The Most Excellent




….O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Psalm 8:1

Today we are going to be talking about the great hand work of God. Do you know how much a person will be popular if the person has a good and quality hand work? God’s excellent name is also known because if of His Workmanship.

Look at the heaven. See majesty of God’s reflected in the planets and the stars. Look at the sea and the wonders of the animal world-amazing and wonderful creations from God’s hand that live together in awe inspiring balance and beauty. And kook at man-crowned with glory and honor, made a little lower than the angels, and given authority over all creations.”

Let us praise His Excellent name. The One who spoke the heavens into being by the word of his power, the One who keeps the stars and the planets spinning on their unseen course. Let us magnify Him, the One who gives us the mysteries of the oceans, the rugged beauty of the mountains, and the intricate marvels of plant and animal life. Let us exalt Him, the One who made us and crowed us with glory and honor.

Father At Work




And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Matthew 8:26

No one is saved from the storms of life, even we Christians. The great and transforming power of God’s grace does not guarantee that we will be free from difficulties and trials but if we believe in God, we will surely overcome them. God’s abiding presence and mighty power will hold us secured when we face any trouble with faith that “Father Is at Work”

On a certain day, Jesus went into a ship with his disciples and he said unto them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. But as they sailed Jesus fell asleep, and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
And he said unto them, where is your faith? (Luke 8:22-25). Our Father is always at word for us all we need is faith to command any difficulties. Here is “The Work of Faith” 

Although the squalls of life strike us, we are assured of our Father’s presence. He controls our lives and upholds us with His right hand. We may not dodge the storm, and the winds may blow, but the Master of winds and wave is on board. And if we trust Him, He will either calm the wave or quiet our hearts.

Determine To Succeed

There are many reasons to quit; physical, financial, or emotional setbacks can bring you down. They constitute the major reason why people quit their struggle for success. The latest research in science of achievement shows that as long as one does not give up, but presses harder, persisting in getting result, he will surely win. Perseverance is a fundamental factor in carrying out one's desire; lack of it is a fiasco.

One of the qualities of great men is their extraordinary amount of perseverance. The ability to hold on; fighting on with inflexible courage and inexhaustible patience; undismayed by failure and hoping for success; gives scope for faith until the work is consummated.

Many great ideas have been quietly buried because those who had them could not persevere. I want you to know that winners aren't necessary braver than others; they are just braver for a longer period of time. An impatient individual gives up whenever all his efforts seem to yield no fruit, but a persistent person will definitely end up in success.

Winners never quit and quitters never win. You should realize that the way to success is upward on the hilltop and therefore, climbing should be difficult and tasking. It is also natural that impediments or set-backs may be encountered in the course of this journey. However, they should not be seen as an obstacle to success but the requisite for success; not a flaw but a hallmark; not a deal weight on effort but fuel which feeds that effort and aids to achieve its purpose.

Strive, assiduously, with great determination. Summon up all your resolution and courage. In all circumstances never give up and keep climbing. Even when the go, seems difficult to attain, you must not give up. Never loss hope, though you may be tempted to, but keep it alive. You can make it if only you can convinced yourself and be determined.

He who is ready to fight with the spirit must wear the cap of the spirit. In this case, the cap you need is 'courage’ Never say never, take your courage in both hands.

Do not relent, always strive for success. Nothing good comes easy; it is a question of time. After all, Rome was not built in a day. No one shall be rewarded with a crow who has not fought courageously.

Real achievement is dependent upon sustained effort which in turn is the outcome of an unconquerable will to win. It does not require famous deeds but only unrelaxed effort; not giant strength but unshakable confidence; not genius but steady discipline. Every task marked with the same golden tenacity.

if you aspire to acquire the desire you admire and you fire and it back-fires, don't retire to aspire but re-fire to acquire the desire you admire.

Do not be despair and keep moving. Let me give you the peat admonition, as quoted by Prof. F.C. Ezeonu, "If you cannot fly, run; if you cannot run, walk; if you cannot walk, crawl. By all means keep moving." Do not relent even when you think that you have exhausted all your effort, try harder. It is important to note that, "Most people never realize how close they are to the door of success, when they give up for lack of determination."

Remember, the end justifies the means. People are evaluated by what they finish. Learn to be result oriented; results are everything. You have started the journey, finish what you started. If others before you would make it, why not you? Of course, you can. It may be difficult, but it's not as difficult as you think.

Address Him As "Our Father"



And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father (KJV)
Luke 11:2

There is a way we address or talk to our parent, there is also a way we address our friends, and even our colleagues. We all know that there is a total difference in the way we address our parent, friend and colleagues. Defiantly the way we will address our God should be different too. There is a great need to pray to God, and He Have invites us to address Him as “Our Father”

When we become conscious of God’s greatness and glory in prayer, it will take us on new power and fervency. Job had complained bitterly about his misfortune and had made some self-righteous statements, finally met the Lord and cried out, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6). Isaiah saw a vision of God and exclaimed, “Woe is me, for I am undone! (Isaiah 6:5). Ezekiel observed the glory of the Lord and declared, “So when I saw it, I fell on my face” (Ezek.1:28). The apostle John, after seeing a vision of the glorified Son of God, said, “I fell at His feet as dead” (Rev. 1:17)

To all these men, the vision of God’s greatness and glory brought an overwhelming sense of their weakness and depravity. Yet God invites us to address Him as “Our Father”

Our Conformer Have Been Sent




And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (KJV)
John 14:16

Jesus said he will send the Comforter to abide with us forever. First of all, let us ask ourselves as Christ followers. The Comforter that Jesus promised us, has it been sent? Who is the Comforter? Which work is this Comforter doing in the life of us Christian? And what is the purpose? These are the things we are going to consider together today.

The comforter that our Lord Jesus Christ is talking about is the “Holy Spirit” and it is been sent to us. Pentecost fulfilled that promise (Act. 2:1-4). And ever since that historic day, the Holy Spirit has been faithfully carrying on His ministry in the lives of all believers.


The Holy Spirit comforting activities in the life of we believers include: assuring us we are God’s children (Rom. 8:16), guiding us into truth (Jn. 16:13), helping us pray (Rom. 8:26), transforming us into Christ image (2 Cor. 3:18) and strengthening us (Eph. 3:16). And so on. Now are response is to learn all we can about Christ and by the Spirit put into action. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is always to glorify Christ, but never call attention to Himself.

We thank you Father, for giving us your Holy Spirit which is our Comforter. Help us not to grieve or quench Him. We face this day with confidence because of His blessed ministry in our lives.
