Joshua Evangelistic and Deliverance Ministry

One injustice a man will melt upon himself is to give ears to the opinion and conclusion of men in his life affairs. This is one reason why men is plunged into depressed state as well as degenerated spirit whenever they measure up their physical predicament, the possibility of a testimony, with the opinion of men.

And the word of the Lord came to me and I have no choice than to share it with you all.
Acts 21 vs 14 :- So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, THE WILL OF THE LORD BE DONE.
And the Lord says:- It is not yet over. Watch for I will do a new thing and it starts with YOU.

Today is 08-08-2020. The Lord says it's not yet over. You're in His plan for 2020.

Adding today's date to the month (8+8) gives you 16 and when you subtract the number (16) from the year (20); you are left with number (4) and as we all know that four (4) is a number of creation.

The number 4 derives its meaning from creation. On the fourth day of what is called 'creation week' God completed the material universe. On this day he brought into existence our sun, the moon, and all the stars (Genesis 1:14 - 19).

Their purpose was not only to give off light, but also to divide the day from the night on earth, thus becoming a basic demarcation of time.

I repeat, It is not yet over. I see a new creation and a new beginning.

They were also made to be a type of signal that would mark off the days, years and seasons.

Four will also mark of the days, years and seasons of celebration in your life and family. Only if you are ready.

Interestingly, the Hebrew word for 'seasons' in Genesis 1:14 which literally translated is "appointed times" (divine appointments) in reference to God's festivals. This is the earliest known allusion to what would later be called the Holy (or Feast) days (periods) of worship, which are seven in number.

It is your season of divine appointment. Though you did not merit it but Heaven will speak for you because it is your season.

The 4th of the Ten Commandments is to remember and keep God's holy Sabbath day (Exodus 20:9 - 11). The Sabbath day is tied directly to the creation week. God himself made the period between Friday sunset and Saturday sunset extra special when he rested on it after bringing everything into existence the previous six days (Genesis 2:1 - 3, Exodus 20:11).

Are you ready to walk with the Immorality that dwelleth with men? Be holy for He is holy.

Psalm 107 is the only section or chapter in God's word that contains the exact same phrase four times (Psalm 107:8, 15, 21 and 31). Read it.

The apostle Paul was a man familiar with 4 major first century cultures. He was a Roman citizen, he was a Jew who spoke Greek as well as Hebrew, and he was a Christian.
Be a man of valour and improve on every side and aspect of life.

The Garden of Eden had a river which parted into the headwaters of four other rivers. These rivers were the Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and the Euphrates (Genesis 2:10 - 14).
Have multiple streams of income now. Learn form COVID19 and beyond COVID19.

After Jesus was nailed and hung on a cross, Roman soldiers divided up his clothes into four parts (one for each soldier - John 19:23).
As you make it, set apart for others and use your set apart resources to encourage those who are struggling. There is a reward for such gesture.

The four witnesses of God on earth are miracles, wonders, signs and the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 2:4). and they will follow you if you do the needful.

The number of times rainbows are referenced in scripture are four (Genesis 9, Ezekiel 1:28, Revelation 4:3, 10:1).
Men will not stop talking about you. Just keep your head up and aim the top. That's where you belong.

In Ezekiel's well-known 'wheel in the middle of a wheel' vision (Ezekiel 1, 10) he sees four living creatures transporting a throne with four sides and four wheels. Each of the living creatures (likely Cherubim, a class of angels) has four faces (the face of a man, lion, ox and eagle) and four wings.
You will soar like four winged creature.

There are 4 gospel accounts of Jesus' life and ministry. Each of these emphasizes a unique aspect of his sacrifice and ministry.
Your sacrifice and ministry will not end with this generation or even the Fourth generation. Ages will speak well of your name and legacies.

