Matthew 6:19-20.
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Depression is a period of unhappiness or low morale and may include ideation of self-inflicted injury or suicide. While spiritual depression is when one is unhappy with God or the things of God. Which often leads to backsliding and spiritual death.
Meanwhile, what are the causes of spiritual depression? One is unanswered prayers. It just like a farmer that plant seeds, expecting germination and the seeds fails, the truth is that, the farmer would not be happy. When there seems to be no results from one spiritual exercise(s), one tend to be depressed spiritually.
However, our today’s text expressly admonish us to lay our treasures in a safe place (Heaven), in order not to loose our peace afterwards. Do know beloved, when you focus on heaven, earthly failure will not cut you off from God. Yet, unanswered prayers could mean, there is a sin somewhere, or it is not yet God’s time, or what you asked for, is not what you need at that moment and so on.
In conclusion, how does God weigh success? Is it by what you do with what you are given? What principle you put in place to succeed? Well, in life you need vision, passion and energy to succeed. To desire success is not wrong, but to desire good thing at the wrong time is wrong. May you not loose your joy of salvation in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will focus on God. And I will not be depressed spiritually.

PRAYER POINT:
Holy and Loving Father, in You nothing is hidden. Please Lord, give me grace to remain focus on You. And help me not to be discourage in the place of prayers in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
Heaven Is Real, Hell Is Also Real. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.”
Matthew 7:13.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Gal 5:19-21.
“Now the doings of the flesh are clear, they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions, party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
It is sadden to know that, many Christians don’t believe the reality of hell fire, for many argue that God cannot be callous to send His own creation to hell fire for destruction. Some jokingly says, “If God wants to throw them into the fire, and that because of their sins, God will angrily throw them over the fire, and they will land in heaven. And many other unthinkable utterances. What an ignorance?
Meanwhile, our today’s text, admonish us to beware of the work of the flesh, and to flee from every appearance of evil. Be yourself, for you are special and heavenly bound creation. Therefore, get prepared for heaven, leave behind you worldly competitions.
More so, many are the other things, we do as Christians, that displeases God and God is calling us out of those things: such as abortion, same sex marriage, unhealthy competitions and many other vices. And not forgetting other things we do, that compete with God’s attention in our lives. Things that we give more time, than the time we have for God and the things of God, this could be deadly.
Finally, beloved in Christ Jesus, the conclusion of the matter is that, *”Those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”* And if they cannot inherit heaven, hell will be their abode. And, there is no forgiveness in hell, it is only here on Earth you can be forgiven in order to make heaven. Let’s amend our relationship with God, before it may be too late. May God bless you and I with the grace to come to genuine repentance now and always in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not missed heaven. I will not missed my inheritance in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, You are who You say You are. In your mercy remove from me, anything that will condemn me to fire of hell. Help me Lord, to finish well, to finish strong and to inherit heaven at last in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

“And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Heaven is a blissful place of rest for the saints of God. God’s own throne and a paradise for His elects. Heaven is a glorious place, a place of an unending joy, love, oneness and peace. A place of rejoicing, harmony and eternal worship of the Most High God. A place free of rancour and sorrow. A lighted kingdom, where Hallelujah song filled up at all time and forever.
While hell, is a place of agony and unending torment, the place prepared for all the workers of iniquity. A place where it fire continue to burn year in and out. A place where their worms never dies, a place of total darkness and gnashing of teeth.
Meanwhile, our Bible passage, admonish us to do away with any form of attachment that may prevent us from getting to heaven, such as lies; big or small, killing, stealing, idolatry, hatred, fighting and many more. Beloved, sin is sin and any sin is capable of sending souls to hell.
Finally dear friend, let us run our earthly race with fear and trembling. Let run away from every known sin, and every appearance of evil, in order for us to inherit the kingdom of God. May we all finish our journey well and strong in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.

While the process, to his greatness commenced; he was sold out by his brothers, got to a strange land, faced several and severe temptations, suffered imprisonment, before he eventually became great. May you received grace to fulfill your destiny in Jesus name name, Amen.

These are, daily meditation, profession and observation of God’s commandments. It worked for Joseph, *”For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”* And where Joseph was expected to fall, the power of God’s word, help him through. May you not fall or fail God in Jesus name. Amen.

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:12.

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Timothy 6:10-11.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Love of the world, leads to backsliding, hating what God love and loving what God hate. It is running after what this world has to offer, that had made many to lose their peace and place in the King’s business.
The scripture says, *”The love of money, is the root of all evil.”* Invariably, when a man has strong desire for money, he is dangerous and could do anything possible or evil, to have money.
Furthermore, the love of the world or money, has pierced many hearts with an unending sorrow. Many had left their first love and divine assignment. While many died prematurely, without fulfilling destiny.
In conclusion, beloved in Christ Jesus, our memory verse strictly admonish us to fight the good fight of faith, as our calling demands. And we must professed and present our lives before all, as witnesses of God’s chosen for eternal reward.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.

Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will follow after Righteousness, Goodness, Faith, Love Patience and Meekness.

PRAYER POINT:
Father in heaven, to you all flesh shall return. Help me Lord, that my desire shall be to you and not to the world. And to fight the good fight, not to err from faith, but to lay hold on eternal life in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
