NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!

There was a brother who lived a reckless life. his mother was always crying because of his way of life she cried and prayed everyday asking God to save and change her little boy that the father left for her alone to take care when he was just 5years...................Deniis dropped out of school when he was just 17 years he never finished his secondary school he was known all around as a notorious boy who steals, rapes and abuses everyone and anyone that comes accross him, until one day he came back after leaving the house for 4 days to meet his mother dead.

Hmmnnnn.............he cried and cried all to no avail all the family has deserted them due to his useless behavior, he ran to his mothers church and informed them, they all came weeping, took up the dead body and prepared for the burial. they never recieved help from the family.

Something great happened to the boy one day exactly 15 days after his mothers death, he knelt down to God asking for delivearnce, healing and forgiveness of sins. He remembered how he has turned a deaf ear to all his mothers wise sayings. he shouted, screamed and cried aloud OH GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME ALL MY SINS COME INTO MY LIFE AND MAKE ME A NEW BEING. He changed his friends and stareted going to church. he became an evangelist for Christ but things where really tough for him, he couldn't get a job because he was totally a dull head and his past deeds kept knocking at his door. 4 years after he became so frustrated because things were really hard for him, he needed a wife, money and job but the reverse was his case. in his heart he thought ''GOD WHY HAVE FORSAKEN ME AND MADE LIFE SO UNBEAREABLE FOR ME YOU HOW I USE TO GET MONEY IN THE WORLD BEFORE I GAVE MY LIFE TO I THOUGHT YOU SAID IN YOUR WORD THAT SEEK YE FIRST THE KNIGDOM OF GOD AND OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU SO WHERE ARE MY ADDITIONS NOW WHERE I HAVE EVANGELIZED ROUND TOWN NOT MINDING THE MOLESTATION AND CRITICISMS I RECEIVE FROM FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PASSERBY'' WELL I AM TURNIING BACK NOW I CANNNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE, I AM GOING BACK TO MY OLD LIFE''

Haaaa...............what a pity!!!! He went back to his old life brothers and sisters from the church came to minister to him again to hold on to his faith that all will soon pass away that it is just a test of our faith..........he cried and prayed with them but after they left he started his old life again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Unknowing to him they were already working up a job for him that will be paying him 170,000 naira per month for the start.

Lo and behold just the night they came to give him his appointment letter he went for an operation with his friends to rub a rich man...................hmmmnnnn he never returned he died from the gun shots of the police men others were arrested and jailed for further judgment.

My brothers and sisters what exactly are you going through and you think God does not understand. What particular situation have you prayed and fasted on and thought God is not ready to answer. Are you frustrated from unemployment, lack of money,love, joy or are you over 35 and yet no man or woman has ever called you. please NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is never too late or too early He does his things just at he right time pls keep your faith because HIS EARS ARE NOT DEAF THAT HE CANNOT HE YOU NEITHER ARE HIS EYES BLIND THAT HE CANNOT SEE WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH. HE NEVER SLEEPS NOR SLUMBERS HE WATCHES OVER US ALL and you know what He feels your pains all he wants is youur total submission. 

Why don't you switch over to Praise right now and you will see HIM MOVE MIGHTILY ON YOUR BEHALF. HOLD ON NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PRAYERS HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.

God knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end........remember he is the Alpha and Omega.
                                                        

OVERCOMING THE TEMPTER AND LIVING VICTORIOUSLY

 1Cor.10:13. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 

The Lord this day is directing our attention to this message that touches on the common experience of all men. Temptation is a common experience of all men educated or illiterate, rich or poor, religious or in-religious. Temptation in its self is not a sin it is yielding to temptation that is a sin. As you go through the bible you see that there are two camp those who overcame temptation and lived victoriously and those who were defeated in temptation they yielded to temptation thereby lost their liberty and victory. When we talk of those that overcame which the company the Lord wants us to join. These includes Joseph, Enoch, Job, Sons of Rechab, Daniel and his friends, Paul the apostle and our lord and Master Jesus Christ. These and many others were overcomers over temptation and lived victoriously. While there are others like Esau, Adam and Eve, David, Solomon, Samson, Judas Iscariot, Demas etc. they fail at the time of temptation and lost the victory of the believer. 

The tempter is the devil and he uses things, situations, men, women, friends, family members, money, your flesh etc. to pose temptation to you. But God has promised to keep us at the hour of temptation. 2Peter.2:9. Hebrews.4:15-16. SATAN’S PURPOSE IN TEMPTATION: Gen.3:1-7; Luke.4:1-13. Mt.19:3. Mt.22:15-18. Satan is the chief tempter. Till today he is still in the business of tempting men and women, boys and girls. And his purposes in temptation are as follow. (1) To cause people to disobey God and His commandments. (2) To make people to doubt God and His love. (3) To make people to depart from the path of righteousness. (4) To make people defile their life and conscience. (5) To destroy the purpose of God in the life of man. (6) To make people defeated in their life and Christian journey. (7) To bring disgrace in people life. (8) To degrade men and women. (9) To defame the name of the Lord through the sinner or backslider. (10) To damn the soul in hellfire. SAVIOUR’S PROMISE TO THE TEMPTED: 1Cor.10:13; Isaiah.43:1-2; Hebrews.2:18; Rev.3:10; Hebrews.4:15-16; 2Peter.2:9; Judevs.24-25. 

The Saviour’s promise to the tempted is very clear in the scriptures. He said I will make a way of escape, He will keep the godly at the hour of temptation, and he will supply all the needed grace. The Lord overcame in all the temptation that came to Him and He is able to support and succor us in all our temptations. It is His will that we overcome and live the victorious life.

 SECRETS OF OVERCOMING TEMPTATION AND LIVING VICTORIOUSLY: Ps.119:9-11; Mt.4:1-10; Mt.26:41; 1Cor.7:1, 5; James.1:13-16; Rom.12:11; Daniel.1:8; Gen.39:7-12; 1Thess.5:22. The following steps will help us to overcome temptations at all times and to live victoriously. (1) Watch and pray. (2) Store the word of God in your heart and meditate on it constantly. (3) Separate yourself from all objects of temptation and all appearances of evil. (4) Stay close to your spouse if you are married and if you are unmarried avoid all unnecessary closeness with the opposite sex. (5) Have self discipline and self-control. (6) Learn to say no to invitation to evil and to stand uncompromisingly in righteousness. (7) Lean on God and His grace. Jeremiah.35:1-18.

I PRAY THAT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY GIVES US THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON IN THIS CROOKED AND PERVERSE GENERATION. CHEERS!!!!!!!

   -- Mark Caine
10. "Is it any coincidence then that the most incredibly successful people have the most confident and positive attitudes?

    -- Napoleon Hill
18. "The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many of those who fail most ignominiously do enough to achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up with one hand to tear down with the other. They do not grasp circumstances and change them into opportunities. They have no faculty for turning honest defeats into telling victories. With ability enough and ample time, the major ingredients of success, they are forever throwing back and forth an empty shuttle and the real web of their life is never woven."
    -- Og Mandino
