RAISING DISCIPLES FOR WORLD OUTREACH

  Great men lose their great success for lack of boundaries or restraint.  It is better to be careful than to be sorry. (ONE CHAPTER A MOMENT, David & Mirella, OLAYINKA) No one is fashioned or called to conquer the entire world. We all have the location and limitation of our influence (only God is infinitely limitless).  Samson was made with great strength. But God set him the limitation, even before his birth:  "Be sure not to drink any wine or beer, or eat any forbidden food; and after your son is born, you must never cut his hair, because from the day of his birth he will be dedicated to God as a nazirite. He will begin the work of rescuing Israel from the Philistines." Judges 13:4-5 However, Samson love for things outside his boundary made him lose the secret of his purpose to a prostitute Delilah and he died without divine protection.  Be careful how you move your life around. A lot of things may provoke your heart, but your opportunities lies in your p...

 THE KING IS COMING "Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you." Isaiah 35:4 NLT We are living in a precarious time. A lot of things could ignite fears in our hearts, ranging from ✓ government rules that could adversely affect our businesses ✓ relocation that could temporarily affect our family lifestyle and income ✓ completion of projects ✓ diseases and sicknesses that surface in the family ✓ paying a rent ✓ desire to meet up with a targeted goals  ✓ fulfilling a dream or projected vision, etc The list are endless. Be assured: Your God is coming to destroy YOUR ENEMIES. Seriously, fears are enemies of our peace and joy. They are enemies of our progress and stability of heart.  Remember,  ✓ Psalm 112:6-8 KJV Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lor...

As we revel in seeing the new month and coming gradually to the end of the year. We must make every effort to check ourselves daily; knowing fully we are not getting any younger but older and the time of our life is passing away. This is a reason to live right and put things right "Another reason for right living is this: you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for the coming of the Lord is nearer now than when we first believed.  The night is far gone, the day of his return will soon be here. So quit the evil deeds of darkness and put on the armor of right living, as we who live in the daylight should! Be decent and true in everything you do so that all can approve your behavior. Don't spend your time in wild parties and getting drunk or in adultery and lust or fighting or jealousy.  But ask the Lord Jesus Christ to help you live as you should, and don't make plans to enjoy evil". Romans 13:11-14 TLB I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who...

 "I have no doubt that the world stands because of the prayers of Christians." Aristides of Athens  But, I am doubtful that not many Christians takes the discipline of prayers very seriously. Why do we fail to pray? Because we depend so much on our strength and techniques.    In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express.  And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will. Romans 8:26-27 GNT

Confess your faults and sins to your friends, Christian brothers and sisters or your spouse, so your prayers are answered clearly. Don't hide away from your flesh!  'Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other SO THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.' James 5:16 NLT You may be dying away hiding away. Come clean. (One Chapter A Moment, Mirella & David OLAYINKA). The phrase 'So that you may be HEALED' is seriously significant in our spiritual making. Confessing to God leads to FORGIVENESS. But, only by confessing to other Christians can we be HEALED. Forgiveness and HEALING is congruent. The physical and Spiritual healing are tools for our  Spiritual formation.  What peace and healing we often forfeit by not taking the stride of faith.  It is not a sign of weakness but rather of strength and confidence in Christ when we confess to one another. 

Great understanding amplifies efforts, but lack of understanding buries skills and efforts underground... God wants us talk to Him on clarifications of our purposes otherwise we will have to run on our own fuel and may struggle all lifelong (One Chapter A Moment, Mirella & David OLAYINKA) Fools are so exhausted by a little work that they can't even find their way home. Ecclesiastes 10:15  So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Ephesians 5:15-17 

'Humans can use you and dump you once they're done with you or better opportunities show up. Always bear that in mind! A true child of God will never do so though!' (One Chapter A Moment, Mirella & David OLAYINKA) Even the most esteemed and godly institution in the world--marriage, sometimes ended up in divorce when sexual and personal gratification must have been achieved.  Exodus 1:8-10:  EVENTUALLY, A NEW KING CAME TO POWER IN EGYPT WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JOSEPH OR WHAT HE HAD DONE. He said to his people, "Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don't, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country." Joseph used all his youthful and precious life serving the Egyptian government. He served faithfully and broke record. It is unthinkable that any king would assume power in Egypt without knowing or ...
