TERRORISM IS AN IDEOLOGY THAT BULLETS CANNOT KILL.

    untitled
                                                                            The issue of terrorism in Nigeria has got to an all time high with the activities of the Boko Haram group in different parts of the nation. From killing and maiming of innocent citizens, their focus is now on our children with incessant attacks on various schools and the recent abduction of over 100 school girls in Borno. Anyone who condemns Boko Haram is targeted and many are cringing for fear all across the nation.
What makes a man or woman so persuaded that he or she does not mind losing his or her life? What convinces a mortal to think that he or she has a right to take another life as well as his or her own and that he will be rewarded for it? Why are the Boko Haram attacks so carefully masterminded and carried out with precision and success? What made those two British born Nigerian teenagers in broad day light kill a British soldier on the street of England and apologise that it is a pity that women and children had to see them do it? What is driving these killers? IT IS NOT JUST POVERTY, IT IS MORE THAN A REVOLT OF THE POOR AGAINST THE RICH BECAUSE BOTH POOR AND RICH ARE BEING KILLED INDISCRIMINATELY, IT IS MORE THAN A RELIGIOUS WAR BECAUSE BOTH MOSLEMS AND CHRISTIANS ARE BEING KILLED, IT IS AN IDEOLOGY ! AN IDEOLOGY THAT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY SOLD TO PEOPLE THROUGH INDOCTRINATIONS, TEACHINGS, PREACHINGS AND SPIRITUAL SUBJUGATION.
The dictionary defines an ideology as a body of doctrine, myth, belief that guides an individual or a social group. This ideology has devices, methods and plans of operation. Unfortunately "killing of infidels" is high on the modus operandi of the IDEOLOGY guiding the BOKO HARAM. A suicide bomber is not afraid to die, as a matter of fact he or she considers it a privilege to die. A popular saying on a crime fiction I watched says "to catch a killer go into the mind of the killer and try to think as he thinks" I was shocked a few weeks back when I went to the popular Lagos Island market and as I was being attended to a young lady in her early twenties had a TShirt on that said. "IT IS GLORIOUS TO DIE FOR ALLAH" A woman coincidentally a Muslim called her and cautioned her to avoid the company of "RADICAL CLERICS " who are selling the idea of glorified death to people as that is not the way of God.
I appreciate the careful and delicate handling of Boko Haram and I am very happy that we can all clearly see that it is not motivated by devout Muslims so it is not a religious issue, but we cannot DENY the fact that they are using the vehicle of religion to recruit and propagate their heinous IDEOLOGY. When seeking for solutions to the Boko Haram problem in addition to setting up a more effective security apparatus across the nation, we must find a way to DISMANTLE the IDEOLOGY, prevent it from spreading, because as we speak Boko Haram has a system of operation which does not start from planting bombs but from spreading the evil ideology to people who over time will imbibe it and turn around to kill their own kith and kin. Myles Monroe said, " You cannot kill an idea with a bullet".
There has to be a contrary IDEOLOGY and this is where our Muslim Leaders, brothers and sisters have to rise up and begin to speak against killing of infidels more than they may be doing now. There has to be more enlightenment, programs especially among youths debunking the evil ideology in the mosques, churches, schools and other societal groups. We must denounce, hate and condemn killing of another human being with passion, make people sensitive to activities around them that can endanger human life. Right now many people are apathetic to life, people are so desensitized that we look away from anyone dying on the road and feel unconcerned. There must be the return of human compassion and life worth to every Nigerian. How can a human being cut the throat of a child in a school and think he is doing God a favour, that person is already demented and has lost all human feeling of compassion because someone had taken time to sell him an evil ideology of hate that has turned him or her to a killer.
Christians and Muslims must collaborate to fight this evil as both are being attacked and we have so many people that come into our churches and mosques every week. We must use our sphere of influence to fight Boko Haram as much as possible through prayers and sensitizing people. We must all speak up against this evil, as Dr Oby Ezekwesili tweeted we are NOT POWERLESS!!! Boko Haram cannot be killed by bullets alone, the IDEOLOGY behind it must be attacked and dismantled. Just as Adolf Hitler sold the evil ideology to Germans and their allies that brought about the death of millions of Jews, the IDEOLOGY had to be attacked and dismantled and we saw the end of Naxism. Slavery came from an IDEOLOGY that some people were born superior to others and had to serve them. But Abraham Lincoln, dismantled that ideology and though he paid with his life, slaves were set free. Apartheid came from an ideology that blacks were inferior to whites but that IDEOLOGY was attacked and dismantled. We all know the role Nelson Mandela played even sacrificing 27 years behind bars.
WE MUST ATTACK THIS EVIL IDEOLOGY THAT GLORIFIES DEATH AND KILLING OF OTHERS IN THE NAME OF GOD. BULLETS ALONE CANNOT KILL AN IDEOLOGY BUT A SYSTEMATIC INDOCTRINATION OF A CONTRARY IDEOLOGY TO VALUE HUMAN LIFE.

