Vibrant Economy

 


We cry to God because He alone can heal our land. The term "land" encompasses various aspects of our lives, including individual, ministry, and economy. While economy can refer to multiple things, our focus here is on financial sustainability.


Jesus taught His disciples about the kingdom of God through parables, with one-third of them related to money and resources (Matthew 13:34, 18, 22, etc.). Money is crucial for every believer, serving as a tool for good or evil. As believers, we use it for God's glory (2 Chronicles 7:12-14, Ecclesiastes 10:5).


God is aware of everything, including our financial struggles. He can provide for His people, but the timing of His answers is in His hands. We must engage mercy and stay alert in prayer.


Policy-making is essential in governance. What is your personal financial policy? What policies has the government implemented to ensure prosperity? Have you made decisions to manage resources sustainably?


Nigeria, despite being rich in natural resources, struggles with poverty. However, God is good and will guide us to the promised land.


We will pray for all arms of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Faithfulness in economic policy is vital.


A vibrant economy is characterized by:


1. Savings and investments

2. Foreign direct investment

3. Human capital development


Bill Graham once said, "Give me five minutes to review someone's checkbook, bank statements, or budget, and I'll tell you where their heart is."


Let's pray for Nigeria's economy to flourish.


*Prayer Points:*


- Wisdom for leaders (Genesis 41)

- Sustainable economic growth

- Faithfulness in financial management

- Human capital development

- Divine guidance for Nigeria's leaders


May God heal our land and bless Nigeria.

Great Turn Around

Image
*Philippians 3:1-10; 2 Corinthians 4:16* As we delve into the scriptures, we find a remarkable example of a great turnaround experience in the life of Apostle Paul. His transformation from a zealous persecutor of Christians to a passionate follower of Jesus Christ is a testament to the power of faith. In Philippians 3:9, Apostle Paul emphasizes the key factor in experiencing a great turnaround: Faith. It is not merely knowing the doctrine about God but having an experiential knowledge of Him. To effect a great turnaround, we must: 1. Know the Lord experimentally (Philippians 3:9) 2. Experience the power of resurrection (Romans 4:25, 1 Corinthians 15:17) 3. Participate in the fellowship of His suffering (Colossians 1:24, 2 Timothy 2:11) 4. Be conformed to His death (Romans 8:29, Galatians 2:20) 5. Attain to His resurrection (Philippians 3:20-21) Paul's journey serves as a case study for us. As we go through these stages, we too can experience a great turnaround in our lives. *Prayer...

CONNECTING TO THE LIFTER OF HEADS

Image
In Psalm 3:1-3 and 1 Samuel 2:7, we're reminded that God is the lifter of heads. He has a history of elevating individuals from humble beginnings to positions of power and influence. Let's look at a few examples: - Joseph became the prime minister - Abraham became the father of nations - Aaron became a priest - Esther became a queen - David, a shepherd boy, became a king - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego became relevant Only God can lift someone from the dungeon to a place of prominence. Divine lifting means receiving favor from both God and men (Proverbs 3:4). It's about moving from debt to prosperity (2 Samuel) and from the tail to the head (Deuteronomy 28:14). When we seek the kingdom of God, we're automatically connected to the lifter of heads, and He will lift us up (1 Samuel 2:7). So, what do we receive when we connect to the lifter of heads? - Turnaround for favor - Fantastic elevation - Victory, even when undeserved - Mockers changed to promoters - Surprising bl...

The Power of Choice: A Deciding Tool in Destiny

Image
The power of choice is a fundamental gift from God, woven into the fabric of human existence. From the beginning, God granted humanity the freedom to choose, as seen in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:16-17). This ability to choose is what distinguishes humans from other creatures, allowing us to reflect God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Biblically, our choices carry profound consequences. Deuteronomy 30:19 emphasizes this when God sets before Israel “life and death, blessings and curses,” urging them to choose life. This highlights that while God offers guidance, the decision rests with us. Proverbs 3:5-6 further teaches the importance of trusting in God’s wisdom rather than leaning on our understanding when making choices. The New Testament continues this theme. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus speaks of two paths—one leading to life, the other to destruction—illustrating the eternal significance of our decisions. Galatians 6:7-8 warns that we reap what we sow, emphasizing that ou...
