God saying specifically 2 U?

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Thursday, the 15th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

We have taken some time to look at the account of what the LORD said to the people of Israel and how He brought all the promises He made to them to pass (using Isaiah 43 & Exodus 14)

Today, I want us to ask ourselves this question: What is God saying specifically to me as an individual? What promise has God made to me? What is the scripture that I’m holding on to? What is that part of the scripture that has brought me through so far? What is that thing that I am believing God to do in my life? What is the prophetic word that I have received from God? What is the promise God gave me at the beginning of the year that is still yet to be fulfilled? What is the seed of the Word that I am scattering (confessing)?

My dear! The Word of encouragement coming to us today is that: What God is saying specifically to U & I will definitely come to pass — because the scripture in the book of Number 23: 19 says: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor the son of man, that He should change his mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He speak and then not fulfill”

As we continue in this season — let make sure we are scattering the seed of the Word = the scripture/promise that God has made to us. And let’s be expectant of the fulfillment of this promise.

Have a blessed and highly favored day!

Loving Regards,

#wordscattering# – Isaiah 43:19 – Something new!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Wednesday, the 14th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Today let’s look at some of the other things that God is saying as highlighted in the book Isaiah 43 vs 19 – “See I am doing a new thing!… I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wastelands.

My dear! What is the Lord saying today? – He is saying to you and I that: He is doing something new (A new thing! A new way!) — He is doing some new things in the spiritual realm that is about to manifest in the physical. He is making ways where there seems to be no way. He is doing some “humanly impossible” things. He is manifesting His healing power in cases that have been called “terminal”. He is opening doors that seems to have been securely locked by human security. He is doing the impossible. He is stepping into that situation that people have said is “hopeless”. He is making some divine connections in the spirit realm that will come to light this season. He is bringing answers to some specific questions that we have been asking for a long time. He is doing brand new things in our life and life of our loved ones.

My dear! as we go into this new day – let’s scatter and declare – I’m walking in newness of life! – because God is doing a new thing in my life now.

Enjoy this new life!

Loving Regards,

#wordscattering# – Isaiah 43:18 – Forget the past!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Tuesday, the 13th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Yesterday we started looking at the scripture in the book of Isaiah Chapter 43 vs. 16: “This is what the LORD says….” And we took time to understand who the LORD who is saying these things. Let’s continue today by looking at some of the things the LORD is saying – as highlighted in verse 18: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past”

So what is the Lord saying to us today? – The LORD is saying to you and I that we should – Forget the past!!

My dear! The LORD is saying: Forget all that has happened to you in the past. He is saying: let go of that pain and hurt. He is saying: Take your eyes off those problems and fix your eyes on Jesus. He is saying: Forgive that person that has hurt you. He is saying; Don’t allow your past experiences to stop you from moving forward. He is saying: Don’t allow past failures/mistakes to prevent you from stepping out in faith. He is saying: Don’t allow the outcome of that business proposal to stop you from taking this new opportunity. He is saying: Don’t allow the experience of past relationship stop you from trusting/loving again. He is saying: Don’t allow what you have been through in life to hinder you from being the best that God has created you to be.

My dear! let’s take time to scatter this phrase: I forget the past!… and let’s begin to move forward in the power and might of the Lord.

Have a victorious week!

#wordscattering# Isaiah 43:16 -Who is the LORD?

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Monday, the 12th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

As we continue in this month of September – still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart. The scripture in the book of Isaiah Chapter 43 verse 16a says: This is what the LORD says….(NIV)

Before we look at what the Lord says –I want us to pause and ask this question: Who is the LORD that is saying these things? Verses16b & 17 goes on to give us a list that helps to understand the LORD who is saying these things in this scripture.

1). He is the LORD who made a way through the waters. 2). He is the LORD who made a dry path through the mighty waters (Red sea) for the Israelites to walk through. 3). He is the LORD who drowned the mighty army of Egypt and their chariots & horses into the sea. 4). He is the LORD who caused destruction to come upon the enemies of the people of Israel.

So I believe this experience that the Israelites had with the Egyptians at the Red sea (full details in Exodus Chapter 14) will cause them to say: The Lord is our way-maker… The Lord is our deliverer… The Lord is our present help in the time of need… The Lord is our Jehovah Nissi… The Lord is the I AM that I AM.. The Lord is our mighty man in battle… The Lord is the El Shaddai… (etcetera).

The question that is coming to you & I this new day is – Who is the LORD to us? Through all our life experiences: What can we say the Lord is to us? With all the situation that we been through: Who can we say the Lord has been to us?

My dear! Let’s take some time to identify: Who the Lord is to us – And as we continue in this new day, let’s scatter/declare all that God is, God has been and God will continue to be… to us with joy and thanksgiving in our heart.

Enjoy a thank-FULL day/week/month!

#Restored#

Hey TGIFriday!,

Thank God for today, Friday, the 9th of September 2011 – a new month that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because Jehovah Rehoboth will make a way for us where there looks to be no way this season in Jesus Name!

We are taking time to actually scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart as we continue to consider the G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED#.

As we go into this new month/weekend – let’s be blessed as we listen to the lyrics of this song – #Restored# by J. Moss — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXRQYV3Y-JQ

[youtube]RXRQYV3Y-JQ[/youtube]

My dear! We have been redeemed… we have been delivered… we have been set free… by the blood. We are free from all forms of guilt and shame. We are free from every form of bondage, shackles, chains, stronghold and struggles of life, We are restored!

Let’s go into this weekend rejoicing for the freedom we have in Christ Jesus – let’s glorify God for the restoration of everything we have lost (Joel 2:25)

Enjoy a “restored” day and weekend.

#wordscattering# – Isaiah 43:5&6 – He will restore…

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Thursday, the 8th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth— (NIV)

Here God continues to re-affirm to the people of Israel that His mercies and loving-kindness towards them are new every morning. He is telling them not to be afraid of all they have experienced so far because He is with them. God went on to declare that He was going to bring their offspring from the East & West and commanded the North and South to give up what belongs to them. God promised to restore the people of Israel and all that concerns them — by fulfilling the covenant He made with them and their descendants.

