Gen 31:1-3 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

Gen 31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;

Gen 31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

Gen 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS

37. Father I appreciate for your faithfulness in all my years and endeavors.

WHAT IS THIS? THE POWER OF IGNORANCE – THE STORY OF HELEN THE MAID

By

Evangelist Bee

I has  spent over  twenty  four hours already  on different airplanes. I had criss-crossed  three different continents. I was travelling on the the lap between Dubai-Frankfurt and I decided to study and thereafter prepare for my subsequent meetings. The Lord began to speak to me not about the power of what we know  but the power of what we don’t know  - ignorance. Ignorance has power. Ignorance  can kill. Ignorance is a vehicle of pain  and sometimes even the perquisite to death if it thrives for too long.

As I was meditating on this, I remember the story of a beautiful girl  that walked into the live of my family some 13 years ago. I still remember it like it

AWESOME STORY - AUTHORED BY KEN GAUB

At the time I was driving on 1-75 near Dayton , Ohio , with my wife and children. We turned off the highway for a rest and refreshment stop. My wife, Barbara, and children went into the restaurant. I suddenly felt the need to stretch my legs, so waved them off ahead saying I’d join them later.

I bought a soft drink, and as I walked toward a Dairy Queen, feelings of self pity enshrouded my mind. I loved the Lord and my ministry, but I felt drained, burdened. My cup was empty.

Suddenly, the impatient ringing of a telephone nearby jarred me out of my doldrums. It was coming from a phone booth at a service station on the corner. Wasn’t anyone going to answer the phone? Noise from the traffic flowing through the busy intersection must have drowned out the sound because the service station attendant continued looking after his customers, oblivious to the incessant ringing.

“Why doesn’t somebody answer that phone?” I muttered. I began reasoning. It may be important. What if it’s an emergency? Curiosity overcame my indifference. I stepped inside the booth and picked up the phone.

WHAT IS THIS? LEARNING FROM DEATH AND ITS POWER!

The casket was being wheeled to the final resting place as I heard the song again in my native tongue –

‘A o pade leti odo, odo didan odo didan na, pelu awon mimo leba odo ...” 

This is a song that is very common in funeral services in my native community. I later got the English version from a covenant friend as " Shall We Gather at the River ". It talks about the hope of meeting at the other side of death. When people sing it, very few eyes remain dry! Sing it in any other context and everyone will become sober instantly. A lot of people  want to go to Heaven but no one wants to die. I attended  the  burial of a friend’s Dad and I learnt some very salient lessons which I would like to share. They nudge me. The exhort me. They encourage me. Burials make you see through yourself. They make you ask questions no one else can ask you and get same answers. The things I was reminded at the burial are stated  below:

1.  PUT THE END IN MIND

I learnt a long time ago from Steven Covey Original classic,“ 7 principles of highly Effective People” that the best way to set your goals is to put your end in mind. What would you want people to say at your funeral. I have taught it in many of my goal setting  classes to singles and adults. If you want to set goals that will drive you  for a long time, go to a funeral service with a  pen and paper and ask – “ if I was the one  in the Casket, who will people say that I am? what will people say that I did? For who will they say I did all I did? “ Whatever answers that comes from the  depth of your heart should form the fundamentals of your aspirations and goals !Understanding the end makes the present worth the  while.

Heb 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
