Message Title: *Who is on the Lord's Side? (Pt. 2C)*

God cannot force anyone to come to His side. - Matt. 23:27-28, Jer. 6:16-19

There is nothing that you do away from God's side that counts.

Make a decision to be on God's side.

Righteousness = Blessings

Sin or wickedness = Curses

No one can curse whom God has not cursed.

No one can defy whom God has not defied.

So also, no one can bless whom God has not blessed.

There is no key that looks like a door.

Obedience to God might not look like it will change your situation, but it will change your situation.

'Yahoo-yahoo' cannot bless you; it only places a curse on you.

*Characteristics of People that God Will Bless

1. The righteous. - Ps. 5:12, Ps. 37:18-19, Ps. 33:18-19, Isa. 3:10-11

- Righteousness is not positional; it must be practised.

2. The obedient. - Deut. 28:1-2, Luke 5:1-8, Job 36:11

- Outside of your obedience, there is no access to blessings.

3. Those who love God in truth and indeed. - 1 Cor. 2:9, Rom. 8:28

- The blessings of God will only locate the lovers of God.

4. Those who serve the Lord. - Ex. 23:34-25, Matt. 6:33, Job 1:8-10

- Your commitment to serving God, is your sustenance of the blessings of God.

5. The faithful. - Pro. 28:20, Matt. 24:45-46

- There is no way to encounter God's blessings with unfaithfulness.

6. Covenant tithers. - Mal. 3:10

If you are not a tither, things will get tighter.

7. The liberal souls. - Prov. 11:25

God's side is the ever-winning side and it is the ever-laughing side.

*Dangers of Not Being on God's Side

1. It blocks access to wisdom.

2. It causes faith to fail. - 1 Tim.1:19

“Peter Obi advises the Federal Government to decrease governance expenses by 60%, emphasizing that this should not involve reducing travel entourages.”

Obi suggests a comprehensive approach, calling for a revision of the 2024 budget to eliminate all wasteful and unnecessary expenditures. He asserts that a more substantial impact on the economy would be achieved through a 60% reduction in the total cost of governance at the federal level. This comprehensive reduction, according to Obi, should encompass both overseas trips and the size of delegations.

“Shaibu and former minister criticize Obaseki as another contender steps back in favor of Ighodalo.”

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday, Shaibu said he regretted supporting Obaseki’s second-term bid in 2020 when Obaseki had a battle with his predecessor and then political godfather, Adams Oshiomhole, who vowed he would not be reelected for a second term.

Shaibu said, “Actually, I was persuaded and there was no protest. I actually didn’t want to be a deputy governor. I was very comfortable in the House of Representatives. It took almost one month to get me to accept to be the deputy governor of Edo State.

Throughout scripture God loves to speak through pictures, stories, and prophetic symbolism as these things communicate so clearly to our hearts, often by-passing our "cerebral" analytical selves.