My dear! As we continue in this new month – I decree a restoration of everything that we have lost. I declare restoration of lost years/time in every area of our life. I command the North and South to give up all that the Lord has destined for us. I decree every lost dream/vision/ministry be restored this season. I declare restoration of joy & peace that passes human understanding. I command restoration of life to all our physical & spiritual children. I decree a restoration of everything the enemy has stolen by the power of the blood of Jesus.. in Jesus name we pray. Amen!!

As we continue in this new day – let’s scatter: “I am restored….” because the God – Restorer of souls has promised.

Enjoy a victorious September!

Loving Regards,

#wordscattering# – Isaiah 43:3&4 – He will give people….

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Wednesday, the 7th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

The scripture in the book of Isaiah Chapter 43 verses 3&4 says:

Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I will give people in exchange for you, I will trade the lives of others because you are precious to me. You are honored and I love you (MSG)

God is saying because He has paid a huge price for the people of Israel – there is no way He will allow anything bad to happen to them. God is saying rather than evil to befall them – He will allow other people to go through in their place.

The Word of God coming to us today is: I will give people…!! because we are so precious to God and He has redeemed us with a huge price (blood of Jesus). So rather than God allowing anything bad to happen to us, He will allow something else to happen. Rather than watch us destroy ourselves by our own actions and ignorance, He will intervene divinely. Rather than God allowing the cares of this world/lust of the flesh & eyes/issues of life to weigh us down and stop us from fulfilling our destiny, He will step in to rescue and deliver us. Rather than God allowing evil to come upon us, He will trade people/situation/things in exchange for us.

My dear! This understanding should actually give us confidence and cause us to rejoice and be glad – knowing that God understands everything we are going through right now. Everything that we have gone through has a reason. Everything we might be going through will work out for good for us. Everything that happens to us on a daily basis is working towards the fulfillment of this scripture.

Let’s be encouraged and with confidence let’s scatter this phrase: No evil shall befall me… because God has promised to give people/things/situation in exchange for me.

Have a victorious day!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

#wordscattering# – Isaiah 43: 1-2 – He is with me!!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for today, Tuesday, the 6th of September 2011 – a new day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

As we continue in this month of September – still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# and taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart. Let’s look at some verses in the book of Isaiah Chapter 43.

The preceding chapter (42) ended with God complaining about the spiritual state of his people – Israel. But in this chapter (43) we see God exhibiting his great mercy and loving-kindness to the people despite their spiritual failure.

Verse 1 & 2 says: But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. – the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you (NLT) – God, (the Creator) was telling the people not to be afraid because they have been redeemed. And He has called and adopted them as His own (children). He promised to be with them so they should not be afraid.

The Word of encouragement coming from the throne of grace to you & I today is — I will be with you!! Emmanuel, Our God says: I will be with you!!

My dear! God is telling us He will be with us when we go through difficulties He will guide us through the thick and thin of life. He will be with us through the storms of life. He will protect us as we go through the “heat” of life. He will take us through every issues that life throws at us. He will guide us step by step so the situation will not consume us physically and spiritually. He will take us through the “ups and downs” of life and bring us out stronger at the end.

My dear! let’s be encouraged knowing that no matter what we are going through – Emmanuel, Our God has promised to be with us. So let’s continue to scatter: God is with me…..!

Have a blessed day!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

#Godwillmakeaway#

Hey dear,

Happy New Month!! Happy New September!

Thank God for today, Thursday, the 1st of September 2011 – a new month that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because our expectation shall not be cut off this month in Jesus Name!

As we start this new month, we are still considering G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# — and we are taking time to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart. The scripture in the book of Genesis Chapter 26:22 says 22 abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place REHOBOTH (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the LORD has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.

We are understand from this scripture that after Isaac moved away from well Ezek & Sitnah because of the quarreling and accusation about the water, he and his men dug a well again. But this time, no one opposed them and they named the place Rehoboth. We see that Isaac and and his men didn’t give up on digging wells. With all the opposition from the people, they continued to make effort believing that one day they will dig a well that no one will contend with.

The Word of God coming to us this 1st day is September is that: We must expect our Rehoboth! We must expect God to make room i.e. make a way for us this new month of September.

My dear! As we start this new month, I declare that we are walking into our Rehoboth. I decree that a way will be made where there looks like there is no way this month. I declare that we have all that we need to walk in abundance this month. I decree that new room/space i.e. new opportunity is coming our way each day of this month. I declare that we have “enough space” i.e. wisdom, resources, finances that we need in order to prosper in all that we lay our hand upon this month of September.

Let’s go into this new month with great expectation — knowing that we have come to our “Rehoboth” – place of prosperity… place of abundance!

Enjoy a glorious September!

Loving Regards,

#WordScattering# – Genesis 26 vs. 21- Expect accusation!!

Hi Dear,

Thank God for Wednesday, the 31st of August 2011 – the last day of August. Thank God it’s a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Let’s rejoice & be glad because now is the set time for a new beginning. Praise God…Hallelujah!

We have been considering the G in D.E.L.I.G.H.T i.e. GodConnection in regards to the #SEED# — and how it’s important to scatter the seed of the Word that we have gathered in our heart.

Let’s continue this series of #WordScattering# by considering the story of Isaac and the conflict over the dug well (water) in the book of Genesis Chapter 26 – vs.21 says: ²¹Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “accusation”).

After being forced to move away from well “Ezek” – Isaac’s men had a similar encounter when they dug another well in Sitnah – their new location. The people in this new neighborhood accused them and were hostile to them and they had to move again.

