GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

Jer.29:11, Gal.1:15, Jer 1:5. All these scriptures show us that God has a definite plan for all of us. Some knows God’s plan but because they want to please men, they jettison God’s plan, some others because they want to  gratify the flesh conclude that following God’s plan will be difficult, they therefore pack it aside; every one of us need to know and follow the plan of God for our lives. God has a plan for every area of our life. There is a plan for your marital, academic, financial and every other area of your life. May you locate this plan in Jesus Name.

From Gen 15:13 God began to reveal unto Abraham His plan for him and his generations after him up to 400 years ahead. God showed him that Israel will be in bondage for 400 years and will thereafter come forth with a great substance. God showed him he would die in a good old age and in peace. God also revealed to him that his seed would repossess the land He has promised him. If God showed Abraham his future, God can also show you your future and even that of your children after you. God can show you things ahead. All what God told Abraham will happen according to His plan for Him happened. However, Abraham cooperated with God and did not walk contrary to God’s pleasure. Abraham pleased God. He followed God Fully. If the plan of God would work in our lives even after we have discovered it, we must live our lives for Him. Our lives must be pleasing unto God so that the devil will not have power to scuttle the plan.

In Gen. 25:23 God revealed to Isaac and Rebecca the future. Rebecca was told she had two nations in her womb and that the elder will serve the younger, Rom 9:10. This speaks of the reality of a plan. Without any iota of doubt, God has a plan for our lives and He is willing to reveal it unto us if we are willing to find out. How do I find out the plan of God for my life?

Get hold of the Word of God to discover God’s plan. The plan of God is contained in His word which He has made available to you and me. You are about to be ushered into a new level of revelation that will key you into God’s plan for your life. God has a plan for individuals, for families, for communities, for nations and for the church. You are not an accident! Where you are planted, God has a purpose for you. Jer 1:8, Gal 1:15, Jer. 29:11 the plan of God for your life is a good one. Paul from the womb has been separated for God’s use. Some have discovered God’s plan for their lives, some are in the process of discovering God’s plan and some having found out God’s plan for their lives are not pleased with it and are working out their own plan implying that they are better or wiser than God, they will soon discover how wrong they are; some have a wrong conception that God’s plan will not give them room to make money or enjoy themselves due to what they have heard or seen and are therefore afraid to ask or even find out; know this sure, every plan of God will lead you to a glorious end, never an end of shame. 

There are however, some, who having discovered the plan of God for their lives have started walking in it but along the way, the devil has derailed them with compromise Heb 11:25. It is in your hand to see the plan of God fulfilled in your life. Though God has a plan for you it is your choice to accept the plan after you have discovered it. Only the plan of God is sorrow free. Any other plan will not only bring you abundant sorrow, but they will ultimately destroy you. Worse still, is the fact that many never fulfill the plan of God for their lives; though they did great things in the sight of men, yet on Gods reckoning, they did nothing. We need to ask God to reveal His plan to us. The plan of God for your life is revealed in His word. Eph1:18.

MAKING NEWS BY LOVE BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

NEWS MAKERS recognize the importance of little acts of kindness. They do not allow an opportunity to show tenderness, humanness through kind gestures to pass them by. They are fully aware that the big things of life are made up of a collection of the small things of life. It is these little acts of kindness that turns them into news makers. No one forgets the one who shows him kindness in this grim, cold and hard world. If someone now goes out of his way to pay attention to a little human need, he becomes an instant celebrity.

News makers give a smile, a pat on the back, a gentle hug, a squeezing of the hand, a loving nod of approval, a lifting of hand to salute, a wave of the hand and other little acts of king gestures. If you want to be a News Maker, you must perform these little acts of kindness. Pay attention to the needs in the lives of others. Give the identification of the needs of others close attention. Matthew. 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

All little action makes news in heaven and they will be fully rewarded. Rehab’s action made news. She was rewarded by being spared (Joshua.6:25) The Shunamite woman’s hospitality made impact on Elisha. A prophetic child was released to her as a reward (2kg4:17). The woman with the alabaster box of oil registered her impact on the life of the Lord Jesus by lavishing the expensive oil on Him; she made news that is still being spread till today. She was a news maker because of her acts of love. Mark 14:9 Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

 

OCTOBER DIVINE CONNECTION SEMINAR

THERE SHALL BE PERFORMANCE BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

Believing God for what he has declared concerning you is crucial if what he has declared over your life must come to pass. God is a performer. He cannot be limited like men. However, everyman must know God enough to believe Him for whatever He has said He will do concerning them. In Luke 1:45.  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord, we see a very wonderful prelude of the virgin birth. What God declared concerning Mary had never happened before and will never happen again but Mary knew God enough to believe Him. Despite the circumstances, Mary held on to God’s faithfulness and power and she saw the performance of God’s word to her; she became the most revered woman in history. If you can believe God today for every word He has declared over your life, you will see His performance.

