YOU NEED ENEMIES TO SUCCEED IN LIFE


When I woke up I was pondering about life, I discovered that:
Sometimes, to succeed in life you need ENEMIES.... Yes!!!
You need people who will mock you, so that you can run to God.
You need people who will try to intimidate you, so that you can be courageous.
You need people who will say "NO" so that you can learn how to be independent...I mean how to do it yourself.
You need people who will disappoint you so that you can put all your trust in God alone.
You need people who will work towards you loosing that job, so that you can start your own big business.
You need people who will sell your 'Joseph' so that 'you' can get to Egypt and be a Prime Minister in a strange land of captivity.
You need a cruel landlord, so that you won't be too comfortable in someone else's house, then you can build your own house on time.
But sometimes, when we are disappointed, we feel very bad and we tend to remain on that spot. Not knowing that the end-point of disappointment is the beginning of your accomplishments.
Understand this, "that every disappointment you once had came with a blessing!" However, it is not everyone that partakes in this blessing that I'm talking about.
You cannot see a new OPEN door while you are still putting all your attention, time and energy in trying to force the closed one to open.
And again I say, "No disappointment can ever come without an attached blessing!"
So, when the disappointment come, thank God for it and tell "HIM" to open your eyes to see the new blessing that HE has for you!
Disappointment is PHASE1 while accomplishment is PHASE2.I doubt if one can jump the protocols.
That is why it is called BREAKTHROUGH Something must BREAK so that you can go THROUGH!
Encourage someone today....you are lifted.
Please don't thank me for this post but thank God for receiving it.
Bless others by sharing this. For more information visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

CATALYSTS FOR MIRACLES



Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark
9:23
Read: Mark 9:19-29 (KJV 19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help
us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all
things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried
out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou
mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running
together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto
him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee,
come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and
came out of him: and he was as one dead;
insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him
up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his
disciples asked him privately, Why could not we
cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come
forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
MESSAGE
In the Kingdom of God, there is no room for
impossibility. Impossibilities only exist in the
realm of the physical. As far as the dictionary of
heaven is concerned, everything is possible.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible”
Luke 1:37
It doesn’t matter how hopeless a situation can
be, there is hope in Jesus. Without miracles,
signs and wonders, there will never be any
credibility to the Christian faith. In the realm of
the miraculous, events that are contrary to
natural laws can take place. This is because the
birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are
miracles. But, to operate in the miraculous, you
need to first find your identity in Christ Jesus.
Your newness in Christ Jesus will give you access
to His divinity so that you can call those things
that be not as though they are. However, there
are certain things that trigger the occurrence of
signs and wonders in a person’s life. An
understanding of the position of a child of God in
the scheme of things will determine how much
possibility such a person can command. There
are so much wonders that happen when the
Name of Jesus is called in righteousness. That
Name is enough to silence everything that God
has not planted in your life. That Name
commands immediate results. There is a release
of miracles once the Name is called in Spirit and
in truth.
When the irreversible becomes reversible, then the
miraculous is at work as we find in the case of
Ezekiel and his encounter with the dry bones. I
decree into the life of someone reading this
devotional; you are the next in line for a miracle in
your family. In Genesis 1:3, “God said let there be
light” and immediately there was light. Whenever
God is present, you can expect miraculous
happenings. What is that problem that you are
presently facing? By the power of God, it shall be
resolved now in Jesus’ name.
Doubts and unbelief are the opposites of the
miraculous. When we don’t believe what God is
saying concerning any situation, it becomes
impossible to receive what God has promised at
such times, but if you constantly walk in faith, it
will make your testimonies a reference point.
Worship is also a catalyst for the miraculous.
Every time you get to that point where you forget
about your problems and you worship His Person,
knowing well that His Person and Power is
greater than your problem, you can be sure that
your miracle is on its way. Also, when you enforce
the Name of Jesus on any situation, you can be
sure that the condition will change for the better.
At the mention of His name, yokes are destroyed,
oppositions naturally give way and long endured
problems become a thing of the past. God’s
presence in your life is a guarantee for a
continuous flow of signs and wonders. If you keep
His presence, you will live a life of continuous
victory and celebration.
Action Point:
Father, let me be the next in line for a miracle.

