ANTIDOTE TO AN UNJUST WORLD! ""''""""''''""""'""""'""'"""'''"""""""""'''"""""'''""""""''""''''"""''""'''"" Mordecai and Esther, just like Daniel and friends never let down their guard,in their lush surroundings. Instead,they held on even more tightly to their Faith in God. They deliberately saw the HAND of GOD in their lives. (1) Esther,a foreign slave girl became a queen in a strange land( a position she might never had attain,if she had pulled away from God, for allowing her to be a slave. Even,in the midst of the paganistic palace,that is actually the custodian of the idolatrous practices,she never forgot whom she was.( You may want to contrast her to our so-called Christian politicians)!. (2)Of course, Mordecai was her guardian, and he led her by example.( Unlike our pastors today...do as I say,not as I do)! He didn't press Esther to pressurize the king for a cabinet position...he yet sat at the gate. And when unholy cravings from Haman(because he refused to bow to him), began to weigh heavily on him,he didn't use his position as the Queen's uncle to implement revenge. Esther wasn't even aware.When he uncovered a * coup attempt* against the king,and it was confirmed,he wasn't rewarded or promoted. Yet did he not complain nor cried * Injustice"! He remained at the gate, absolutely believing what he did,was an unsolicited obligation, and thus expected no reward from it. Contrast with us today,the entire electronic,print and social media platforms will be congested with the perceived ingratitude of the king! Only when he heard about Haman's plot against the Jews,did he involve Esther. Again,he realized whom he was,so, didn't take the law into his hands, rather he went back to God in faith, likewise Esther. Here's a foolproof evidence that the Queen did never sold her faith, for her approved maids(all from the heathen's paradise,much the same way as Naomi and Ruth), they all prayed and fasted with her. (3) Esther didn't make a play with her position, assuming *airs*, as a queen. She respected the king, knowing fully well he was having fun elsewhere. Even at that,she wooed the king to her side,never pushed or compelled the king by forcing herself on him. Aware of man's savage nature,she went to God with her uncle.Did God fail them, NO!

THAT I MAY KNOW HIM(Phil.3:10)! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Theme: The Call To Righteousness(1Cor.15:34)! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> FAITH AS AN ANTIDOTE TO AN UNJUST WORLD! (Est.1:1-,Hab,2:4,Rom.1:27,Gal.3:11,Heb.10:38) ******************************************** Welcome back, and may God grant you more Grace to SAY NO in any area of your life that's yet to submit,IJN, Amen! From the Old to the New Testament, FAITH has been,and will always be God's uncompromising STANCE. That is,if you must worship Him,it has to be in FAITH or forget it! "The just shall live by FAITH",is a common theme throughout the Scriptures. Faith is a Supernatural phenomenon in the Bible. Infact, it's the foundation and bedrock of Christianity. But,just how easy is it, for the JUST to live by FAITH in an UNJUST WORLD? This is our focus in this study, for without FAITH,we can't please GOD! Scriptures say,to everyone is dished some measure of faith,but can that *measure* sustain us in a world so drawn away from its Creator? Hebrews 11, gives us a very lucid context of what FAITH is...(paraphrased),simply acting like it's so, even when it isn't,in order that it might be so, just because God said so. FAITH takes you beyond the limit of your logic, reasoning and senses.It is believing that God is telling the TRUTH! Now, to practice faith as a believer in a world pitted against God,the OWNER of FAITH,is certainly a test of will. This is the situation Esther and Mordecai found themselves in Shushan. Just like our today, it's a battle between those who know God and those who don't. Everyday in our lives as believers,we are always under pressure to compromise our faith in various ways and means! In the community, schools,offices, churches, business world, and even in the family circle,we are denied our rights just to provoke our faith in God.While some of these pressures aren't quite intentional,a greater percentage of them are premeditated... that's they are done to us to incite us to observe if we will breach our beliefs as christians. Look at the circumstances that led to Esther's queenship, and the attendant implications.In Shushan, Esther and her uncle Mordecai were living as slaves in a foreign land.God gave them up to their enemies as a consequence of their disobedience. They were the just living by faith in an unjust environment. But you know what, like most of us would have done,they never forgot whom they were(God's covenanted children),and lived as such, even in a heathen land! As you may have observed as a Practicing Believer,not a "shelf believer", the paradise of the pagans is always fraught with troubles. The proud King was overdrunk by his immense empire, and to prove it, ordered his queen,Vatshi to come over and display her beauty...this is the sorts of reveling vanities always present in paganistic gatherings. An equally vain and proud Vatshi disobeyed the prideful king. The cloud thickened and darkened. How dare she? Men are now going to be humiliated and subdued by their wives. That was the interpretation. And so,Esther who knew God was thrusted into the convocation of those who know not God.How did she fare? She compromised in the palace? No, not at all!

