Happy New Year

It is that time and period when we rejoice that God has done it again for us.

In allowing us to not only see the last day of the outgone year, but also in bringing us into the new year, He has done what no man can ever do.

And because it is of His own mercy that we are in, then He would definitely guard and guide us with His Mighty Right Hand that nothing shall by any means harm us.

But there is one thing, we must never take God for granted for he who does that would surely remain grounded

And in 2016, if you really want to fly, then keep God where He ought to live, right inside your heart occupying your very soul and mind.

If you allow Him to take you by hand, then my friend, you shall not only achieve all you set out to achieve in this very year of 2016 but you would also arrive your destination safely.

Happy New Year my friends

May this year bring you closer to all that you want which have given you a source for concern for so long.

And that's my prayer for myself too

Let God Reign

The Faces Of Sunday

Happy Sunday to all our friends and fans

Dependable Sunday

And the 1st day of the new Christian Week has arrived.

It is called Sunday and it is the day that is set specially aside to worship God in His Holy Tabernacle.

Whatever arguments are available for or against Sunday as the day of the Lord are not being canvassed here but just to say that it was the tradition handed down to us by our early Christian progenitors with biblical support and so we are on that same track that they had trod.

However, our God is quite DEPENDABLE and that is why this Sunday and every other Sunday following shall be regarded as our #Dependable #Sunday.

Actually it is Sunday that gives meaning to the week as most persons who are unable to pray at home, unable to attend weekly Church activities  are able to go to Church on a Sunday to commune with God and to drop their burdens with Him.

He is a dependable God and I tell you, He is always there for you, it doesn't matter who you are, what you are, where you are from or your gender. He just loves you as you.

This Sunday, go meet the Unchangeable and Dependable God and your story shall never remain the same --- trust me, I know what I am talking about.

Have a pleasant Sunday

Hymn For Today

All people that on earth do dwell

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice

Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell

Come ye before Him and rejoice

The Lord ye know is God indeed

Without our aid He did us make

We are His folk, He doth us feed

And for His sheep He doth us take

O enter then His gates with praise

Approach with joy His Courts unto

Praise, Laud and Bless His Name always

For it is seemly so to do

For why the Lord our God is good

His mercy is for ever sure

His truth at all times firmly stood

And shall from age to age endure

To Father Son and Holy Ghost

The Lord Whom Earth and Heaven adore

From men and from the angels host

Be praise and glory ever more

Hymn For The New Year - 2

The spacious firmament on high

With all the blue ethereal sky

And spangled heavens a shinning frame

Their great Original proclaim

The unwearied sun from day to day

Does his Creator's Power display

And publishes to every land

The works of an Almighty Hand

Soon as the evening shades prevail

The moon takes up the wondrous tale

And nightly to the listening earth

Repeats the story of her birth

whilst all the stars around her burn

And all the planets in their turn

Confirm the tidings as they roll

And spread the truth from pole to pole

What though in solemn silence all

Move round the dark terrestrial ball

What though nor real voice nor sound

Amid their radiant orbs be found

In reason's ear they all rejoice

And utter forth a glorious voice

For ever singing as they shine

The Hand that made us is Divine

Hymn For The New Year - 1

God is working His purpose out

As year succeeds to year

God is working His purpose out

And the time is drawing near

Nearer and nearer draws the time

The time that shall surely be

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

From utmost east to utmost west

Where’er man’s foot have trod

By the mouth of many messengers

Goes forth the Voice of God

Give ear to Me ye Continents

Ye Isles give ear to Me

That

That the earth may be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

What can we do to work God’s work

To prosper and increase

The brotherhood of all mankind

The reign of the Prince of Peace

What can we do to hasten the time

The time that shall surely come

When

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

March we forth in the strength of God

With the Banner of Christ unfurled

That the light of the glorious gospel

Of truth may shine throughout the world

Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin

To set their captives free

That the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

All we can do is nothing worth

Unless God blesses the deed

Vainly we hope for the harvest tide

Till God gives life to the seed

Yet nearer and nearer draws the time

The time that shall surely be

When the earth shall be filled

With the glory of God

As the waters cover the sea

It's The Last Sunday Of The Year!!!