ADULTERY AND FORNICATION: DESCRIPTION AND CAUSES


“But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” – Matthew 5:28
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20
INTRODUCTION:
Sexual immorality is a grievous sin that God hates. It is, therefore, alarming that it exists even among
the members of the church (1 Corinthians 5:1-2; Ephesians 5:3). Sexual immorality is any habit or act
that contradicts God’s lain down plan, principle and practice concerning sexual behaviour. Adultery and
fornication are forms of sexual immorality.
Other forms of sexual immorality are homosexuality, lesbianism, bestialism, incest, rape, masturbation,
pornography, lustful desires and immoral thoughts. Although all unrighteousness is sin, sexual immorality
is considered grave and great sin before God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).
LESSON OUTLINES
1. Adultery and fornication described
2. Causes of adultery and fornication
ADULTERY AND FORNICATION DESCRIBED
Adultery can simply be described as marital infidelity. Adultery is any illicit sexual relationship between a
married person and other persons apart from his or her spouse. Also, adultery could mean sexual
relationship between a married person and someone that is betrothed (engaged).
Adultery and fornication are listed among the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19). Not to commit adultery
is among the first 10 commandments given to Israel (Exodus 20:14). Adultery was regarded as a serious
sin punishable by death (Leviticus 20:10; John 8:4-5). It is regarded as foolishness and eternal reproach
(Proverbs 6:32-33). Adultery starts from the heart and the lust of the eyes (Matthew 5:27-28; 2 Peter
2:14). Polygamy and polyandry also constitute adultery.
Sexual immorality or intercourse between unmarried couples is fornication. Fornication has gone viral
among youths in the church like never before (1 Corinthians 5:1). The temptation to commit fornication
or adultery is common to all, but you do not have to fall for it (1 Corinthians 10:12-13).
CAUSE OF ADULTERY AND FORNICATION
Some of the likely causes of adultery are:
1.Untamed lustful desire (James 1;13-14)
2.Covetousness (Exodus 20:17)
3.Lack of contentment or satisfaction of a party (1 Corinthians 7:2-5).
4.Separation, divorce and remarriage are gateways to adultery (Matthew 19:9; Romans 7:2-3).
5.Hardship or unforeseen circumstances
In addition, the following can lead to fornication:
1.Curiosity – (Genesis 3:1-5)
2.Youthful lust – (2 Timothy 2:22)
3.Peer pressure – (Exodus 23:2)
4.Undefined relationship – (1 Corinthians 7:2)
5.Unnecessarily prolonged courtship – (1 Corinthians 7:9)
CONCLUSION
Sex before or outside marriage is totally forbidden by God (Ephesians 5:3). Saints must abstain from
fornication (Acts 15:20, 29). Christians must consciously put to death fornication being a deed of the
flesh (Colossians 3:5). And Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.” According to all this verses in the bible , meaning everybody including male or female between the age of 10 -18 are all fornicator in one way or the other, provided you have feeling, expect the Saint ( Ephesians 5:3).

THE RADIATION IN HANDSET DENATURE YOUR SPERMATOZOA



In one of our training sessions,my mentor collected a Nokia torch hand set with fully charged battery. He brought a fresh egg. Then he puts the egg and the handset together and place them into a polythene bag. He tied the bag and told us to call the phone number..... Calling....calling.. ..busy.. busy.
When the battery is drained down, he gave the phone to the owner and cracked the egg.
Behold the egg was cooked!!.. done!!!. We were surprised and asked for the explanation. He told us that every handset emits electromagnetic rays. That it was the rays that was responsible for cooking of that egg. He also said that for device to be named " hand set " by international bodies is not by accident.
He said that it is never a pocket set. He went on to say that males (men) have egg resemblance in between their legs...scrotum. He admonished men to stop putting their hand set in their pockets, but to hold on hand. IfWill you continue to put set in your pocket, the radiation from it will denature your spermatozoa and cook your scrotum . That is why our men will marry 2 to 3 years no Issues. They begin to blame their wife. They will visit men of God for fasting and prayers. God will answer them and reverse the condition, but coming out of the church, they put back the handset in their pockets and continued to denature their sperm and cook their scrotum again.