HEAVENLY FATHER, too often I have tried to deal with the problems in my own life, instead of flying to Your throne of grace for mercy and help in time of need. I pray that my faith may increase and my prayer life may reflect the continuous communion that the LORD JESUS enjoyed with You, in His earthly life. I pray that I may learn to approach You in confidence and in reverence. Help me to pray into Your will and purpose. In JESUS’ name I pray, AMEN.

A WORD FOR GOD'S SHEPHERDS (ISA.56:10-12) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 Dear Sirs and Ma'ams, a happy New month for all 🙏 Right! What's your driving passion for those physical projects...your true aim, objective,and motives for your embarking on those huge projects...*wonder auditoriums*, hospitals, schools,estates, institute of higher education, OPENING OF MORE CHURCH BRANCHES with set targets from their pastors,etc? Yes, God's shepherds are involved in so many innumerable investments and schemes to raise more funds...even the myriad of programmes hosted daily, weekly and monthly... what's your driving force? Is it really for salvation of souls? You are the only one who can answer the question,just as I answer mine...we can DECEIVE others,even INCLUDING ourselves,but can we deceive God?(Gal.6:7) Why is the generality of God's workforce more interested in PHYSICAL PROJECTS THAN SPIRITUAL PROJECTS? Why are we more concerned with what Men think of us, INSTEAD of GOD,whose mandate we are seeking to fulfil? Why are we more interested in FAME,POWER(WORLDLY) AND RANKINGS BY WORLDLY ORGANISATIONS? Is that really what we were called to do? Do we yet realize we are starving God's children of God's True position on how we should relate with the world? And we think God will tell us *Weldone, faithful servant?* When HE clearly told us *Heaven rolls out Its musical instruments to rejoice for just one saved soul?* Not rejoicing because of wealth ratings by Forbes,not rejoicing because of *medals awarded* by countries for inflated and unnecessarily published philanthropic deeds*,not rejoicing because of how we rub shoulders with politicians,nor because of how our members rever us... GOD'S WORD EXPLICITLY STATES THAT, HEAVEN ONLY REJOICES WHEN A SINNER REPENTS AND IS SAVED! Aside miracles,magic, exorcism, prophecies of death to the enemy,and magic or instantaneous wealth,and advice of investment for tomorrow,and acrobatics, including continuous relating of how*{YOU} MOVE YOUR OWN hOLY sPIRIT to perform*wonders* in the various programmes you have ministered,in and outside the country,etc,...yes,aside from all these, how many genuine souls have been converted to Christ Jesus,and are faithfully worshipping God now...I don't mean the ones worshipping you(signs and wonders)! If truly,your(our) gifts are from God,is what we're doing the purpose of the gifts...did God ask us to sell our gifts to raise money for HIS WORK? IS THE WORK OUR OWN OR GOD'S? IF YES,ARE WE DOING IT GOD'S WAY? LISTEN,DEAR BRETHREN; *IF GOD WAS INTERESTED IN PHYSICAL PROJECTS ABOVE THE WELFARE OF HIS CHILDREN, SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WOULD STILL BE STANDING TODAY,IN ALL ITS MAGNIFICENCE! IF GOD WAS SATISFIED WITH THE WILFUL DISOBEDIENCE OF HIS WORD, ISRAEL WOULD NEVER EVER HAD GONE INTO CAPTIVITY BY THOSE THEY DISDAIN AND TERMED* UNCIRCUMCISED!* God is angry, terribly and dangerously angry with us, custodians of His Word and even those of us who patronise them; 14. Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15. Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 16. And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. (Jer 14: 14-16) 8. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God. 9. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 10. Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter : (Eze 13: 8-10) It isn't too late to backtrack and make amends(Rev.3:20) May His Grace and Mercy see us through,🙇🙏 Amen!

