I woke up this morning, January 2 2010, after getting my children ready for school, very unlike me, I took my devotional books and bible, and instead of reading, said a short prayer and settled down to sleep..i strongly believe this was not a dream i had but more of a REVELATION, which i believe should not be taken lightly, i can not give the full detail of the dream/Revelation here for some reasons but the bottomline was bloodshed on the streets and I woke up visibly shaken as if it was real!
As a Nigerian and one that knows that Nigeria's destiny is being manipulated for backwardness and evil, there is a need for us all to stand up and truly pray for this country as i know as a Missionary what Nigeria is to the World on a spiritual level, but if the country divides, this may not be possible.So we must remain united as Nigerians, so as to become what God has destined our great Nation and its citizens to be.
This note is written as an urgent appeal to everyone that loves our great country Nigeria.There is an urgent need to PRAY and INTERCEED for the country. We must as a matter of urgency pray against ethnic , religious and political killings, we must pray for the Youths of this country to have the fear of God and not be used by the agents of evil to unleash terror on innocent people.
A lot of powers are fighting to control the destiny of this Nation and its citizenry but we must pray that the God of heaven and earth must be enthroned in this Nation of ours and that He will intervene and rule in the affairs of this country. What is happening in Nigeria now is child's play compared to what i saw..so please lets take at least one hour every day to pray seriously for this Country, lets groan in the spirit and pray with tongues, we must persist in praying until the change we want in this country comes. The lives of Nigerians are hinged on our praying at this time and so we must pray until something happens...Only God can deliver Nigeria and He will only do so,if we pray and persist in our prayers. God bless Nigeria and God bless Nigerians.
Prayer points- Lets ask God to forgive us our sins as a people for righteous exalts a Nation but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14-34).
Lets pray for righteousness to be enthroned in the lives of Christians in Nigeria, that they will truly know God and be filled with the spirit of God to be true change agents with their conducts.
Lets pray that the word of God will grow in Nigeria and that people will accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
(This will make a world of difference as i know its only in Christianity that we preach true love no matter what..Thou shall not Kill is one of the Ten commandments! Lets know that as people embrace Christ, and truly serve Him, the change from within them will influence their actions and impact the society for good).
Lets pray that we will be the right influence on others, as we live the life of Christ, people around us will be influenced for good in Jesus name amen.
Note - Our confidence must not be in the Political system but on God and as we trust God to intervene, He will make Nigeria beautiful again.
I will end this post with this note i saw online:Righteousness exalts a nation
(Thomas Brooks, "The Crown and Glory of Christianity,
or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness", 1662)
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a
disgrace to any people." Proverbs 14:34
It is not valor in war—but righteousness;
it is not policy in government—but righteousness;
it is not wittiness of invention—but righteousness;
it is not civility in behavior—but righteousness;
it is not antiquity of laws—but righteousness;
it is not largeness of dominion—but righteousness;
it is not greatness of command—but righteousness
—which is the honor and the safety, the renown
and the security of a nation.
It is not rich mines of gold and silver, nor armies,
nor councils, nor fleets, nor forts—but justice and
righteousness which exalts a nation; and which will
make a lowly people to become a great, a glorious,
and a famous people in the world. That nation which
exalts righteousness—that nation shall be certainly
exalted by righteousness.

VICTORY OVER PROTESTING POWERS AND VOICES
This is a message that was preached by one of my mentors - Apostle Wole Oladiyun and he gave permission to other pastors to preach this message to liberate their congregations…so here is Pastor Wole and my own version of the message! Lol. May God give us understanding as we read and may He help us to have complete victory over all protesting powers and voices in Jesus name amen.
In order to have an understanding of this message, we need to know the definition of a key word “ Protest”
To protest means to object to, be in opposition, speak strongly against.
Many of us are victims against powers we do not know. Voices that want to make us stay in a stagnant position, powers that want us to live a life below what God has destined for us, but know that despite these powers and voices, as Christians, nothing can stop our glorious destinies as All POWER BELONG TO GOD!
