LO – DEBAR

2 SAMUEL 9:3-5.

  1. David asked, “Is there someone left in Saul’s family to whom I can show God’s kindness ?”
    “Jonathan has a son who is disabled,” Ziba answered.
  2. “Where is he ?” the king asked.
    Ziba replied, “He is at the home of Machir, Ammiel’s son, in Lo Debar.”
  3. So King David sent men to get him from the home of Ammiel’s son Machir in Lo Debar. (GOD’S WORD EDITION).

Lo Debar was a town in Israel. It was a town of forgotten people. It was the town of the lost , outcasts, dregs of the society. It was the town of the oppressed, suppressed, emasculated, strangulated, raped, dehumanised, ostracized and the hopeless .
Lo Debar was where the crippled and hopeless Mephibosheth, (son of Jonathan and grandson of king Saul) was taken after his father and grandfather died in fierce battle same day on Mount Gilboa .
Mephibosheth, the grandson of the late king of Israel became one of the inhabitants of Lo Debar, a town where people existed, a place of loneliness.
There are many people existing in Lo Debar today. People who are lonely and dejected, from the helpless orphans in tattered penury to mega stars in their glittering world.
Lo Debar is not a place anyone likes to be in. It is hardly ever the fault of anyone who finds himself there. Circumstances happened to all who exist in Lo Debar, this place of misery and lamentations.

It was not Mephiboseth’s fault that he was crippled and could not help himself neither was it his fault that his doting father and grandfather died same day leaving him vulnerable. It was not your fault that you had poverty as your surrounding and companion where you were born. It was not your fault that you were abused, molested, traumatized and crippled by circumstances.
It is easy for the fortunate to look down on those who exist in Lo Debar as if it is their fault being there. Most don’t really care about the pains, the travails of the inhabitants of Lo Debar.
Lo Debar is a state that may not necessarily be physical but spiritual. Spiritually, all classes of people live in Lo Debar. People who are lost, spiritually.
King David rescued Mephibosheth from the hellish state in Lo Debar, washed the filth off him, dressed him in princely raiment and made him dine at the king’s table. King David restored to Mephiboseth everything he lost, his inheritance. The rejected became the accepted, the demoralized became glamorized.
King Jesus Christ has seen the deprivations imprisoning you in satanic grip. He knows your despair, resignation and complacency. He understands your fears and doubts. Jesus says, “Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).
Only Jesus Christ really cares about you. Most people are not really concerned about how you feel or what you are going through.

Only Jesus Christ can bring you out of physical and spiritual filthiness, cleanse you, clothe you and guide you to breakthrough here and everlasting life, hereafter.
Jesus Christ wants to restore to you the years the locust have eaten; the possessions the cankerworm have destroyed; and opportunities the waster has wasted.
“The spirit of the Almighty Lord is with me because the Lord has anointed me to deliver good news to humble people. He has sent me to heal those who are brokenhearted, to announce that the captives will be set free and prisoners will be released.
He has sent me to announce the year of the Lord’s good will and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all those who grieve.
He has sent me to provide for all those who grieve in Zion, to give them crowns instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of tears of grief, and clothes of praise instead of a spirit of weakness.” (Isaiah 61:1-3).
That is the ministry of Jesus Christ. That is the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to the Church — release the captives in Lo Debar, clothe them with the garment of grace and bring them to the King’s table, the kingdom of God.
You are the vessel God is yearning to use to win the lost souls to His kingdom. You know those needing help around you. Help them. You don’t need to wait till they ask. The fear of rejection, mockery, gossip or molestation may hinder them from asking you. Be a keeper and bring joy to a hurting soul today. That’s what God expects from you.

ARISE, O GOD !

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR 28/02/2020
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE.

ARISE, O GOD.

