    #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.

  • Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

    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

    #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.

    Today’s task for you: Do you know that God loves you?

    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.

    Many of us are happily married now.

    Gainfully employed.

    Rightly connected

    Increasing numerically purposefully.

    #GratitudeChallenge – A Psalm of Praise.

    It’s day 23 already in this ongoing #GratitudeChallenge.

    Thank for the visits, shares, downloads, follows and the comments.

    Today, we are reading a Psalm titled A Psalm of Praise. Let read:

    1. I will give great praise and thanks to the LORD with my mouth; And in the midst of many I will praise Him.
    2. With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.
    3. Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
    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?

    Today’s task for you: what is your favorite Psalm?

    All Bible quotations are from New International Bible (NIV): Psalms 109:30, 18:39, 109:30, 18:17, 97:12, 21:13, 118:24, 138:1‭-‬3, Isaiah 25:1, Philippians 4:4, 139:13‭-‬14, Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21, 1 Thessalonians 5:16‭-‬18.

  • #GratitudeChallenge – An Unforgiving Servant like me.

    #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.

    Conclusively, let’s sing the national anthem;

    Arise, O Compatriots

    To serve our fatherland
    With love and strength and faith
    The labour of our heroes past,
    shall never be in vain

    One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity


    Oh God of creation,
    Direct our noble cause
    Guide our leaders right
    Help our youth the truth to know
    In love and honesty to grow
    And living just and true
    Great lofty heights attain
    To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign

    Today’s task for you: (1) How many state of the federation have you been to? (For Nigerians). (2) Have you been to Nigeria? If yes, which state? (non-Nigerians).

    #GratitudeChallenge – God, the Omniknownest.

    Let’s praise the Lord for day 19 of our #GratitudeChallenge because He knows all things – the past, the present and the future, the explainable and the unexplainable.

    Why He created me a black man in Africa in one of the best African countries called Nigeria – the giant of the Continent. While you are created in that skin color, is wholly to God’s idea which you may not be able to explain.

    While you are created a female and I a male may not be fully understood by us now.

    The reason that incidents happened, the explanation may blow your mind.

    There are many things, phenomena, happenings in this present world, that our human reasons, logics and intellects can’t fathom because as long as we are here we will be knowing in parts and seeing in parts but one day, you and I will understand everything.

    You will understand why the accident happens.

    You will understand why your business fails.

    You will understand why your Christian boyfriend dies.

    You will understand why that lady abandoned you in the relationship without prior notice.

    You will understand why your spouse died or even divorce you even though you fought for the union on your legs.

    When we get home, you may be chanced to ask God why did he introduced Job to Satan for testing cos actually you protect you asset.

    Meanwhile, while we are still in this earthen vessel let’s thank Him for that He knows all things and does all things perfect and good.

    Lord, thank you that although there is so much that I do not understand in this world, I can trust in your wonderful love. Help me today, and every day, to continue to wonder at your great love for me.

    #GratitudeChallenge – How I was able to keep myself.

    It seems our world is a sex world. We are so craze about it to the extent we made it look like without sex, a human being can’t survive.

    Had it been, what the world promotes is conjugal sex – sex between a biological male and biological female in the exclusive confine of marriage, it would have been better but what they promote is illicit sex, casual sex and perversions.

    They have commonalised and commercialized it.

    We are bombarded with sexual scenes on our streets, TVs, smartphones, billboards, books, etc. Even church is not spared.

    Jehovah Aronilagbara – the Strenghter and Jehovah Olopo ore ofe – the plentiful Grace enabler

    But among all these temptations, I asked God to help me keep myself sexually till my wedding night and He marvellously helped me.

    If not for God, the power failed. Not once and not even thrice but I was prevented from failing and tarnishing the image of Christ in me.

    I called him, Jehovah Aronilagbara – the Strenghter and Jehovah Olopo ore ofe – the plentiful Grace enabler

    Thank you for helping me and my wife to do Your will and that we will continue to do Your will throughout our lives in Jesus name. Amen.

    If God helped my wife and I, He can helped you too and if we can do it, you too can do it.
