So When Will I Start?

A lot of time you have many things in your mind to do and you found out that, you are unable to do it, may be because you don't have the resources or you don't have the support from people you think will support you, or you yourself is the cause of the problem.

Well this morning I was just going through my blog again and I ask myself "So when will I Start?" there is something on my mind that I want to do, Sincerely I love to do it but I just noticed that am not making any progress on it, see what I plan to do, I have a vision, mission and the plans. sub!!!

“The Heartened Concept Int’l” is a non-profit making, non-governmental organisation, whose aim is to bring about a positive change to the world by providing selfless services to the challenged, such as the academically less-privileged, the teenager/youth, the HIV/AIDS Victims and the missionary, for tangible and meaningful impact."  

But am not going forward, what exactly is it that is warring within me, am not happy about it, I need to move, many people are there wasting away because they don't have information and help to get to the next level of life, I don't have any excuses for my failure, I need to do something and now is the time to do it.

Schools are on vacation now and that's my starting point, though I have met with one or two but yet am reluctant to going again, am so worried, this is taking like forever, my hearts are heavy, I need a help, could someone just help me, am feeling like a failure, I need someone to help me out.

How will I go forward, how do I move to the next level, am I stocked or what exactly is wrong with me? am not like this.... Oh God I need you now to come to my rescue, where else could I go, no other name that I might be saved, cast all my cares on you and I will follow you.

Let me pray a simple prayer of help to God for a way out.

Lord Jesus, you said we should ask anything in your name that you will do it for us, Lord Jesus I know am in a fix already, I need your help to go forward, my heart is so heavy and I need you to help me lighten it up, please Lord Jesus help me to overcome this present challenge and expose me to the help I need to move to the next level, help me to recognise the help as you bring it along my way. Thank you Jesus for your love and help, in Jesus most precious name I pray. Amen.

My Virtuous Woman

Meet my wife. Today marks the beginning of another year in her lifetime and the first day of another year of our official wedding anniversary. I celebrate you my queen and my crown.

This is the description of who am talking about, a virtuous woman who is very careful to recommend herself to her husband's esteem and affection, to know his mind, and is willing that he rule over her.

1. She can be trusted, and he will leave such a wife to manage for him. He is happy in her. And she makes it her constant business to do him good.

2. She is one that takes pains in her duties, and takes pleasure in them. She is careful to fill up time, that none be lost. She rises early. She applies herself to the business proper for her, to women's business. She does what she does, with all her power, and trifles not.

3. She makes what she does turn to good account by prudent management. Eve though many undo themselves by buying, without considering whether they can afford it. She provides well for her house. She lays up for hereafter.

4. She looks well to the ways of her household, that she may oblige all to do their duty to God and one another, as well as to her.

5. She is intent upon giving as upon getting, and does it freely and cheerfully.

6. She is discreet and obliging; every word she says, shows she governs herself by the rules of wisdom. She not only takes prudent measures herself, but gives prudent advice to others. The law of love and kindness is written in the heart, and shows itself in the tongue. Her heart is full of another world, even when her hands are most busy about this world.

7. Above all, she fears the Lord. Beauty recommends none to God, nor is it any proof of wisdom and goodness, but it has deceived many a man who made his choice of a wife by it. But the fear of God reigning in the heart, is the beauty of the soul; it lasts for ever.

8. She has firmness to bear up under crosses and

disappointments. She shall reflect with comfort when she comes to be old, that she was not idle or useless when young. She shall rejoice in a world to come. She is a great blessing to her relations. If the fruit be good, the tree must have our good word. But she leaves it to her own works to praise her.

What a wonderful woman you are, my sincere prayer for you this year is that you will live to enjoy the fruit of your labour, you will make more money this year and your light will shine everywhere you go.

I love you dear. Happy Birthday!!!!

Spirit-Inspired Devotion

Day	Sunday 27th, April 2014.
Speaker	Pastor John Udofa (Ph. D)
Topic	Spirit-Inspired Devotion

·                     Don’t be dogmatic in your doing, it is not mandatory, or there is no law that says that you must do your devotion in the morning before you leave the home

·                     Fine, you can pray and commit your way to God for leading and direction, but not that it is compulsory to do devotion in the morning.

·                     Devotion needs a relax mind and time, as such you must create a time and most especially that is convenient, so as to really get the message and understand what the Holy Spirit teaches you.

·                   Before you study the word of God, it’s important that you pray first that the Holy Spirit to guide you, teach you on what you want to read.

How Do You Study The Bible

·                     Reading to get understanding of what the word of God says

·                     The first, thing you want to seek first is the understanding of what the word of God is saying.

·                     You might require more than one version of the bible to really get the understanding of the word you are reading.

·                     Some bible comes with references, which relates the verse you are reading with other verses of the scripture.

·                     The second thing is the application of what you read to your own life

What Does it Mean to Meditate

·                     Meditating is having a continuous and deep thought of God’s word, serious contemplation.

·                     The purpose of meditating on the word of God is basically allowing the word of God to sink, and have tap roots in you, so that it can settle in your (your spirit)

·                     So that when you need that word, you can remember the word of God that is already, inside your spirit.

Living Righteously

·                     Living according to the standard of God according to his word.

What is Christian Service

·                   God has not saved us to be bench warmers in the church, but that we do work for God in the church of God.

Make sure you are always say your prayers our, always talk; don’t keep it to yourself in your mind.

Don’t just shake your body or move your body, but always say your prayers out.

Don’t ever lose your focus when you are praying, let your prayer be coordinated.

