Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: A TOUCH OF HEAVEN
Text: Read: Hebrews 11:13-16
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 43-44; Ps. 11

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Phil. 3:20).

Abraham realized God had a greater plan for his life; so he shifted his focus from the world around him to the world that was yet to come.
The same should be true of us. The trials we face in this earthly life cannot compare to the glory that one day will be ours. But we can also have a taste of heaven here on earth by surrendering our lives totally to God and enjoying His love and peace. Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we are adopted into the family of God. Our names are not only written in the Lamb's Book of Life, they also are recorded in the eternal records of God's Kingdom.
With our citizenship not tied to this present physical world alone, we can live with a sense of eternal hope for the future. Those who honour God by living in obedience and submission to His will; who live as “strangers and pilgrims” on this earth (1 Pet. 2:11) and who desire and pursue a better country will be honoured by God. He will not be ashamed to acknowledge them as His very own children, for He has prepared a city for them. God has prepared the same city for you. Because Jesus Christ has saved you from your sins, you can enjoy a touch of heaven on earth as you worship and live your life for Him each day.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of salvation unto us. Teach us to know more about You and enable us to serve You with all our heart and live in Your grace daily, we pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs. The awards are likely to be ‘handed out’ in a series of scathing tweets from Mr Trump, and it is unclear whether he will present winners with any sort of booby prize. He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...

FEBRUARY 01, 2019 Thank God its Friday! Tate joined me in my car as I drove to work. I dropped him off at 7up bus stop, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was heading for his company headquarters at Ajao Estate. I got to work early enough. Not very comfortable because I did not exactly carry out my duties properly yesterday. I eventually defended my activities in the meeting presided by the MD. I left with Dare in our separate cars for Iyare Transport Company to Waybill Oxide pigments heading for Benin to Golden Julirose. Joined the the brethren who visited the Old People's Home at the location. We sang and prayed with the old people and rounded up at 6pm. I left with Tobi to pick up Tate at Itamaga and drop off Tobi at her residence in Itamaga. Drove home with Tate. Hung about at B-Lounge with Tate later in the night. Took 2 bottles of beer and a plate of pepper soup each. Bought a plate of pepper soup as 'take away' for Ify.