In Romans 4:19-21 with emphasis on vs. 21, and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform; we have an account of Abraham who did not stagger at the promise of God to him even though he had every reason to. Neither he nor his wife was physically fit to bring forth, yet because God said it, he believed God. The result was a feat that has hardly repeated itself over the ages, at least not in the same dimension. No matter how hard it looks for what God has declared to come to pass from the human perspective, God Himself has declared ‘is there anything too hard for me to do?’ It means God will not have to perspire or labour hard to fulfill His word in your life. What concerns you in 2013 will not be difficult for God to accomplish. There will be a performance of what God has said concerning you in Jesus Name.

UNLEASHING YOUR POTENTIALS PART2 BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

When a single seed is sown, it brings forth a multitude. Inside Adam was the seed that produced over six billion souls on the earth today.

 

Jn. 12:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit.

 

Isa 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

 

The potential to bring forth a multitude is in a little seed and If the seed can be sown, it will unleash its potential to bring forth. Fruitfulness is a precondition to forgetting the afflictions of the past; that was why when Jacob wanted to bless the children of Joseph he laid his right hand upon Ephraim (which means fruitful) effectively making him the first born, contrary to the expectation of Joseph who expected Jacob to lay his right hand upon Manasseh (which means, forget my toil of the past) being the first born. Jacob changed the order because until a man has become fruitful and productive, unleashing his potential, he cannot truly forget the sufferings and afflictions of the past. You will be fruitful in the land of your affliction.

 

Gen. 41:51-52 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. {Manasseh: that is, forgetting}

 And the name of the second called he Ephraim for God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. {Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}

 

God wants you to unleash your potential by becoming fruitful and productive because your fruitfulness will bring glory to His name, bring blessing to someone and give you personal fulfillment.

 

What you have already is enough to take you to the place where God wants you to be. If you can keep releasing what is on your inside, you will keep producing.

UNLEASHING YOUR POTENTIALS PART1 BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

No matter your social background you can be a success. Where you want to be is what is important and not where you are coming from. Your future is more important than your past. You can become the liberator of your generation from the shackles of failure and poverty. From your time things can change for the better.

Is. 60:15. Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal Excellency, a joy of many generations.

Is. 58:12. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: And thou shalt be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.

Begin to see yourself in the light of God’s word. His plan is that you should be the one that will raise up the foundation of many generations. You must therefore be a seed of quality so that the generations after will thank God for you.

Micah. 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

 

The hamlet, village town or city that you come from should not be a barrier to your aspirations in life.

Do not accept the various limitations placed by your geographical location to hinder you from succeeding.

The roads may not be tarred yet, the transportation system may be poor, yet if you believe God for success and work towards it, such realities will still not hinder you. Do not accept the fact that there are no modern houses and social amenities like regular power supply, regular clean water, medical facilities, access to good schools and professional training courses stop you from dreaming success. In fact, they should serve as challenges and stepping stones to prove that the God inside you is not a villager or a city God. He is simply God. Do you know that God is actually raising you up to be channels by which all these can be provided for your town and future generations?

SECRET OF RICHES THAT NEVER FAILS BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

There is a secret of riches that can never fail. It works always, it works for all men. It never deceives. As long as all curses are lifted and all avenues of wastages are blocked, it is a secret that is foolproof. Anywhere, any day it is applied, it will deliver riches. This is the secret of diligence. It is the secret of working with your own hands. It is the secret of hard work. Hard work does not kill, it is laziness that slaughters a person and keeps him in poverty. If you are diligent, you will be rich. Prov. 14:23, In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. If you work hard, you cannot suffer lack. If no one supports you and you put in more effort in your work, you will come out on top. If everyone thinks you are a failure, but you decide to concentrate on your work, you will surely disappoint them; because you will not end up a failure. Hard work is the secret of riches that never fails.Pr.12:11. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.Pr.21:5. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. The diligent shall always have plenty. Pr. 13:4,The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. It means that they always think up a way out of trouble. They solve problems. They have reserves. They never lack. Everything around the diligent is always available. They live in surplus because of commitment to a productive life. They do not have an idle moment. When you are diligent, you always have plenty.

