THE 11TH HOUR AMEN

 O.O ABEL

Bible textRevelation 3:14, Matthew 20:1-15



During 2019/2020 cross over service I spoke extensively on YES and AMEN, these ushered us into our year of YES and AMEN. To God be the glory our life has never remain the same

 

For the month of March we treated the word “AMEN”. I went deeper on the word Amen alone than I did on YES and AMEN in Dec. 31 2019 / Jan 1st 2020.

In this month of November I will concentrate on 11th Hours Amen

And the AMEN here will majorly be the definition of Amen in Revelation 3:14  i.e. JESUS

 

Let somebody shout Alleleuyah

 

This message is a message of assurance, your hope will be renewed after this message, and imagination of impossibilities will become reality of possibilities, you will further be assured that its never over for miracles to happen, you crown it all even at this hour if only you will believe you can still pursue overtake and recover.

 

Let us pray this single prayer point for 30sec.

Oh lord my father, prove yourself in my family as the Amen in this eleventh month in Jesus name.

 

Let see the scriptural account in Matthew 20:1-15.

Here we would see what AMEN can do after we must have done what is expected of us as a child of God.

 

(1) THE FORTUNATE

(2) PROPER POSITIONING

(3) THE PRESENCE OF THE INVISIBLE

(4) ELEVENTH HOUR AMEN

(5) NOT HOW FAR OR HOW LONG BUT HOW WELL.

(6) THE CHALLENGES

(7) FEAR NOT

 

Let go on as the Lord open our inner eye to see in Jesus name.

 

(1) THE FORTUNATE: vs 1-2(“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.2 “And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.”).

 This described the fortunate one’s these are the set of people who knows their bearing their bearing  right from the beginning for example write from   January 1st ,they know where they are going .

They don’t have time for any side talk bulling, backbiting, character assassination and so on.

They command respect and also expect great achievement come Dec.31st. Wow what a privileged set of people.

 

(2) PROPER POSITIONING: VS 3 - 4. (“And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace “And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.”)

This talks about people who were idle but they discovered they were idle, also they understand the dangers and disrespect in idleness, so they positioned themselves where they will be seen.

Don’t forget what Matthew 5:15 says” Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house..

They stood at the market place, a place of activities, buying and selling, carrying, sweeping, pushing, buying groceries etc. they had their miracle earlier, perhaps in the month of March.

Many of us complain of no miracles but we never position ourselves properly, your talent may not be discovered if you are in a wrong position at the right time.   

 

(3) THE PRESENCE OF THE INVISIBLE. VS 5 (“Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.”   ) I described these set of people as the dispositioned one's, they exist but their presence were not felt. Because their presence were invisible to everyone. Helpers were searching for these people but they were nowhere to be found.

They were busy keeping malice, mocking people, fighting, so they were the family and community unwanted set of people, church program means nothing to them, prayer is a no go area for them , they don't go to the right place at the right time so they remain stagnant. May you never be stagnant in Jesus name.  to God be the glory favor spoke for them (Anu fohun fun won) Amen rescued them.

 

(4) ELEVENTH HOUR AMEN VS 9 - 10. (“And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.”)

These talked about the wonder you can call it miracle as well or God of MOUNT PERAZIM IN ACTION (a place of strange miracle). Eleventh hour is just one hour to the end of the day working hour. Verse 12(“Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.” ) says " they worked for only one hour before work finished and payment began.

The wonder or miracle here is what i called unmerited or unprecedented favor, meaning NOVEMBER will give you the favor you naturally don't deserve in Jesus name. This don't happen by your connection, knowledge, wisdom, or understanding, not even by your accuracy or diligence no!

Hear me well, for those that has been experiencing failure, disappointments, delay, long time sickness, and illegal confiscation of properties, bareness, and court case and so on. I have a good news for you at this eleventh (11th) hour i mean in this November, the God of unlimited favor will restore you in Jesus name.

 

(5) NOT HOW FAR OR HOW LONG BUT HOW WELL. (The wonders continues).