HEAVENLY PATROL

LORD, RELEASE YOUR HEAVENLY PATROL OVER OUR NATION IN JESUS NAME. Dearly beloved, These are times when the clarion call is being sounded again for us as women to rise up and intercede for our nation. We are aware of the danger of carelessness in the place of prayer. Jeremiah 9:17- 22 says: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbour lamentation. For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. Speak, thus saith the Lord, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. (Jeremiah 9:17, 20-22 KJV) For us not to witness evil in our nation, we need to rise up yet again and begin to intercede for our nation. We pray that the evil principality of bloodshed and war will not prosper in our country Nigeria, in Jesus name. Many countries that failed and slid to war witnessed so much hardship, trauma, bloodshed and unthinkable evil, it is our prayer that our beloved country will not end up as a war zone in Jesus name. At this crucial time when there is a national discourse to find a new direction for Nigeria, it is important that as intercessors we pray through for our beloved nation. Our prayer should be that God will use this NATIONAL CONFERENCE to chart a new course for Nigeria. Let the conference bring about national well-being, national cohesion and an end to regional strife and carnage in our beloved country Nigeria. The change we want can only be orchestrated by the Spirit of God. Isaiah 32:15 says, "Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest" Zechariah 6:1-8 says “And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, what are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, these are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The black horses which are therein go forth into the North Country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. (Zechariah 6:1-8 KJV) The Contemporary English version says, The horses came out eager to patrol the earth, and the angel told them, “Start patrolling the earth.” When they had gone on their way, he shouted to me, “Those that have gone to the country in the north will do what the [Lord]'s Spirit wants them to do there.” We pray that the Lord release the Winds of Heaven, the Four Spirits of Heaven, to patrol the North, West, East and South of Nigeria in Jesus name. May the patrolling Spirit of God go to the north and dismantle terrorism in Jesus name. We pray that the Winds of Heaven patrol and uproot violence and kidnapping from the east and may God's Spirit patrol the west and bring an end to bloodshed, ritual murders and political upheavals in Jesus name. By divine patrol let militancy be wiped out in the south of Nigeria in Jesus name. We decree an end to corruption and political unrest in Nigeria in Jesus name. Let the will of God be established concerning Nigeria from the east to the west and from the north to the south in Jesus name. We must never be tired or lose faith over our nation. Job 14:7 says, "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease". There is hope for Nigeria through Christ Jesus. We must continue to prophesy to the dry bones of Nigeria to receive flesh. Many of us have received different revelations of war, bloodshed and unrest and we must arise to pray to ensure that this evil will not come to pass in Nigeria. The reason God is revealing these things is bring us to the place of prayer where it can be averted. We are declaring the next (14) fourteen days for all Women with a passion for intercession to stand in the gap for Nigeria by praying at midnight. Anytime you lay your hands on this article just key into the national intercession, please pass this article on to those who are in a position to gather women to pray. Many of us know we are to pray by do not know how to do skillful intercession; this is a guide to national intercession. Spread the Word to every woman you know to ARISE AND PRAY FOR NIGERIA especially during this National Conference and even after it. This same prayer points are available on our website, Facebook page and our blog. HEAVENLY POLICE, PATROL NIGERIA IN JESUS NAME.   Peace, love and joy.