Let no man say when he is tempted, that I am tempted of God. Why are you taking the exam? You are being tested because you are not holy. It is a test that comes because of our sins. Who tests Job? Sin tested Job. It's just God's permission. We need to know that God is not tempted and that no one is tempted. but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.(James 1:14). It is to be tempted from sin by one's own greed. It is only by destroying the sinful nature of human beings that we stop following the values ​​of the world. With our sinful nature, we are bound to be led by a spirit of delusion. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.(James 1:15). When we live under sin, our sense of sin is destroyed. It is not thinking that greed is a sin, but taking it for granted for the sake of success in the world. But the Bible says that lust begets sin, and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. We become death and life according to whom we are united. When we are united with sin, we become death, and when we are united with the righteousness of God, we become life. Our faith toward the world does not grow, we remain in death, and we live in obedience to sin. We hope someone will benefit from this discourse. Flaunting or proclaiming our faith without corresponding practical output can't break us free from the shackles of SIN. It's true Christ Jesus has paid the price of sin for us,BUT REMEMBER IT'S A COVENANT... BETWEEN YOU,ME, EVERYONE AND CHRIST JESUS. HE KEEPS HIS SIDE..... What about us, shouldn't we keep our side? Are you really sure,*FAITHING* it only covers for our unkept part? After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even FORTY DAYS, EACH DAY FOR A YEAR, shall ye bear your iniquities, even FORTY YEARS, and ye shall know MY BREACH OF PROMISE. (Num 14: 34) Let us therefore FEAR, LEST, a PROMISE being LEFT us of ENTERING into hYis REST, any of you should seem to COME SHORT of IT. (Heb 4: 1) Let's think about this..we will talk more on faith only not being enough!Amen🙏❤️

JUST A MINUTE PLEASE,( THE PREACHER'S CORNER)! ========================== THE SIN EMBATTLED SOUL! (ROM.7:19) ========================= The first and probably most important step towards keeping sin in check is by *NEVER CREATING AN EXCUSE FOR IT*! You know, that's exactly what the devil desires, to help create the room for its continuity. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (Rom 7: 19) EXcuses NEVER vindicate sin, but rather applaud it. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THAT WONDERFUL WARNING...*YOU RECKONED YOU ARE STRONG AND FIRM, YET *WATCH,LEST...* Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1Pe 5: 8) This is where we are having *real issues* today as believers. With Christendom rife with so many concocted, made believe and man-made doctrines and dogmas,for instance,the certainty of *ELECTION*, our souls have been *cooled* to the veracity of actual sin. The heartbreaking part of it, is those who lay claims to *always saved*, can't even confirm if they made that much taunted list of the ELECT! Remember what Paul said; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY. (1Co 9: 27) IF WE CAN'T BE FIRM WITH SIN, BECAUSE WE PROCLAIM FAITH AND LIBERTY, SIN WILL BE FIRM WITH US! For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.(James 1:11). As the sun rises and a hot wind blows and dries up the grass, the flower falls and loses its beauty, so the rich will languish in their deeds. Double-minded people are the ones who pursue and follow the world. Spiritually, they are adulterers. It is because we can pursue the things of the world only by abandoning the bridegroom Jesus. The things of the world naturally perish and decay with the passage of time, but life in Jesus is eternal. After death, we do not become eternal life, but we who are alive can become eternal life by putting on the dwelling place of God. But those who pursue the things of the world cannot put on the body of eternal life. Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.(James 1:12). It is said that blessed are those who endure temptation. God puts us into the fire to refine us like gold. Because through patience we are sanctified. What does it mean to be sanctified? It is the crown of life. We must run towards this crown of life. Only when we do not care about things that perish can we receive the crown of eternal life. God gave life to Jesus, and Jesus gave us eternal life. You must know that union with Jesus is union with eternal life. When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;(James 1:13).

