I Will Revive the One With A Broken Spirit and A Contrite Heart

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.


Isaiah 57: 15-21.
King James Version (KJV

You Cannot Know God Until He Reveals Himself To You

Anybody can claim to know God.
But You cannot know God until HE has revealed HIMSELF to you. And HE cannot reveal HIMSELF to you without HIS Holy Spirit. So, without His Holy Spirit you can never know God.
Anyone who knows HIM does not live a life of conceit and deceit.
God hates lies for He said Satan is the father of lies.
So, whosoever tells lies is not of God.
Because, our Lord Jesus Christ said:
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
- John 8:44.

The chief demon is known by several names: Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, Old Nick, Beelzebub, the Tempter, the Father of Lies, the Evil One, and the ancient Dragon. And those who belong to him behave like him. Deceivers, liars, pretenders, ingrates, troublemakers, evil doers and others like them who are legions among humans.

If you truly know God, you will not live a life of lies.
And without God your life is empty even if you are Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or President Donald Trump.

How Magnificent You Are, O Lord!

How Magnificent You Are, O Lord!

How magnificent you are to me
How magnificent for my eyes to see
To see the wonders of your creations
Your magnificent creations beyond human imaginations
To behold the beauty of your holiness
And to behold the glory of your righteousness.

Refrain: How magnificent you are, O Lord!

You are highly exalted throughout the ages
And we praise you in our different languages
Praising your holy name from nation to nation
As we rejoice in the joy of salvation
Because we are the redeemed of the Lord
And we have become the children of Almighty God.

Jesus Christ Does Not Like Empty Life Without Worthy Legacy

Jesus Christ Does Not Like Empty Life Without Worthy Legacy

The contradiction in the lives of majority of Nigerian church goers who claim to be Christians is that their lifestyles are contrary to the commandments of Jesus Christ and they don't even follow His teachings. And that's why they have empty lives.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said:

Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Luke 11:33 "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
NOW LOOK AT YOUR LIFE

Does your life have any saltiness (worthiness) to your society or you are just living for yourself?

Is your life shining in the world?
Do you shine for others to see your good works?
Or you don't even have any good work to show at all?

Lest we forget, your works are your achievements and your achievements are your legacy.

Achieve New Things in 2017!

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
~ Isaiah 43:19, Holy Bible.

One thing most people don't know about Almighty God JEHOVAH is the awesome fact that He loves doing new things on earth! New creations. New things in restoration and new things in transformation.

God has never failed to grant me the grace to achieve new things in my life and use me to achieve new things in the lives of others such that totally unknown people become known once they meet me. That's the anointing of my calling.

Since 1997 after that night vigil in the Trinity Tabernacle Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) when our Pastor, Afolayan prophesied the coming of the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize mass communication and transform the ways of life in the world, we have been witnessing unprecedented things. Yahoo launched in that same 1997 and followed by Google in 1998 when I started a new job as a counselor in the Redemption Light, official magazine of RCCG in the office of our General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. Then I joined the Editor, Mrs. Josephine Dirionyemma and her husband, Mr. Vitalis Dirionyemma as a Production Manager when they started their "Money Wise" on DBN TV in 1998. Then in 2000, I registered my first company, King of Kings Books International. New things happened every year. It is either I produce a new play or publish a new book or blog. In 2013, two new things happened! The launching of my Screen Outdoor Open Air Cinema (SOOAC) with the first edition of the popular NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series and I brought "Girl Rising" to celebrate the first United Nations' International Day of the Girl in Nigeria In 2014, the second edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series came out; I launched Transform Nigeria Network on Facebook and Twitter sponsored by the Transformation Group of former President Goodluck Jonathan and I started the Girls United Together for Success (GUTS) project. In 2015, I published "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream" and I cosponsored the Nigerian premiere of "He Named Me Malala" documentary film of the brave Pakistani school girl, Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Prize winner. Then last year 2016, more new things were achieved. The film production of my "Lagos in Motion" documentary with the publication of the photo album which Amazon released for worldwide distribution and I started my Screen Naija YouTube channel. And as I welcome the New Year with thanksgiving to Almighty God JEHOVAH, He has already shown me that He will do more new things in my life in the abundance of His infinite Grace. And I don't want you to be left out of the awesome goodness from the Throne of Grace of God. Therefore, be ready to achieve new things in 2017 from grace to grace.

Cheers for our outstanding success and victory!

Happy New Year 2017! Arise, Shine! Be Victorious!

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you."
~ Isaiah 60:1, Holy Bible.

