Life events are daily happenings. And  it could be good or bad.
Everybody loves good event happening to them or around  them. As a matter of fact, we daily look  forward to good  events.
The question is do we daily have good events?

2. God is mysterious and cannot be known by anyone.
3. God exist but does not care about us or anything we do.
4.God and Mother nature are one and the same.
5.There are many different gods.
6. We are all gods.
Sometimes their opinions contradict one another.
Sometimes they are confusing.

WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT GOD?
To find out what God says about Himself we must look in the Bible which is His word. Let us see what He says:
1. God knows all things, including all our thoughts, ways and words (Ps.139:1-4).
2. God can do all things;nothing is too hard for Him (Gen. 18:14).
3. God is everywhere; no one can possibly hide from Him (Jer.23:24).
4. God is eternal; He has no beginning and no end (Ps. 90:2; Heb.7:3).
5. God is unchanging;He never changes and neither does His Word (Mal.3:6)
6. God is holy;He cannot tolerates sin (1 Pet.1:15-16;Lev.20:26).
7. God is love in His very nature(1 Jn.4:8),and in His desire for us.
The Bible says this about Him: " God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life " (Jn. 3: 16).
It also says that "In this love of God was manifested towards us,that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might have life through Him. In this love, not that we loved God , but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation of our for our sin (1 Jn. 4:9-10)
WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT GOD?
Are you going to believe the opinion of men or the World of God?
You must choose what you believe because your choice will determine where you will spend your eternity.

WHO AM I ?

TOPIC: WHO AM I ?
TEXT: JUDGES.6:11-17
Introduction: Reaching your maximum in life demands that you know who you are. When you discovered who you rare , there are something you will  change about you. E.g you will not follow everybody to do everything because you know where you belong. Hosea.4:6 says my people are destroyed for lack of  knowledge. Do you know why you are doing those things you are doing? those attitudes you often display, it's all because you have not discover yourself.
Brethren, there is an urgent need for you to discover who you are so that you can maximize your strength and all that GOD has made available for you in Christ Jesus.
We are in a World where people are defined by what they wear,where they they live,dresses they wear,school they attended,their problems,color,failure,achievements e.t.c. For instance, we have in the Bible the blind bertimeaus,the mad man of Gar darer, the woman with the issue of blood e.t.c.
But what really defines a man? is it the color, problems ,where he lives? The answer is NO. What defines a man is the dream,gift and the ordination of GOD upon his or her life.   Mt.3:1-6 for people went out to meet John the Baptist  in the wilderness not because of his dress or appearance because he was not having the best of appearance  but because of the ordination of GOD upon  his life. Pastor, are you saying that we should not look good? Not at all but am saying that we should not allow what we wear,where we live to stop our dream from speaking forth for your world is waiting for your manifestations as a child of GOD. Learn to define your self based on the report that GOD has given concerning us. Remember the 10 spies,8 of them gave their report based on their perception of themselves not as GOD perceive them.
Brethren,let us always define ourselves based on the reports that GOD gave about us in His word. For instance Rev.1:6 says we kings made by GOD,1 Pet.2:9 says we are the chosen of GOD and that we are peculiar. Brethren, people may take your garment like they did to Joseph but please do not allow them to take your dream for your world is waiting for your manifestation. I therefore decree that in no time that your dream shall speak forth in the name of Jesus. Hab.2:3 says your dreams and vision shall speak. May GOD give voice to your dreams and vision in Jesus name.
WHY DO I NEED TO DISCOVER WHO AM I ?
When you discover who you are then you will become a king indeed reigning in your world Judges.8:22.But beyond reigning your success is not a success until it outlive you so you need to stay connected to your source which is GOD. John.15:1-7,Deut.8:18. But if you have not given your life to Jesus i beg you to do that right away because you are like a Chicken in a Cage and the Devil your master may decide to kill you any day and nobody will stop him but you are a child of GOD then GOD will fight for you.
Prayer: Father reveal to me the purpose of my creation to me in Jesus Name.