                         faith   John 11: 1-25 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. (John 11:1-4, 7-13, 15-29 KJV) If you were living in Bethany at that time when Lazarus died and was buried, without the benefit  hindsight,how disappointed would you have been! Maybe I need to rephrase the question. Have  you lost any Lazarus in your life? I have lost some things despite prayers, despite believing. You may be here today and though you lived right then,  something unexpected happened to you and you are wondering has GOD left me?  Sometimes in our lives we see a Lazarus situation unfolding. Just like Lazarus fell sick and they sent for Jesus, but he never showed up till Lazarus had died and been buried for four days. Infact Jesus was told that by now HE SINKETH. That business kept going downhill you have prayed and yet it goes under. That financial challenge emerged you fasted yet the bills kept mounting. You needed that job, attended various night vigils but you were not employed. You heard about a downsizing exercise that was to commence in your office or spouses you prayed and declared it was not your portion yet you go fired. These are all Lazarus situations. They sent for Jesus but He didnt show up at their time of expectation. Martha said EVEN NOW, your even now faith can make dead things to come alive in your life. Your even now statements can trigger a restoration, your even now action can bring about a miracle.  Everytime Jesus did not show up at your time of expectation it is because he wants to take you higher, He wants to manifest himself to you in a new dimension. In John 11:25 Jesus said I am the Resurrection and the life. Hitherto,He had not manifested that attribute. You see if Jesus had met Lazarus sick, he would have healed him and we will not have experienced our Lord as the Resurrection and the Life. When God does not show up as you expect, it is because He wants to show up as you never knew Him. The important thing is that He will surely show up and make everything work together for your good. So believe in God even now that He seems far away in your situation; even now that your prayers seem to be bouncing back to you; even now that the deadline has passed. Have an EVEN NOW FAITH. Peace always. Busola Jegede.

POST FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH- REVIVING THE ABANDONED PROJECTS IN YOUR LIFE.

That fateful day when David wanted to bring in the ark to Jerusalem, there was so much excitement in the air. 1Chronicles 13: 7-8 gives a vivid account of the fanfare: The sacred chest was still at Abinadab's house,  and when David and the crowd arrived there, they brought the chest outside and placed it on a new ox cart. Abinadab's sons Uzzah and Ahio guided the cart,  while David and the crowd danced and sang praises to the [Lord] with all their might. They played music on small harps and other stringed instruments, and on tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. (1 CHRONICLES 13:7, 8 CEV) Suddenly the oxen stumbled and out of reflex probably, Uzzah reached out to steady the ark and he was struck down. The day turned dark and ugly and the excitement quenched abruptly.The ark  was abandoned in the house of Obededom and everyone went away to tell a tale of unpleasant happenings to those awaiting the ark in Jerusalem. After three months, news reached David that the ark had brought much prosperity to Obededom and his household and then David gathered men again to bring back the ark and they did so successfully this time. Whenever we experience failure, the tendency is to back out. Go into our shell, withdraw or even go into depression. Though we may need time to heal but we need to summon up courage and try again wherever we have failed. But like David did in 1Chronicles 15:15, he identified the reason for the failure and he addressed the issue correctly the second time. The ark was not supposed to have been carried on a cart but on the shoulders of the Levites!!! Like David you need to IDENTIFY WHERE YOU FAILED. David called together these six Levites and the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar.  He said to them, “You are the leaders of the clans in the Levi tribe. You and your relatives must first go through the ceremony to make yourselves clean and acceptable to the [Lord]. Then you may carry the sacred chest that belongs to the [Lord] God of Israel and bring it to the place I have prepared for it.  The first time we tried to bring the chest to Jerusalem, we didn't ask the [Lord] what he wanted us to do. He was angry with us, because you Levites weren't there to carry the chest.”  The priests and the Levites made themselves clean. They were now ready to carry the sacred chest  on poles that rested on their shoulders, just as the [Lord] had told Moses to do. David then told the leaders to choose some Levites to sing and play music on small harps, other stringed instruments, and cymbals. (1 CHRONICLES 15:11-16 CEV) If you have missed it, lost it or abandoned your purpose, you need to find your way back to God. If you have dropped out of school, joined the wrong group, gone into drugs, made a mistake in your life by going into a wrong relationship, abandoned your family its time to get back on the right track. God is waiting on you to support you and empower you as you make your way back.  Reconnect back to God and your divine purpose. Just like the prodigal son, mercy is waiting for you, honor has been reserved for you. If that project failed before, go try again and note the lessons you learnt from your earlier experience. Israel was in bondage for 40 years but got reconnected. The prodigal son lived a riotous life but got reconnected. Moses hid in the Midian desert keeping Jethro's flock but got reconnected to his purpose. No matter where and how you failed you can try again and have victory in Jesus name. Whatever projects you abandoned can always be revived and successfully completed in Jesus name. Blessings!!!! Busola Jegede

DIVINE MERCY.