My friends, it is the last Sunday of the year 2015 and I just cannot keep quiet about it.

I want to shout a big Alleluia unto my God for making it possible for me and mine to be alive and kicking wella even to this very moment.

Our times are certainly in His Hands and He has shown that whatever or whoever is kept in the Hollows of His Hands can never be prized away without due process.

That He has seen us through from the 1st Sunday of this year which was January 4th 2015 to this last Sunday December 27th 2015 is no accident at all, it is part of His design to see that those who are called by His Name live out their life spans.

Today, if you have never gone to Church again after the 1st Sunday service, then for today, Go to Church, it is the last Sunday.

Ask God for GRACE and MERCY even to see us into the New Year 2016.

Have a very happy Sunday

Wrap Yourself Around God

My friends

After Saturday comes Sunday the first day of the new week

And this new week is the 3rd week of the last month of the year 2015, in the next two weeks or thereabout, we shall be singing the Nunc Dimitis for December and for 2015.

Even though every day we are expected to be close to God, however, it has been found out by observation and research that the best season to wrap oneself around God is this season.

Not only because of His Infinite Love which He showed to mankind by giving the Saviour to be born at a time like this, but His ubiquitous protection to those who are wrapped around Him such that no one can prize them away from Him.

If you are yet to wrap yourself around God, today offers another opportunity to do just that.

Go to church, confess your sins, make a solemn vow to keep away from them henceforth and then give Him your life.

He Who holds you in the Hollow of His Hands is ABLE and MIGHTY.

Today, Go To Church

And may He look down upon you with mercy and compassion from the Heavenlies and POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING

You are so blessed my friends

And I love you So!!!

Have a very pleasant Sunday

Ciao

Hurray - It's The 1st Sunday In December

Hello my Friends

It is the 1st Sunday in the last month of the year of our Lord 2015 popularly called and addressed as December.

I am the happiest person on earth to be alive today because it is not by power or might that I have that priviledge, but it is by the Spirit of the Most High, Who has taken a good look at me and said, "he still has a lot to accomplish for Oursakes"

How about you?

Are you happy to be alive today?

Are you seeing the brighter side of life?

Or are you busy recounting your woes and trepidations?

Listen, God has spoken a word concerning you, just as He spoke concerning me.

Go, find God's word concerning you and bask in it, it is the Word of life

And today my good friend, never FAIL to go worship Him in His Holy Sanctuary.

It is only Him that gives life, not money, not juju, not ogboni, not illuminati, not witches and wizards, not amorc, not ekankar ----------ONLY GOD

Worship Him today in Spirit and in Truth

Have a very pleasant Sunday

Love you

Dr. Jerry - the First: JP

It's Sunday

I praise You God

You are God from the ages past

There is none like You

I worship You Lord

Because Thou remaineth the same

from age to age

What You did at creation

You are still doing even up until now

How you quickened the body of Adam by breathing into him the breath of life

You are still doing for us who believe in You

I bring You Glory, Honour, Power, Majesty, Dominion and Thanksgiving for Your Mercy and Grace to me and mine, in bringing us back to life this morning.

Thank You Lord

Alleluia is our song

Friends

I am certainly convinced that God brought you back to life today

Let us honour and thank Him for His Goodness

It's a Sunday

Let's go worship Him like never before

Have a pleasant Sunday

This Is Sunday

 I woke up this morning and I sat in reflection of the sacrifice that Christ did for me when He went to Golgotha on my behalf.

I got lost in deep thought what the world would have been like if Christ had not died and resurrected.

I wondered and I just wondered and infact I am still wondering.

Christ's crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection certainly scattered the plans of Satan, changed the course of history and eventually changed the world's Calendar to such an extent that the day of worship of the Lord became the day of resurrection which was the first day of the week and which was also the day of Pentecost.

I know lots of Theologians and adherents to the Sabbath would argue against the above remark, but I am not in the mood for argument over things that were handed down to me by faith and which I was not there when they were decided and which I literally can do nothing about no matter how much I foam at the mouth while arguing.

All I know and which I propagate is that of all days, today is Sunday and it is set aside to worship God in Spirit and in Truth because it of such that the Father revelleth in.