The Amnesia of Ingratitude: Between A Christ Embassy Brother and An RCCG Brother in Lagos

The Amnesia of Ingratitude: Between A Christ Embassy Brother and An RCCG Brother in Lagos

A member of the Christ Embassy was homeless in Lagos and no fellow member of his church could help him. But his girlfriend was able to appeal to a gracious brother of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) with a cyber cafe and allowed the Christ Embassy brother to be sleeping there until he could get a better accommodation.
He stayed there until one day without notice he left and never returned to thank the RCCG brother. His girlfriend also appealed to the RCCG brother to help her meet anyone who would assist and boost her ambition to be an actress and model. The RCCG brother introduced her to another member of the RCCG well known in Nollywood as a popular film writer and Publisher/Editor of the international NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series. The God sent gracious man did his best for her and introduced her to the biggest filmmakers in Nollywood.. Even though she was not tall which is the standard for his criteria, he made her a national celebrity within three years and she received hundreds of thousands of naira from him to support her through the university and motivate her to succeed. But like her boyfriend she did not return to show gratitude to the RCCG brother.

HALLELUJAH! Thank You Lord!

I thank Almighty God JEHOVAH for all the blessings, favours, provisions and miracles of the abundance of His infinite grace in my life, family and my company, International Digital Post Network Limited in 2016.

Thank you to all the fantastic companies and great people who patronized and supported us in 2016.

Giving Tuesday Message from 1 Corinthians 13 KJV

And the Greatest is Charity

1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

~ 1 Corinthians 13 KJV

Let Us Stop Hypocritical Stupidity

Let Us Stop Hypocritical Stupidity

The worst problem affecting sustainable human development in Nigeria is not political corruption, but lack of education or lack of intellectual comprehension of our existential realities. And lest we forget, lack of education does not mean not going to formal school. Because you can have a degree and still be uneducated which is very common in Nigeria. Like I illustrated once that I have seen better parenting among sheep than among many Nigerian parents.

Poor rational thought is what makes someone to act irrationally and be corrupt in human conduct and be an idiot. I see many idiots from the street to the internet, even those I call corporate idiots, especially among the multitudes who claim to be "Christian", but their thinking and behaviour are contrary to their claim. Following the Beatitudes as preached and practiced by our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ is more than enough for us to breathe and create a better and greater human community. But only the educated can do so.

The uneducated remain intellectually immature and insecure.

It is hypocritical stupidity to be name dropping God and saying " Click Like" or "Type Amen" when you don't practice the TRUTH and telling lies has become a normal lifestyle.

Lest we forget, what Jesus Chris said: in Matthew 7:16 "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"
Anything contrary is falsehood.
Let us stop hypocritical stupidity.

Almighty God is Our Everlasting Light

Almighty God is our everlasting light
That shines brightest even in the darkest night.
Almighty God is the light of the world
That never goes out
The sun that does not set
Oh, Lord! Make my life shine for the whole world to see
The beautiful and wonderful things you are doing for me
And give you all the glory
For I shall tell them my story
And the whole world will know my testimony.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!!

What Will Be Your Legacy in the End?

What will be your legacy in the end?
The legacy of grace or the legacy of disgrace?

What have you contributed to the human race?
A life of falsehood or a life of honesty?
Anyone who lives in fear of the Truth is the most insecure human on earth.

The wealthiest nations on earth are not the countries building skyscrapers and towers kissing the clouds, but those building lives of beauty, dignity, integrity and nobility.

America and the UK are not among the wealthiest nations on earth.
A survey recently revealed that 69 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. And more than 48 million Americans are living in poverty.

The lives we have failed to build yesterday have become the antisocial psychos and sickos who are the criminals and terrorists destroying lives and properties today.
The millions of underprivileged children we failed to educate a decade ago later became the poor fathers and mothers of majority of the street urchins and criminals attacking and robbing people in our towns and cities.

Is it not stupid to leave your children in the care of housemaids you fail to send to school?
And you tell the illiterate housemaids to bathe and feed your children.
If you fail to educate your housemaid, how can she communicate with your children?
No wonder you are raising children with unusual behavior.

A middle class family in Lagos moved into their new duplex on the outskirts of Lagos city. But their mansion was in the midst of a ghetto with poverty stricken families who breed kids they cannot feed. The middle class family lived behind their iron gates and high walls and never interacted with the poor families around them.  But one fateful day, their mansion was on fire caused by an electrical fault in the night. They could not put out the fire and were screaming for help. But the poor people around their house were reluctant to respond, because they never communicated with them before. Their mansion was destroyed by the fire with their cars and other properties and they were lucky to escape from the fire. They became homeless and ended up in a tenement house in the ghetto. That was the first time they interacted closely with their poor neighbors.