ENSLAVED BY FALSEHOOD?


Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22
Read: Genesis 3:1-6 (KJV) 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall
not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he dideat.
Message
There are dangerous traps of the devil set to derail people from inheriting their possessions in Christ Jesus. There are many people who have been deceived and enslaved in falsehood because they were not sensitive. This is why Jesus warned that if care is not taken, even the very elect will fall for the deceits of the devil. By all standards, lies are the devil’s greatest weapons with which he enslaves people into falsehood. A lie is anything other than the absolute truth. The first man and woman to exist on the earth were victims of lie when the devil intentionally misinterpreted the instructions that God gave them to keep. It is upon this that the Bible tells us to be as wise as serpents, because the devil will always try to prove to the children of God how ‘unreasonable’ the commandments of God are. You have to make up your mind to obey God rather than question simple instructions that are intended to make you happy and give you rest. The devil will also make efforts to question the reputation of God. Some teachers have taught that one can continue in sin since grace abounds. False teachers will tell you to live your life as you deem it fit because there is liberty in Christ.
These are all lies of the devil; those who fall for them will always have woeful experiences. The scripture tells us not only to hate lies but to keep the utmost distance from it because those who
engage in lies are abominable in the sight of God. We need to be men and women who delight in the
truths of God in all matters. The problem with human beings is that we always do not appreciate the truth when we find it. There are people who prefer to seek counsel from people that will destroy them through wrong counsels. Some people know that there is nothing biblical about their church, yet they remain in such
places. There are various wolves in sheep clothing parading themselves as true prophets sent by God, but if you allow the Lord to open your eyes, you will see clearly who they are. Many people have suffered untold damages in the hands of the fake prophets; this is why you need to be watchful. If you are a liar, or you are engaged in anything fraudulent, you need to stop it before the wrath of God comes upon you. If you are living a life that misrepresents the Kingdom of God, you have to quickly amend your ways before it becomes too late. If you give yourself to ungodly living, you will be enslaved by falsehood because you have refused to retain God in your knowledge. Are you under a ‘man of God’ who is performing miracles, signs and wonders, but whose life does not resemble that of Christ? I will advise that you relocate immediately to where the Truth will find you.
Key Point:
You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set
you free.

COST OF DISCIPLESHIP


And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:27
Read: Luke 14:25-27 14:25 And there went great multitudes with him:
and he turned, and said unto them, 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross,
and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
MESSAGE
Children of God are to decide wisely what they want to do with their relationship with Him.
Jesus, in Luke 14:27 said; "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." A Cross is a symbol of responsibility, to say the least. It is a pointer to the fact that the path of discipleship is rugged and demanding. It demands a high level of determination to follow without looking back when faced with sufferings and temptations. This is why Jesus said in Luke 9:62; "...No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
The cost of discipleship is also found in the blessed call of Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:28-29: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." It is costly to follow Jesus Christ for many reasons. Firstly, He has a yoke and whoever wants to follow Him must bear that yoke with Him. An example of this yoke is found in John 4:34 where Jesus said; "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." Whoever fails to share this burden with Jesus cannot be His disciple.
Secondly, the one who wants to be a disciple of Christ must learn of Him, he must pattern His life after Christ's life and one major way to pattern one's life after Jesus Christ is to be meek and lowly in heart. Philippians 2:5-8 says: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
Beloved, you have to know that discipleship has its price, but it is highly rewarding. Jesus Christ said, "...and yes shall find rest unto your souls." (Matthew 11:29).
Action Point:
Father, help me to pay the cost of discipleship, so
that I can gain the immeasurable blessing of a
genuine disciple.

