Scripture: “6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” – 2 Timothy 4:6-8.
Thought For The Day: The most important thing to do on Earth is to do His Will.
We live in a generation with inverted priority; a generation where many people do not understand the essence of life. Many people think that life is all about making ends meet; they think that once one has a job and is able to meet the basic necessities of life like having food to eat,”clothes to wear and the ability to pay one’s children’s school fees, one is living. The question is, is that all that life is all about? Not at all!
Now, if working, receiving salary and meeting basic needs of life is not the essence of life, what then is the essence of life?
It is living to do God’s Will!
God has a plan for us in each area of our lives – how to serve Him, who to get married to, the kind of work to do etc. Let me give you a practical example”: in my own life,”I planned, studied and trained to be a medical doctor, but later in life, I discovered His Will for me which is to be a preacher; that is why I am preaching the gospel today. So, the most important thing to do on Earth is to do His Will.
Beloved, I would like you to assess your life and ask yourself a question, ‘Am I doing the Will of God for my life? Am I in the centre of His will?
My counsel is, locate God’s Will in every area of your life and decide to live according to His Will for your life.
Remember this”: The most important thing to do on Earth is to do His Will.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to discover God’s Will and purpose for your life.
2. Do all it takes to pursue and fulfill God’s Will and purpose for your life.
Prayer: O LORD,”I ask that You reveal to me Your Will and Purpose for my life. I receive Your Grace to fulfil Your Will, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Scripture: Watch out! Don’t let my sudden coming catch you unawares; don’t let me find you living in careless ease, carousing and drinking, and occupied with the problems of this life, like all the rest of the world. Keep a constant watch. And pray that if possible you may arrive in my presence without having to experience these horrors. Luke 21:34-36 (NLT).
Thought For The Day: Whatever you would do if you had to live, do it now.
Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that one of the signs of the end time is careless living. We live in a generation of ease where people give less priority to the major things of life and give great priority to the minor things. For example, many people prepare massively for a wedding which would last for few hours in church but never care to prepare for a marriage that would last for a lifetime; people usually prepare diligently for academic examinations but never care to prepare for eternity with God. This is inversion of priority.
Now, in order to set our priorities right, I would like to ask you a question: what would you do if you had only twenty four hours to live on earth? It is important to ponder on this question because one day, you will surely be left with only twenty four hours to live on Earth.
Beloved, if you had only twenty four hours to live on Earth, would you go about making the latest hairstyle? Would you go after a man or woman to commit immorality with? Would you embark on the pursuit of money? Would you put on that seductive clothes or seduce other people’s husbands? Would you be embittered against someone; would you go about smoking or drinking alcohol?
I believe that if you had only twenty four hours to live, the consciousness of eternity would dawn on you; you would begin to make amends in your relationship with God in order to make heaven; you would not sleep with unconfessed sins in your heart; you would let go of every form of bitterness and offence; you would not retaliate or reply anyone when you are insulted; you would pray or preach to others and impact their lives positively. You would do everything possible to make it right with God in preparation for eternity in heaven.
Beloved, my counsel is, whatever you would do if you had only twenty four hours to live, do it now.
Remember this: Whatever you would do if you had to live, do it now.
Assignments:
1. Act with a sense of urgency in anything you ought to do.
2. Avoid procrastination in all areas of your life.
Prayer: O LORD, I ask for the grace to approach life and destiny with a sense of urgency, in Jesus’ Name.