A person without any social responsibility has no worthy legacy.

If You Don't keep the Commandments of Jesus Christ, You Are Not a Christian

Spiritual ignorance kills.
The same terrible mistake that the people of Jesus Christ made by their ignorance of him as The Messiah majority of so called Christians are still making today. And I ask: are they really Christians or just church goers?
Do they read the Holy Bible well or they read it upside down?
To make understanding our Lord Jesus Christ easier, study Matthew 5, 7 and 25.

Don't Play Church in Conceit and Deceit

Don't Play Church in Conceit and Deceit 

Don't play "Church" to give the impression of being a "Christian", yet you don't practice Christianity.

Going to church is not Christianity.
Obeying the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ is the true Christianity.

If you have bitterness out of envy, jealousy, greed and hatred without repentance you are not a Christian.
If you tell evil lies against anyone, you are not a Christian.
If you refuse to pay your debts to someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are cheating someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are disrespecting someone, you are not a Christian.
If you are disrespectful, unfaithful and ungrateful, you are not a Christian.
If you are maltreating someone, you are not a Christian.
If you continue to be a drunkard, you are not a Christian.
If you continue to sin in rebellion against God, you are not a Christian.
If you have stolen and taken what is not yours, you are not a Christian.
If you are plotting and working against the progress and success of someone, you are not a Christian.

A true Christian is honest and transparent.
A true Christian obeys the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Anything contrary to this is falsehood.

Matthew 15:8 "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me..

Majority of Nigerian Pastors Don't Understand the Holy Scriptures

Majority of Nigerian Pastors Don't Understand the Holy Scriptures

If you know the sacred scriptures of the Holy Bible very well and the life of our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ, you can see that majority of Nigerians claiming and professing that they are Christian pastors and ministers don't understand the scriptures. And that is why their congregants and followers go to church, but behave like pagans.

The Holy Bible clearly identified them in the following chapters.

2 Timothy 3:5:
"Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."

Hosea 4:6:
"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.'

True Christianity is transparent.
You cannot be dishonest in conceit and deceit and still claim to be a Christian.
You are not a Christian.
You are a fraud.

You cannot claim and profess to be a Christian pastor or minister and still be an apologist for liars, crooks and rogues in government and private business.

Which scriptures are you practicing?
What our Lord Jesus Christ said is clear.
" If you love me, keep my commandments."~ John 14:15.
Therefore, you don't, you are not of Christ.
There is nothing more to say, because that's what Jesus Christ said.
And the Holy Bible is clear. So, don't be deceived.
2 Timothy 3:5
"Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people".

If You Had One Hour With Solomon.

If You Had One Hour With Solomon...

Do You Really Know What You Want In Life?
What goal presently excites and energizes you? When you are alone and away from everyone else, what do you dream of becoming, doing, possessing? When people hear your name spoken, what do they automatically think of? What legacy do you want to pass on to others?

Few People Really Know What They Want. They do not realize that their dream is either born within them or borrowed from someone else. I have talked to so many people who admitted that their present pursuit was simply something their mother or father desired for them... something others expected of them...the result of a convenient opportunity that never became their own personal vision. How disappointing that most people never pursue their own inner passion. But that person does not have to be you.

Your Dream Is Closer Than You Can Imagine. Your dream is completely obtainable. Recognize it. Embrace it. Pursue it. This is your season to do something significant with your life.

If You Don't Know What You Really Want, Who Are You Going To Ask?

If You Don't Know Where You Belong, You Will Adapt To Where You Are.
King Solomon Was The Richest Man Who Ever Lived. He knew what he wanted. He was passionate about his Dream.
  ► Passionate people become powerful people.
  ► Passionate people create excitement and enthusiasm.
► Passionate people generate waves of favor that naturally attract access and promotion.

Solomon Had A Passion To Create Something Unique And Incredible For God. He did not consult a committee. He did not ask his family for permission. He did not conduct a poll to seek the opinion of others. He reached into his own heart. He looked at the photograph of his own Dream. He expanded his personal vision beyond the limits of what anyone else said he could do. He boldly announced his dream...a dream too big to contain...a dream that consumed his time...his Mind...his conversation...every waking hour of his day. The Clearer Your Goals, The Greater Your Faith.

Solomon Was A Master In Achievements. Few men in history equal his magnificent works.
Your Dream Is Closer Than It Has Ever Been In Your Lifetime.