WHY DO THESE POWERS AND VOICES PROTEST?
a. They protest because you are a destiny helper
b. They protest when they know you have something new to offer to be a blessing
c. They protest when it’s your season to manifest
d. They protest when they know that positive and good reports are on the way
e. They protest when they know you are a pillar to someone they do not like.
Below are nine cases in the bible of protesting powers and voices against people's destinies:
1. Herod vs. Jesus Christ - Matthew 2- 1- 13 (You can read the whole chapter of Matthew 2). Herod sought to kill the baby Jesus. He knew Jesus had come to save mankind but he wanted to protest this glorious destiny by killing him as a baby so he will not fulfill his assignment of saving mankind.
Prayer point - May every protesting power and voice standing in the order of Herod, waiting to destroy you from manifesting your glorious destiny be destroyed in Jesus name. Matthew 2- 19
2. Cain vs. Abel - Genesis 4 - 3- 8.
Cain and Abel were siblings from same parents and yet Cain, the elder brother killed Abel because God accepted Abel's offering and sacrifice. The breakthrough in Abel was protested by Cain and he killed him.
Prayer Point - May None of our siblings and relatives be used to kill our manifestations and breakthroughs in Jesus name amen.
3. Haman vs. the Jews - Esther 3- 5-6
Haman decided to kill every Jew because one man- Mordecai refuse to bow to him.
Prayer point - May you never bow to iniquity in Jesus name amen. May God silence all protesting power in the order of Haman in Jesus name amen. Esther Chapter 6 and 7
4. Pharaoh vs. The Children of Israel - Exodus 5- 1-2-end and Exodus 14- 23-31
Pharaoh tried to prevent the children of Israel from serving the Lord and being free men, but at the end, He died with all the Egyptians that pursued the Israelites.
Prayer Point - May every power pursuing you and wanting to make you a permanent slave be destroyed according to the order of Pharaoh and the Egyptians in the sea.
5. Blind Bartimaeus vs The People - Mark 10 - 46 - 52
Blind Bartimaeus had a physical challenge and he heard that Jesus was passing by, as he cried out to Jesus Christ for help, “many” warned him to be quiet! But thank God ,he cried out the more despite the protesting power and voices and he got his sight back as our loving Jesus spoke to his challenge! Hallelujah!
Prayer Point - Pray that the voice of the people will not stop you from seeking out God to meet your need.
6. Nehemiah vs Sanballat and Tobias - Nehemiah Chapter 2 , especially verse 10 and Chapter 4
Nehemiah had a burden to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, but as he went about doing this, Sanballat and Tobias became opposing power and voices. Thank God for Nehemiah's patience and focus.
Prayer Point - Ask God to keep you focused and undistracted, and above all to protect you from the Sanballat and Tobias around you in Jesus name amen.
7. Golaliath vs. David 1 Samuel 17
Goliath terrorized and opposed the Israelites but David came on the scene and stood against him…In verses 41 - 45, David confronted Goliath and in the name of the Lord despite his threats and insults, he prevailed! Hallelujah.
Prayer point – Pray that God will help you prevail over every Goliath in your life in Jesus name amen.
8 The man born blind vs. his neighbors and the Pharisees - John 9
The man was born blind but his condition was so, that the works of God should be revealed in him. He got his healing through Jesus and his neighbors and the Pharisees contested his healing/miracle and breakthrough but despite all, the man maintained his testimony in verse 25 of John chapter 9. Hallelujah.
Prayer point - Ask that no matter who is opposing, your testimony shall be sure in Jesus name amen.
9. Paul vs. the Jews. Acts 23 - 21
In Jerusalem, some of the Jews sought to kill Paul and in verse 12 of Acts Chapter 23, some of them went on an evil fast to kill him..But thank God for silencing the opposing voices and powers, so that His work would continue through Paul.
Prayer point - Pray that God will reveal the plans of every protesting power and voice and grant you great deliverance as He did for Paul.