Some has been working since January, some joined in March, due to the activities of some forces you are just joining at this last minute to go. i mean this eleventh hour, I am talking about this November.

It’s never too late because Amen will do more than the following for you:

1. Your reward will be equal to the bountiful rewards been expected by those that has been working day and night since January.

2. You will look back by 31st Dec and you will say Wow i give glory to Amen for He is good to me.

3. You will have several reasons to celebrate. So shall it be in Jesus name.

 

(6) THE CHALLENGES: Vs 11 (“And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,”)

When you receive these unmerited favor called WONDERS OF ELEVENTH 11th HOUR as a result of Amen activities in your life at this hour.

It is not always an easy thing. Don't forget some people has been working since early in the morning (January),

Now in just an hour to go I mean just a month to go, you are called in, you work for only 1 hr. I mean only November and you are collecting the same reward with those that has been working since January , people that has been fasting ,praying keeping vigils, going to various mountains, taking extra shift, doing two three jobs  with such magnitude of stress before they make ends meet  and you think they won't react?

 

 

They must surely react, so expect the following

1. They will murmur.

2. They will want to attack you, or even ask if you are carrying two heads on your neck

3. They will want to fight you physically and spiritually as it’s not a joke.

                                                            

(7) FEAR NOT: the book of Isaiah 54:4 say's " Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.”

This is the promise of God for you. Don't be afraid just focus on Jesus your miracle will be permanent hallelujah.

 

Matthew 15:26 says “But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.”

 

If you fail to give your life to Christ this promise and the wonders of eleventh hour is not meant for you. Because Amen may not be present in your 11th hour so, give your life to Jesus and you will enjoy Him fully.

I prayer your life will never remain the same in Jesus name.

 Pastor O.O.Abel

Mount Perazim Prayer Ministry.

Monday  Fasting prayer points.  (26th October 2020)


Bible Text :   1 Kings  3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

Until we begin to reject some things, there may be no permanent deliverance our life.
Nothing happened in the physical world without it happening first in the spirit world.
That is why we most times see the manifestations of some dreams either good or bad.

The Joy of it all is that you have the power to reject evil dreams and demonic happenings. By saying " IT IS NOT MINE"

TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRAYER POINTS AND PRAY IT WELL.

1. Worship God for who He is. (Psalm 19: 1)

2. Thank God for what He has done and what He will still do. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

3. Request for authority to decree a word that must be established.

4. I cancel the effects of evil dreams over my life and my family in Jesus name.

5.You this particular happenings (mention it )  in my life  i have considered you well , you are not mine, for this reason I command you to stop in the name of Jesus.

6. Searching through my life I discovered ( mention what you discovered that is not good enough) but  today I declare you are not mine. In Jesus name.

7. Continuous spiritual attack is not mine,  I reject it by the power in the name of Jesus.

THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE

O.O ABEL

Bible text :Psalm 122 vs 6 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”

1 Timothy 2:1-2I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.


An adage says “a tree cannot make a forest that is just like you say no parishioner no pastor

Nigeria can never be without Nigerians as the four corner of the building cannot be called a church but the people that worship in the building.

If I should ask any of us to describe Nigeria with no doubt the comment or the description will say something like 

Nigeria is a corrupt country.

And if you ask anyone what the problem of Nigeria is? I know someone will quickly say "bad leadership”


It’s a pity that we are yet to realize that, you and I are the problems of this country called Nigeria. We never thought of what we can do for this country but rather always think of what we can get from the government.


I laugh when I hear people talking of western world like Europe and America ,so many Nigerians who has not been out of the country feels government do everything for people to enjoy free. The answer is NO

All that they enjoyed are contributed by the citizen through tax paying.


My question today is what are you  doing to make Nigeria great.

Everyone is selfish and greedy 

We rain curse on our leaders, called them bad names, we forgot


 1 Timothy 2:1-2I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2. for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.


I don’t know what you see. I see A:

Nigeria where there will be justice .

Nigeria where tax payer money will not be diverted to personal use.