The child of God has a superior advantage over any other worker; God promised to bless your products. He blesses the work of your hand, so you cannot be cursed. You cannot labour in vain. Deut 28:12.

YOU CAN STAND OUT BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

You can stand out of the crowd. You can be different from the others. You can rise above your peers. The rich can start to call you rich. The wise can begin to call you wise. In the group of the pure, you can be called pure. It is the will of God that you should be an example of the believer. That means you are designed to stand if you do what is required ( ITim 4:12). It will take your discovering what God has designed for you. Following the good shepherd and hearing His voice (Jn. 10:3). Each person created by God is designed to stand out and shine. There are things that He has packaged in you uniquely that will bring you into the limelight. Talents, gifts, endowments, skills and training that you have acquired-You need to get committed to discovering and utilizing them.

Open up yourself to exercising them through more training and skill acquisition. Do it with fervent commitment. All those who stand out are always committed with fervency. They give it what it takes with delight. The result is that they stand out. Are you a worker? Commitment to your job will distinguish you. Are you serving the Lord? Do it with zeal and your profiting will appear to all.  Joshua and Caleb were the only two in their generation that entered the promised land of Canaan. What made them stand out was their whole hearted commitment and followership of God. When you refuse to be wholly committed, your profiting will not appear to all. Your star will become dim by a halfhearted commitment. All those that perished in the wilderness did not wholly follow the Lord. Some part of their hearts was in idolatry, food, Egypt, immorality and doubts as to God’s faithfulness. Num 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land wherein to he went; and his seed shall possess it.

THE PRICE OF DISTINCTION BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

There is a price you have to pay for distinction. The moment you pay that price, nothing can stop you from your life of distinction. All the people that paid this price lived a life of clear cut distinction. Commitment is the price to pay for distinction. Your distinction is already available if you are connected to God. To realize it however, you must be a committed person. Commitment must be a way of life for you. Loyalty and faithfulness must be your watchword. You must not be a betrayer or a halfhearted or double hearted person. Such a person cannot enjoy a life of distinction. Distinction is for the totally and radically committed. It is for the consistent and continuous follower. You are called to be committed to God, His work, His people, His house, His property and His purpose with unwavering and undying passion. If you want distinction, you must be committed to God’s vision of saving souls through a local assembly of visioners. Get committed to a church. Get committed to work in a unit. Get committed to the Pastor in the church. Get committed to the outreaches of the church. Get Committed! You don’t need to be forced, coerced, persuaded, begged, appealed to before you serve God and follow Him. No! Not at all. It is your lack of commitment that has made you to live in obscurity and frustration instead of living in distinction. Therefore you must willingly, joyfully and excitedly get committed to God and his assignment for your life. Ruth was committed and she became distinguished.

Her name appeared on the list reserved for men only. She became a renowned woman in Israel. She became a great grandmother of the Saviour of mankind. It all began when she paid the price for distinction. It all began when she made a commitment to the God of Naomi, her mother in law.

Commitment is a price for distinction

THE GREATEST RELATIONSHIP BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

The greatest relationship anyone can ever have is relationship with God. Whenever you are rightly related to God, you have solved the problem that being alone brings. God is a spirit; hence our spiritual relationship is our greatest relationship. Do you have a vibrant relationship with God? If you do not have, you should enter into one with Him right away. No matter the number of people around you in the physical, if you do not have a healthy relationship with God, you will end up frustrated, disappointed, bitter and lonely. Jer17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart  departeth from the LORD. Adam disobeyed God and sinned, he broke the relationship between him and God. He went into hiding. God still went about the garden searching for him. He called out for him just like he is calling out for you today. Note that God is looking for men and women, youths and children that will have a relationship with Him in spirit and truth. (John 4:23-24).

LEVELS OF RELATIONSHIPS BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

There are various levels in relating with God. There is the relationship with God at the level of identifying Him as the Creator and nothing more. Some people acknowledge that God made them. This is just the beginning. God is the best person to relate with. He has all that it takes for a lasting and fulfilling relationship. He is ever true and reliable. God can be trusted. He does not break covenants. He cherishes relationship with his people. He wants to be intimate with you. He wants to have fellowship and deep communion with you. Do not run away from Gods. He longs for you. He is searching for you. When Adam was in the Garden of Eden, it was usual for God to come and have communion with Him in the cool of the day, with the consciousness that He is their Creator.