The Golden Keys of Success are within your reach. You do not need a lot of keys to enter a bank vault...just the right key. Little keys often unlock huge treasures. Your life can change. Your success can be multiplied. Stay focused on these Success Secrets. Think and meditate about your Palace of Greatness...The Place you have always dreamed of being. It is where you belong.

I Met Mark Zuckerberg On Wednesday and Received A Cheque from America Yesterday

I Met Mark Zuckerberg On Wednesday and Received A Cheque from America Yesterday

HALLELUJAH!
Wow!
It was not in my New Year resolutions for 2016 and not even in my wildest dreams, but Almighty God JEHOVAH made it happen.
On Wednesday afternoon on August 31, 2016, I met Mark Zuckerberg, the famous Co-founder and CEO of Facebook during his first ever trip to sub-Saharan Africa and he chose Lagos, our Lagos megacity as his first touch with Nigeria.
He came to Afrinolly Space in Oregun, in Ikeja on the mainland of Lagos, Africa’s largest megacity and the commercial hub of the continent.
Mark and his Facebook team wanted to see the digital hub of Nollywood, Nigeria’s phenomenal film industry.

I was sitting in the office of Mr. Chike Maduegbuna, the CEO of Afrinolly with Mr. Abayomi Adeloye, the Zonal Manager of Ikeja 1 branch of Wema Bank Plc and Arthur, a young European man from Air France who said he accompanied the celebrated Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan to the event. As we were talking, Mark Zuckerberg, the famous Co-founder and CEO of Facebook walked in and greeted us with smiles. We stood up to welcome him and we shook hands.
He was dressed simply in a T-Shirt, trousers and shoes. You can pass Mark for an ebullient White teenager on the street without giving him a second look. Without even any hint that he is the multi-billionaire CEO of Facebook and the 5th richest person in the world with US$53.7 billion as of August 2016. And according to Wikipedia Facebook became the fastest company in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to reach a market cap of $250 billion. Facebook has more than 1.65 billion monthly active users as of March 31, 2016.

Afrinolly received Facebook's Augmented Reality (AR) 360-degree camera with Head Mounted Display (HMD) goggles which Nollywood diva, Rita Dominic and others saw how to use it in their future film productions, because the future of Nollywood will be powered by the digital ecosystem.
AR can let us see beyond the one-ten trillionth of the electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can register.
See one of the videos on Instagram here and I will show more on my Screen Naija YouTube channel.

Then yesterday, on the first of September, I received my first cheque from LULU Inc of the United States of America for books!
I just went on my knees this morning and lifted up the cheque to give thanksgiving to Almighty God JEHOVAH, because it is written in Psalm 118 of the Holy Bible.

1. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

23. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

In spite of the global recession affecting Jesus, Almighty God JEHOVAH still gave me the vision and provision to make my first documentary feature "Lagos in Motion: Sights and Sounds of Africa's Largest Megacity" and Amazon Books published the book version in paperback and Amazon Kindle tablet worldwide. And I have received offers for the worldwide distribution of the film for VOD, AVOD and SVOD.
https://www.amazon.com/LAGOS-MOTION-Africas-Largest-Megacity/dp/1536934925

Join me to rejoice and praise the one and only true Almighty God JEHOVAH who alone gives a bumper harvest in the midst of drought and brings a food basket in the desert and makes a way where there was no way.
HALLELUJAH.
May His awesome infinite power of the abundance of His infinite Grace continue to flow in the life of every believer in the land of the living in the Almighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Saviour and Messiah. Amen.

We Must Stop Fooling Ourselves Pretending To Be Christians

If the life of Jesus Christ does not reflect on our own lifestyles, then we are only fooling ourselves, because we cannot fool God.

I see multitudes of churchgoers, but not many of them are Christians.
We may fool the whole world, but we cannot fool Almighty God.
Why should we continue to live in conceit and deceit?
That is why there are more fake pastors than real ones and more false prophets than true ones.
And there are many wolves in sheep clothing in the midst of the flock. 

Fools pretending to be Christians, but are full of scams and whims of avarice, caprice, malice and prejudice in the world.

Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ clearly showed us the truth as written in the books of Matthew and John I have quoted below.

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Judging Others

1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Ask, Seek, Knock

7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

You Are Destined for Greatness

Study Champions.
David was a champion. Samuel was a champion.
They walked the path of obedience. Learn from their mistakes, their successes, their lives. Losers build their lives around their weaknesses.
Champions build their lives around their strengths. You are destined for greatness, too.
Talk it. Believe it. Live it.
Champions simply use the Master Key of Obedience.

"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens," (Hebrews 11:32-34).