Also four (4) is in this context YOU and the TRINITY (father, son and holy spirit). Everything now is between you and the Trinity. Men's report and conclusion amounts to nothing.
So shift your attention away from the world, men, COVID19, unfulfilled dreams, missed opportunities, disappointment, failure, sickness, setbacks, hatred from men, betrayal from loved ones and back stabbing from people you least expected it from. It will end with August (8) for the Lord will make end to the imagination and divinations. It will end in praise. Just hang on.
Focus your gaze on the Trinity, the supreme being, the immortality and the ageless God. The God of time and season. You can still shout for joy before we enter 2021.
Those things you're thinking that it will no longer take place in your life, family and ministry will definitive take place. Your life,family, business, job, career, dreams, talent and aspiration will take a positive turnaround only if you are ready to walk with the three (3). The Trinity. And the Trinity will walk with you to make it four (4). The number of creation and new beginning.
The Lord says the way out is easy and simple only if you will abide by His principle. The word of the Lord says that if the way of a man pleases the Lord, He will even make your enemy to be at peace with you.
Men and brethren, there are four (4) Sundays before we step into the last four (4) months of this year and from what the Lord laid in my heart. There are four (4) things God want you to do, four (4) things to avoid and four (4) steps to follow starting tomorrow morning. As He had promised you four (4) things you will enjoy as you hit a divine turnaround that will end in praise.

If you don't step forward, you'd always be in the same spot in your life. If you want it, go for it; take a risk; don't always play it safe or you'll suffer. The elevator to success is out of order, you'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time. Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do; because if you want something you never had, you have to do something you've never done! Don't give up!

Four things to do. Commit it into the Lord's hand every Sunday morning and take a step on Monday morning till we enter September for remembrance.

1. Take a stock of the past. Not necessarily counting on the failure of yesterday but learning from them for better planing.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

2. Plan and set an attainable goals :- plan what to do so as to get a better result this time around. No matter how little it may look like, work with it. Break them down into daily, weekly and monthly activities and as you stick to plan. Heaven will go before you, with you and behind you to direct and lead you. God will uphold your plans to the amazement of those that despise and doubt you. The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well.

3. Make a commitment to the Lord. Heaven will shake tables because of you but not for you alone. You blessings and breakthrough now is also for men to see light through you. In you, others will fulfill their dreams. This covenant is between you (1) and the Trinity (3) which equals to four (4). A new beginning and a new name. Promise God that you will train, help, advice, guide and provide for ad many as that are still struggling to stand. Nothing is too little for Heaven not to reward.

"Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is within your power to act." Proverbs 3:27

- Each one of us has the power to make a difference and be a blessing.

- Our actions may seem insignificant, but they can be a source of hope to others.

- In this strange time in history COVID19, look for opportunities to be a blessing.

-Do not just think about it, but act now, because the Lord wants to use you.

Be a source of hope and strength to those around you. May your seed, as small as it feels, bring a great harvest.

4. Workout your dream. It is your dream and you know how big or little it looks like, so work it out.

Though men may try to discourage you or cajole yo but it is your dream. Stick to it and make it a reality. This is between you (1) and the Trinity (3) so people's opinions does not count if you trust the One that gave you the DREAM.

Remember Acts 21 vs 14:- so when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying the will of the Lord be done.
David believed his dream when he faced Goliath with stones and slings instead of javelin and spear.

Even if your dream is to start selling sachet water. Work it out within the next seven days. Commit it in the Lord's hand and take a step. As you start, you may not finish one bag of sachet water on your first day but remember it's number four (4), you and the Trinity and as long as they are with you in that boat, waves and storms will not stop you. You belong at the top so soar like four winged creature.
The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.

As you follow this Divine instructions. Watch it and avoid these four things.

1. Fear of failure

2. Avoid discouragement from men.

3. Take care of your life and stay safe.

4. Have a savings for tomorrow for better establishment or reinvestment.
Proper planing will save you from 24/7 fasting and prayer on issues that does not need fasting and prayer. If you are wise, learn from COVID19. I pray that you receive grace to excel this time around in Jesus name. Amen.

Steps to take.

Each of the four (4) Sundays remaining in August should be a day of stock taking and a day of proper planning for the journey next week and ahead. And as you obey, Heaven will reward you according to the promises of God who said he will never leave nor forsake you.

The four (4) promises of this message are:-

1. You will make it.

2. You shall live to eat the fruit of your labour.

3. Accident and untimely death is not your portion as you go about your businesses.

4. Heaven will rewrite the name of your family through you as you follow God's precepts.

Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

You are blessed beyond measure in Jesus Name.
Shalom.
Charles Ezeonugo.

When you obey Him. He walks and talks with you. In the beginning I don't want to go but the prompting was irresistible. Now I know why Spending nights and days in unpleasant environment is not a waste.
Today is 08-08-2020. The Lord says it's not yet over. You're in His plan for 2020.

