OVERFLOWING BLESSINGS (EPHESIANS 3:20, PSALM 23:5)

-

           God as a self-sufficient one is able to grant to His children more than what is requested from him. “God gives than our request”. 

God is described as one who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. As OMNISCIENT (ALL KNOWING) GOD, He did not only know your heart but also what you are thinking and even what you did not think or imagine.
Our heart as human is too narrow to comprehend the whole wisdom and knowledge of God i.e. you cannot know all what God is able to do in your life because He is unlimited by space and power. God blessings to His people are overflowing ones.
We only ask for what we want from God in prayers, but God will give what we need, because our wants may sometimes not be our needs, but He alone knows our needs.
BIBLICAL INSTANCES OF THE EXCEEDING WORKS OF GOD
Jacob (Israel)Gen 45:28: Jacob as an old man, was in sorrow for many days because of the sudden death of his beloved child Joseph. There was famine in land at a latter time of his life. This made him send his children to Egypt to buy food for him but they came back with unbelievable news that Joseph was still alive. He now requested one thing from God in prayer  that he would Joseph’s face alone, but God gave him three answers of not only to see Joseph’s face but also to see His wife, children, and to enjoy his wealth as prime minister in foreign land.
The Surnamite widow(2Kings 8:6)
Surnamite widow was told by prophecy to leave her house and be exile. After seven years of coming back she met all properties taken over by another person. She pleaded to recover them back but no way, and she wept bitterly. In her travail she went to the heavenly king for intervention. After this, her house, land and seven years of her farm products and rentage was commanded to be given back to her.
As you are today crying for one positive thing or the the others the Lord will surprise you. Overflowing blessings of God are coming your way just He surprised both Jacob and Surnamite widow, In Jesus name amen!!!

THE OBLIGATORY NATURE OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS

By Overseer I. A. OGUNLADE Every Christian is obliged to pay tithes and offerings. This matter has been contentious among some Christians and surprisingly some denominations have told their members that this injunction is not obligatory and out-rightly preach against it, claiming that Jesus Christ did not pay tithes and did not preach it. Nothing can be farther from the truth as we shall see from the scriptural text in this text. The truth is that Jesus recognized the payment of tithes when he rebuked the Pharisees in the Book of Matthew 23 verse 23 on their hypocritical attitude toward tithes paying , and for using their religion as a veneer of holiness to conceal unholy character. The origin of Tithing In Genesis 14 we have a first reference to tithing and this pre-dates the Mosaic Law. In Gen 11: 17-20, when Abram (later Abraham) returned from conquest of his enemies with a lot   of spoils, and he paid TITHES OF ALL to Melchizedek the priest of the Most High God. ...

YE ARE ILLUMINATIONS TO THE WORLD

“You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp (candle) and then puts it under a basket.  Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house, in the same way let your good deeds (light) shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly father.  (Mathew 5: 14-16). F rom the inception, Light was designed to make positive impact in life. It is designed as value carrier. This was established in the creation story as recorded in Genesis chapter 1 verses 1-3. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light .” (KJV) The entrance of light brings in shout of jubilation, solution, joy and good life. This explained the situation when you were...