Whenever they have a need, they will refer to God who created them to come and solve the problem for them. Somehow, this is a relationship with God but it is not deep enough. You need to move to the next level. Ps 95: 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker

DIVINE VISITATION FOR DECORATION BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

Before a man can be decorated, God must visit him. I pray that in this month, you will receive an august divine visitor. Gen 21:1-8. The decoration of God upon your life will bring great celebration into your life. The aftermath of God’s visitation is always celebration. The visitation of God marks the fulfillment of what God has promised. When God comes to visit, His promises to us leaves the realm of expectation to the realm of performance, it leaves the realm of hope to the realm of tangibility. Whatever God has said, He is able to do. Whatever God has said concerning you, He will bring it to pass. He will fulfill what He has said. God initiates His own visitation Himself. He visits us to examine what is amiss in our lives and fixes it up.

DIVINE VISITATION BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

GOD used to visit Adam in the Garden of Eden. It was on one of such visits that He discovered the mess into which Adam and Eve have put themselves through disobedience to express instruction. Though Adam was full of excuses, becoming the father of all excuse givers, God nonetheless moved to cover up their shame. Right from the Garden, despite the sinfulness of man, God started decorating the life of men. He took away the fig leaves, man’s answer to his sin and shame and gave them a coat of skin from an animal whose blood was as atonement for their sin as a type for the blood which Jesus will shed to decorate the life of all men with Righteousness. Today you too can be decorated with righteousness if will simply believe. Gen 3:21.

MULTIPLYING GRACE BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

 

Multiplying grace implies there are different levels of grace. It means more grace can be upon one person than the other. As a matter of fact, no one can rise above the grace available to him. In 1Cor. 15:10, Paul accomplished greatly more than the other apostles because he enjoyed more grace than all the other apostles. It we are to do greater things, we must open up ourselves to more levels of grace. In other words, the more grace we have, the more we are able to do and consequentially, the more we are able to accomplish. At different points of our lives, we may enjoy varying levels of grace; however, no matter the level of grace you enjoy at any particular point in time, that level of grace can be multiplied.

2Pet1:2. 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. Grace is the capital asset of the Christian life. No Christian can achieve anything but by the grace of God. The grace available has a direct link with our level of the knowledge of God. In other words, as we increase in the knowledge Of God, we also increase in what we are able to accomplish for God because of increased grace: Dan 11:32 ‘they that know their God will be strong and do exploits’.  When a man is engraced, he assumes a level of uncommon divinity; he becomes a god to his pharaohs. The divine dimension makes a man more powerful, more wealthy, more healthy, more kind, more wise, more understanding and more tolerant than the natural man. Knowing God more therefore is a big advantage to any man.

James4:6, 2Pt3:18. Multiplied grace brings multiplied accomplishment. For example, a man can be engraced in a particular line of business or ministry than others and this will be evident by the greater result he gets more than others. Every stage of work has a commensurate level of grace needful for outstanding result.

GOD REWARDS DILLIGENCE BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

Only those who approach God diligently have access to rewards He has reserved. No lazy person can have access to God’s company. There is no record of God calling anyone that is lazy.

The calling of God is only for the diligent. The lazy man has no future with God. He can never be accepted. God does not call, anoint or use lazy people. His choice is the people that are diligent. If you want to stand before God, you must put on your dress of work. You must be at your assignment night and day. Heb.11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. You will stand before kings! Leaders will pursue your presence! Your supervisors and HODs will seek your company! You will stand before the king of kings! From this day forth you will enter into a higher company. A new generation of leaders is emerging from the church to the world. They are selfless. They are not slothful. They seek to add value to the life of their followers. They are taking the lead and blazing the trail. They are pace setters and light bearers. They take steps and give direction to others. They are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. They are God’s appointed leaders and commanders. They lead by an unwavering commitment to service. Dedication and humility are their watchwords. They accomplish things without attracting attention to self but what they have accomplished cannot be ignored. These are the emerging leaders that are fast becoming icons in every field of human endeavours, spiritual or secular. The Holy Spirit is moulding their character. You can join the team if you can yield your life to the discipline of the Holy Spirit.

THE SPIRIT OF A LEADER BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

 There is a spirit that takes a man to the top. It is the spirit of the head. And yet there is another spirit that brings a man down, it is the spirit of the tail. Sometimes, it is understood by some kind of dreams in the life of a victim; for example, a man that continuously sees himself in rags, or a man that is always falling off a ladder in dreams, or a man that never accomplishes a task in dreams is under the affliction of the spirit of the tail.