Adding today's date to the month (8+8) gives you 16 and when you subtract the number (16) from the year (20); you are left with number (4) and as we all know that four (4) is a number of creation and new beginning.

Shalom.

The just shall live by faith

WE STILL ROCKS AS THE LORD LIVETH

Life is a cycle! It starts and winds down to the same spot. C.S Lewis said: "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending!" ANYTHING WITH TENOR IS VANITY!!!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY,
WE ARE BACK.

COUNTDOWN CONTINUES.

Day 17.

DON'T MURMUR.

Psalms 121vs1-2.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

PUSH MY BELOVED. (pray until something happens).

They may take away everything from you but if they haven't taken your ability to pray, then they have done nothing, because you shall rise again!

They took away Samson's eyes, they took away his hair and strength but they forgot to also take away his ability to pray, when he cried out to God his power was restored.

Jonah in the belly of the fish also cried out to God and the Lord restored his ministry.

Peninah laughed at the bareness of Hanah until she prayed!!!!

Prayer changes things no wonder David says I look up to the mountains, from where does my help come from, it comes from God the maker of heaven and earth.

I encourage you today to engage God in prayer...You shall rise again, you shall also testify, your vision will also speak, you shall also be celebrated... if there is a woman/man to pray, there is a God to answer!!!

Dear God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your loving kindness, & for everything, May Your grace, Your endless Love, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit abide with us now and forevermore as we continue to wait upon you in prayer all the days of our life in Jesus Name. Amen.

SHALOM.