Nigeria where national project funds will not be embezzled by few OGA at the top.

Nigeria where law enforcement agencies/all government official will perform their duties without having to take BRIBE.

Nigeria where electricity becomes stable.

Nigeria where positions in government places will be occupied by merit not by connection.


Nigeria where pastors will propagate the gospel rather than quest for money and fame.

Nigeria where cyber-crime will no longer be celebrated among families and communities .

Nigeria where politician will begin to think about the masses and the future of the country rather than sharing the national cake with Ghana must Go bags.


I see a new Nigeria 

God bless Nigeria

God bless your family.


I see a new Nigeria 

What do you see? 


please drop a comment as per what you can see about Nigeria

do you see greatness or something else.

better still you can drop a prayer for Nigeria in the comment section.

BIBLE STUDY : MY BROTHERS KEEPER


RECONCILIATION CENTRE BIBLE STUDY ONLINE ON 4th August, 2020. 7-8pm.


INTRODUCTION: Here God asked Cain as to the whereabouts of his brother Abel, Cain replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Gen. 4:9. Since that time there had been a direct link between those who refuse to be their brother’s keeper and the sin of murder, Eze.33:6,8,1, John. 3:14-15. May the Lord open our eyes to behold the enormity of the dangers inherent in the failure to be our brother’s keeper. 


THE LESSON OUTLINES:
1.LOVE COVERS ALL SIN” HAS A DOUBLE MEANING 
2.SOME PEOPLE ARE DIFFICULT TO LOVE: BE MERCIFUL TO THEM 


1.LOVE COVERS ALL SIN” HAS A DOUBLE MEANING 
All Christians ought to know that we are to be our brother’s keeper’s without being told. In fact, there is only one proof that you know where you are going; and that is to full of brotherly love. Because this is the evidence that you love God at all. True brotherly love is the way to excellence and the statement that love covers all sins has a double meaning :
 (I) you will forgive all offence from someone you love and
 (II) you will do all things possible to bring a loved one to Christ whose blood cleans from all sins. 

1Thess.4:9, 1 Jn. 2:9, 4:20-21, 1Pet.1:22, 4:8, 1Cor.12:31, 13:1-3,Pro.10:12, 25:21, Gal. 5:13, Phil. 1:9-11,Matt.5:42.


2.SOME PEOPLE ARE DIFFICULT TO LOVE: BE MERCIFUL TO THEM .
Some people are surely difficult to love. If you can not help them through, then help them through mercy. God regards assisting the poor as doing Him the almighty a favour. He will surely repay. He will bless the merciful one with mercy and deliverance. So that you will discover that: give and be given “is not applicable to material things only. But if you ignore the needy, you hinder your own prayers and invite a curse upon yourself. 

Eph. 4:32, PS. 19:17, Matt. 5:7, PS. 41:1, Pro. 11:17, Luke.6:38, Pro. 11:25, 22:9, 21:13, 28:27, 3:3,11Cor.6:9, Isa. 58:10.

INVITING THE RESTORER


BY PASTOR OO ABEL


Text Joel  2:25

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”



Introduction: restoration or rebuilding can never be mentioned where there is no destruction, or break down. It is so easy to destroy or pull down but to build takes time, money and efforts.
Destruction brings sorrow with unpleasant situations and conditions. Destruction is tantamount to nothing but a huge lost.
The promises of God in Joel 2:25 is easy to pronounce and claim but it’s required that we play our parts.
This leads us to a topic that says inviting the restorer. The restorer is the one that is able to restore. The only one that is able to bring things back to normal we could see how some people in the bible invited the restorer.


1.Lazarus, of Bethany and Jesus.
John 11:3 “Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.”

Here we can see that Jesus was invited to restore Lazarus from death to life .

2.Jesus and His mum :
Jesus mother invited him to restore the flow of wine at the wedding.

John 2:3 “And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.” 


 3.Jairus invited Jesus to heal her daughter.
 Matthew 9:18 “While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.”

