Be Like the Macedonian...

...but my God shall supply lol your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

- Philippians 4:19

One of the most-quoted and misquoted bible verses is Philippians 4:19. To really understand why Paul prayed that prayer, you need to read from verse 14-19.

That prayer was as a result of the giving by the church in Macedonia. They constantly gave to Apostle Paul Ministry, even when Paul didn't request for it.

It was their giving that brought about the prayer. They gave and He blessed them. Philippians 4:19 is not for a stingy person, neither is it for a lazy person. Today, we have all done that verse into a confessional statement. It is a prayer for givers. It's a prayer that we pray with our act(giving) first before praying it with out mouth.

Do you believe the Lord shall supply all nyour needs? Do you believe He will meet you at every point of your needs? Then you shouldn't have problem giving.

Everybody loves a wonderful and bountiful harvest but not everyone want to sow. There is no reaping without sowing. We should learn from the Macedonian Church, they have consistently.

I pray for you that as you made up your mind to be giving to God, He will supply your every need in Jesus Name.

It's a blessed morning. Everything about you this week is blessed? You are favored in this week... in Jesus Name.

Good Morning and do have a marvelous week...

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