 A man that wants to lead must have a vision which must be scriptural. This is usually given by the Holy Spirit. A leader must therefore embrace the Holy Spirit. After the vision, the person must recognize that there are always enemies of the vision to be overcome. Lack of Passion is one enemy the leader must overcome. The leader must be passionate.  The leader must be passionate about life. Apostle Paul was passionate; he said‘’ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:

but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in

Christ Jesus. (KJV)Phil.3 V13-14. Jesus also was, he said ‘’ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” John 9:4.  He neglected his physical food to accomplish his task, but he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. John 4:32.

The leader must have zeal; he must have a drive for his assignment.  There must be an inner energy propelling him to make sacrifices and pushing him to go the extra mile. The leader must be able to mobilize others to follow. Jesus mobilized many to follow Him, both men and women, young and old. You must be a strong mobilizer with your word, life style, actions, and result, The Spirit of Jesus is still mobilizing men and women all over the world today. The leader must have the spirit of Persistence.

Persistence is an essential tool in the hand of the man who has the Spirit of a leader. Despite all opposition, the leader must stay on like a bulldog. “and he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow

troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me” Luke 18:4 - 5  (KJV).

 Persistence is waiting long enough to get a result. Everyone that got to the top faced opposition but overcame. The leader is a good manager who manages men, money, resources and everything available to him and he is never a waster. The leader is a man of wisdom. Wisdom is a necessary requirement in building anything and the leader must possess it since he is either building a structure, a system or a people Pr. 24:3. Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: (KJV). By creation and by covenant the believer is a leader. The leader needs the Anointing.

Anointing is for success in life. The anointing advertises you and announces you. The apostles were asked to tarry in Jerusalem until they have been endued with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, born of the Holy Ghost needed to be anointed before He went into the ministry. It was the anointing that caused His fame to go round about.” And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about” Luke 4:37 (KJV).

The anointing will make people to rush for your product. “And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God; he stood by the lake of Gennesaret” Luke 5:1.

The anointing will bring great and multiple connections. The anointing will bring you into unusual and uncommon favour. “Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. 19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour bearer” 1Sam 16:18, 19-21.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS:BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

Falling in love changes your outlook, behaviour and status. Falling in love brings out the best out of you. It reveals your strength and abilities.

Falling in love with God has all these benefits and more. When you are in a love relationship with God, your spiritual status changes. You are brought into unfathomable riches, because all the things that belong to God now belong to you. You begin to wield unlimited power because you in love with the Omnipotent. Falling in love with God brings the best out of you and is the only Guarantee for the fulfilment of the destiny at its highest purpose.

Is. 64:4 for since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 1Cor. 2:9 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

The Holy Spirit reveals to us what God has reserved for those who fall in love with Him. He shows that those who love God with all their heart receive salvation, healing and deliverance. The secret of solution to life’s problems is to fall in love with God. Entering into love relationship with God will dissolve whatever problems may arise in your life. God has solutions to marital, family, academic, career and whatever problems you may be going through.

GREAT GRACE FOR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE: BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

In 1 Cor 15:10, Paul said, ‘I am what I am by the grace of God… No one is greater than the grace available to him. It is grace that ushers a man to his desired level in life. When a man is graced, he can’t but perform. Anyone who is graced and yet refuses to perform has taken the grace of God in vain. Every grace manifests in great performance. Grace does not translate to laziness, but rather, it empowers to labour more than all the others so that you can achieve more than all the others. Anyone who is graced naturally works more than all others.

In Zec 12:10, we see that grace is a spirit, so also in Heb 10:29. May the heavens open upon you for the outpouring of the Spirit of Grace.

No one should ever assume he has always done and can now do it without God’s help.

Noah found grace in the sight of God and became a great performer. Noah built the ark that has never been built before, Gen 6:7-8, 7:1. Noah built an ark that rescued men. When a man finds grace, he becomes a rescuer of men from destruction. Grace is what enables a man to discover, invent, create and do things too amazing for others to contemplate. Grace makes you a landmark achiever; it brings you into new frontier and you braze new horizons. Grace brings to you what you’ve never seen or acquired before.

The grace that came upon Noah exempted him from evil. Grace will exempt you from all evils in 2013. In Gen 19:19, we saw that grace also exempted Lot and his household from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The grace of salvation exempts man from hell.

GOD WILL SCATTER YOUR ENEMIES: BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

When the enemies gather, it is never for your good. It is more often than not to achieve something nefarious, injurious and satanic. It is to bring about something destructive to your wellbeing. Your enemies always want to be formidable, so they form an alliance to foment evil and bring about sorrow and pain. They gather together to orchestrate their wicked plans; that is why God has purposed to scatter. In Ps 68:1, the bible says “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him” In Is 41 from verse 11, the bible says the whirlwind shall scatter those who hate you. From today, every gathering purposed to make you a laughing stock will be scattered.