My dear! As we scatter the Word and wait for the physical manifestation – we must expect accusation!! We must expect the “accuser of the brethren” (the devil) to accuse us before God (Rev.12vs 10). We must expect the devil will try to bring up iniquity/wrongdoing/sin. We must expect that the devil will try to tell us how we dont deserve the blessings of God. We must expect the enemy to attack our heart and conscience. We must expect the enemy will want to bring up our past. We must expect the enemy will try to make us walk in guilt and shame. We must expect satan will try to stand to oppose us in the presence of God (Zech 3vs. 1)

But we thank God because Jesus is our defense attorney – He seats at the right hand of God interceding for us. We thank God for the blood of Jesus which answers all accusations of the devil. We thank God for the GRACE.. the undeserved favor that we enjoy through our Savior Jesus Christ. We thank God because it is this grace that qualifies us for the blessing of God.

As we go into this new day — let’s remember it’s by grace that we are saved through our faith in Jesus and not by works. And the “accuser” – the devil has been defeated at the cross of Calvary.

Enjoy an “accuse-free” day/seasonJ!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

The Prayer

Hey Dear, TGIFriday!

Thank God for letting us see this blessed day 18^th March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s start this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

L.OVE – Meets all Requirements

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 17th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue the love (agápē, αγάπη) series by looking further at Romans 13: 8 .. the 2nd part says:…. for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements] (AMPL). …. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law (NLT). …When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. (MSG). …If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands (CEV). …. because the person who loves others has obeyed all the law (CEV). Here we are being admonished to love our neighbors because loving others is what helps us fulfill the requirement of the law.

Therefore, if we love others we are loving God. If we love others we are standing for what the law of God says. If we love others we have done what God demand from us. If we love others we have obeyed the commandments of God. If we love others we are pleasing God. If we love others we are meeting the requirements of the scriptures. If we love others we are showing God we are in covenant with Him. If we love others we are expressing our love for God.

As we seek to delight in God this year, May we continue to stir up the gift of love that has been shed in our heart. May we continue to pay the debt of love we owe others.

Have a LOVE-filled day!

Loving Regards,Temidayo

L.OVE – Perpetual Obligation

Hey Dear,

Thank God for today the 16th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue the love (agápē, αγάπη) series by looking further at Romans 13: 8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your OBLIGATION to love one another…(NLT). Yesterday we said: Love for others is an obligation. Another point I want us to look at is that: Love for others is a perpetual obligation. Though we can pay off all our debts, there is one debt we can never pay off: the debt of love. A man of God Origen wrote, “The debt of love is permanent, and we are never finished with it; for we must pay it daily and yet always owe it.” In other words, we can never reach a point where we say, “I have loved that person all I need to; but we must keep on loving. Also, husbands should understand that they never pay up their debt of love to their wives. You can’t say, “I’ve told you that I love you a thousand times. Now I don’t have to tell you anymore.”

My dear! We might become weary of expressing love, especially on unworthy recipients. We might even find people taking advantage of us because we are showing love. But let’s be encouraged and always remind ourselves that: Love is a perpetual obligation and we must continue to pay the debt of love we owe by loving others as ourselves.

Have a LOVE-filled day!

Loving Regards,Temidayo

L.OVE – An obligation

Hey Dear,

Thank God for today the 15th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue the love (agápē, αγάπη) series by looking further at Romans 13: 8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your OBLIGATION to love one another…(NLT). This translation (New Living Translation) says: Love for others is an obligation. An obligation is something that you owe, or a debt that you have to pay.

My dear! Love for others is an obligation because we are permanently in debt to Christ for the unconditional love he has poured out on us. We are forever indebted to Jesus for the sacrificial love He has bestowed upon us. And the only way we can begin to repay this debt is by fulfilling our obligation to love others in return. As the scripture in 1 John 5: 11 says: Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!

So my dear! as we continue to seek to delight in God – let’s make it an obligation to love others… love the “whosoever”… love the unlovable…love the enemy… love everyone!

Have a LOVE-filled day!!

Loving Regards,Temidayo

L.OVE – A debt..

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 14th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Sometime ago we looked @ Luke 12:29 -31 & Matt 22:37 -40 and said: “Love God & Love others” is what all the Law and the Prophet is based on; that is true Christianity begins and ends in love to God and man.

Let’s continue the love (agápē, αγάπη) series by looking the in Romans 13: 8 Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another… (AMPL). Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another…(NLT). Don’t run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other…. (MSG). Let love be your only debt! If you love others…(CEV). Do not owe people anything, except always owe love to each other… (NCV). The 1st part of this verse is saying: We must pay all the duties/bills we incur J! And we should endeavor to owe no one anything except love.

My dear! The Word coming us today is that: Love is a debt! A debt we owe to everyone and have to pay. Love is a debt that we are obliged to pay. Love is a debt that we must continue to pay throughout our life. Love is a debt which you and I must endeavor to pay every new day. Love is a debt we must seek to pay no matter what. Love is a debt we must pay to everyone we come across. Love is a debt you and I must be ready to pay in and out of season. Love is a debt that we must ensure we keep paying on a daily basis. Love is a debt we have to pay no matter how we feel. My prayer today as we seek to express delight in God is that we will receive the grace we need to express love to God and to pay our debt of love to others.

Have a LOVE-ly week!

Loving Regards,Temiday

L-OVE: Whosoever...!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 10th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue this series on Agape (agápē, αγάπη), which is the supernatural cement that bonds together the human loves and makes our love life complete by looking further at the scripture in John 3:16 which says: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The scripture says that God so loved us that He gave He gave us His one and only that whosoever… – this means that God’s love is for whosoever…!

My dear! The Word to us today is that: God’s love is not just for a particular kind of people…but for whosoever! God’s love is not just for a selected group of people…but for whosoever! God’s love is not just “spooky deep, spiri” people…but for whosoever! God’s love is not just for the people in our core group …but for whosoever! God’s love is not just for the Jews…but for the Gentiles as well. God’s love is not just for believer…but for the sinners as well. God’s love is not just for the Kingdom people… but for the everyone. God’s love is not just for those who do good…but for those who make mistakes. God’s love is not just for those whose live a good life… but for those who don’t have it all together. God’s love is for whosoever…!

As we go into this new day – remember love is for whosoever! so let’s take time to share the love of God that has been shed abroad in our heart with whosoever comes our way this season.

