God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams. (Daniel 1:17 NLT)
It is my prayer that God gives you special ability to do everything want to do, and to stop everything you want stop in Jesus’ Name. Amen

YOUR LIMITATIONS ARE UNREAL 2
Romans 12: 2 says “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” A person is not different from his dominant thoughts. That is why it is very important to renew the mind daily with God’s Word. Human beings are filled with infinite potentials. God created us in His image. The scripture talks about how man was able to use his gifts to build a tower that made God came down to see what he was doing. I believe every man can do what he sets his mind to do. However, Satan doesn’t want that to happen. Therefore, he paints pictures on our minds, and makes them look so real that when we look around us, we tend to believe those lies.
Friends, my message today is Your limitations are unreal. Everything you see as an obstacle is not real so move on, and don’t quit.
When Moses and God’s children came to the red sea, God told them to go forward. The sea was a limitation. Again, when Joshua got to Jordan, God told him to move forward. Jordan River was a limitation. The Wall of Jericho was another limitation. Let us talk about David and Goliath, Elijah and Four hundred prophets of Baal, Elijah and Elisha before Jordan River. Daniel knew he could be thrown into the Lion’s den. The den was a limitation. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace; it was a limitation. These people saw what looked real before them but when they stood in faith, and believed in their God, they found out later that those limitations were unreal. They moved forward, and nothing could stop them. What do you think is your limitation? God has placed in you all you would need to be what He created you to be. Everything you would need is within reach.
Today let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. If you think you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, you can. On the other hand, If you think you can’t because satan says so, you can’t.
Don’t give up because of the pressure. Each one of us has got his/her life to live. By the way don’t forget God created us differently but in His image. Both Moses and Joshua came before water but God did something different in each case. He is God. Don’t make mistake by comparing yourself with people. Don’t say because they use path A, you must also use path A. When you do that you would be faced with so many limitations, and you may start believing satan’s lies. I have faced so many limitations in life but when I got to them, I realised they were not real.
Be encouraged that you can achieve what you have set your mind to achieve because Christ is your strength.
God bless you
What have you purposed in your Heart?
But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. Daniel 1:8
I am grateful for what the Lord has done in my life for the first half of the year. It has been a great joy considering where I was at the start of year, and where I am now. I thank Him so much for His goodness and loving kindness.
Today, I want to talk about determination. We are living in the last days. The King of kings would soon come for His own. But what we see in our world is; it is very difficult to distinguish between the chosen and the rest of the world. We live like the people of the world. Let us not forget that Satan and his demons are dictating to the world through the people they have put in authority. But in this are we supposed to shine as light. We are the light of the world. Daniel’s life should be a good example for believer all over the world.
The scripture says Daniel determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to him by the King. He had faith in God so after the 10 days; his countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat. He remembered his God in good times and God never disappointed him.
My question today is;
What have you purposed in your heart in these last days?
In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul said “Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.” So many things are happening around us. People are doing everything they could to survive. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 NLT. We can do anything to survive but not all is good for us. This calls for us to be careful. We have to determine to live a life that is holy and acceptable. We have to determine that we are not going to defile God’s temple with the “food and wine” Satan has got to offer. Your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost.
Daniel was offered the best food and wine. It was the King’s order yet he didn’t compromise his integrity. He stood firm for the Lord. If you stand for the Lord, He will stand for you. Daniel knew God as his source of strength and life. How many of us today can do what Daniel did at the office, among friends, in the Church, at home, etc. Christians are more concerned about what people say more than what God says. Let us learn today that we can be better off if we choose to live a life which is holy and acceptable.
What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? You could be the richest man on earth, the famous minister of the Gospel, the best actor of Hollywood, chorister, instrumentalist, usher, etc. You could be the best you want to be but should you lose your soul, you would be the most miserable person on earth. Jesus has been lifted above everything that has name, and He is coming again. Would He find you sleeping or awake? Are you watching?
The world and everything in it is passing away. It has been reserved for fire. Our time to decide where we want to be is now. Now that we have life, and now that we count ourselves among the living. I want to encourage you to purpose in your heart that you wouldn’t defile your body, which is God’s temple, with any portion of the king’s meat. It could a bait Satan is using to get your soul. Beware!
Determine to live for Jesus Christ and Him alone.
God bless you!
I will close with this;
Psalm 141:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
Don’t let me drift toward evil
or take part in acts of wickedness.
Don’t let me share in the delicacies
of those who do wrong.
Uplifting Christ
