#GratitudeChallenge – God of the Ages Past.
Everything we have, God gave us.

Hmmmmm! Life can funny atimes because it is UNSCRIPTED. Anything can happened but we always pray that something good will happen.

Going back the memory lane of my life, I can vividly said God has been taking care of me in all spheres of humanity.

My parents are not rich but God provides for them to make life easy for my siblings and I.

No moment of hunger except I am fasting.

No period of clothelessness. Not that we have much then but the ones provided by God’s providence was wearable.

No harassment from landlords. No time of homelessness because God took over our needs.

What I am aiming at? I mean Yahweh in ages past, deserves all the praises, adorations, blessing, power for taking care for me.

Almighty Jesus made it easy for me. I was never abandoned nor forsaken. He took care of me when I don’t even know.

Hallelujah to the King of glory.

I love you, Lord!

#GratitudeChallenge – Seven Titles of Jesus†
Jesus came with many names and titles and each name and title is a recognizer of who He is and what He came for.

Also, the numerous titles of Jesus shows that He indeed is the One worthy of my most highest praise because My King lived up to what He was called.

Furthermore, seven of those names are highlighted below for Gratitude purpose:

1. Wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24).

Lord Jesus, thank you that true wisdom is found in a relationship with you. You are more precious than rubies and nothing I desire can compare with knowing you.

2. Bridegroom (Isaiah 62:5, Luke 5:34),

Lord, thank you that you call me to an intimate relationship with you and rejoice over me as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

3. Son of Man (Luke 6:5).

Lord, thank you that you are the representative Son of Man who suffered for me.

4. Lord (Luke 6:2).

Thank you, Lord, that you are the key that unlocks our understanding of the Old Testament.

5. Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

Thank you, Lord, that there is ‘one God and one mediator between God and human beings, Jesus Christ, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all.”

6. Rock (Hebrews 9:14–15a).

Lord, my rock, thank you that you satisfy my spiritual thirst. May I, through the Holy Spirit within me, bring the water of life to others.

7. Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14).

Thank you, Lord, my Great High Priest who lives for ever, that you are able to save me completely. Thank you that you rose from the dead and live to intercede for me. Thank you that you are interceding for me right now.

Today’s task for you: What other title of Jesus did you know?

- 🌟 DAY 20 – Life in Him Redefines Greatness (MATTHEW 20)
  From the surrender of Day 19, today Jesus teaches us what true greatness looks like. He tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard, reminding us that God’s generosity is not based on human ranking. At the end, He declares: “So the last will be first, and the first last.” Matthew 20:16 Life in… Read more: 🌟 DAY 20 – Life in Him Redefines Greatness (MATTHEW 20)
- 🌟 DAY 19 – Life in Him Requires Surrender of the Heart (MATTHEW 19)
  Matthew 19 flows naturally from Matthew 18 because relationships continue this time touching marriage, children, and riches. Jesus teaches that God’s intention for marriage is covenant, not convenience. He blesses children and rebukes anyone who pushes them away. Then the rich young ruler approaches with sincerity but not surrender. Jesus says: “If you want to… Read more: 🌟 DAY 19 – Life in Him Requires Surrender of the Heart (MATTHEW 19)

  Yesterday we saw the glory of Christ. Today, Matthew 18 brings us down the mountain into the everyday reality of relationships. Jesus begins with humility, placing a child before His disciples: “Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4 Life in Him is practical. It is relational.… Read more: DAY 18 – Life in Him Shapes How We Treat Others (MATTHEW 18)

  From the revelation of Christ in Matthew 16, today in Matthew 17, God elevates our vision even higher; the Transfiguration.

  Yesterday, Matthew 15 reminded us that God looks at the heart, not tradition. Today, Matthew 16 moves us deeper into the necessity of revelation.

But nevertheless, I have this say; Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior because Nigeria will overcome.

#GratitudeChallenge – Psalms of Praise (2).
Our mouths were filled with laughter then, and our tongues with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

The Lord had done great things for us; we were joyful.

May the Lord bless you from Zion, so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life

The Lord is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.

Then none who pass by will say, “May the Lord’s blessing be on you. We bless you in the name of the Lord.”

Now bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who stand in the Lord’s house at night!

May the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.

Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord. Give praise, you servants of the Lord.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
His faithful love endures forever.

He alone does great wonders. His faithful love endures forever.

He made the heavens skillfully. His faithful love endures forever.

He spread the land on the waters.
His faithful love endures forever.

He made the great lights: His faithful love endures forever.

the sun to rule by day, His faithful love endures forever.

the moon and stars to rule by night. His faithful love endures forever.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for it is delightful.

For I know that the Lord is great;
our Lord is greater than all gods.

All scripture quotes are from
(Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Psalm 126:2, 3, 128:5, 129:4, 129:8, 134:1-3, 135:1, 3, 5, 136:1-9.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Welcome to day 27 of our #GratitudeChallenge for Lent period.

Like always, thanks you for the likes, visits, subs and follows and most of all thanks you praising God with me for this past 27 days and the onwards supports.

Now for today, let’s reflect on this hymn lyrics to praise the Lord, shall we?

The hymn is O for a thousand tongues by Charles Wesley.

Thank you Jesus for everything You have done because with a ten thousand tongues, we couldn’t even appreciate You enough for the smallest thing.