Go ahead and love those ‘whosoevers” in your world J!

Have a lovely day!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

L-OVE – Agape = Giving!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 9th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue this series on Agape (agápē, αγάπη), by looking further at the scripture in John 3:16 which says: “For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The scripture says that: God so loved us that He gave us something . God gave something specific — He gave His only begotten Son. God gave His One and Only. God gave something really dear to His heart. God gave something that is really important to Him. God gave something really costly. God gave something is precious to Hm. God gave His one and only because of the love He has for you and I. What a word!

My dear! The Word coming to us today is that: What is that “One and Only” – what is that thing that we need to give because of love. What is that thing that we need to give to humanity. What is that thing that we need to do in order to serve the body of Christ. What is that thing that we need to give to our loved ones. What is that thing that we must give up for the sake of others. What is that gift/talent that we need to share in order to express our love. What is that thing that we need to do in order to reach out to those around us. What is that thing that we must give up for the sake of those we love. What is that “One and Only”?

As we continue in this season – lets think about that “One and Only” that we need to give in order to express our love to God and those around us.

Have a great giving season!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

L-OVE – Agape = Giving!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 8^th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue this series on by looking further at Agape (agápē, αγάπη), which is the supernatural cement that bonds together the human loves and makes our love life complete. There are many passages in the Bible that give us God’s definition of love. The most common verse is John 3:16 which says: “For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The scripture says: for God so loved… He gave! So we can say God’s kind of love (agape) is in the act of giving. We see here that what God gave was not a mere gift-wrapped present; but God sacrificed His only Son so that we, who put our faith in His Son, will not spend eternity separated from Him. This is an amazing love, because we are the ones who choose to be separated from God through our own sin, yet it’s God who mends the separation through His intense personal sacrifice, and all we have to do is accept His gift. What an awesome gift of love!!

The Word of the Lord coming to us today is that: Love = God’s kind of love is about giving! God’s kind of love is about sharing what we have. God’s kind of love is about reaching out to others.

So my dear! God gave us Jesus because of His Agape love to us — the question to us today is that what are we (you & I) going to give? What are we going to give to the lover of our soul? What are we going to give to the One who loved us even when we are yet sinners. What are we going to give to the One who took on sin for our sake? What are we going to give to the One who became poor that we might be rich in God? What are we going to give to the One who endured all shame/pains/anguish for our sake? What are we going to give to humanity?

As we continue in this new day – let’s take time to think of what we need to give to our Lord and Master, who loves us with an everlasting love.

Have a gr8 giving season!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

L-OVE: Agape vs. Human Loves

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 7^th day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

Let’s continue this series by comparing Agape (agápē, αγάπη) with the three (Phileo, Storge and Eros) loves we have looked at so far:

Phileo, Storge and Eros are all “human” loves….Agape, however, is God’s Love. (1 John 4:8)
Agape cannot die…for God cannot die. God is Eternal, and therefore, His Love is Eternal as well.
Agape is Perfect – it is Unconditional, it is Totally Forgiving. No human being that I am aware of has, or ever will have, the ability to love in this manner.
Agape loves for loves sake. It expects no rewards, it wants nothing in return..except that love be given back to it.
Agape is not limited by its environment and someone’s perception.
Agape is based on commitment not a responsive feeling to how someone has been treated. Agape is capable of acting in a hostile environment where there are no warm fuzzy feelings.

The truth coming to us today is that Agape (God’s kind of love) is the love that cement and seals the different kinds of human love. Agape is the foundation on which every other kind of love should stand in order for it not to fail. Agape is the love that God expects us to share with everyone around us.

My dear! Agape is what will sustain the Eros that is shared between husband & wife. Agape is what will uphold the Phileo that we share with our friends & colleagues at work place. Agape is what will enable the Storge that is shared between the children and parents. Agape is what will sustains every relationship. Agape is what will help us not to grow weary in well doing. Agape is what will enable us to love the ‘unlovable’. Agape is what will help us to live at peace with all everyone. Agape is what will enable us to live a life that is pleasing to God in every way.

Today, O Lord.. I pray that you will grant us the grace to live a life of “Agape” (a love that is real/true/genuine/supernatural) in all that we think, say or do in Jesus Name. Amen!

Enjoy a love filled day & week!

Loving Regards

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 3rd day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

We looked at the different kind of human love – let’s continue this series by looking at “Agape” which is the supernatural cement that bonds together the human loves and makes love complete.

Agape (agápē, αγάπη) –is a word which represents the divine love of God toward His Son, human beings in general and believers. It is also used to depict the outwardly focused love God expects believers to have for one another. (Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, “Love”).

This special type of Christian love, is expressed in Jesus Christ’s statement in John 15:13, “Greater love [agape] has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” Jesus Himself exemplified this kind of love throughout His lifetime, continually giving of Himself and His time and energies to serve others and ultimately offering up His life as a sacrifice for all of humanity. This is the kind of love God wants each of us to exemplify in our lives.

My dear! As you continue in this new month, let’s rejoice and be glad in the “Agape Love” – The love that God has bestowed on us in that while we were sinners He died for us. Let’s rejoice and be glad in this “Agape” love that is perfect, total, complete, selfless, sacrificial, undying, unconditional, eternal, and it is for all men, for all times.

As we continue to seek to delight in the Lord this year – let’s take time to express the agape love of God that has been shed in our heart to those around us.

Enjoy ur “Agape-ic” season – season to express the divine love of God!

L.OVE: Storge vs Phileo II

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 2^nd day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God} — the different kind of love, how we can express them how they relate to one another.

Yesterday we started looking at Storge vs. Phileo: as they relate to one another. We said all love is based in God because God is Love! But all these different kinds of love we have been talking about depend on human beings which does depend on normal, everyday emotions /chemistry /feelings – hence a tendency not to last permanently. The truth is that the human element alone is not sufficient to sustain these different kind of love. These “human loves” cannot exist without God – Phileo & Storge love needs God to exist: to live and last forever.