I have other cases of protesting voices and powers in the bible i.e. Joseph and his brothers - Genesis 37, the old and young Prophet in 1 Kings 13...
I pray that God will help us this season to stand in His word and withstand all protesting powers and voices in Jesus name amen. May God arise on our behalf over every Protesting voices and powers in Jesus name. May we not be our own protesting power and voice like Jonah in Jesus name amen.
Note - That protesting powers and voices have pulled down rising stars, destroyed many marriages, businesses, many people have been rendered useless to themselves and families, and many have been brought down from the mountain of achievements , rescheduling them to useless assignments. May God deliver us all from protesting powers within and without .
Action – If you are not saved, then it’s time to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior and let Him fight your battle as in Exodus 14 - 14.
Kindly repeat these words- Lord Jesus, I welcome you into my life as my Lord and Personal Savior. I acknowledge that you shed your blood on the cross of Calvary for me, I ask that your blood will wash me from all sins and make me your child in Jesus name amen. Congratulations! You are now a child of God
Jesus is Lord, so all protesting powers and voices will submit to God ( Psalm 66 - 3 ). Hopefully , there will be a Part 2 of this message .

BENEFITS OF SEX - A MUST READ FOR MARRIED COUPLES
Enjoy this candid and life-saving/marriage saving contribution from a dear friend and big sister of mine in response to the message on a must read on sex for all praying wife on face book.
Bridge, the write up was so powerful that I copied and forwarded it to all the married couples on my personal email box. Most marriages today are suffering because they are sexually starved. Some couples are so sexually starved to the extent that they don't even know that it is starvation. They are wondering why they are stressed, aggressive and what not. Please there are so many pros to sex that some of us are aware of and some of us aren't. When I heard about it helping you to lose weight I did not believe it until one day, I weighed myself before and after - guess what, I lost 1 LB. I yelled out to my husband. So imagine doing it 5 x or 7 x a week...go figure!
Below are benefits of Sex!

Women that complain of headache etc little do they know that the so-called sex is the cure!
I remember reading a magazine some years back and couples were interviewd on how often they are intimate. This lady said, she made sure they at least have it every- day if not at least 5x because LIFE IS TOO SHORT! She wants to enjoy her husband because anything can happen anytime!. I was like.."light bulb??? Nothing will happen to our husbands in Jesus name. But yeah, life is too short! You only get to live this life once. Why not go all the miles...
Let me introduce you guys to the 'CALENDAR'..I have been doing the calendar thing now 6 to 7 years now. I mark every time we are intimate. So at the end of every month my husband and I go over it and if it was a good count thumbs up and if not work better next month and at the end of the year we calculate how many times it came up to and compare with the previous year! Oh yes. Care to know how it came about? My husband was always complaining then ( I guess he was sexually starved ha ha) that we did not do it when I think we did and there was no way to prove until we were in the company of some friends and this issue came up and a friend just brought it up like " haven't you heard of the calendar? I was like let me in. She said, whenever you do it mark it down! And if he is complaining that he never got anything, show him the calendar...Wow that brought so much relief. from something bad to something beautiful! I have hearts marked down all over the calendar if it was a fantastic one, you see 2 or 3 hearts with codes like VS(very sensual) or it could be VVS (very very sensual) or VVVSP (very very very sensual & passionate) or see arrows all over the place and sometimes just one heart or a 'Q'.
We are all here to learn from each other. The word of God says"iron sharpeneth iron".
NOTE - I just had to share this here as i was so blessed by it..may God help us as wives to do the needful and may God help our husbands too. I await comments from you my esteemed readers.