PSALM 74: 18-22

  1. Remember how the enemy insulted you, O Lord. Remember how an entire nation of godless fools despised your name.
  2. Do not hand over the soul of your dove to wild animals. Do not forget the life of your oppressed people forever.
  3. Consider your promise because every dark corner of the land is filled with violence.
  4. Do not let oppressed people come back in disgrace. Let weak and needy people praise your name.
  5. Arise, O God ! Fight for your own cause ! Remember how godless fools insult you all day long. (GOD’S WORD SERIES).
  6. There is a catastrophe looming between now and the sixth month of the year that will pale into insignificance whatever we have experienced before now.
    There is a confederacy being cemented and monstrously equipped to unleash mayhem upon the defenceless and the innocent in the land.
    There is an abandonment of the citizenry to the viciousness of the assault of the invaders.
    There is despair in the land and the atmosphere of violence and insecurity turgid with trepidation.
    This rain of death must be averted. The confederacy must be broken into pieces and destroyed. Evil must not be allowed to triumph. The weaponry of the invaders must consume them.
    We must call on our God to arise and annihilate these godless monsters. Let God arise to defend His heritage.
    There is an urgent need to move the hand of God through the spiritual retreat into God’s presence for three days and three nights with fasting, as God gives you grace, starting from Tuesday 2nd to Thursday 4th March. Psalm 74:18-22 will be recited every morning and evening during this souls a saving and tragedy a averting exercise.
    Pray that God will expose the principal actors of the confederacy, clip their wings and render them impotent.
    Pray that God will deliver the captives, rain brimstones and fire to destroy the camps of the invaders.
    Pray that God will arise and judge the malefactors who are bent on unleashing pogrom in the land.
    Pray that God will turn their counsel to foolishness.
    Pray that the blood of God’s people must no more be shed on the satanic altar of the godless invaders.
    Pray for the safety of your household in these perilous times.
    Pray that God may comfort those that have suffered indignations and bereavement.
    Pray that the Omnipotent and Omniscient God will march you into your inheritance in this month of March.
    Pray that God will grant you enabling grace to effectively do the work of the evangelist.
    Pray further as the Holy Spirit gives you utterances.
    Our prayers of faith will indeed move the might of God for our deliverance and restoration, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
    May God prosper us and deliver us from the insane callousness of these satanic agents masquerading under various platforms.

JUDGEMENT

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE 21/02/2021

JUDGEMENT

GENESIS 4:10-12

Genesis 4:10
Then He said “what have you done?
Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground”!

You made him work without payment
Her hard labour unrecognized
The proletariat retrenched at your whims
Your atrocious caprices nauseating

You took what you don’t own
You took what you can’t give back
When you killed him
When you murdered her

Genesis 4:11
“Now you are cursed with alienation from the ground that opened it’s mouth to receive your brother’s blood you have shed”

You appropriated his dues, starving him
You eroded her confidence, demeaning her
You enchanted the masses, enslaving them
How pathetic, morally deficient your stinking opulence

You took away what you don’t own
You took what you can’t give back
When you killed him
When you murdered her

Genesis 4:12
” If you work the land, it will never again give you it’s yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth”

You destroyed him when you dispossess him
You murdered her when you took away her pride
You annihilated them when you put them in chains
You revelled in orgy of violence dehumanizing Divine images

You took what you don’t own
You took what you can’t give back
When you killed him
When you murdered her

And
Now, you are cursed, bereft of love
Insatiable, discontented, restless
Depraved, humourless and ugly
The embodiment of unfathomable misery

  • Holy Bible – Genesis 4:10-12 ( The Christian Standard Bible Version) .

REPENT NOW. ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR.