For example,

· Someone walking in a friendship love (Phileo) will not stand and battle till the end. It will flee if danger arises or can see danger coming their way. But if it is combined with God’s sacrificial love, there is a chance that it will stand and last forever.

· The “friendship” a man and a woman have for each other when they fall in love is what helps them to be best friends…sharing, caring, giving. But this must be combined and cemented together with God’s kind of love, or else it will fail as time goes on.

· The love (Storge) expressed between a child and parent can die when a child rebels to the extent of bringing shame to the parent and then the parent withdraws. But this can be made alive if combined with other kinds of human love and then cemented with the supernatural love of God (Agape).

As we go into this new day – let remind ourselves that all things human (Eros, Phileo, and Storge) can be abused, and misused. But when these human loves are combined with the “Eternal/Agape Love..a love that God intends, there’s a guarantee that they will last.

Hey Dear,

Happy New March!!

Thank God for the 1^st day of March 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we continue to BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this new month of March, may all our heart desires will be granted unto us. May we experience the supernatural power of God in our life this month of March. May we see the manifestation of the promises of God in our life this new month in Jesus mighty Name.. amen!

Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God} — the different kind of love, how we can express them, how they relate to one another etc.

Today, let look at Storge vs. Phileo: as they relate to one another —

Phileo is the friendship type of love. It has its root in the social need of every human being, as we are all born with an innate desire to be loved and accepted. Phileo is the love that one has for a friend. It is the type of love that says “I need you in my life, so I will befriend you…you need me, so you can befriend me.”

Storge is a family kind of love. It is evident in the warm affection that parents have toward their children. It is based on instinct as no one has to tell a new mother that she need to protect and nurture her child. It is automatic.

Phileo is a selfish type of love. Often, it says: “I like you if you like me.” Rarely, will someone with Phileo kind of love stand up and give their life for their beloved (friend). Phileo is usually a “what’s in it for me?” type of love. It is self-centered. Unlike Phileo love, Storge love will offer itself in death if that is what is needed to protect their loved one (family). It will not flee from danger, abandoning the beloved. Unlike Phileo, Storge begins to “love” for the sake of loving i.e. because they have to. It is not as conditional as Phileo love. A new mother loves her child simply because he or she is her child. Storge says: “I will love you because I should love you”; but Phileo Love says: “I will “love” you if” you do this or that”

As we continue in this new month – let remind ourselves that all the different kind of (human) love – Eros, Phileo and Storge are based in God because God is Love!

Enjoy a LOVE-filled day!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 28th = last day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}

We looked at the different kind of love – today let’s emphasize on “Storge” (Greek: Storgē (στοργή) – Storge is family love, the bond that exists within a family. This is the affection that naturally occurs between parents and children, exists between siblings, and exists between husbands and wives in a good marriage. This kind of love that is not directly mentioned in the Bible. However, many examples of family love are found in Scripture, such as the love and mutual protection among Noah and his family in the love of Jacob for his sons in the book of Genesis; and the strong love the sisters Martha and Mary in the gospels had for their brother Lazarus. Paul admonished – Children, OBEY your parents in the Lord, for this is just and right. 2 Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother…. [Eph 6:1-2]. And the parents are admonished in vs.4 – Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger, but bring them up [tenderly] in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord.

Storge is a need-love – as a new born baby is totally dependent on the mother for survival and wellbeing. She gives births, gives milk, cares and protects. The baby associates mother with safety and welfare and a mother associates the baby as one to be protected, nurtured, cared for, and loved.

Storge can also said to be the love of one person for his leader & vice versa – as Ephesians 6:5 says: Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters having respect for them and eager concern to please them…

As we continue to seek to delight in God this year – may God grant us the grace to express “Storge” love in our family and work relationships.

Enjoy a “Storge-ic” week at home and workplace J!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 24^th Day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}

We looked at the different kind of love (by their Greek names) – today let’s emphasize on “Phileo” (Greek: φιλέω or phileō) – Phileo (verb) means “‘to have ardent affection and feeling’—a type of impulsive love” (Nelson’s New Illustrated Bible Dictionary, 1995, “Love“). The word phileo is seen in the naming of the city of Philadelphia, which means “the city of brotherly love.”. A city where unity existed among the brethren. This kind of love, is the natural, human type of love and affection that we have for a people. Phileo love is mentioned in a number of places in the scriptures e.g. John Chapter 16 verse 27 –“He said to Him, ‘Yes, Jesus said, “For the Father Himself loves (phileo) YOU, because you have loved (phileo) Me…” –John Chapter 21 verse 15 – 17: ….17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love (phileo) me?”Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love (phileo) you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

Phileo love is having tender affection toward people. Most friendships are built on phileo love. Phileo love is that “thing” that you see in another person that draws you to be their friend. Phileo love is the kind of love that makes the unconditional love of agape enjoyable. It’s the joy of the friendship! Husbands and wives should have this tender love (phileo) for each other while they overlook each other’s faults and failures (agape). We have to start off in Phileo love, to get to Agape love.

As we continue to seek to delight in God this year – may God grant us the grace to express “phileo = brotherly love” to those around us.

Enjoy a “phileo-ic” day J!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 23^rd Day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}

We looked at the different kind of love (by their Greek names) – let’s emphasize on “Eros” (Greek: Ἔρως”)– the word ‘erotic’ comes from Eros which is a word used to express sexual love or the feelings of arousal that are shared between people who are physically attracted to one another.

Although not found in Scriptures, it was used in classical Greek writings. Part of the reason why this word is not found in the new testament is that God is more concerned about how we treat him and each other rather than on our physical sensations.

This type of love is about ideal beauty, passionate physical and emotional, lustful love. It is a kind of a self centered love. It is not concerned about the other person and is based on attraction and desire. The Eros type of love is not sinful. Rather, it is the gift of God to married couples to express their love for one another, strengthen the bond between them, and ensure the survival of the human race. The Bible devotes one whole book to the blessings of erotic, or sexual, love—Song of Solomon. The love between a husband and a wife should be, among other things, an erotic love. However, a long-term relationship based solely on erotic love is doomed to failure. The ‘thrill’ of sexual love wears off quickly unless there is some godly love to go along with it. http://www.gotquestions.org/eros-love.html

My prayer today is that the “Eros’ kind of love will be stirred up between husband and wife – so that intimacy and the bond of love will be strengthened in marriages – in Jesus name. Amen!

