Song Robbers or What???? | Nathaniel BASSEY

When 'gospel singers and musicians' steal the music and songs of others just to 'make it', I really begin to wonder if some gospel musicians are even saved to begin with.

A friend of mine sent me a message that really broke my heart. Please read.

"Hello Nath, somebody has released one of Preye's songs. One of the two she worked on with Emmanuel. I have the person's contact details. Apparently, he used to come to our church. After hearing the song he swapped churches then went to record. His video is on Silverbird TV Port harcourt. What do you think I can do?"

A few months ago, a 'music minister in the same town, recorded one of our songs, shot a video, all without permission, and then calls on the day of release to inform me.

Do we know God at all? Is this thing about having a hit by all means?

I forgave the other guy and decided he could go ahead, but sometimes folks need to know things have to be done in order and in truth.

Please if you are a music minister and have such tendencies, STOP IT!

Don't build your ministry and life on lies and deceit. Seek God, and He'll show you your place and portion.

Faith Food Devotional - In All Realms | November 12, 2013‏

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John 2).

The Lord Himself taught me about faith for finances many years ago. I was in the field ministry then, and I had been fasting and praying several days concerning a severe shortage of finances. The Lord spoke to me, saying, "Your trouble is you aren't practicing what you preach. You preach faith, but you don't practice it."

I protested, "Why, Lord, I do!"

"Oh, you practice faith when it comes to healing, and that is commendable," He said. "You've used your faith for salvation, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and healing. But faith is the same in every realm. If you needed healing, you would claim it by faith and publicly announce you were healed. You must do the same thing with finances.

"I'll tell you what to do: First, never pray about money - that is, in the sense you have been praying. What you need is on earth. I'm not going to rain money down from Heaven. It would be counterfeit, and I'm not a counterfeiter. What you need is down there. I made the earth and everything in it. And I didn't make it for the devil and his crowd. Claim whatever you need. Just say, 'Satan, take your hands off of my money.' Because Satan is the one keeping it from you, not Me."

Confession: Jesus has redeemed me from the hand of the enemy. And in the Name of Jesus, I have authority to claim what God has provided.

Your Words and Your Life by Joyce Meyer

I am sure you have heard someone say, “You are going to eat those words.”  It may sound like a mere phrase to us, but in reality we do eat our words. What we say not only affects others, but it also affects us.

Words are wonderful when used in a proper way. They can encourage, edify and give confidence to the hearer. A right word spoken at the right time can actually be life-changing. (See Proverbs 15:23.)

We can literally increase our own joy by speaking right words. We can also upset ourselves by talking unnecessarily about our problems or things that have hurt us in relationships.

Not too long ago I had a disappointing situation take place with someone I considered to be a close friend. I noticed that each time I talked about it, I would have a difficult time getting it off of my mind for the remainder of the day. I finally realized that if I wanted to get over it, I was going to have to stop mentally and verbally going over it again and again. People kept asking me about the situation out of genuine concern, but I ultimately realized that I had to answer, “It is better for me if I just don’t talk about it.”

What Happens When We Speak?

The words that come out of our mouth go into our own ears as well as other people’s, and then they drop down into our soul where they give us either joy or sadness, peace or upset, depending on the types of words we have spoken.

“When we understand the power of words and realize that we can choose what we think and speak, our lives can be transformed. ”

God desires that our spirit be light and free so it can function properly, not heavy and oppressed. We can learn to choose our thoughts, to resist wrong ones and think on good, healthy, and right ones. I have often said, “Where the mind goes, the man follows.” And it could also be said that where the mind goes, the mouth follows!

When we understand the power of words and realize that we can choose what we think and speak, our lives can be transformed.

Plan to Say Something Positive

God has given His children a new nature, and we are taught to daily renew our mind and attitude. Having a positive outlook on life and speaking positive words based on God’s Word is one of the most wholesome things we can do.

When you get up in the morning, if there is something you need to attend to that day that you’re not looking forward to, you can say, “I dread this day,” or you can say, “God will give me strength today to do whatever I need to do and to do it with joy.” Which of these two statements do you think would better prepare you for the day?

As we have seen, we eat our words, and we can rightfully say that they are food for our souls. Anyone who wants to be healthy is careful to choose quality food that will provide good nutrition. If we want to be healthy in our soul and spirit, we should also choose to take in words that will build us up and increase our peace and joy.

Draw Attention to the Positive

I believe there are many good things happening in the world and probably there is more good than bad. But the evil is magnified in a way that often seems overwhelming. Turn on any news station or buy any newspaper or news magazine and you will find it filled with reports of murder, theft, wars, famine and all kinds of horribly tragic events.

We want to be well informed of what is going on, but to talk about world problems excessively or with no purpose merely creates a gloomy atmosphere that nobody will enjoy.

I recently walked into a room and heard a group of people talking about several businesses that had recently filed bankruptcy. Then they mentioned two others that they had heard were going to file bankruptcy. I felt a gloom hanging in the atmosphere so I said, “Well, God is not bankrupt and He is on our side.” Everyone agreed with me and immediately, the atmosphere changed. 

I am not suggesting at all that we deny reality, but we can choose what we talk about. Instead of feeding ourselves a steady diet of “bad news,” we should choose to read, watch and talk about good things.

What Are You Talking About?

We talk a lot and quite often pay no attention to what we are saying, let alone think seriously about the impact of our words.

If we are honest with ourselves, we may find that some of our bad moods are directly linked to our conversation. Even some of our problems can be linked to bad choices we make about what we say.

I want to encourage you to take some time and think about the types of things you usually talk about. What kind of conversation do you enjoy and participate in?

How to Get More Joy Out of Life

Your words may not be the cause all of your problems, but they can cause a lot of them and they should be given a good deal of consideration when we are looking for answers to the problems we encounter in life.

We all have challenges in life, but we can make them better or worse by the way we talk about them. I don’t believe we can change all of our circumstances into pleasant ones by making positive confessions, but I do believe many of them will change according to God’s will. I simply want to teach you to be in agreement with God and learn to say what He says. 

One thing is for sure, speaking negatively could hurt you and speaking positively never will, so why not go with the positive and see what kind of results you get?

GOD SEEKERS OF THE ELEVENTH HOUR | NOVEMBER 2013

²¹ So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. ²² And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. ²³ And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. ²⁴ And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day...²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me...²⁸ And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed... And he blessed him there. ³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

-              Genesis 32:21-30 {KJV}

It is interesting to note that the first mention of “eleven” in Scripture was in the passage above and that was before Jacob was left alone to wrestle until he received a change of name, a blessing and consequently, favour in the sight of his brother, Esau.

In reference to Jacob, it is written;

⁶ This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]!

-              Psalm 24:6 {AMP}

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.

-              Isaiah 45:19 {NIV}

Those who Seek His Face, don’t lose out on the benefits of His Hands.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

-              Hebrews 11:6 {KJV}

May it be that as you begin a lifelong quest to Seek His Face this NOvember, NOmember of your family is left out as the Reward of Diligent SEEKERS comes your way.

⁶ Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

-              Isaiah 55:6 {KJV}

⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.

-              Psalm 32:6 {NIV}

¹⁴ In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

-              Isaiah 54:14 {KJV}

May it be that as you “clock in hours” to Seek His Face in the “Kairos” moments of this “Eleventh Hour”, you and all yours will be protected, preserved and provided for.

THIS is 2013