TRANSFORMATION

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR

DEVOTIONAL SERVICE 14/02/2021

TRANSFORMATION

GENESIS 45:3-5

  1. Joseph said to his brothers, ” I am Joseph ! Is my father still living ?” But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
  2. Then Joseph said to his brothers, “come close to me”. When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt !
  3. And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you”. ( NIV ).
  4. The brothers of Joseph could not recognize him. The splendours around Joseph surpassed the imaginations of his brothers; ‘their’ Joseph was supposedly languishing in slavery or even dead. They had earlier bowed before ‘ this’ man and ‘this’ man could not be Joseph. In fact, they had sold Joseph into a life of misery and penury to forestall obeisance to him, so ‘this’ man, this great ruler, could not possibly be ‘their’ Joseph !
    But, it was ‘their’ Joseph and they had bowed before him. They had failed to stop Joseph from fulfilling his destiny. Their wicked deeds notwithstanding, the God of Joseph had fought for him and uplifted him above his enemies.
    I declare to you this day that surely as the Lord lives, your detractors will marvel at your great transformation from nobody to celebrity when God has perfected the awesome work of your uplifting and fulfilment, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
    Joseph had to repeat his introduction of himself, ” I am Joseph…” because the brothers were so terrified at his presence that they had become ‘deaf ‘.
    I declare to you this day that God is about to elevate your status in a bewildering manner that will terrify your persecutors, in Jesus Christ’s name.
    To crown the humiliating experience of his brothers, Joseph refused to apportion any blame to them despite their deeds of wickedness. Joseph saw the brothers’ act as the act of God to make him a preserver of lives. He saw his brothers as vessels of God’s plans for the fulfilment of his destiny: the brothers meant it for destruction of Joseph but God planned it for his elevation.
    I stand on the Word of God and by the unction of the Holy Spirit that God will turn the diabolical devices of your detractors into ladders of elevation for you, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
    Beloved, I see you celebrating. I see others rejoicing with you. I see your unrepentant foes wailing. I see laughter replacing tears of sorrow, and I see you Divinely uplifted from nobody to somebody, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

*** Cleave to Jesus Christ, get abundant life; Seek the Kingdom of God, get every other things;
Joseph refused to sin against God by fornicating: aspire to lead a life of holiness.
Win souls for God’s Kingdom, get fulfilment;
We’re pilgrims on earth, strive after everlasting life with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Trust God, stay Godly , be triumphant.

STORMS

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE 7/02/2021

STORMS

TEXT: ISAIAH 25:4-5

“4. You have been a place of safety for the poor and needy in times of trouble. Brutal enemies pounded us like a heavy rain or the heat of the sun at noon, but you were our shelter.

  1. Those wild foreigners struck like scorching desert heat. But you were like a cloud, protecting us from the sun. You kept our enemies from singing songs of victory. “
    (CEV).

HYMNAL :

The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide :
A shelter in the time of storm !
Secure whatever ill betide :
A shelter in the time of storm !
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land !
A weary land, a weary land :
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm !

A storm symbolizes problems, difficulties, strength and weakness. A storm can be defined as a violent wind ; a tempest, usually accompanied by rain or snow. A storm may be likened to a violent disturbance of public peace. A storm may describe a violent assault on a stronghold. A storm epitomizes adversity, calamity.
Storms can be physical or spiritual. Whether physical or spiritual, storms bring a lot of trepidation, anxieties, pains and sorrow. Storms afflict. While the physical storm may not persist for long, the spiritual storm takes a longer period to abate or cease. In both cases of storms, the Holy Bible, the authentic Word of God , has given adequate guidance on how to wage the battle of Storms triumphantly.
In the first place , the Bible makes it clear that storms will arise, whether we like it or not. In other words, we must prepare for storms ! During a storm it is natural to panic but if we had expected it and made preparations against it, we would be less panicky when confronted.
In the face of storms, we must arm ourselves with the shield of faith as we look at Jesus Christ and trust Him to calm the raging storms.
We must be full of gratitude to God with the faith that understands that the storms are not meant to destroy us but to refine us and draw us closer to the Omnipotent God for though storms appear potent, they are not omnipotent !
We must understand that God is and can never be powerless before any storm confronting us, physical or spiritual, and if that be the case, why then can we entertain any fears or anxieties when He has assured us of safety ? The storm is under God’s control and God is our sufficiency.
The Word of God, the Bible has taught us the power of the tongue. God has assured us that whatever we decree according to His will He will establish it. We know that it is His will for us to live in peace and we also know He honours His word faithfully, therefore it is pertinent for us to speak to the storm to be calm ; to declare to the threatening storm to cease ; and to decree life instead of the impeding doom. Yes, tell the storm to dissolve, in Jesus Christ’s name !

THE SPIRIT GROANS

“2. The time is coming when the Lord will make his land fruitful and glorious again, and the people of Israel who survive will take great pride in what the land produces.