DIVINE INTERVENTION

TEXT: 1 SAM.2:3
Divine intervention is when GOD steps into a man/woman situation for change.Change for the best. Therefore, it could be from sickness to health,poverty to prosperity,barrenness to fruitfulness,failure to success,from obscurity to limelight,from nobody to somebody,from nonentity to a celebrity e.t.c.Looking through the scriptures,i discover that divine intervention can come to a man in three(3) ways.
1.When GOD sees your helplessness. E.g Jacob-Gen.30:30 ;31:10,the mad man of Gar darer-Mk.5:1-20;the man at the pool of Bethesda-Mt.5.1-9 e.t.c.God intervene in their situation  because God saw their helplessness. Brethren,do not give up for help is on the way for you.
2. When you invite God into tour situation the you also stand to receive divine intervention.E.g the Israelite-Ex.3;7-9,the man  blind Bartimeaus e. t. c. Mt.7:7 says when we call,we should be ready for divine intervention.
3. By an act E.g Solomon,the Zaraphat widow.E.t.c.
You can trust God to come through for you as you trust in Him.

THAT THE LIVING MAY KNOW

Daniel.4:17
Brethren,some miraculous,divine things must happen in your life to convince the unthinking unbelieving world that verily there is a GOD that rules in the affairs of men.
This same GOD advances men to power and dominion that little expected it Ps.113:5-9.
According to our text,GOD is in the business of  intervening in the affairs of His children,so that the living may know that though Satan is the god of this world,the Almighty GOD created him and whenever His children cries to Him ,He pays attention to their cries so that the living may know that Jehovah rules in the affairs of men.
That is why i know that whoever is interfering with the government of God for you life will have GOD to deal with. Although,there are many rulers in different kingdom but there is only one superior ruler and His name is Jehovah,the Almighty GOD.
For instance He can turn the heart of men to whichever way He wanted,He can lift up a beggar  from a dunghill and made him to be seated with the princes of this world,He can heal what men calls incurable disease,infact, He can break rules set by Himself in order to favor His righteous cause, He can make the impossible to become possible e.t.c. All of these and more He can do so that the living may that Jehovah rules in the affairs of men.

BUT IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO

TEXT:MATT.19:8.
All that we see happening today was not so in the beginning.Because all that GOD created in the beginning was good. So, for us to understand we where are coming from,we need to critically look at the Book of Genesis before the fall of man to really understand who we are in Christ Jesus.
The question is what do we have in the beginning? We had everything except lack,sickness,poverty,barrenness e.t.c. Satan our enemy corrupted everything and Adam handed everything to him whose mission is in John.10:10;Matt.13:24-25.
Thank GOD that JESUS came and restored everything back to us so that we can now live in dominion over the works the the devil. So it's left for us to those things that JESUS purchased for us by for force Matt.11:12.
Beloved,go ahead and reject everything that was not part of your salvation package.
Not saved? Go ahead and give your life to JESUS and HE will save your soul even now.

BECOMING A MIGHTY MAN FOR GOD

TEXT: 2SAMUEL.23:8-10
INTRODUCTION
Becoming a mighty man for GOD is the desire of every Christian but how many are really mighty for GOD?
Many prayed to GOD to them mighty without considering some ingredients  that they need to become mighty for GOD. Based on our our text,i discovered that those men possessed some qualities that made them different from other David's men.
THE QUALITIES ARE:
1. Faithfulness: Faithfulness to the master's business.1cor.4:2;Matt.25:14;Luke.16:10.
2.Fearlessness: He stood his ground in the mist of oppositions.Rev.21:18;2sam.23:10.
3.Full of fight: He struck the enemy until his hand grew tired and froze.
Conclusion: Whoever that desires to become mighty for GOD should consider those qualities and imbibe them and in no time such person will records great exploit for GOD.