Have a LOVE-ly day!’

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 22^nd Day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}

Today let’s look at different kind of love (by their Greek names), some of which are mentioned in the bible –

Eros: ‘… is romantic love, sexual love…’ – This type of love is about ideal beauty, passionate physical and emotional, lustful love. It usually refer to sex and this type of love is that seen between a man and his wife. It is based on attraction and desire.
Mania: This type of love is a highly obsessive and volatile form of love. This type of love is usually seen in people with a very low self esteem – they tend to get too involved and this kind of love later changes to jealousy & possessiveness and can be very dangerous to all parties involved.

Ludus: This is about a love game, where a lover wants to have fun and not get into a serious form of relationship.

Storge: ‘…something like “natural love” or “family love” – This type of love normally refers to the love of friendship, family love, a love shared between parents and children.

Phileo: ‘…the love of friendship’ – This type of love, mentioned in the Bible that refers to brotherly love. In John 21:15-16, Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him and Peter responded that he had the normal human type of love for Him. Phileo is deep rooted emotion where love grows and both partners are benefited from the friendship.
Agape: This type of love, mentioned in the Bible relates to a dutiful, selfless love e.g. love between a mother and her child that is given without ever asking for anything in return. This kind of love is best expressed in Jesus Christ’s statement in John 15:13, “Greater love [agape] has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” – Jesus exemplified this kind of love through his lifetime.
For the next few days, we will be looking in details at the some of these kinds of love – what it they mean and how we should express this kind of love.

Enjoy your love-filled day!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 21^st Day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! Still looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}.

For the next couple of days, I want us to look at – what love is, the different types of love and how to express love.

Love is universal i.e. Love is the universal language of this world as it transcends peoples, nations and religions. Love is limitless i.e. it has no boundaries.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines love as: “an intense affection for another person based on personal ties” – “affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interest” – “attraction based on sexual desires”. We say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good. The key phrase in the dictionary definition of love is the phrase “based on”. This phrase implies that we love conditionally; in other words, we love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. How many times have you heard or said, “I love you because of what you do to me;” or “I love you because you are fun to be with”?

Here are some definitions of love from some of the Bible dictionaries and commentaries — Love is:

1. The unconditional, benevolent concern for another; brotherly concern or affection

2. The self-denying, self-sacrificing, Christ-like love which is the foundation of our salvation

3. The unselfish and loyal concern for the well being of another

4. The high esteem which God has for His children, and the high regard which they in turn should have for Him and other people

As we seek to delight in God this year – may God continue to grant us the grace to understand what love is and how to express love in all we do and say.

Have a LOVE-filled day!

Loving Regards,

Hey Dear, TGIFriday!

Thank God for letting us see this blessed day 18^th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s start this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we continue to BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year 2011, our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!.

Remember everything hangs on love – God’s kind of love! (Matt 22:37 -40). As we go into this weekend – let’s rejoice and be glad because God loves us and He expressed His true love to us by sending His only begotten Son to die for our sins.

Be blessed as you listen to the lyrics of this song “He has His hands on you” by Marvin Sapp – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHj49WzGpXk

My dear! Be encouraged as you go into this new day and weekend because no matter what life throws at you… no matter what may come your way – God’s hands are on you!

Have a LOVE-filled weekend.

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 16th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! We want to continue to look at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – {LOVE as it relates to delighting in God}

Let’s look a scripture in the book of Mark Chapter 12 – in this scripture, there was a discussion going on about between the religious rulers about the scenario of 7 brothers and 1 woman between them — they wanted to know whose wife she will be after death. Jesus was like: “you guys are way off base” because this whole issue is not what is important to God at all. They were puzzled by this response and wanted to know which commandment is then the most important one. Then verse 28 – 31 says: One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” 29 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ 31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

This scripture is telling is that love of the most important commandment, that is nothing is as important as love – nothing is important to God as expressing love.

My dear! the Word to us this season of love is that: as we seek to delight in God we must take our “love life” seriously. We must take time to understand what love is. We must seek to understand the different kinds of love. We must seek to understand what is expected of us as we desire to love. We must show our love to God by obeying His commandments. We must love God with our heart, mind, body & soul. We must love others even the “unlovable” as ourselves. We must love the Word of God. We must love the things of the Kingdom.

May God help us as we seek to delight in God through loving God & loving others.

Enjoy your love-filled life!!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 15th day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we DELIGHT in the Lord this season may our heart desires be granted unto us in Jesus Name!

Yesterday valentine’s day we looked at the book of Psalm Chapter 40 – verse 10 says: I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly. We said that David expressed his delight in God by not concealing the faithfulness and steadfast love of God. We see more evidence of this reported throughout the scripture – in the book of Psalm.

The Psalmist made sure he told everyone in the great assembly about the unfailing love of God (Psalm 13 vs. 5). He ensured that he mentioned God’s great love to everyone (Psalm 17 vs. 7). David told everyone about the wonders of the love of God (Psalm 31vs.21). He told everyone how priceless the love of God is (Psalm 36 vs. 7). David spoke about the ‘height’ of the love of God – that it reaches to the heavens (Psalm 57 vs. 10). He spoke of the love of God that is better than life itself (Psalm 63 vs. 3). David spoke of the goodness that is in the love of God (Psalm 69 vs. 16). He spoke of the love of God that satisfies every soul (Psalm 90 vs. 14). David spoke of the love of God that stands firm (Psalm 100 vs. 5). He spoke of the love of God which is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 103 vs. 17). David spoke of the love of God that endures forever (Psalm 136).

My dear! let’s also take time to express our delight in God by speaking of the love of God to everyone and in every situation.