Many times, problems arise in our lives in multiples. The enemies gather to bring them in torrents! In Joshua 10:5 about 5 kings gathered together against Joshua and his people, but God discomfited them. When the enemy attacked Job, It was with multiple afflictions, even his wife said he should curse God and die, it was that bad! But at the end of the day, God gave him the victory. You will also have victory over your enemies in Jesus Name.

GOD GIVES THE BEST: BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

ANYTIME God gives, He gives the best whenever you are asking anything from the Lord, expect the best. In your walk with God, you should expect that He will turn around your life for the best. Do not allow the devil to suggest to your heart that walking with God make you receive the worst.

Satan paints a bad picture that following God leaves you with the second best. That is not true at all, it is a lie. The real truth is that it is only in God that you can get the best. No genuine father will want the worst for his children; no genuine father will sincerely desire only the average for his children. No true parent will want his children to barely survive or just get along. God is our Father and He is a good God.

He certainly wants the best of everything for you. He does not want you to barely get along. At every stage of your life, He will give you the best. As you move to another phase of life, He will give you the best for that phase. The gift of God to humanity was His one and only Son. It was the best He had that He gave. Jn. 3:16. That is a testimony to the fact that God gives only the best. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself asked the question: “If you then being evil know how to give good gift unto your children, how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” Mt 7:11. That is why you must position yourself to receive the best from God.

OVERCOMING THE FORCES AGAINST GOD'S AGENDA FOR UR LIFE: BY BISHOP MIKE BAMIDELE

When God shows you a glorious future, there are forces that want to scatter and upturn and frustrate it. Every time the good God declares His good agenda for your life, forces arise that want to ensure it does not become a reality. These forces want you to experience evil instead of good, failure instead of success, disappointments instead of fulfillment, stagnation instead of progress and ill health instead of sound health. These forces must be dealt with if you must fulfill destiny. If God’s plan must become tangibly operative in your life, you must with all the strength you can muster terminate the operation of these forces in your life. The good news is that these forces can indeed be rendered impotent in your life. What are these forces?

1.         FORCES WITHIN: These forces are forces that reside inside of your personality. They influence your thought pattern, your habits and attitude, your obedience to instruction, your spiritual perception and even your understanding of issues. It is most crucial you deal with these forces. These forces encourage and sometimes persuade irresistibly a man or woman to take a wrong course of action. They make him to walk contrary to God’s plan.

These were the forces at work in the life of Samson; a man anointed to deliver his people from bondage, who ended up in the laps of Delilah and ultimately on his enemy’s slaughter slab. It was also these forces that rose up against Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived outside of Jesus, and endeared him to outlandish women; the kingdom his father worked so hard to keep together was therefore divided under him. Jonah also was sent to Nineveh by God but under the influence of these forces, he thought of himself more than God and instead headed out to Tarshish. He ended up in the belly of the whale! But for God’s mercy, he would have missed it forever.

There are many forces that want God’s glorious agenda for your life to fail. We have seen the forces within. There are also forces without but within. These forces are also called Household forces or Household wickedness. These forces are forces that are familiar with you. They know your history and your antecedents. They know your secrets and your ambition. Many times they live in the same house or vicinity with you. We have quite a number of good examples in the scripture. God revealed Joseph’s glorious future to him in a series of dreams. He was quite glad to share this agenda of God for his life with his brothers and parents hoping that they will be excited for him; but rather than get excited, his brothers were engulfed with envy and his father was consternated. Rather than back Joseph’s dream to make it a reality, they moved against him to make sure that the dream does not see the light of day. They made out to kill him altogether but for God, whose ordained plan for our lives cannot be scuttled if we cooperate with Him. We also saw in the case of David, the insurgence of Absalom his own son against him. Despite the uncountable uprisings of David’s external enemies against him, he never had a reason to be on the run for once but he frustrated them in the name of the Lord; but when Absalom rose up in a satanic ambition against him, he did not only abdicate his precious throne but he ran for his dear life, especially when he discovered that one of his closest allies, Ahitophel, his age long counsellor whose counsel is said to be as though God Had spoken, was by Absalom’s side.

We also have External Forces. These consist of Satan, demons, principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness. They operate in the spiritual realm and in the physical realm using men.