GOD GETS ANGRY TOO


For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
PSALM 30 : 5.
READ : PSALMS 30 : 1 - 5 :1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not
go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
MESSAGE :
A truth catches one's attention, God can be angry! If this wasn't the case, the Bible wouldn't have said; "For his anger endureth but a moment". Jeremiah 25 : 6 further corroborates this fact by saying that the God of love can be provoked to anger : "And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you
no hurt." It is only a false teacher or prophet that will teach that God is so lovingly holy, therefore, He can't be provoked to anger. This type of teaching
makes children of God take the love of their heavenly Father for granted. Having said this, we must also acknowledge the fact that His anger does not last forever. There is a condition though. When you don't take God and His mercies for granted, and you genuinely turn away from your wickedness, He will deal with you
as if you have never sinned before. Proverbs 28 : 13 says : "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but
whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have
mercy." When God is angry with an individual, that fellow cannot know joy. Psalms 32 : 10 says :
"Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he
that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass
him about."Going by this scripture, every man born of a woman is doomed for sorrow until Jesus Christ
redeems him from the curse of sin. Our trust in the work of redemption without taking the One who made it possible for granted, will bring us unspeakable Joy. When our relationship is cordial
with God, we can boldly say like the Psalmist; "weeping may endure for a night..." ( due to the variable nature of life ) "...but joy cometh in the morning." When I first became General Overseer, anytime I returned from my missionary journeys, my wife would be eager to tell me about all the matters that needed my attention. After listening to them all, I would ask for my food and after the meal I would go to bed. My wife kept on wondering about my attitude. I had to explain to her the fact that joy will come in the morning because I was leaving everything to God while I sleep. Faithful is He who has promised us joy in the morning; it shall surely come
PRAYER POINT : Father, let my morning of joy
come now.

NIGERIAN RELIGION AND THEIR DOCTRINE. THOSE THAT BELIEVED MUCH IN AN UNSEEN AND THOSE THAT BELIEVED IN SEEN.


It is unfortunate that most people don't know their believed or doctrines , In Nigerian today we have Muslims believers and Christians believers. Those that believed in Bible and Those that believed in Quran. But it is very sad that we don't have time for those our constitutionally books. "THE HOLY BOOKS" all we do is just enter our Mosque and say our prayers for Muslim believers and come out without taking time to read the holy book Quran and for Christians, we enter Church pray and no time for Bible reading .
According to Quran Sura 2:2-5 This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those whoward off [evil].
3.Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We havebestowed upon them;
4.And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee [Muhammad] and that whichwas revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5.These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
According to these verse it was clear that Muslim brethren believed much in an UNSEEN or SPIRITUAL. some Muslim believers take time to study and analysed it why some do not have time for the analysis which in most cases give NEGATIVE RESULT and at the end, it may lead to misunderstanding. For those who take their time to analysed it always get ACCURATE RESULTS.
While for Christians , they believed in SEEN, non SPIRITUAL .
According to the Bible Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Meaning they fight against the UNSEEN. This is the reasons why most Prophet or Prophetess when consulting we not tell you who is responsible for your problems. All they do is counselling and at the end give you a prayers point to follow up
Furthermore, Bible and Quran are sword of double edge, when you find yourself in the other side of it, your next step is reconciliation in the other words means asking for Mercy.
According to Quran , for Muslim brethren, Sura 76:31
31.He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepareda painful doom. While for Christians brethren Psalm 51:1-2
51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Meanwhile when talking about spiritual or an Unseen hardly you predict or get accurate result, for instance, a fornicator or an Adulteration is seen as a Spiritual things you cannot say I caught him or her when you are not inside the room with them, is only your thought that we indicate and as well remind you of the wrong doing that is if you care to know or listening to your heart . Read Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. for more understanding visit A Generation of young Christians by clicking here