God is seeking for men and women who would worship Him unconditionally not because they are benefiting from Him but because they know that give or take, they are nothing in this world while life remaineth without Him.

Are you earnestly seeking to worship God?

Are you being distracted by the cares and pleasures of this world?

Remember, none of these cares and pleasures would last beyond here, but your soul is EVERLASTING.

Today is a day set aside to FREE your SOUL from the bags, baggage and luggage that weigh it down. Free it and allow it to soar above all situational and conditional attributes of living.

Today is Sunday, it's a day for celebrating Christ, go to CHURCH

And the God of Grace shall look upon you with favour and thou shalt verify find favour with Him

Have a pleasant Sunday

This Is Sunday

 Good morning this morning. Hope you had a restful night, because I did.

I thank God for making it possible for us to be alive today, many who went home from sleep desired to be here today but they are not opportuned. That we are alive is not because we are holier than them, it is just of God’s own grace and mercy for which we must continue to give Him thanks and praise.

It is Sunday, a day to go worship Him in His Holy Sanctuary, kindly see that you do that.

There is nothing else we can give to God except to sing to Him and worship Him always.

Let us be merry in the Lord’s presence, even though He lives in us, but He acknowledged that a Temple is a necessary place for the congregation of His people so let us not forget the assembling together of the Saints militant.

While you do that, may He continue to look down upon you with grace from His Heavenly Throne.

He lives in me, He also lives in you, acknowledge Him today.

Have a very pleasant Sunday

Do Not Neglect The Assembly Of The Saints Together

This Post is for FIRST COMMENTER CONTEST

While Jesus was moving around Judea, doing good, raising the dead, healing the sick, curing the infirmed, feeding the hungry, He had men with him who He described as His disciples.

The men around Jesus may not have really understood Who He was and what His Mission on earth was, but they followed Him.

Some of them abandoned their lucrative businesses and occupations to follow Him.

Some even abandoned their families and friends to follow Jesus.

However, when His earthly Ministry was coming to an end, Jesus cautioned His disciples  severally, reminding them of what He would pass through and what they would suffer for His Name's  sake; but it was quite obvious that they did not grab what they were told.

Then came the time for the glorification of the Son of Man and Judas thought He was doing the Jews a favour not knowing that it had been so ordained and in that particular night, Judas betrayed Him with a kiss and Peter denied Him three times; so that when eventually Christ was crucified on the Cross, His disciples SCATTERED. They hid from the public eye because they were afraid for their own lives too.

But when they came to themselves again, they remembered that their Master had advised them to be at one place until the Comforter is sent to them from above, who shall lead them into all the truth concerning the Father and the Son and shall give them grace to withstand the vissiccitudes of life; it was only then that they traced their ways back to the Upper Room, where they waited for the Comforter and it was shared that while there, they COMMUNED together in the BREAKING OF BREAD, in FASTING and in PRAYER.

They shared each other's burdens, they worked together to edify the gathering of God's people.

In our time, we have the Bible with us, it is the EXPLICIT WORDS of God exposed to us for our learning, our teaching and our edification.

And a Sunday presents a good opportunity for those who hunger after Christ (Christians) to COMMUNE TOGETHER, to share bread and to pray together.

A Church is the congregation of God's people and not necessarily the BUILDING housing the congregation and so when we go to Church on Sundays, we are not only fulfilling the injunctions of the Scripture but also and most importantly communing with God Who ALONE has the Power and Might to keep us safe.

Today, don't just go to Church, but go to COMMUNE with God.

When we pray earnestly for others, God hears the groans of our hearts and He answers

Have a very wonderful Sunday

Remember me in your prayers

Hey! It's Sunday

HEY

It's SUNDAY

The first day of the Christian week.

A replacement for the Sabbath of old and therefore a day of rest

But we do every other thing other but rest on this day

But first, go to church and ensure that you pray not only for yourself but for SOMEBODY else.

Knock on HEAVEN's GATE for someone else

For a moment, just forget about yourself and your myriad of challenges

Lift someone up before the Lord

Let God's love flow to someone because you PRAYED for them 

And surely a thank you is waiting for you

Let someone be able to say for your sake, God lifted me up

The reward is exceedingly above our expectation.

So today, go to CHURCH

God bless you abundantly