DAY 16

REALITIES OF LIFE.
Psalms 1vs1-6

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

SO BE YOURSELF BECAUSE:-

1. No matter what you say and how you say it, SOME people will never get it. That's not your fault!

2. No matter how pure your motives are, SOMEBODY will still accuse you of ill intentions. Stay pure anyway.

3. No matter how humble you are, somebody will still consider you proud. Stay humble, anyway.

4. No matter how generous you are, somebody will still call you "selfish". Remain generous, anyway.

5. Some of your greatest pains will come from those you gave the most pleasure.

6. Some of your greatest disappointments will come from those you gave your best appointments.

7. Some of the worst things you'd hear about yourself may come from those you speak the best of.

8. Not everyone in your ship is paddling in the direction of your dream destination. Discernment is key.

9. Loving people sometimes means feeling used by them.

10. If you fall for the temptation to take an eye for an eye, you'd be blinded to the bounties God has in store.

11. Sometimes, doing the right thing ends up making you look like a fool.

12. Tough as it seems, any evil done against you can become a seed for your promotion. It depends on your response.

13. I'd rather appear foolish now and see the wisdom of God unfold than appear wise now and turn out a fool later.

14. Promotion doesn't come by fighting for your rights but by being faithful in doing what is right.

15. Those who will enjoy true promotion must be willing to forgive freely, forgive quickly and forgive wholly.

16. Those who will relish true promotion must be willing to serve many for free!

17. Read with caution: Sometimes, to see what God can do, you have to be willing to stop what you can do.

18. Without God's sign off, your biggest step can turn out to be your biggest mistake.

19. Pain has a higher potential to toughen you up than pleasure does.

20. Problems are easier to solve than people.

21. Many people will celebrate you only as long as your advancement doesn't exceed their expectations of you.

22. Some people get close enough to you just to find something bad about you to broadcast to the world.

23. Some people are quiet when you're succeeding but quick to point out your failures.

24. Some people are in your life for a reason. Some people in your life would prefer to see you in prison.

25. Love your enemies. Pray for them that despitefully use you. That hasn't changed.

26. Hating those who hate you makes them your leaders, since you're following their footsteps.

27. Rather than react to the situation. Respond to your revelation.

28. When people show you who they REALLY are, show them who God is- Good! Always do them good.

29. We don't do to people what they've done to us. We do to them what God's done to us. We love them.

30. Believe the best even when you're going through the worst.

31. Keeping a grudge is like keeping garbage you can't use, yet it's taking up space and no one is paying you rent.

32. Malice is a demonstration of your faith in the pain caused you in the past. It keeps you stuck.

33. Rather than perpetuate pain. Promote peace, stir up joy and spread love.

34. They hurt you? Don't hold it against them. Hold them up in prayer.

35. Some people may think this post is targeted at them. No. Everyone alive will need one of the points at some point.

36. Forgiving people is not just a good idea. It's a GOD idea. Actually, more than an idea. It's an instruction.

37. How you respond to a situation can be more important than the situation.

38. Your ability to overlook an offense determines the degree of dominion you'd exercise over many other things.

39. Wisdom will help you solve problems. A large heart will help you accommodate people. You need both.

40. When all is said and done, let the love of God in your heart pour through your daily walk.

FEAR IS A CANKERWORM

LUKE 19:11-27:-

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me
Our text narrates the story of the noble man who distributed money to his servants with a definite instruction that they should do business till I come (v.13). The first two servants got the challenge, worked diligently against all odds to ensure that they become productive with what they were given. The last, for fear of failure, fear of the austere master (harsh), kept the money and became unproductive. At the return of the master, he was condemned and the money taken away from him. The Scripture is right, the fear of man brings a snare, but whosoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. (Proverbs 29: 25).
The fundamental problem of the failed servant was the fear of failure and consequent punishment from his master. He never saw his God-given ability to succeed. The master equipped him for success but fear robbed him of it. The same is true of many Christians today. Fear of losing admission, contract, employment or failure in business has made many to fail to take bold steps. They see man as the determinant of their future and not God.
Did you know that God has equipped you for greatness in life? Refuse to be ensnared by fear. Your five loaves of bread and two fish (insignificant to feed a crowd) may be the needed ingredient God will use to bless many people. Arise today, pray and do business for the Lord with what you have.
Thou Help of the helpless, give me grace not to be slothful, but to fulfil my God-given destiny in the land of the living, in Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Shalom.

Day 14
BLAME THE DEVIL FOR YESTERDAY, BLAME IGNORANCE FOR TODAY BUT BLAME YOURSELF FOR TOMORROW AFTER THIS.

There is FAMINE in the land. Yes and that's the truth.
Not a big deal. Not a thing of today.
If after this words and you still have a reason to complain. You are to be pitied.
Famine is not a thing of today, our concerns as Kingdom citizens should not be who or what caused the problem but we should be concerned about how to come out of the mess. How to be a solution in midst of the famine.
In Genesis 12vs10 Abram witnessed a grievous famine.
In Genesis 26vs1 Isacc witnessed anther famine beside the earlier famine of Abraham's time.
In Genesis 41vs27:- Seven years of famine is cooking up for Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Egypt where people ran to in the days of famine will now experienced it too.
Ruth 1vs1 famine took Naomi and family away form their land to a strange land looking for solution.
2 Samuel 21vs1 - In the reign of David. There was 3 years of famine.
2 Kings 57vs4- Famine pushed Lepers to enter the came of their enemies, damming the consequences.

The point here is:- What do you do when faced with famine of life and challenges of our society. Do you join the survivors and overcomers or do you join the complainers and wailers.
The choice is yours.

But hear the secret of the survivors and overcomers. That are solution bringers and problem solvers. That's simple.
Joseph became a solution bringers and problem solvers in Egypt in the time of famine Genesis 41vs36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. A statement from a man with solutions even when others are giving up and loosing hope. That's Joseph. A boy with coat of many colours.

In Genesis 41vs50 God rewarded Joseph even when others are panicking because of the famine that is coming. - And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
When you become a solution to the society's problems, those you are serving, chasing up and down, pleading for help and remembrance will come to you - Genesis 41vs55. When you become a problem solvers, you will be in charge - Genesis 41vs56.
Men will pay you homage - Genesis 41vs57. Even your enemies, those who want you dead will come to you looking for solution - Genesis 42vs2-3
When you become a solution bringers and problem solvers, you can easily extend helping hands to others and will never lack - Genesis 43vs11.
Solution bringers and problem solvers can invest and make profit - Genesis 47vs20.
God will always make a way for you even when it's seems there is no way for you are a solution bringers and problem solvers, a succour to many. God will save you in all - 2 Chronicles 20vs9 - If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
A problem solvers will enjoy - They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Therefore I challenge you to be a problem solver and not chief complainant of problem and famine.

As do so to proffer solution to the adverse challenges facing mankind today and telling them that it is only in Christ Jesus that men can fine solutions. God will bless, uplift and prosper you in all you do in Jesus Name. Amen.

SHALOM.