4.Bartimaeus invited the restorer 
Luke 18:38“And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”




        The common things 
We can see that all these people invited Jesus the restorer at one point or the other and one thing is common to all of them. Let’s see again.

A .Lazarus, of Bethany and Jesus.
John 11:43 - 44
“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, lose him, and let him go.

Note: restoration of life.


B .Jesus and His mother 
Jesus mother invited him to restore the flow of wine at the wedding.
John 2:10
“And saith unto him, every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.”

Note: restoration of the flow of wine even the best.


C .Jairus invited Jesus to heal her daughter
Matthew 9:22
“But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.”

Note: restoration of health immediately 


D .Bartimaeus invited the restorer
Luke 18:43
“And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.”

 Note: restoration of sight.

In conclusion what they all have in common is that they all invited the restorer and the restorer did exactly what they requested for. 
COVID 19 has come and opportunity for restoration has opened invite him today and He will restore you . God bless you .

CHRISTIAN LIVING

RECONCILIATION CENTRE ,BIBLE STUDY ONLINE ON JULY 28 2020, 


INTRODUCTION: In every society, be it social or religious, there are invariable rules and regulation designed to guide the actions and behaviors of its members religious bodies have doctrines peculiar to the individuals, made to guide the members’ mode of life or behavioural pattern; and this identifies them with whatever religious sect they belong. 

Hypothetically; let us consider the characteristics of some of these sects. OGUN: the worshipers believes that they must not sacrifice to this god anything other than dog, roasted yam etc. any other provisions are taboo and will be rejected. 

So also are the adherents of Obatala. They also believe that god forbids them to drink palm wine and any violation of this taboo will turn their lips white; their apparel must be of white colour always, otherwise some evil will befall them. And also, they obey and keep all the rites of their religion faithfully. 

Similarly, in other religions be it Christianity, Christian Science, Buddhism, Islam etc. there are et patterns of life that must be lived in order to please whom they believe in and worship. 
Therefore we want to examine a very vital topic that says,

 ”CHRISTIAN LIVING OR LIVING A CHRIST LIKE LIFE”.
 May God bless and endow us with the grace to live a life worthy of Him as we go on with this study in Jesus name. Amen. 


THE LESSON OUTLINES:
1.WHO IS NOT A CHRISTIAN: HOW IS HE IDENTIFIED? 
2.WHO IS A CHRISTIAN? 


1.WHO IS A CHRSTIAN: HOW IS HE IDENTIFIED? 
There are two categories of Christian in the world today. There are those whose mode of life give glory to God either in secret or in the open. Their concern, always is to show forth praises of Him who has called them out of darkness into marvelous light 1Peter.2:9. But then, there is the other group, those who profess to be Christians but whose mode of life does not portray them as true Christians. They are better classified as NORMINAL  CHRISTIANS who is not a Christian at all by their characteristics.

Isa. 29:13, PS. 78:35-36, Eze.33:31-32, Matt. 7:21, Luke. 6:46, Tit.1:16, 1Jn.3:18, 2:15, 2King.17:29-33, Rom.1:28-32


2.WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?  
Some people believe that tradition can or must be embedded into the true worship of God This is wrong. Such people cling to a common sayings that “that is not too bad”. They fail to realize the fact that what is not too bad has the element of being bad in it. You cannot serve God and mammon. God has a standard and His standard cannot be compromised. 

Matt. 5:20, 1Peter.4:16, 3:3-4,4:16, Isa. 3:16-24, Jn.13:34-35, 15:14, Rom. 8:35-36.

DETERMINATIONS versus DESTINATIONS


We thank God Almighty for giving us the grace to see the last Sunday in this 7th month which is our month of Determination.

