HAPPY NEW MONTH. Welcome to April

                               Welcome to April.
April is the fourth month of the year in our modern day Gregorian calendar.

Naming April - Aphrodite’s Month
April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and its predecessor, the Julian calendar.  Its name is derived from the latin word aperit, which means to open. It is considered that April is the month of the growing season and when trees and flowers begin to “open”. It is also believed that the month’s name is named after the Greek goddess, Aphrodite (Aphros).

Old English - April or Aprilis
Latin name - Aprilis or Aperit - to open
Greek - Aphro - short for Aphrodite

History of April
April was originally the second month of the year in early versions of the Roman calendar and consisted of 30 days. It became the fourth month consisting of only 29 days when January was designated the first month of the year around 450 BCE. The month became 30 days long again when Julius Caesar reformed the calendar.

Fourth Month
April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and consists of 30 days. It is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall (autumn) in the Southern hemisphere.

April starts on the same day of the week as July and ends on the same day of the week as December in common years. During leap years, April starts on the same day of the week as January.

Birth Flower and Stone
April’s birth flower is the daisy and sweet pea.

The birthstone for April is the diamond which symbolizes innocence.

POWER TO NAME A THING

                          Power To Name A Thing

Names reveal identity and point toward purpose. And God said let there be, let there be, and let there be. If you only knew God from reading Genesis Chapter One, you would conclude that he is a voice with creative power. God needed to train Adam in the power of words.

THE TRUE MEANING AND POWER OF HOSANNA

THE TRUE MEANING AND POWER OF HOSANNA

Have you ever found yourself walking through the house singing, Hosanna. Hosanna. Hosanna in the highest? If you are like me, you may have even found yourself randomly saying “hosanna!,” though not really sure what you are saying or from where you heard it.

Whether you have listened or sang along, read it, or spoken it, this is a very powerful exclamation.
Have you ever thought about what the name of Jesus as "Hosanna" actually means?

If you have never heard the term “hosanna” before, no worries. You are in the right place. As we dive into the meaning and where it can be found in the Word, we can be more intentional about using it. I believe this intention will lead our prayer and worship time into a deeper connection.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PAINS

       

HOW TO DEAL WITH PAINS

There is a lot of pains in Plateau, Northern Nigeria, Nigeria, Africa, America and on the globe. In the last ten years, Nigerians and Africans have lived under great stress, deep division, nuclear threat, terroristic intimidation, political unrest, Banditry, Kidnapping, gender confusion, multiple crises, endless tragedies, mass shootings, mass killings, arm rubbery and continual revelations of sexual harassment and unethical behaviour.

While some members of older generations hang their heads in discouragement, some members of the younger generations raise their fists in defiance. At times, some of the media serves as the wind that fans the flames of all generations. Pain is piled upon pain and sooner or later it either oozes out slowly or flows out swiftly.

With the Backdrop

Today I write with the backdrop of the Irigwe, Miango of BASSA LGA of Plateau State Wanton distruction of Farm lands (crops) Raising down of hundreds of houses and the killing of unspecified innocent people. We see this pain revealed through crying, shock, and anger. Additionally, I have to deal with my own pain as I watch our nation hurt so deeply. Many times, tears fill my eyes for our region and  nation.

4 Actions Nigeria Can Take with Our Pain

1. Ask yourself the tough question: What is happening with me right now?
Rather than gaze at others and their pain, look inward and ask yourself what is happening within you. Identify your own personal pain:

Am I scared?
Am I angry?
Am I disappointed?
Am I worried?
Am I fearful?
Be honest with yourself. Discover what is happening within you. This is the first step to understanding and resolving your feelings.

2. Confess you want Jesus Christ to be #1 in your life.
Beginning with Jesus is beginning with the Truth. I am speaking about the Truth of God’s Word, the Bible.  Recognize that when the Bible speaks, Jesus speaks. He is speaking these real words to all of us.

Jesus is compassionate: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
Jesus is calling: “Come to Me.” Matthew 11:28
Jesus is comforting: “…all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Jesus is commanding: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19
3. Permit Jesus Christ to minister to your personal pain.
When you permit Jesus Christ to minister to your personal pain, see what occurs.

Peace replaces fear.
Freedom replaces bondage.
Calm replaces stress.
Hope replaces despair.
Joy replaces sorrow.
I am thankful that Jesus ministers to our personal pain like no one else.

4. Place confidence in a trusted person.
Everyone needs a safe person to share your feelings with; what I call a true and trusted friend. This trusted person could be:

Your spouse
Your teacher
Your coach
Your minister
Your friend
Your mom or dad, or both of your parents

This person receives you for who you are 

and does not judge you or anything you say. Therefore, place confidence in a trusted person.

A Final Consideration

When we handle our pain in the proper way, God frees us from our own negativity and destruction. This is why we need the Lord.

Jesus is still the answer for our lives today.

Hallelujah! hallelujah!! hallelujah!!!

May the God of all comfort, comfort our people and nation in Jesus Name. Amen

PRAYING OUT THE MYSTERIES OF GOD

Praying Out the Mysteries of God

The mysteries of the Kingdom of God belong to you. These mysteries are unlocked by the Holy Spirit during prayer. Not only are mysteries spiritual revelations of the Word of God we call rhema, but also revealed mysteries of your Kingdom walk with Christ guided by the Holy Spirit. In the Bible, there are two Greek words rhema and logos. Both these Greek words translate as word in the English language. Rhema is revelatory, and logos is written. (Black ink on white paper.) This means it’s possible to read the text of Scripture and receive a revelation as to what that word means to you personally. Jesus said, “It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words (rhema) that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life” (John 6:63 ASV). To understand these mysteries requires prayer. First, let’s understand Christ taught the masses of people different than his Disciples. To the masses, he taught in parables, but to His Disciples, he was more direct.  This puzzled his Disciples, and they asked him to explain why the parables. A Biblical parable is a story that teaches a spiritual principle. Christ said, “This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because having the power of seeing, they do not see; and having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand” (Matthew 13:13 AMP). In other words, these people are listening, but they don’t get it. Then He answered his Disciples in a most direct way, “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them, it is not given” (Matthew 13:11). This should really encourage you. The mysteries of the Kingdom of God belong to you. As already said, the mysteries of the Kingdom of God unlock God’s plan for your life. These mysteries are revealed to you through prayer by the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul taught an amazing truth about prayer. One day he was teaching about praying in other tongues. He wrote, “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit, he speaketh mysteries” (1 Corinthians 14:2). Did you get that? He wrote, “In the spirit he speaketh mysteries.” Prayer warriors understand the importance of the Holy Spirit in prayer. “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (prayer weaknesses): for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself (himself) maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). The bottom line is when you pray in other tongues, your spirit, in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, is praying out the mysteries of God. Said another way, praying out the plan of God for your future. Your partner