dm 1 MERCY is indeed divine. It is in God's nature to be merciful because GOD IS LOVE and it takes a heart of love to show mercy. God's mercy is rooted in His Love nature. One profound trait that is necessary to show mercy is the ability to FORGIVE. God is a loving God who remembers our sins no more once we repent and He releases His mercy to us generously. What an amazing God! Psalm 33:16-22 says, "There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee." Without God's mercy our strongest human defense is bound to fail. God wants us to reach out and cry for His mercy. Indeed, in times of trouble when we are faced with difficulties like sickness, oppression, calamities or even death, God can deliver us when we cry for His mercy. Mercy means to be compassionate; to pardon someone; an act of kindness or divine favour and blessing. Mercy is a gift from God and it is not earned. Romans 9:16 say So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. When the mercy of God is released on your life you may actually be the least qualified. Mercy can take you faster and higher than toiling or effort. Mercy can remove barriers that slow down your manifestations in life. THE NATURE OF DIVINE MERCY 1. The mercy of God endureth forever. Psalm 136: 1-2 "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever." 2. Mercy and truth purges iniquity. Proverbs 16:6 "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. In the story of Zaccheaus due to the mercy he received when Jesus came to his house he repented of extortion." 3. God is plenteous in mercy. Psalm 86:5 "For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee." 4. God shows mercy at his prerogative or discretion. Romans 9:15, "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." 5. Mercy releases glory. 2Chronicles 5: 13-14 "It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God." 6. By mercy we are HEALED. Psalm 6:2 "Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Blind Bartimeaus was healed." 7. By mercy we are delivered from intimidation and oppression. Psalm 56:1 "Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me." 8. Mercy preserves. Proverbs 20:28 "Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy." HOW DO I ACCESS THE MERCY OF GOD? a) When you have the fear of God, Luke 1:50 "And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation." b) Have the love of God and be obedient to His word. Deut 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. c) Cry or Ask God for mercy. Luke 17:13 "And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. Blind Bartimaeus also cried for mercy and he received, his sight back." d) Favour brings mercy. Isaiah 60:10 "And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee." Psalm 102:13 KJV "Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." e) Hope brings mercy. Psalm 33:18 and 22 "Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee." We are to emulate the nature of God in showing mercy to others. I pray that we all receive the grace to be merciful even in difficult situations in Jesus name. Peace, joy and abundance.

THE WOMAN AS THE SPIRITUAL GATEWAY

gw •A GATE IS A MEANS OF ACCESS OR ENTRANCE •A GATE OR GATEWAY : AN OPENING PERMTTING PASSAGE •SPIRITUAL MEANS NOT MATERIAL, NOT SUBSTANTIAL, NOT PHYSICAL. A woman is that spiritual gateway that is not physically seen but strong in presence. A woman has capacity, grace ,power of influence, sphere of influence that is so strong IN MARRIAGE She is a Spiritual pillar to her husband. Gen 2:18 CEV says she is a SUITABLE PARTNER.... as a Spiritual gateway she is to intercede for her husband. Acc to Prov 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. She is the gateway of Favour. The devil got the man through the woman in the garden. IN THE FAMILY In the home there is a spiritual climate that you create and bring in as a woman. Apart from physical cleanliness or lack of it. You create a spiritual climate by your temperàment. Are you nice, friendly, prayerful, negative,angry, bitter, lacking in love etc. As a spiritual gateway you attract or shut out people from your home. CHILDREN The woman is the Spiritual gateway to the children. You are the one shielding them spiritually from the devil, Rev 12: 3-4 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. THE NATION: She is a gateway for the nation through intercession v12 •In Jer 9:17-20Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. Jeremiah 9 v 17 -2 "For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out. Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation."

ORDER!