  1. Everyone who is left alive in Jerusalem will be called special
    4.after the Lord sends a fiery judgment to clean the city and its people of their violent deed 5.Then the Lord will cover the whole city and its meeting places with a thick cloud each day and with a flaming fire each night. God’s own glory will be like a huge tent that covers everything.
    6.It will provide shade from the heat of the sun and a place of shelter and protection from storms and rain.” Isaiah 4:2-6. ( CEV) .

My heart bleeds for my people:
Lord God Almighty deliver your people from devastation and starvation ; from deception and wanton destruction ; and from brutal occupation and annihilation.

BITTERNESS

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE 31/01/2021

BITTERNESS
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:31-32

31.Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude.

  1. Instead, be kind and merciful, forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
    (CEV).

“Bitterness is like drinking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die. ” — John Ortberg Jr.

Bitterness is a killer. The soil of bitterness is the heart. The seed of bitterness is hurt. The root of bitterness goes deep into the heart. The fruits of bitterness are hypersensitivity, grudges, ingratitude, insincerity, and unforgiving.
Bitterness takes its toll on the bitter person physically, emotionally and spiritually. Bitterness begins when an offense finds its way into our hearts; when we continually replay the offense in our minds; when we complain about the offense to anyone who cares enough to listen; when we attempt to convince others on the culpability of the perceived offender in order to cause resentment; when we hate the offender without bothering whether the offense was intentional or not; and when we harbour anger, discontent and resentment in our hearts to the point of wishing mishaps, failure, disappointment , reproach and even death for the offender. Bitterness is sinful.
The journey of Life involves interrelationships and people have diverse dispositions. As long as we live, people are going to offend us, disappoint us, and betray us. There are also people who will categorise us as offenders too depending on whatever way they adjudge our acts of omission or commission. That is Life. Despite the situation, we must never allow bitterness to consume us. When a heart is bitter, holiness leaves since hatefulness and holiness do not cohabit in the same vessel. The Bible makes it clear that without holiness we will not see God. In other words, with bitterness we will not see God.

“Try to live at peace with everyone! Live a clean life. If you don’t, you will never see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14. (CEV).

In order to overcome bitterness we must be empathetic; we must be ready to forgive one another because we also must have hurt people, even if unintentionally; we must not forget that we were sinners before Jesus Christ’s work of grace redeemed us; we must learn to pray into the circumstances of our resentment; we must learn to pray for the person who we consider as the offender; we must seek spiritual counselling, if the need arises; we must draw closer to God and allow the Holy Spirit to comfort us that we will find it easy to forgive and forget; and we must consciously make efforts to disallow resentment, envy, anger, ingratitude, and discontentment grow into bitterness.
God, increase our faith in the name of Jesus Christ.

TREPIDATION TO RELAXATION

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR.

TREPIDATION TO RELAXATION.
TEXT: ISAIAH 42:21-22.

21.The Lord always does right, and so he wanted his Law to be greatly praised.
22.But his people were trapped and imprisoned in holes with no one to rescue them. All they owned had been taken, and no one was willing to give it back.
(CEV).

What has been your experience till now? Have you been experiencing satanic afflictions? Have your marriage, your health, your finances, and your mind been attacked by demonic forces? Have you been so maltreated by situations that you have become an outcast? Has Satan taken away your happiness so much that you now wear the garment of reproach in pains and defeat? Has affliction turned all your years of struggling into agonizing waste? Has your land been laid bare by locusts and cankerworms? Is Satan insinuating that you are finished, hopeless and helpless? Has the devil convinced you that God has abandoned you and that you can never possess your possessions ? Are you having the notion that it is too late for you to succeed in life?
The Lord has sent me to you, beloved. Listen no more to satanic insinuations. Fear no more the greatly antagonizing situations around you. Look no more at the storm but rather the Power that calms storms. Henceforth, instead of gloom, you will have laughter; instead of being in the dust, you will be lifted up; and instead of desperation, you will have restoration. The work of the enemy in your life is abating and ceasing. Instead of devastation, you will have celebrations.
Keys to unlock the satanic prison, regain freedom and possess your possessions thereby fulfilling Divine purpose for your life are hereby delivered to you. God’s intention towards you is good. It is time to recover from distress, frustration and discontent. It’s time for your restoration and only God has the power to restore. God will pass through man to restore you, but do not hope in man rather hope in God.

