IDENTITY IN CHRIST JESUS
Bless you dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus around the world. It is a privilege and honour to share the knowledge of God’s word with you today. Identity in Christ means you know who you are and what you can do in the name of Jesus. You know how powerful you are and the will you possess as a child of God. But not all Christian or believers know their identity in the Lord. Many are always afraid and confuse and worry especially when confronted with life challenges and situations. Many easily give up and search for other ungodly ways to solve their problems.
But a Christian or a believer who knows their identity in the Lord knows how to stand strong in faith when things are not as always is. They don’t get panic and disarray. They buckle themself up in prayer and fasting and meditation of Gods word. They recite the word of God upon there life several times and upon the situation that confront them.
A Christian or a believer who knows their identity in the Lord don’t deliberately plan or plot evil against others or try to hurt them or destroy them, by doing that, they know they are threading on the path of evil and destruction.
A Christian or a believer who knows their identity in the Lord don’t pay back evil for evil, or evil for good, no, they leave vengeance to God because they know they are not to use their hands or mouth to do evil, for evil will destroy those who love and do evil.
As a believer in Christ, its good to know your identity in Christ, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand and stand strong till evil pass away.
May the spirit of God grant you the grace to understand the power and will you possess as a child of God.
Peace be with you always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERY PROVOCATION
Bless you brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is honour and great pleasure to share the word of Knowledge of God with you. Today the Lord want to enlighten us about provocation. In life provocation is not meant to make you comfortable or relax, provocation can be very irritating, it is not meant to be make you satisfied. Some provocation were meant to wake us up and seek God in prayer.
There is a story of a woman in the bible whose name is Hannah, Hannah was barren ,she couldn’t borne a child but she was comfortable with her situation. She don’t see why she has to pray to God for changes. She became relaxed and unconcerned until her husband Elkannah marry another woman Peninnah. And God allow Peninnah to conceive and born children for Elkannah .In a long run, Peninnah begins to provoke Hannah, and whenever Peninnah realizes she has conceived she would provoke Hannah heavily till Hannah could no longer eat or drink. When the provocation became much for Hannah to bear, she became irritated and wept and wept before God to remember her and consider her misery . And God answer Hannah’s prayer and bless her with a son named Samuel.
Today, God allow some people to be in our life in order to provoke us ,to get us irritated about the challenges and situation that confront us. For us not to become comfortable and relaxed about it but for us to pray and ask God to turn situation around for us. Hannah became relaxed about her barrenness until the rival came and begin to provoke her, then Hannah remember there is God in Heaven who can turn situations around and make a way where there is seems to be no way.
Brethren, don’t turn the provocation of people around you to be hatred or fight but turn the matter to God in fervent prayer. And see what God would do in your life. Seek God and you will be found by him. May the peace of God strengthen your heart and mind. And always remember God loves you first before you start loving him.
Peace be with you.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord,

BE UPLIFTED
Bless you brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. The message I have for you today is “be uplifted from the spirit of weakness and distress.” There are many who are downcast in heart and mind, there are many who at the edge of giving up life and contemplating suicide. There are many whom Satan has decided to frustrate their lives and their peace, so many people are in one distress.
We all face struggles of various kinds; some are self-afflicted, and others are not. Discouragement is a thief. It steals your vitality, your zeal, your joy, your peace, and your contentment. If discouragement dwells long with you, its friends will soon join. Their names are fatigue, hopelessness, despair, self-pity, depression, doubt, and bitterness.
We need to take comfort in what Christ has done on the cross and how Jesus’ sacrifice guarantees that God loves us and is watching out for us. Keeping your eyes on Jesus is the best way to be encouraged and to overcome distress and difficulties of life. In Him, you can have comfort and peace, and encouragement. You need to find Him and His words, and by faith rest in Him.
Encouragement is something that belongs to you as a Christian. You do not have to live in a world of hurt and doubt. You don’t have to live alone. You don’t have to weep in solitude. You have the body of Christ to lift you up. You have the Word of God to teach you. You have the Holy Spirit indwelling in you who warms your soul. But you need to trust. You need to remember the Lord’s blessing. You need to depend on Him. You need to keep your eyes on Jesus and Him alone.
May the God who gives comfort and encouragement comfort your heart and mind and lift you up from distress and sorrow. May the peace of God be with you always.
Yours faithfully in Christ Jesus.

WITH GOD WE CAN OVERCOME EVERYTHING.
Bless you dear brothers and sisters, its a great privileged and honour to enlighten you with the word of knowledge from God’s word. Bible said with God we can overcome every situation that confront us. But before we can overcome our situations, we must first come before the presence of God. We must have divine access into the presence of the living God in the spiritual realm. For God is Spirit and those who serve him must serve him in Spirit and in truth.
We must connect to God in mind and in Spirit. Going to church is good, but its not enough, reading our bible is good, very good but still not enough. For us to have access to God is for us to open our heart and mind to God’s word first and allow his word to take hold of our ways of live and change us to God’s ways of life. We cannot have access to God when we are not willing to allow his word to transform our minds and change our ways. We will only find ourselves struggling with our Christian live but no progress in the spirit realm.
When we submit our heart and mind to God ‘s word, He (God) send his Holy Spirit to our heart to open access to us to get connect to him in Spirit realm, because of our reverent submission to his word. But when we are arrogant and stubborn to his word and unwilling to accept his guidance in our heart and live by it, then we cannot receive access to his presence. “For God resist the proud but gives grace to the humble to come near him”.
By receiving access to god’s presence in the heavenly realm, then we receive power and authority to bound and uproot any situation that confront us both physically and spiritually. Then we can overcome everything.
May the good Lord grant us the grace to be humble before his word. And accept it into our heart till his word change us completely.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