Jesus’ Visit to a Strange Hospital

Day	Sunday 6th, April 2014.
Speaker	Pastor S. A. Abiodun
Topic	Jesus’ Visit to a Strange Hospital (John 5:1-16)
Points	It’s a story of Jesus in Jerusalem, he wanted to attend the feast but when He got there, instead of going to the feast He first visited the pool called Bethesda. When Jesus got there He saw a man having an infirmity 38 years. Joh 5:6-7  When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?  Jesus having compassion on him asked him “will you be made whole”? What should be his response? “Yes I guess you will say” but this man never said so, see his response below.  (7)  The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. The man was just saying what was not his need. The question is what’s your need? Jesus is asking you today. Even as you read be expectant to receive from God, that special thing you need from God. Note this that it’s not all the time the Pastor comes to preach that miracles happen, but when the people don’t even expect that is when the miracle happen. Until you have prepared yourself to receive from God you will not receive from God. Any time you come to God’s presence always be ready to receive from God. Be prepared always to receive something special from God. This you should know that whatsoever God has done in your life will remain permanent and you will always remember how God did it. The visit of God to you in a day will be the turnaround of your life. And as you read today God is ready to do something in your life He’s seen your heart and He knows what you are going through, just ask Him now and you’ll will get it. Joh 5:8-9 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.  (9)  And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the Sabbath. Whatever has held you down from worshiping God is removed from you today in Jesus’ name, amen. After the man had received his healing, people started querying him and start disturbing him, but He led them to Jesus as the healer. Today God will silence everyone that wants you to remain in the same position in Jesus’ name. Listen today is the day of your blessing. I prophesy to someone’s life, today the Almighty will wipe out your tears, irrespective of what you are going through, now begin to rejoice. Until you have met with the person God had sent to meet your need, your life may not go forward. God will bring such person to meet with you in Jesus’ name. I declare into your life today that the person ordained to meet with your need in life will come your way now in Jesus name. The person the Lord had blessed because of you will locate you in Jesus’ name. Today God will meet your need. And whatever you have been praying for, God will give them into your hand in Jesus name.

Remember You have an End

Day	Sunday 30th, February 2014.
Speaker	Elder Amira
Topic	Remember You have an End (Ezekiel 18:20-24)
Points	This is to inform everyone that there is an end to what we are doing today in life, and as a result of this we should be conscious of this, because what will it be like if eventually we missed it at the end of life, when those who think will not make eternal life are the ones that made it and the reverse was the case. Eze 18:24  But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. Deu 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: ·                   Your decision in life will determine where you eventually land yourself, God has given us options to choose from, he also advised us on the best option to take ·                   John 14:3. We should be aware that this world is not our home, we are just a stranger here on earth, and one day we will go back home, so where will that out home be, where are we going to spend the rest of our lives after death. ·                   Your commitment to God as a member or God’s family will help you in your life to make it to heaven but it is not a guarantee for you to get to heaven. ·                   Be careful also to note that your state of wealth does not determine your movement to heaven, so if you are rich or wretched it does not license you to heaven. ·                   The only license to heaven is surrendering your life and believing in Jesus. ·                   Partial obedience is disobedience and leads to a painful end. ·                   One of two things must happen; either Jesus comes or death. Both can happen unexpectedly, so be prepared. ·                   It’s important you ask God to help you, and take away anything that will disturb you from getting to heaven. ·                   Anything that can stop you from getting to heaven must be stopped now, so call on God to help you so that you won’t loose heaven.

Stay Connected to God

Day	Sunday 23rd, March 2014.
Speaker	Deacon Kolade Adeleye
Topic	Stay connected to God. (John. 15: 1 – 14)
Points	As time goes by, things happen every day and they are simply not palatable. News of disaster here and there which is a confirmation that the world is coming to an end. God remains the only good news we can listen to and as such we can’t but stay connected to Him This message will make us understand that it is only those who stayed connected to God that will stay forever. Benefits of staying connected to God 1.      God defends His own. (Ps. 91: 1-16) Those who are connected to God are sure of protection because he is the only one that can assure you of perfect protection. God’s word assures us that He will take god care of us, He will always defend us irrespective of what the enemies of our life does.           Ballam erected an altar to curse the people of God (Israelites). But that same altar was turned to a venue where his people will be blessed. (Numb. 23) But the most important thing is that we stay should stay connected to God. We should also be aware that even when we don’t know it, God will always fight for us. 2.     God is faithful. (Numbers. 23: 19, 2thess. 3:3) But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from falling 3.     Only God can take you home (Jude. 24) Its only God that can keep you faultless and can make you appear before his throne without guilt. You can’t do it when you are not connected to Him. 4.     Fruitfulness is guaranteed (John. 15: 5)  With reference to the text of the message, it is only God that can make you fruitful and successful in life. He gives you creative ideas to survive even when the economy is not encouraging. How can we stay connected to God 1.      Believe God. (Heb. 11:6) It is important you believe the existence of God, His power and that He rewards those who diligently seek him. 2.     Align your plans with him (Amos. 3: 1-3) Your plans must be aligned with God’s plan if you must stay connected to God 3.     Communicate with Him regularly Commune with Him in prayer and quality worship, because when you are not in tune with God, then there is an issue. 4.     Keep His commandment (John. 15: 10,14) You can’t keep God’s commandment without knowing His commandments. 5.     Keep away from Sin (Numb. 23: 21) The farther you are from sin, the closer we are to God. God helps those who do all they can and possible to live right by making them clean again and again. 6.     Stay resolute. Come what may, we have to stay firm. There will be times of trials and challenges, but His grace is sufficient. Irrespective of what comes your way, because there will be times of difficulty and stress. You must be ready for anything that comes. Paul said NOTHING can separate him from the love of Christ. (Rom. 8: 35-39) This should be our decision and confession at all times, because in all that happens we are more than conqueror through Christ our saviour.