  1. Make up your mind as to what you want from God and be prepared to take the steps of faith after receiving Divine directives.
    2.Resist the devil. Satan hates you. Satan is intent on stealing from you. He wants to destroy your life. He wants you to continue wallowing in sin so as to deprive you of the joy in fellowship with God. You must no more believe the lies from the gates of hell rather believe God for God faithfully and passionately loves you.
    3.Return to God. Seek the Kingdom of God. Read and meditate prayerfully on the Word of God. Seek knowledge, understanding and wisdom from the Living Word.
    4.Eschew arrogance. Be humble to admit your need for emancipation from satanic grip; your need for restoration.
    5.Allow the Holy Spirit to function effectively in your life, henceforth. Let the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit fully manifest in your affairs and you will surely be glad you did.
    God is doing something great in your life right now. Your situation is changing from lack to abundance; from distress to happiness; from discomfort to easement; from dejection to gaiety; from distraction to calmness; from agony to assuagement; from anxiety to reassurance; from anguish to contentment; from despair to hope; from melancholy to cheerfulness; and from trepidation to relaxation, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR 24/01/21

SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP.
TEXT: ACTS 2:42

They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.
(CEV).

Spiritual Fellowship was created by the Holy Spirit. It was a creation that came into existence as promise fulfilled for Jesus Christ before his ascension did promise to send the Holy Spirit to the disciples to empower, teach and comfort them. Jesus Christ had forseen the great affliction that would be visited upon the believers and saw the need for the disciples to be strengthened, encouraged and comforted. The Holy Spirit descending to replace his ascension was Jesus Christ’s solution to the problem facing the Church. Jesus Christ, therefore, told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem till the Power promised would descend and empower them.
The Holy Spirit descended and took charge of the Church on the Day of Pentecost when the believers received the Comforter and till today, the Holy Spirit has been sustaining and directing the Church of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:1-6).
It is imperative for the Church to exhibit the characteristics of spiritual fellowship else she becomes like salt losing its savour; like light lacking its lustre ; and like beauty fading away.
The early Church had the following characteristics and it is important that we compare them with what the Church is now in order to appraise ourselves correctly.
Characteristics of the early Church :
_ Encouraging one another (one for all, all for one) ;
Supporting one another in physical needs ; Respect for one another, taking into consideration their differences ;
_ They shared their experiences, their fears and joy together without reservations ;
_They did not indulge in gossip and as such they had confidence in sharing their plight, their weaknesses and strength ;
_The truth was spoken in love ; weaknesses readily admitted and forgiveness quickly given ; and the group was made the priority. The life was communal and while nobody was forced to play a particular role, the Church
never hesitated in dealing righteously with fraudsters and the cankerworms in their midst. The gospel was given top priority and the disciples strove in all ways to be true disciples of Jesus Christ with non-believers attesting to the lifestyle, hence the name Christians ( first so called in Antioch).
Are we as the Body of Christ still qualify to be called Christians ? Do we live Christlike ? Do we respect our differences, our weaknesses ? Do we support one another and speak the truth in love ? Can God use our humility and hospitality to reveal Himself to someone needing salvation ? Can God trust us for the glorious work of evangelism ?

Prayers:
_ Lord, grant me the grace to always show love to those I come in contact with.
Lord, help me to avoid or overcome spiritual hypocrisy .

_Lord, empower me to minister effectively to people’s needs

_Lord, grant me the grace to always be thankful for your mercies instead of complaining in bitterness concerning what I lack.

_Lord, remold me totally into a vessel of honour for kingdom work in the vineyard.
_Lord, fill me the more with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
We are hereby enjoined to remain in Christian Fellowship ; do the work of an evangelist ; depopulate the enclave of satan as we win souls for the kingdom of God.
Our labours shall not be in vain, in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