order Text:(LUKE 9:10-17 CEV) Jesus performed the miracle of MULTIPLICATION when he turned 2 fish and 5 loaves bread into a huge number that fed 5000 and still left 12 baskets as left over. Certainly, the anointing and miracle working power of our Lord Jesus Christ was responsible for this miracle and Jesus himself said "GREATER WORKS SHALL WE DO IN HIS NAME." Luke 9:16 says Jesus took the 5 loaves and two fishes and looking up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them then gave his disciples. JESUS, no doubt anointed, demonstrated the principle of ORDERLINESS in performing this particular miracle. The account of the feeding of the 500 in Matthew 14:19 and John 6: 10 only recorded Jesus telling the people to sit down, but this account in Luke 9:14 brings in an extra detailed information that Jesus said they should sit down in GROUPS OF FIFTY. The people were divided into little groups of common interest and they became teams with a focus. The principle of ORDER is very critical to us achieving success in life. Due to the fact that the people were orderly, they could distribute the food effectively and gather fragments that amounted to 12 baskets. When you are organized, you avoid wastage and prevent loss.   As a man or woman, group, church and even as a nation, we need put ORDER in our lives if we want to see progress. A common denominator of advanced countries is order. There cannot be high productivity in a state of disorder or confusion. Potential cannot be maximized in a state of chaos and disorderliness; efficiency cannot be high when one is not following a well laid out structure. Particularly as women we are the ones that mould the destinies of future generations. If we do not have order in our lives and teach our children, then society will be filled with lawless people that are difficult to tame and shape.   ORDERLINESS IN OUR LIVES AS WOMEN Your life as a woman must have order first before you can affect others because you cannot give what you do not have. From the time you wake up in the morning have a routine you follow. Pray first, study your bible, plan your day, exercise and set the day in motion. Learn to organise your thoughts, have a way of capturing ideas, thoughts and insights that you have. Either in a notebook, Ipad, phone etc. Then you can develop them and even write a book. That was how I wrote my first book in 2007. A lady walked up to me after I finished ministering and said all these things you keep telling us why dont you write it in a book.To date to the glory of God I have written 10 books. Put order to your finance. Have a budget and stick to it. Avoid impulsive buying and learn to save.   ORDERLINESS IN OUR HOMES The ambience of our home will determine the feeling you create. Organse your home to avoid clutter and heaps of clothes, toys thrown around and a dirty environment. Even if you have a challenge with house keeping, train your chidren to clean up after themseves. Have order in you kitchen, have large containers and storage boxes, dish drainers and cutlery containers,racks and other gadgets that help to create an orderly environment in our kitchen.   SETTING ORDER AND STRUCTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN This is so important as research has shown that children who have structure in their lives end up succeeding in life and will lead those who are disorderly. It is not the most brilliant children that end up being the most successful. But those who are determined and organized. Teach children the importance of order in their lives. The first thing in the morning should not be to watch cartoons or go on the computer, IPad or tablet to tweet or go on Facebook and Insatangram but to pray, make their bed and take care of their room and immediate surrounding even if there is a hired help in the house. We must assign daily responsibilities to our children such as emptying the dust bins, watering the plants, washing the cars etc. This helps to instill a sense of responsibility in our children.   ORDERLINESS IN YOUR BUSINESS OR CAREER When you better organise your shop or  business, your career there will be increase. Arrange your business in such a way that it expresses an atmosphere of invitation, neatness and trade. Groom your staff to follow this daily. your customers must like what they see because the first impressions matters. Peace, love and joy. 'Busola Jegede.

BE STRONG IN GRACE

He made me what I am, and his grace wasn't wasted. I worked much harder than any of the other apostles, although it was really God's grace at work and not me. WHAT GRACE HAVE YOU WALKED IN THIS YEAR?

Let not your heart be troubled

troubled       In John 14: 1-14, Jesus was close to being betrayed by Judas and He knew that his earthly ministry was coming to an end. At this time He was giving some last minute legacy statements and instructions to his disciples. He had washed the feet of the disciples just before the denial of Peter and He said to the disciples, “let not your hearts be troubled but believe in God.” In this world many things trouble our hearts. There is fear and insecurity; many have the fear of terminal sicknesses, accidents, death, poverty, failure, and rejection…….etc The moment we lose focus of God and allow our challenges to consume us we get overwhelmed. When you believe in God, you are looking up to Jesus; the Author and Finisher of your faith. Believing in God is believing His Word and trusting that what His Word says about your life and situation will surely come to pass despite the adverse circumstances you may be facing. At such times when the enemy begins to bring bad thoughts, fears, anxiety and despair. Reject the thoughts, remind yourself of God's past deliverances in your life and confess the Word of GOD CONCERNING your situation. Do not be anxious for anything but in everything with prayer and supplication make your request to God.... {Philippians 4:6} There is a place in God for you...the secret place of the Most High. During that trying or adverse situation in your life, there is a place God has prepared for you. Stay in the word, stand on it, rest on it and keep up your faith, therein your soul will be nourished. Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time from the face of the serpent. (Revelation 12:14 KJV) So let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Happy Holidays. ‘Busola Jegede.