PULL HIM DOWN PARTNER FROM OPEN HEAVENS BY E.A ADEBOYE
Bible in One Year:
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
(Is 43 - Is 45)
Memorise: "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands" (Prov 14:1)
Read: Ecclesiastes 9:7-10
7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
In Malachi 2:14, God said that He is a witness in the dealings between husbands and their wives. In other words, marriage is so important to God that He personally observes what each partner does, either to build or to destroy the home. "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands" (Prov 14:1). God's original purpose for a woman in the life of her husband is to be a suitable helper. There are two broad categories of partners: They are the Pull Him Down (PHD) partners and the Build Him Up (BHU) partners. Every married couple falls into one of these. A PHD wife is one who takes away something good in her husband, reduces his worth or contributes in any way to dethrone him from where God has placed him. One area many wives have pulled down their husbands is by denying them sexual satisfaction. Some temptations are as a result of sexual starvation while others are as a result of lust.
When a man looks outside because of denial of sexual intimacy, that is sexual starvation. But if after being satisfied by the spouse, the fellow still goes out to sleep with another person, that is pure lust. It is a foolish pastor's wife that will starve her husband sexually. In the make up of the human body, the woman was designed to exercise greater restraint in sexual pull than the man. However, it is pure wickedness for a woman to use such strength to the disadvantage of the man. Quite a number of husbands are sexually starved. From their lustful look at some women, you can tell they are starved. To some sisters, love-making once in one or two weeks is enough. It is not enough! Remember, one major reason for love- making is for oneness. Even after child birth, you have to continue your trip to oneness until your last breath. For the first 35 years of marriage, it is suggested that couples meet at least 3 or 4 times per week. It could be more but should not be less. As the marriage grows older, adjust according to your needs and stamina. Whatever grace you will require to satisfy your spouse, ask the Lord for it and He will give you and bless your union. Sexually starved partners become depressed, resentful, revengeful, uncooperative, bad leaders. They are prone to sins such as masturbation, fornication and adultery, rape, divorce, loose morals, and lust. If you are exposing your partner to such risks, you are a PHD partner.
ACTION POINT:
The Christian wife or minister's wife who is nonchalant towards her husband's sexual needs, believing he cannot be unfaithful, is foolishly daring. To avoid disappointment, meet his needs from today.

In the make up of the human body, the woman was designed to exercise greater restraint in sexual pull than the man. However, it is pure wickedness for a woman to use such strength to the disadvantage of the man. Quite a number of husbands are sexually starved. From their lustful look at some women, you can tell they are starved. To some sisters, love-making once in one or two weeks is enough. It is not enough! Remember, one major reason for love- making is for oneness. Even after child birth, you have to continue your trip to oneness until your last breath. For the first 35 years of marriage, it is suggested that couples meet at least 3 or 4 times per week. It could be more but should not be less. As the marriage grows older, adjust according to your needs and stamina. Whatever grace you will require to satisfy your spouse, ask the Lord for it and He will give you and bless your union. Sexually starved partners become depressed, resentful, revengeful, uncooperative, bad leaders. They are prone to sins such as masturbation, fornication and adultery, rape, divorce, loose morals, and lust. If you are exposing your partner to such risks, you are a PHD partner.
ACTION POINT:
The Christian wife or minister's wife who is nonchalant towards her husband's sexual needs, believing he cannot be unfaithful, is foolishly daring. To avoid disappointment, meet his needs from today.

A MUST READ ON SEX FOR MARRIED COUPLES
This was sent to me from a group i belong to on facebook called The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, its from a daily devotional book written by the General overseer of the church, Pastor E.A Adeboye, this devotional book has been a blessing to millions including my humble self. Seeing this , i felt like shouting Hallelujah, as i have had some cases recently on this issue and my candid opinion is that as wives, we must perform our wifely duties no matter how "inconveniencing"..May God give us wisdom to do what is right and may He help us to rekindle the romance in our marriages, so that things can flow naturally..wink!wink! wink!lol, i await comments on this.
ANY ROOM FOR STRANGERS?
Memorise: "For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness" (1 Thess 4:7)
Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
"Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law" (Rom 13:8).