As our Father in the Lord, our General Overseer Pastor O.O Abel whom I humbled called had declared this month of July for us as our month of Determination and also having followed all the sermon from other preachers as well.
 Today, we shall be looking at a Topic I titled 

 YOUR DETERMINATION WILL ADD TO OR SUBTRACT FROM YOUR SUCCESS DESTINATION IN LIFE*

TEXT: *Read Luke 15:11-20*

11. Then He said: “A certain man had two  sons. 
12. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to  them his livelihood.  
13. And not many days  after, the younger son gathered all together,  journeyed to a far country, and there  wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 
14. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 
15. Then he went and  joined himself to a citizen of that country,  and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 
16. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17. And when he came to himself, he said, how many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare and I perish with hunger.
18. I will raise and go to my father, and will say unto him, father, I have sin against, and before thee.
19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servant.
20. And they arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck and kissed him.

*INTRODUCTION*
Life has four components, which are time, birth, death and decision. However, we influence each of these variables per event.

 Decision is something somebody had chosen or makes up his or her mind about something after considering alternatives. Also, it is the process of coming to a conclusion, or determination about something. Looking at the bible reading earlier, in Luke 15:11-20, it told us about the life of a man who had two sons, whose names are not mentioned, but the younger is regarded as the prodigal son. Prodigal is a French word that has been adopted in English language. It means being wasteful, or extravagant. The prodigal son, who was the younger of the two sons, decided to have his own share of the yet-to-die  father's wealth. Having bequeathed it to him, he went ahead to squander it. The decision he made determined and dictated what he eventually got.

This simply means that you are the architect of your decision, but you aren't the master of the consequence. You have control over your choices but have no power over the consequences. You make the choice, and the choice automatically dictates the outcome. The young man, who was very rich, ended up in penury, to the extent of trying to share meal with pigs.
Now I have a question for you listening to me right now or if you are reading this sermon.

 1. What decision are you about to make? 
 2. What decision have you made in the past already? 
 Think twice about it before you act on the next one.

 In fact, let God preside over that your decision. Allow God to show you the way, at all times. It is costly to make Him the last option. 

A lot of people had made a decision during this covid-19 pandemic era that had destroyed their life & destiny. Same on the point, a lot had made a decision that has changed their lives for the better.

Negative decisions automatically produce negative results. A good decision you make goes a long way to show how great and glorious your life would be. The decision you make today, will determine your destination tomorrow. Most times, God does not interfere with our decisions. Rather, He permits it.

 Get His perfect will instead of been permissive. Only then you are guaranteed of His backings in all your endeavours.

When you look at the story of that prodigal son critically, thank God he quickly realised that he had made a terrible decision in the past and he decided to repent and go back to his father.

Now let us pick some points from our G.O's First Sunday sermon on Determination. Let me quickly refresh our memories on some of the attributes of Determination he gave us.

TAKE YOUR STAND – Part 4

 BIBLE STUDY ONLINE ON 21st JULY, 2020.


INTRODUCTION:
In the third part of this series, we learnt that since man is a Trinity of body, soul and spirit,  he needs more than ordinary bread to survive. Therefore we should not allow our search for daily bread to obstruct our spiritual vision or goal. 

Similarly, we learnt that if we sign a contract of total submission to God like Daniel and Co did,then the lion of this world the fire of hell will not have power over us. 

Now, we continue our series exhorting you to take your stand against shame, fear of death and for Christ.May the Lord bless us as we study at His feet in Jesus name. Amen. 



THE LESSON OUTLINES:

1. GOD PROMISES YOU BLESSINGS AND SONGS OF PRAISE, NOT SHAME. 

2. IF YOU SERVE CHRIST WHOLE-HEARTEDLY, GOD WILL HONOUR YOU.


1.GOD PROMISES YOU BLESSINGS AND SONGS OF PRAISE, NOT SHAME. 
If you take your stand absolutely for Christ, you will be a blessed person and have no cause to be ashamed. It is unbelievers who will find Christ a stumbling block. It is blessings and songs of praise God promises His people not shame. If you suffer for Christ’s sake, that is an opportunity to praise God. In any case, you are not sure of eternal life beyond doubts until you are willing to loose your life for Christ’s sake. And if you abide in Him totally, you will have no cause to be ashamed before Him when He comes again.

