O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home   Oh Father Lord my God,  we are Grateful for all you have done for us till date. I thank You for  the gift of your son Jesus Christ who died for our sins on the Cross of Calvary, I thank you for the Holy spirit and also giving us the fruit and gifts of the Spirit,  I thank you for the blood of Jesus that washes away our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. . . we ask that your infinite mercy abide with us now  and forevermore. Brethren we are blessed to be here today  . . .  I pray that now that 2008 has finally ended , 2009 will be a blessed and better year for us in Jesus Mighty Amen.    As I was Praying last night and I asked the Lord what He wanted from me and His People this coming year of 2009  and this was the reply I got after a  brief silence  . . . My People...

By David J. Stewart,  " The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only , and my servant shall be healed... When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel" (Matthew 8:8,10). The Bible tells us of a Roman centurion (a centurion was in authority over 100 soldiers) who had a sickly servant. The centurion humbly came to Jesus and asked for the Lord to heal his friend. Jesus said he would come heal the sick servant. Then the centurion said something to Jesus that impressed Him greatly. Whatever it was that the centurion said, Jesus told the crowd that He'd not found so great a faith in all of Israel. This is quite remarkable. Now when Jesus says that He hasn't found so great faith in all of Israel, we ought to sit at the edge of our chair and pay close attention to what the centurion said. What was i...

A Desperate Man There was a man who had everything you could want, everything but happiness and hope. He had a good business and more money than he could count, houses all over the world, and owned an island in the South Pacific Ocean. He had a loving wife and four children, two boys and two girls. He was constantly putting on parties and all sorts of affairs trying to find what his younger brother already had. You see his younger brother had been ask to become a partner in the company several years earlier but turn it down because he was already a partner in something bigger. The younger brother did not own a fancy house instead he and his wife rented a small three-bedroom house in the country where they were raising their three children, one son and two daughters. The younger brother was happy with his life; he had everything he needed. You see the younger brother had found Jesus Christ and was living life the way God wanted him to. The older brother could not understand how his youn...

What will it cost us Christians to give our lives completely to God? This is a question I ask myself daily. Surrendering 99% of one's life is not and  will not be enough for  God Almighty but, He wants 100%, all of you and me . God gave  us His  all, remember he sent His "only" begotten Son Jesus Christ to Die for you and me . . . this is the simple gospel,  Christians should be preaching. I'm not preaching here, all am saying is that, with the recent happenings in and around the World, No one is sure of tomorrow . . . only by His Grace are we living and breathing. I ask for you to give the whole of your Life to God. His hand is Mighty and safe and He will not turn away those who seek Him early. A well paying Job with executive positions will not make you any special, Hollywood will not save you from death, fame and fortune will not make you live an extra day without God's intervention, doctors and best clinics cannot save your life . . .  if not for...

This is very great news to me and the body of Christ, it is good to know that  just after my  recent post on  Divorce in the Christendom, God led me to this News article some minutes ago  Read and be blessed Couples Vow Recommitment To Marriage By Aaron Leichman Christian Post Reporter Wed, July. 09 2008 02:27 PM EDT In an era where rising divorce rates and marital infidelity are rapidly becoming societal norms, hundreds of couples met together last month to buck the secular trends of the world with a renewed commitment to God and the sanctity of biblical marriage. Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME), which is active in over 90 countries and exists to give couples a “weekend experience” to recommit their marriages through “techniques of loving communication” centered on God, held its 40th anniversary convention on June 27-29 at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, Calif. "This is a way for us to reinforce the permanence of our marriage vows and the sanctity ...

The whole News Media and Christians alike  terrified with this news at least I speak for myself . I thought pastors/bishops were role models? and people who should show the "lost" the way to the Cross, how disappointed I am  about this news. I ask myself couldn't they have forgiven and forgotten? or was their bruised ego too much to bear; making it difficult for them to humble themselves before God and reconcile to the Glory of God?. (sometimes I wonder if it was as a result of the beating taking place at a public place that made it worse for her to forgive, maybe if it was at home nobody would know and she might still be in the Marriage) who knows!? I ask again isn't there any tiniest way the Holy Spirit must have dropped it in their hearts for them to make peace for the sake of the flock they are overseeing? Well I know that some of us are too familiar with God so we can  do whatever we like Proverb 14:12  There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the en...

Friends, I am greatly humbled by this recent development in my blogging life, yesterday I was invited to join Timothy Todds   Blog Chapel of Ease as a guest Author . God knows this is one of the last things I expected receiving or being asked to do  as a blogger for Christ , The funny and mysterious part is that I didn't even know about the blog, not to mention visiting it for one day. So I was so pleasantly surprised when I received the Email from TRT . The blog is  great blog especially when different people get to share the word of God in Oneness . I truly believe that this is  a signal of great things to Come in the body of Christ , even as we work together by the Spirit for one goal. I have already published a post there, I reckoned that there is no point in wasting much  time, when you are called to do something for God you must get to it with all that is in you... that is what I believe and live by. I Ask you my friend to visit the blog Chape...