For the next couple of weeks, we will be looking at the L in D.E.L.I.G.H.T – LOVE as it relates to delighting in God — a condition we must fulfill in order for our heart desires to be granted as stated in Psa 37 vs. 4.

May God grant us the grace we need to continue to radiate the love of God that has been shed in our heart through our salvation.

Have a LOVE-ly day!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 14^th day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we DELIGHT in the Lord this season may our heart desires be granted unto us in Jesus Name!

Still looking at the book of Psalm Chapter 40 – verse 10 says– I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I do not conceal your steadfast LOVE and your faithfulness from the great assembly.

From this scripture, David is saying in this scripture that he has committed himself to proclaiming the right standing in God in the great assembly. David is expressing his delight in God by speaking about His faithfulness. He is saying he did not conceal the steadfast love and truth of God. This means he took it upon himself to share the righteousness, the faithfulness and the love of God with people in the tabernacle.

The Word coming to us this season is that: For us to express our delight in God we must not conceal the love of God,. We must not hide the love that God has lavished upon us by sending His only begotten son to die for us. But we must express the love of God to the whole assembly. We must express the love of God people around us. We must express the truth of the Kingdom by the life we live. We must express the sacrificial love of God to everyone we come across.

My dear! Today as the whole world celebrate Valentine’s day – a day set aside to express LOVE… let’s take time to express our love to God. Let’s express God’s love to the people around us.

I want to use this opportunity Happy Valentine’s day!! And my prayer is that the love of God which is shed in our hearts will continue to radiate to those around us.

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 10th day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we DELIGHT in the Lord this new month may our heart desires be granted unto us in Jesus Name!

Still looking at the E as {Expression – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God} in D.E.L.I.G.H.T. In Psalm Chapter 40 verse 6, we said God is not really after “religion = our religious acts”. Then the question is: what is it then that God requires? What do we need to do to express our delight in the Lord? The scripture records what David said in verse 8: “I delight to do Your will, O my God”

The Word to us today is that: what matters is our obedience to God i.e. our obedience to God is our expression of our delight in Him. Our delight in God must be fueled by obedience and our obedience should be fueled by our affection. Jesus makes a connection between affection and obedience many times in the new testament e.g the book of John Chapter 14 vs.23 when He says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word”. We must not replace our obedience with the works (duties) we do.

So my dear! if we are to really show that we delight in the Lord –if we are to say that we love the Lord then we must obey His Word (commandments)

As we continue in this season – may the grace to express our delight (love) for God through obedience be released upon us..

Kind Regards,

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 9th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!

Still looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40: 6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.. (NIV, 1984)

The part b of the scripture says “…but my ears you have pierced…”

A commentary on this portion says: Hebrew servants who pledged to serve a master for life were marked by having their ear held against a door post and pierced with an awl (Exod. 21: 5-6). So David’s “pierced ears” suggest a whole hearted commitment to serve God and indicates a ear ready to hear (and obey) God’s words (Jer. 6:10)

So my dear, the word of the Lord coming to us today is that if we are to delight in the Lord this year – we must have “pierced ears” i.e. we must be committed to God whole heartedly. We mustn’t be one leg in the Word – one leg in the world. We must be fully committed to God & the things of the kingdom. We must be ready to say “yes’ to the will and way of the Lord. We must be able to hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying. We must be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We must be committed to studying & meditating on the Word daily. We must be committed to the service of the Lord. We must have a whole hearted commitment.

As we continue to seek God for our heart desires this year – may God grant us the grace to have our “ears pierced” – to have a life committed to God and the things of the Kingdom.

So let’s go ahead and work on “piercing our ears” (our commitment to God) this season!

Loving Regards,Temidayo

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 8^th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!

Still looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40: 6a/c

6 “Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, but You have given me open ears. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. (NKJV)

6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings. (NLT)

In this scripture, it is not that God didn’t want David’s offering, the thing is that He wants sincere worship & obedience even more. God is not moved when we go through the motions of religious rituals. He is not pleased by the acts of the flesh – He is not pleased with any kind of ‘holier than though” attitude. He is not pleased with outward appearance.

What God wants is a desire to do His will that comes from a heart. A heart that is committed to Him is what He requires. A life that is devoted to the thing of the kingdom. A heart that is dedicated to the Word. A life that seeks to obey the counsel of God. A sincere heart that is willing to move when God say so. A life that can says if you need somebody, Lord: “Here I am send me”

As we continue to seek to delight in the Lord from a genuine heart and by walking in total obedience this season – may we experience the supernatural hand of the Lord in all that we lay our hands upon in Jesus name. Amen!

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 7th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!

Still looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40– this time verse 6

6 “Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, but You have given me open ears. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. (NKJV)

6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings. (NLT)

The religious rituals of those days involved sacrificing animals in the tabernacle. David wants us to know that mere ceremonies are not enough. Mere external rituals do not honor the Lord. These rituals are actually meaningless unless done with the right reasons. Nowadays, we often make rituals of going to church, taking communion, or paying tithes. These activities are also empty if our reasons for doing them are selfish. God doesn’t want these sacrifices and offerings without an attitude of devotion to Him.

By David saying that the Lord does not desire “sacrifice and offering” – he means doing something for God or bringing something to him is not really what God requires. Being religious is not what God is asking for

So my dear! as we continue to think about delighting in God – let’s remind ourselves that our religious activity is not really what God is looking for. Our “holier than thou” attitude is not what God wants. Our gift and talent are not what God really demands. Our ability to fulfill religious obligations is not what God is really after. Our sanctimonious looks is not what moves God. Our outward appearance is not what God is looking at.

So my dear! As we continue to seek to delight in God – let’s remind ourselves that this is not necessarily about “religion” = our religious acts. And may God help us to live a life that is totally devoted and pleasing to God.

Have a blessed day!!

Loving Regards,Temidayo

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 3^rd day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed our year of great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!