PS.119:1-6, Rom.9:33, Joel.1:26, Isa.50:7-9, 1Pet.4:15-16, Matt.15:25, 11Tim.2:11, 1Jn.2:28, 4:15-18, Acts. 5:29-41, 


2.  IF YOU SERVE CHRIST WHOLE-HEARTEDLY, GOD WILL HONOUR YOU 
If you are completely for Christ, you should be bold because through Christ you have access to God. And if you are bold enough to visit God Himself,  why must you be afraid of any man? Also, you do not need men’s honours because if you serve Christ, whole-heartedly God Himself will honour you if your entire love is focused on Christ, the following are part of your blessings:
 (I) Deliverance 
(II) Promotion 
(III) Answered prayers 
(iv) Divine presence in day of trouble 
(v) Honour 
(Vi) Long life and 
(vii) Salvation.

A DETERMINED MIND

 BY: PST  S. CHUKWUBUIKEM


TEXTUAL: Joshua.1:6-7, 1 Corinthian . 2:1-2


First of all and for most, I give all glory and thanks to Almighty God for His grace and protection over me and my family. And I appreciate my father in the Lord, daddy G. O for the privilege giving to me. Also, I appreciate all the ministers and all the members that stay connected for today’s service. I pray God will bless everyone us through today’s service in Jesus name. Amen. I want to quickly discuss with us on the above topic that says, “A DETERMINED MIND”.


INTRODUCTION: To know what a determined mind is, we need to understand first the meaning of the word “Determination”. In a summary form, determination is the strength that carries you through the path of success in the midst of obstacles and challenges. Having understood this, then what is A Determined Mind? A Determined Mind is a person that have made up his or her mind to face, fight and overcome any obstacle and challenge on his or her path, in order to achieve his or her goal in life. In summary form, A Determined Mind is a person who is hundred percent ready to pay the required prize for his or her success in life. 


Characteristics Of a Determined 

1. Courage 
2. Self discipline 
3. Focus 
4. Risk taker
5. Commitment 
6. Goal setter
7. Hard work 


How To Become A Determined Mind 

1. Know the purpose of your existence. God created you with a purpose in mind. This purpose is your destiny. It is the destiny that produces the dream or vision that you pursue. Dream is the result of discovered destiny. Have you discovered  your destiny? If no, please do. It is the purpose of your existence, without it you can not set goals and without goals no determination. 


2. Have plans and set goals. The fact that you have a dream does not necessarily mean you have fulfilled your destiny. In order to fulfill your vision in life, you need more than a dream or vision. You need to set goals and have plans, then work through your plans to achieve your goals. Plan and goal keeps you on your toes. 


3. Aim higher and don’t settle for less. Aiming higher in life will give you the enthusiasm and strength to be committed, determined, work harder and go extra miles legitimately to achieve or fulfill your vision in life. Phil. 3:13-14.


4. Do not be afraid of failure and obstacle. Failure and obstacles are meant to help you achieve Better. They are actually instruments to make you not to destroy you. Though there are so many challenges we face in our daily lives but God has given us the grace and ability to conquer them all.  1 John. 4:4.


5. Have faith and absolute trust in God. By the virtue of the fact that you are of God, you will overcome every opposition and challenges in your life. Nothing can come between you and God because greater one is in you. It may seems at beginning that you are losing ground but don’t give up for God is on your side. He has never failed any one before and He can not start from you. Psalms. 34:5.


Benefits of a Determined Mind (PS. 30:5, 126:5-6, Isa. 40:31)

1. Victory is sure at last no matter how long it takes. 
2. Testimony follows at the end. 
3. Breakthrough and success undeniable and unstoppable. 
4. Fulfillment of vision or dream in life. 
5. Higher level attained in life. 
6. God’s purpose fulfilled. 


Conclusion: It is not over until God says is over. Determination has to do with courage, being strong and of good cheers. God spoke to Joshua several times and in all those times He kept telling him to be of a good courage and be strong (Josh.1:6-7). Be a determined mind and become an unstoppable mind!
I pray God will give us the grace to be determined to fulfill our dreams in life in Jesus name. Amen. Stay bless and stay safe!