O for a thousand tongues to sing,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
The glories of my God and King,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Thank you Almighty for the gift of your Name. Name that defeated death, sin and Satan. What a beautiful name is it! Nothing compares to it!

2. Jesus, the name that calms my fears,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

What more could unworthy sinner like me say that to praise Your Holy Name for concealing my debt even when I think I have what to pay.

3. He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
His blood can make the foulest clean,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

I shall never forget that day that Jesus, my sins was paid and my debt was cleared! ♥️♥️

4. I never shall forget that day,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

So I say

Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

#GratitudeChallenge – The Church is on the Move
There is a popular song in my local church that goes thus:
```
The Church is marching on,
The Church is marching on,
The gate of hell cannot prevail,
The Church is marching on.
```
Tell me who wouldn’t be happy to belong to God’s family on earth; a family that it universal, holy and one?

Who wouldn’t be joyous that he or she is a perpetual member of the oldest organisation in the world. The Church* is more that 1500 years old.

Why do I praise the owner of His Church for counting me worthy of being part of this indestructible family and serving therein?

Why won’t I appreciate that I belong to the only family that will last the eternity because everything earthly will go but Church of Christ will be forever will Jesus. Hallelujah!

So therefore, my Father, my God, thank You for Your blood- bought Church.

Thank You for sustaining Your Church.

Thank You for our leadership across denomination and nomenclatures.

Hallelujah be unto His precious name for making us one in Him and adding to the Church daily those who are being saved.

Thank You for the promise of the Church indestructibility because we are pretty sure that You can’t promised and not fulfilled.

Glory for being the head of the Church! And for loving Her passionately!

You are worthy of all the praises from all the people who called on Your mighty name from all nations, tongues and tribes!

Hallelujah to the Most High!

Today’s task for you: What is the name of your denomination? Mine in the comment section.

P.S: Whenever you see me starting the word ‘church’ with capital letter C, I mean the Whole body of Christ in all countries, nation, tribes and tongues and that Body is one, universal and holy but if it small letter C, I mean our various denomination.

#GratitudeChallenge – For His Glory and Honour (2).
Do we Christians realised that our Father knows what we need before we even open our mouths to ask Him?

Yes, He knows, He answers and ever grant me what I didn’t get to even ask Him. My brain is limited, His wisdom is limitless.

For His glory and honour, He granted many prayer points.

For some that I asked, He said that I should wait, He will do it but not now.

For some prayers, My Almight father says No and told me to forget about it because like He told Paul, He also told me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you.’

And for many more things that I don’t know and I don’t ask Him to do, He did. Why? Because He knows that doing it for me will bring glory and honour to His majestic Name.

Therefore, I am praising my heavenly Father for this.

I am praising Him for not forgetting that I am His masterpiece and He supplies all what His power and Awesomeness knows that will enrich my life physically and spiritually.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Almight. I love you Lord with this song of praise:
```
O se Oluwa,
O se Oluwa,
Anu Re simi o po,
O se Oluwa.
```

#GratitudeChallenge – The Rain is Everywhere.
Welcome to another edition of #GratitudeChallenge.

Today, I am thanking God that I am not the only one experiencing the rain of ‘wins, wins and more wins,’ my friends and family are experiencing it in various forms and degrees.

There is a Yoruba proverb that says one rich man in the midst of six poor relatives is a poor man himself but thank God that is not the case with ours.

Many of us are happily married now.

Gainfully employed.

Rightly connected

Increasing numerically purposefully.

And careerly succeeding.

Not one of us but all of us.

Hallelujah be unto His mightiest name. Amen.

4. Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.
5. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
6. You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.
7. Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.
8. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.
9. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
10. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
11. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.
12. When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.
13. Rejoice always,pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
14. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
15. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
16. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
17. to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
I hope you read with me solemnly?

#GratitudeChallenge – An Unforgiving Servant like me.
Hillsong in one of their songs sang thus, ‘my sin was great, but Your love was greater…‘ which makes me to remember the Parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35.

We all know the story of how one servant failed to forgive his fellow servant of a meagre hundred denarii compared to the forgiveness of ten thousand talents received from their master to him.

Now, let see the generosity of this unforgiving servant’ master; for this man to repay his Master, the total debts he owned, he will have to work every day of his life for 200,000 years translating to 60,000,000 working days, i.e., he was owning what he can never repay.

Factsheet:
Unforgiving Servant Vs Fellow Servant.
What they owned:
Ten thousand talents Vs One hundred denarii.
Amount in US$:
3.48billion Vs 11,733
Amount of time to repay:
200,000 years Vs 4 months.
Coutersy: internet.

Despite that, he was totally relieved of his debt. How much more has God been forgiving me of my iniquities?

I couldn’t repay the debt of my sin even if I work for a ten trillion years but look at the magmonity, generosity and love of Christ to me on the Cross of Calvary.

I didn’t deserve it because someway or the other, I used to behave like the unforgiving servant but His love and heart atoned for my sin.

He is such a large-hearted forgiver. Hallelujah be unto His precious name. Amen

His love was far greater than my sin, what can seperate me from His love and grace.

Today’s closing song goes thus:
```
He redeem my soul,
O san gbese mi
O ra mi dapa
O gba mi lowo iku
O dari Ese mi jin mi.

Interpretation
He redeemed my soul,
He paid my debt,
He redeemed my soul,
He saved me from death,
And forgive me of my sin.
```