WATCH AND PRAY, THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION


Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. MATTHEW 26 : 41. READ : REVELATION 3 : 1 - 6 :
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven
Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest,
and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found
thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore
thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall
walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name
out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
MESSAGE :
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the most practical personality that has ever lived on the earth. This
should not be surprising, since He is both God and man; He came to show us the way to live a
victorious and fulfilled life. He affirmed that He came that we may have life and to have it more
abundantly ( John 10 : 10 ). In the Lord’s letter to the Church at Sardis, He
told the Church that they were living in self- delusion; that they thought they were vibrant and
full of life, whereas, they were half dead and something must be done urgently to preserve the remaining half of their lives, because their works were not perfect before God. They were to watch and pray to rejuvenate their spirituality. Our compassionate Lord, who would not want anyone, particularly those who have confessed Him as Lord to perish is here in today’s reading appealing to and warning the Church to
remember how they started and hold fast the Word of truth. One lesson here is that God is not interested in the death of a backslider but that the backslider should repent and be saved.
“Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you; and I will take you one of a
city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.” Jeremiah 3 : 14.
Another interesting lesson we must learn from today’s reading is that the Almighty God knows
the state and details of our lives, both spiritually and physically. In spite of the indictment of the imperfect works of the Church at Sardis, the Lord still revealed the truth that not all the members of
the Church were corrupt. “Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.”
Revelations 3 : 4. The accurate judge said that there are names ( though few ) that are worthy! I pray that you will be declared worthy in Jesus’ name. However, you have to watch over your soul in this pervert
generation and pray always if you will be worthy at the end of the age. Moreover, the Lord promised that He would judge individuals in the church, according to each person’s deeds. There shall be no collective responsibility when it comes to spiritual accountability. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him.” Ezekiel 18 : 20.
ACTION POINT : Since the Lord knows your works; take a self-examination of yourself and
see where you need to repent, watch and pray for restoration.

*SEVEN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....*


1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
*MEANING*; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.
2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.* They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
*MEANING*; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*
*MEANING*; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*
When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.
*MEANING*; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.
5. *When a Female Eagle Meets a Male Eagle* and they want to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and flies back into the air with the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the ground while she watches. The male eagle chases after the twig and catches it before it reached the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher altitude and drop the twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then will she allow him to mate with her.
*MEANING*; Whether in private life or business, one should test the commitment of the people intended for partnership.
6. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.
*MEANING*; Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.
7. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.
*MEANING*; We deliberately need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us and add no value to our lives should be let go of.
*YES, NEVER GIVE UP,*
*BE AN EAGLE, NEVER EVER GIVE UP !!!* for more inspirational quote visit nigeriantopsecret.blogspot.com

THE PAINS OF SECOND DEATH AND THE CROWN


He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the Churches.
REVELATION 2 : 29.
READ : REVELATION 2 : 8 - 11 :
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna
write; These things saith the first and the last,
which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
(but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt
suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you
into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall
have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
MESSAGE :
The Almighty Father knows all that we do,
nothing we do is hidden from Him. This should
make us rejoice because it means that our Master
knows our works, ( assuming that our works are
good) and He will appreciate and commend us for
them. In other words, even if people don’t
appreciate us or if they misunderstood us, God
never misunderstands. In Revelation 2 : 9, the
Lord sent a message of goodwill to the Church in
Smyrna :
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
( but thou art rich ) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan.
There are beautiful things to note from the above
scripture: Jesus knows about the tribulation we
are passing through. Little wonder one of the
saints of old wrote a hymn titled : “There’s not a
Friend like the Lowly Jesus.” The Chorus reads :
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one!
Another interesting thing about Bible
reading is the courage that the Master gave to
the Church in Smyrna. He said : “Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer….be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life.” Beloved, this is a message from Jesus, the
Lover of your soul. Before this time, in John 16 :
33, Jesus made a categorical statement void of
ambiguity :
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me
ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.”
Jesus further assured us of the great reward of
escaping the second death if we will strive to
overcome ( Revelation 2 : 11 ). May the Lord help
us to overcome in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT : Father, strengthen my inner man
so that I may stand strong till the very end.
