Word For The 27th Week Of 2018

Topic: Thanksgiving- The Will Of God

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I welcome you to the start of a new month and the second half of this year. To start this half, the LORD would have us to be reminded of a key instruction in the scriptures concerning the will of God.

When we are faced with decisions, we often seek to know the will of God and it is very important that we know what this will of God is. In the text for this week, we see obviously what the LORD wants us to do as His will in everything we find ourselves- give thanks!

Thanksgiving is the will of God for us in any situation. When you don't know how to react, give thanks for it is the will of God. Thanksgiving is very certain to be at the center of God's will for us everything. It is often said that you can never praise amiss. It is true.

Yes, there are unpalatable circumstances that you would be unreasonable to be giving thanks for, however, the bible says we should give thanks in all things and not for all things. You may not give thanks for an accident that occurred, but inside the accident, there are still many reasons to give thanks.

I urge you to give thanks to God concerning every circumstance that you find yourself. It is the will of God.

Have a great week

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