We are commanded to owe no man. That means a genuine believer will not be happy to owe God or his fellow man. One area many people are owing today is in the area of intimacy in marriage. It is a sin to refuse your spouse when the fellow demands intimacy. Some sisters have turned their bodies into commodities for sale. When their husbands grant their requests, they will willingly yield to calls for intimacy. But if they failed to perform - whether as a result of not having the means or deliberately, the woman will say in her mind, 'I know where I will get you'. Whenever he asks to be intimate, she will shun him. That is a gross abuse of God's blessing! Why did you marry? Some are always complaining of being tired, having headaches, having had a rough day, back pain, etc. If you are fond of making excuses to keep your body to yourself, remember you lost the right to do so the day you said 'I do' to your spouse. Refusing him or her under whatever guise amounts to violating your marriage vows. You are a debtor!
Do you know there are some men, even ministers who give baseless excuses such as "I am afraid of having another baby", "I am not just interested", "Is lovemaking all there is to marriage ?" and have denied their wives of intimacy for up to 3, 6, 12 months or more? At this stage, it has gone beyond just fraud to a height of wickedness. Are you starving your spouse sexually? If you frustrate him or her to the point of committing adultery, God will hold you responsible. Both of you will go to hell together and remain eternal enemies. Most women will not want to hear that their husbands have another woman outside, yet they refuse to satisfy them. If a man is satisfied with food, no matter how alluring the food he is offered outside, there will be no room in his stomach. Unfortunately, because a good number of men are sexually starved, there is room for strange women to fill. If your husband is keeping late nights, or going out with other women, before you blame him, first find out if you are not the cause. Are you satisfying your spouse as the Lord would want you to? If you do what you should, there would be no room for strangers.
ACTION POINT:
Sexual satisfaction of your spouse is a strong weapon against strange men or women.

2010, YOUR YEAR OF UNSTOPPABLE BLESSINGS
I am so excited to welcome us all into this year of purpose and possibilities. I see God doing mighty things with us all, as He will confirm His words with signs and wonders this year.
I told a couple of friends at the beginning of the month of December 2009, that i was done with fasting or waiting on the Lord by abstaining from food as i had done so much that sometimes i starve instead of fast!lol.
So i went through a greater part of December 2009 eating..lol, (i love food, i wish i had the type of system that can take much food without it showing as fat on my body!lol,) anyways, i was eating until i got led to do a three days fast with my extended family which i did and yes it was a great experience. So going forward in this new year, for me, except i am led, i will not engage in any fast..lol.The outcome of my fast will be unleashed here as we progress into the year, but know that for this year to be as remarkable as has been prophesied for us all, we must:
1. Be "EGO" driven - Exalt God Only and not Edge Him Out - It must be all about God this year..Kindly read 1 Corinthians 1- 18-31, and read it in the Message translation alongside any other translation to better appreciate and understand why it should be all about God this year 2010.
2.We must be positive Influence as we are all leaders and leadership is defined as influence! So we are either leading ourselves, our families, workers , or people God has placed around us to look up to us..We must lead them right..Jeremiah 1 - 4, will tell us more about all of us being leaders even before we were born.
3. The company we keep must be right, this year is not the year for keeping ungodly relationships..Amos 3- 3, says two cannot walk together except they are in agreement, so if there is no agreement in your talk and walk, please cut the person/people off. Mind you..As married couples..Divorce is not permitted..Read Mark 10, so when i talk of cutting off people, your spouse is not someone to be cut off..God will grant us wisdom in Jesus name amen.This is a year to be in the company i call;Daniel's Company!
Note : In the book of Daniel, Daniel had three friends that were saved a couple of times because of Him, His association with those his friends was beneficial to both parties, so this year we must discern in our spirit and choose the right association that will lead us in the path of purpose. May God help us all.
Do you know- That those who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits .Daniel 11-32b
Prayer Point - Pray to truly love God and take His words as your reality this year 2010.
Ask God that He should bless you as He blessed Daniel and his friends in Daniel 1 - 17.
God bless us all and happy celebrations to all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries etc , this month of January.