This is actually an excerpt of a message from my pastor, D.K Olukoya who is a  fiery man of God. (God bless him)  When this topic was brought to me, last year, I was like, pain!? everybody knows pain or something about pain,  But when I read it, it dawned on me that God Almighty provided this topic at a point in my life when I needed to hear this. . . and to be reassured that I wasn't alone and that God is with me all the time. So I have brought these few points out from the whole message for you my friend and I Pray that God  will help you today to understand what His purpose for your life is today  in Jesus Mighty Name Amen What is pain? Pain is a feeling of being hurt, a feeling of suffering. It is an unpleasant discomfort experienced by some body who is wounded or ill. It is a feeling of discomfort. finally, pain is an oppressor and the bible says oppression maketh a wise man mad. Ecc 7:7 when somebody who is normal begins to experience oppression, he wil...

    Anger : Anger is a strong feeling of grievance and displeasure. Anger is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage. Someone once said that anger is a a condition which the tongue is faster than the mind. Anger is  evil, a Christian should stay away from anger by all means, anger can incur the wrath of God, Anger can make you miss your blessings take a critical look at this passage in the Bible   Gen 49:5-7, 5 “Simeon and Levi are two of a kind—men of violence. 6  O my soul, stay away from them.May I never be a party to their wicked plans.For in their anger they murdered men,and they crippled oxen just for sport. 7  Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;cursed be their wrath, for it is cruel.Therefore, I will scatter their descendants throughout the nation of Israel. NLT Anger is a natural Negative emotion (Very Bad) Anger can make one respond to issues in a violent way Anger makes you hurt others either verbally o...

My Walk With Christ Following Christ has been a reality for me, my goal is to make heaven and to make sure that others around me do so too through the Grace of Christ Jesus my Lord.  this passage I live by, without it I don't know what would have become of my faith in Christ today. Isaiah 49: 8-11,8  Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 9  That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. 10  They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. 11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my h...

By the Special Grace of God, I  hereby submit a short version of my testimony, agree or not it is true, cannot write every thing Down but I must say that Life has taught me things only God knows. . . am not in the habit of talking much about myself and so if there any thing you might want to know about me, Read and feel free to ask me any questions you wish. Godbless.  I would also like you to Read this post A  Brief  History About This Blog before you continue ... that is if you haven't already. Thanks. Ecclesiastes 1:9-11, 9 History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. 10 What can you point to that is new? How do you know it didn’t already exist long ago? 11 We don’t remember what happened in those former times. And in future generations, no one will remember what we are doing now. Revelations 12:11, 11 And they have defeated him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of their testimony. Introduction My...

This is so hard for me to do first of all I am a little bit confused as to what I should or should not write down, cos am not a writer who knows how to play with words. I have been vacillating for a quite some time now... I keep asking this question " Good Lord, do I have to tell the world my story"? what's to tell? who cares to listen to what I have to say? I know for sure that when God sends you on an assignment, you don't have to look at it from the human/self perspective. "God knows my story is not sweet to tell , left alone to me I wouldn't say anything" BUT I know that whatever God wants me to do that I have no choice but to obey. even if it is for only the person that God wants to touch by it... I shall be most humbled and I pray that it Happens in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. Maybe few of you know this but will say it anyway's,  this month of April is the 1st Anniversary of this blog Channelofhealing it is been one G reat Holy Experience for ...

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool To weep is to risk appearing sentimental To reach out for another is to risk involvement To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss To love is to risk not being loved in return To live is to risk dying To hope is to risk despair To try is to risk failure But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. --Leo Bascaglia

Beloved brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus here is what I thought is a Great outlook on love/marriage. Enjoy! This is kind of long, but it makes some interesting points. By Rabbi Dov Heller, M.A . With the divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a serious mistake in deciding who to spend the rest of their life with. To avoid becoming a "statistic," try to internalize 10 insights. 1. You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married . The classic mistake. Never marry potential. The golden rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it, "You actually can expect people to change after their married...for the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure you can live with these as they are now. 2. You pick the wrong pers...

A LITTLE GIRLS PRAYERS One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but inspite of all we could do she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator) and no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates. "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugsto...

It has really been a very tough 3 months for me but the Lord was with me, so I cannot complain. Am Grateful to God for everything He did and is doing in my life... oftentimes We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain.... Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God's always ready, to answer your call.... He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear... Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light... The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love... God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. Godbless Channelofhealing

  A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.  So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. This is one of t...

Brethren, have you ever been hurt by those you love the most? have you been abandoned by your friends in times of need? have you felt like holding on to something that wasn't there to begin with? "like I always say maybe it was all in my head". I say Give it all to Jesus Christ for He will turn your sorrows into Joy...  just saying this made me remember a song, sang by  Christy Lane that I love so much. I would love for you to read the post below By T D Jake's and be blessed by it... I for one really needed to hear this too... especially now. There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said ...

Glory to God!!! February is here again and soon everyone will be all about Valentines this and Valentine that, so many people will get engaged on that day or better still get married on that day. . . Well am not against people celebrating or whatever, even I have picked out things I want my husband to buy for me, LOL. The fact still remains that many rush into things without looking, hence the high divorce rates, and spousal abuse etc (especially in the Christendom) it is scary that even the world have to give advice to Christians now. Perhaps you are already married , about to wed, or in a very serious relationship, I recommend you read this along side with your Bible. My junior sister's friend sent me this through email last year Godbless you as read SUCCESS IN LOVE RELATIONSHIPS Success in love relationships is not a matter of luck. The state of your love relationship today is a product of your choice till date. Choices are made based on the information at our disposal per ...