Let’s continue looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40 verse 3b:

…. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord (NLT)

…. More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God. (MSG)

…. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.(AMPL)

In this scripture we have seen David’s expression of his delight in God by his words, his narration, and his praise and now we see his testimonies actually made people to trust God. These testimonies are still bringing a lot of people to God even now. We see that the entire book of Psalm is full of David’s testimonies and is what a lot of songwriters are using to compose songs now. David’s testimonies highlighted in the book of Psalms is what a lot of us are using as prayer points now.

So my dear! Let’s also express our delight in God – by giving our testimonies; because our testimonies will bring people to know the Lord. Our testimonies will cause people around us to want to know and put their trust in the God we serve. Our testimonies will draw all men to God. Our testimonies will cause people to revere and worship the One who is able to save. Our testimonies will cause men to turn from their wicked ways unto God. Our testimonies will cause the world to come to the knowledge of the saving grace of God.

Enjoy a gr8 testimony time!!

Loving Regards,

Hey Dear,

Thank God for the 2^nd day of February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this year, our heart desires will be granted unto us in Jesus Name! We want to continue looking at the E in D.E.L.I.G.H.T as {Expression – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40 – verse 3a says:

He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God… (NLT)

He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God… (MSG)

And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God…. (AMPL)

True delight will always express itself in praise. As we see here that David was delivered out of the miry clay and his response was to sing a new song of praise to the One who delivered Him. It is natural for us as human beings to praise the things we delight in. We praise our children, we praise our favorite sports team, we praise a good meal, we praise favorable weather, we praise people who have been good to us etc. In the same way, if we say we delight in God then we must take time to praise God. We must praise the Holy Name of the Lord. We must praise the One who has delivered from the hand of the enemy. We must praise the One who heard our cry when we called unto Him. We must adore the One who has saved us from our sins. We must worship the One loves us so much to die for us. We must praise the King of king and Lord of lords.

As we continue in this new month – let’s make sure we express our delight in God by taking time to sing a new song unto the Lord every new day.

My dear! Go ahead and give God praise right now!!

Loving Regards,

Temidayo

Hey Dear,

Happy New February! May this new month bring us great blessings, new doors of opportunity, spiritual lifting, divine breakthrough, etc. in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Thank God for the 1^st day February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new month by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

As we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord this new month, May our heart desires be granted unto us in Jesus Name!

We want to continue looking at the E in D.E.L.I.G.H.T as {Expression – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40 – verse 2 says:

He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip. (MSG)

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. (NLT)

He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. (AMPL)

In this scripture we see David narrating all that God has done for him.

David spoke of God’s ability to deliver. He spoke of God lifting him up from the miry clay – pit of despair. He spoke of God mighty hand that is able to save. He spoke of God’s ability to deliver him from the hands of the enemy.
David spoke of God’s ability to establish. He spoke of God setting his feet on a solid rock. He spoke of God establishing his going out and coming in. He s 6, we said God is not really after “religion = our religious acts”. Then the question is: what is it then that God requires? What do we need to do to express our delight in the Lord? The scripture records what David said in verse 8: “I delight to do Your will, O my God”The Word to us today is that: what matters is our obedience to God i.e. our obedience to God is our expression of our delight in Him. Our delight in God must be fueled by obedience and our obedience should be fueled by our affection. Jesus makes a connection between affection and obedience many times in the new testament e.g the book of John Chapter 14 vs.23 when He says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word”. We must not replace our obedience with the works (duties) we do.So my dear! if we are to really show that we delight in the Lord –if we are to say that we love the Lord then we must obey His Word (commandments)As we continue in this season – may the grace to express our delight (love) for God through obedience be released upon us..Kind Regards,Temi,Hey Dear,Thank God for the 9th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!Still looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40: 6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.. (NIV, 1984)The part b of the scripture says “…but my ears you have pierced…”A commentary on this portion says: Hebrew servants who pledged to serve a master for life were marked by having their ear held against a door post and pierced with an awl (Exod. 21: 5-6). So David’s “pierced ears” suggest a whole hearted commitment to serve God and indicates a ear ready to hear (and obey) God’s words (Jer. 6:10)So my dear, the word of the Lord coming to us today is that if we are to delight in the Lord this year – we must have “pierced ears” i.e. we must be committed to God whole heartedly. We mustn’t be one leg in the Word – one leg in the world. We must be fully committed to God & the things of the kingdom. We must be ready to say “yes’ to the will and way of the Lord. We must be able to hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying. We must be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We must be committed to studying & meditating on the Word daily. We must be committed to the service of the Lord. We must have a whole hearted commitment.As we continue to seek God for our heart desires this year – may God grant us the grace to have our “ears pierced” – to have a life committed to God and the things of the Kingdom.So let’s go ahead and work on “piercing our ears” (our commitment to God) this season!Loving Regards,TemidayoHey Dear,
Thank God for the 8^th February 2011 – a day that the Lord has made so let’s begin this new day by rejoicing in the Lord. Praise God…Hallelujah!

Year 2011 is indeed a year filled with great blessings & promises – as we BELIEVE & DELIGHT in the Lord our heart desires will be granted unto us this year in Jesus Name!

Still looking at {E as “Expressions – Some ways by which we can to express our delight in God”} using the scripture in the book of Psalm Chapter 40: 6a/c

6 “Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, but You have given me open ears. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. (NKJV)

6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings. (NLT)

In this scripture, it is not that God didn’t want David’s offering, the thing is that He wants sincere worship & obedience even more. God is not moved when we go through the motions of religious rituals. He is not pleased by the acts of the flesh – He is not pleased with any kind of ‘holier than though” attitude. He is not pleased with outward appearance.

What God wants is a desire to do His will that comes from a heart. A heart that is committed to Him is what He requires. A life that is devoted to the thing of the kingdom. A heart that is dedicated to the Word. A life that seeks to obey the counsel of God. A sincere heart that is willing to move when God say so. A life that can says if you need somebody, Lord: “Here I am send me”

As we continue to seek to delight in the Lord from a genuine heart and by walking in total obedience this season – may we experience the supernatural hand of the Lord in all that we lay our hands upon in Jesus name. Amen!
