Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane
Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?"
(regarding the attacks on Sept. 11). Anne Graham gave an extremely
profound and insightful response. She said "I believe God is deeply
saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling
God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to
get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He
has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?" In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our
schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school .... the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK. Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't
bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice
about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles
pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing? Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they WILL think, of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of
us. Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world
is in. God bless you as you share it with friends. No Nation or people can ever survive or succeed without Jesus Christ.

WORSHIP
WORSHIP
Worship is an art
Worship is a path
To get it accepted,
Present it undiluted.
Make your worship highlighted
Above everything in your heart that is ignited.
Don’t be like Cain whose offering was belated
Just because it was worsely presented.
But present it better than bro. Abel whose offering was elated
For it was
beautifully presented
With a heart not divided.
Worship is an art
Worship is a path
To get it accepted,

NEVER EVER BE TOOO BUSY TO PRAY
The Difference by GRACE L. NAESSENS
Problems just tumbled about me and grew heavier with each task;
Why doesn't God help me, I wondered; He answered, "You didn't ask."
I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock;
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock."
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish, I didn't have time to pray.
I had so much to accomplish, I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me and grew heavier with each task;
Why doesn't God help me, I wondered; He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me - He said, "But you didn't seek."
I wondered why God didn't show me - He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock;
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.
Ask, and it shall be given you;
Matthew 7:7-8
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
NEVER EVER BE TOOOOOO BUSY TO PRAY

HE IS FAITHFULL
HE IS FAITHFUL
In a certain health facility in Nigeria, oxygen is administered at the rate of 4,500 Naira per hour for adults and 3,000 Naira per hour for children.
Now, if an adult were to be placed on oxygen for a full day, the bill would be 108,000 Naira for a day, just oxygen. If we extend it to a month (30 days), the amount becomes 3.24 million Naira.
The next time you're tempted to declare that God has been unkind and uncaring to you, just remember this: He gives you about 3 million Naira in monthly benefits, just based on the air you breathe. Can someone remind me what the national minimum wage is at the moment?If God were to privatize the supply of oxygen to every human being on Earth, at what rate do you think the companies in charge would sell? (The Electricity Distribution Companies are already telling us they can no longer guarantee stable electricity supply unless we agree to a 45% increase in tariff). If He were to deregulate the sale of oxygen to humans, do you honestly think it would be available, even in the black market?
Don't you think the billionaires of this world will buy up everything for their generations yet unborn?
Bottom line: God is good. That you have some yet to be fulfilled needs doesn't make Him less caring or less interested in your affairs. Learn to give Him thanks for those routine "little" things He's done for you. When you actually sit to analyze them, you'll discover they really mean so much.
Almighty God, I thank you ooo what about you?

Purpose Driven Life //#cpd
Pls Read this: This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California .
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..
If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to a friend or a loved one just like I have done.\
Ephesians 02 : 10
If you are saved, it is He Who is within you, working through you !!!!!!!!!!!
He will accomplish His will, with our without you.
What will you allow Him?
How much of you will you allow Him?
You were created to serve Him.
That is the believer's purpose.
We allow Him to drive us.
A slave of a living God.
Created unto good works.
Pre ordained.
To walk in.
Know?
Yes?
?
Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.
This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.
Know?
Yes?

DISCOVERING THE PERFECT PICTURE AND SHAPE OF THE SCATTERED PIECE OF PUZZLE
A puzzle is a game or problem that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, one is required to put pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct solution of the puzzle.
Puzzles are often devised as a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logistical problems.
Solutions of puzzles often require the recognition of patterns and the creation of a particular kind of order. Sometimes not because of how complicated and diagonal the pattern can get. Puzzles are based mostly on discovery(To discover the perfect picture and shape of the scattered piece).
To arrange a puzzle, you need to:
- know the actual image of the puzzle,
- the missing part or the scattered part of the puzzle,
- and Acquire the knowledge of reshaping the puzzle
Here is where I come in.
"DISCOVERING THE PERFECT PICTURE AND SHAPE OF THE SCATTERED PIECE OF PUZZLE"
Every human being can be likened to a puzzle, the moment you come into this life, you come as a simple scattered puzzle (( A NEW BORN BABY)) as you grow, your puzzle has the tendency to get arranged or get complexly scattered. Whichever of the above that happens to you is a matter of choice...
it either you allow the creator of the puzzle arrange it or you allow an outsider(anybody, family, relatives, friends,) who knows little or absolutely nothing about the puzzle to arrange it for you.
If we human beings are like puzzles, and God created us then that means God is the creator of the puzzle. The creator of a puzzle can solve the (problems of) puzzle faster than any one else, this is mainly because he knows every interior and exterior of every puzzle he must have created except only in cases where he uses outsider(s),( family, relatives, friends,) to solve the problems by giving him inspiration and knowledge to do so. All you just need to do is allow him fix you
Some of the times, we disappoint him by giving our puzzles, our life, our heart to just anybody. when we let our puzzles fall into the wrong hands, the so called outsiders disorder our puzzles complexly, making like more difficult for us.
If u therefore desire a perfect shape from your puzzle, a perfect being of you in him, all you need to do is allow him to solve your puzzle, accept and embrace you to make him perfect because he and he alone knows how, when, why and where to do it. Therefore,
ALLOW HIM FIX YOU

In peace or conflict???.......decide..........
In peace or conflict???.......decide..........
In peace or conflict???.......decide..........In my little journey in life, I've seen and heard so many people openly thought that lifeis supposed to be equal, uniformed and balanced, some even wished so but it is just not possible.I will tell us all why.
The moment the first couple, Adam and Eve, ate the apple, their eyes were opened to good and evil,
Genesis 34-5 The serpent told the Woman, “You won’t die. God knows that the moment you eat from that tree, you’ll see what’s really going on. You’ll be just like God, knowing everything, ranging all the way from good to evil.”
Since then, we hear words like up and down, big and small, high and low, victor and vanquished, e.t.c. since then things became unequal, things will continue to be unequal and things will never be equal as long as there is heaven and hell, Jesus Christ and Satan, even the bible says it that perilous times shall come
"2nd timothy 3 1-5 Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people."
These things wont go down and the world cannot know peace until the redeemer Jesus Christ comes
When the time comes for peace to come, where will you be .............in peace or conflict........................decide..........