Scripture: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Hebrews 11:1-2
Thought For The Day: Faith transforms possibility into reality.
Message: Faith building is a process that guarantees tangible products. Faith is a spiritual process with measureable spiritual products. The Book of Hebrews Chapter Eleven outlines the products of faith. It is important, therefore, to look at the products of faith.
Now, what are the products of faith?
1. Faith Gives Substance to Hope
Faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). Faith allocates substance to hope. This means, faith makes hope to become reality. Faith converts expectation to manifestation. Faith transforms possibility into reality. Faith takes intangibility and makes it tangible. Faith gives you a substance to handle.
2. Faith Gives Evidence to the Unseen
Faith is the evidence of things not seen; every man of faith sees what other people cannot see. A person of faith does not lack evidence or what to show.
3. Faith Gives Birth to Good Report
By faith, the elders obtained good report (Hebrews 11:2). Every man of faith is a man of news; that is, positive and result-oriented news. If you are not faithless, you cannot be news-less. To be faith-filled is to be news-full. There is something positive to hear about you always.
My counsel is, make up your mind to cultivate a life of strong and solid faith.
Remember this: Faith transforms possibility into reality.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to develop a lifestyle of faith continually
Prayer: O LORD, I ask for the grace to develop a lifestyle of faith, in Jesus’ Name.

Scripture: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is the word of faith which we preach; Romans 10:8.
Thought For The Day: Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization
The Word of God has several ministries or assignments in the lives of people. Yesterday, we saw that the Word of God renews or renovates mentality.
Today, we shall look at yet another assignment of the Word of God:
The Word of God is a faith Builder.
The Word of God builds a person’s faith. The Word of God is sent as fuel for faith in the heart of man.
Now, the way a car is driven to the filling station for refuelling, is the same way a child of God should go to the Word-station to get the Word of God whether in personal Bible study or in a congregational service preaching.
It is important to know that there must be a constancy of intake of God’s Word in order to guarantee the building of solid faith. For example, a car needs fuel on a constant basis in order to move; you cannot say that because you fuelled your car last month, you don’t need to fuel it this month again.
If you do that, the car would be immobilized. The fuel of one month ago may not handle the journey of today. In the same way, you cannot assume that since you studied God’s Word yesterday, you would not have to study it today. If you do that, your journey of faith would be stagnated and arrested.
Beloved, I counsel you to study God’s Word always. Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization. Previous revelations must be irrigated by fresh light in order for faith to remain sharp.
Remember this: Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to keep your faith intact in God.
2. Feed your faith always with the Word of God.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the strong unquenchable appetite for Your Word. Give me the grace Lord to nourish my faith daily by studying Your Word in Jesus’ Name.

It is a power-packed arena where God’s Presence, Principles and Power are at work for the salvation, healing and restoration of human destinies and dignities
Scripture: Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. – Acts 6:3-4
Thought For The Day: A change of thoughts translates into a change of action and a change of action translates into a change of outcome.
There is a purpose for every Word of God. The Word of God has a well-defined assignment or ministry to fulfil on Earth. That is why God makes us to understand that the Word that proceeds from His Mouth has a definite purpose to fulfil (Isaiah 55:10-12). Therefore, it is very important to understand the assignment or ministry of the Word of God in the life of the Christians.
So, what is the ministry of the Word?
God’s Word renews or renovates mind-set
God sends His Word to renew or renovate the mind and thought patterns of man (Isaiah 55:8-9). This means that the Word of God is the container of the thoughts of God; the Word contains God’s ways of thinking. So, association with the Word of God is renovation of mentality. Every time we step into the Word of God, our mentality is sharpened, our mind-set begins to change, our ways of thinking begin to change and our thoughts are renewed and renovated.
You know, whenever thought changes, action changes; a change of thought equals a change of action and a change of action equals a change of outcome. So, continuous contact with the Word equals upgrade of mentality and upgrade of mentality equals upgrade of activity, and upgrade of activity equals upgrade of destiny.
Beloved, my counsel is, do not just read the Bible religiously, study it and let it change your mind-set.
Remember this: A change of thoughts translates into a change of action and a change of action translates into a change of outcome.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to study God’s Word diligently.
2. Allow God’s Word to renew and renovate your mind-set for a profitable and productive life and destiny.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to study Your Word; Let Your Word renew and renovate my mind-set, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