On a human note,my own thinking that is, Lot wasn't chained to Sodom and Gomorrah...thus,if the culture and traditions there VEXED his soul,he could have relocated. Imagine,his daughters married those people whose ways VEXED his RIGHTEOUS soul...but Abraham had to send a servant to his kinsmen (SAME FAITH),to get a wife for ISAAC. I only see God's Hand upon him because of Abraham . I believe that,if Lot wasn't enjoying the doings around him secretly in his heart...that story would have been different, because his wife would have come around; Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, NOT ONLY DO THE SAME, BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM. (Rom 1: 32) You can now see,why it's important that we take care about the kind of places we enter and the type of company we keep. WE SHOULDN'T BE FOUND WHERE GOD WOULDN'T BE PLEASED TO FIND US IN, OR WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE A HINDRANCE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. When we return,we shall continue with the implications of *looking back* God bless everyone Amen 🙏🥀

THE DIARY OF A CHRIST FOCUSED CHRISTIAN! 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 LOOKING BACK; THE LOT'S WIFE SAGA...THE LESSONS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================= But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Gen 19: 26) Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. (Deu 24: 9) Remember Lot’s wife. (Luk 17: 32) Perhaps, the verse above should be the second shortest verse in the Bible, after *And Jesus wept* in John 11! And both verses attributed to Christ Jesus are laden with ominous undertones. Lord Christ Jesus,in your Name,I ask for mercy and grace,which only is capable of breaking into pieces out hearts of stone,that Your Word might sink into us, and re-mould us into Your desired shape,Amen 🙇🙏! Hardly is there any Christian who hasn't heard of Lot and his family. Equally,is there hardly any Christian who hasn't made the same dangerous mistake Lot's wife made,at one point or the other, that's if we are sincere with ourselves. We have,but escaped because of *GRACE* unlike Lot's wife,for at that time grace wasn't readily available as It is today. And that *GRACE* we are wilfully ABUSING today. Everything about this hardly known Lot's wife,speaks of the love,lust and unbridled attachment to material prosperity...*THE VERY AND SAME ALLURES SPEEDILY BUT STEADILY SINKING THE PRESENT MATERIAL WORLD* The story of Lot’s wife in the Old Testament is a great lesson to all believers on how we should live our Christian lives of no compromise or looking back like Lot’s wife did. Lot’s wife is a great example that we can learn from when dealing with temptation or sinning. It is important for us as Christians to have faith in God’s promises and trust Him as He leads us through life’s trials and tribulations. The bible verse, “but Lot’s wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt,” in Genesis 19:26 reminds us of the danger of looking back as believers. It is why our Lord Jesus Christ tells us we must remember Lot’s wife whenever we think of looking back or turning to the world we once forsook if we are not to end up like her. Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt and perished because her heart was still in Sodom even if she was out of Sodom and Gomorrah as she couldn’t stand the things she left there getting destroyed by fire. Allow me to point out the effect of whom we associate with here, before we move on. It's said *Birds of the same feather flock together* This is true of Papa Lot, and if he makes it Home, it's certainly by GRACE. It's evident that Lot's wife is at home with the ways of the world,but her husband wasn't innocent either. Because,when his Uncle(Abraham) who has been fully responsible for him since he lost his parents,decided to avoid further conflicts between their herdsmen by dividing the land...a land that was Abraham's by entitlement,*HE COULDN'T ACCORD THAT UNCLE THE RESPECT OF CHOOSING FIRST(EVEN IF IT'S BY PRETENCE)* No,he didn't. Rather, because of his covetousness, greediness and selfishness,he went ahead and chose the greener pastures, without blinking an eye, or caring about the remaining side that was like a forsaken land...he didn't care a hoot about a man who has sacrificed so much for him... little did he realise that*ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD* He didn't know he chose death...first, he was captured,it took his Uncle again with his 300 servants to rescue him from either slavery or death. Then,came God's destruction, and again,his ever forgiving uncle ,stood his ground with God to appeal for his safety,which God granted because of Abraham,but nearly scuttled by himself. So,it isn't far-fetched how made out with his wife, they're one of a kind. Thus, I must CONFESSED I wasn't satisfied with the title bestowed upon him by Apostle Peter; 7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, VEXED his RIGHTEOUS soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (2Pe 2: 7-8)
