MAZEMENT A is a feeling of great surprise or wonder; it is the feeling that accompanies something that is extremely surprising and shocking. When that feeling of surprise comes from the acts of God or with the assistance from God, it is referred to as Divine amazement.

God Himself is amazing. His person, nature and deeds are just too amazing. God also specialises in turning other personalities into amazing objects. In John 9:1-38, Jesus turned the life of a man into huge amazement. The man was over 40 years and had been born blind. In Jewish traditional belief and to some extent even in medicine; an ailment that occurs post-birth still stand a chance to be corrected, but when an ailment like blindness, deafness, dumbness and lameness was already there before birth; the Jews believed that it is irreversible, and it's largely so in medicine also.When this man came in contact with Jesus, he was taken back to Eden for re-creation; Jesus anointed his eyes with mud and asked him to go and wash in Siloam pool. He came back seeing with brand new eyes!The occurrence was so shocking to the Jews and their leaders who have not seen anything like that happened before (John 9:18). The man had to explain himself over and over again, the Pharisees were so amazed that the act actually divided them (John 9:16). The man was so amazed himself, but did not let the Sahendrin council to convince him that Jesus was a false prophet. His parents were also shocked, they however played safe by telling anyone that asked them how it happened to speak to their son directly. Eventually, this amazing act gave glory to God as Jesus rightly has said.In this month of June, God will do amazing works in us and through us. These acts will be surprising to us, to our relations and especially our onlookers. Severally, people will ask us how it happened. We would only be able to say, "It happened so that God might glorify His name". May that be the testimony for us all in Jesus name.

ANY M times God makes promises years before He intends for them to happen. For example, Jesus coming was promised by God as far back as the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15) and subsequently by the Prophets (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; etc.). The annunciation proper was later made to Mary

by Angel Gabriel when God was ready to fulfil His plan (Lk. 1:26-38). As we were rounding up 2015, God began to tell me what He will do for us in 2016. Some of the things He said:- I have told you before that you will be a City that cannot be hidden; I will begin to fulfil this promise to you from 2016.

FOR INDIVIDUALS1 Some families will trace the beginning of their generational blessings to this year.2. Some will receive help from unexpected sources.3. Grateful hearts will have more causes to be grateful4. For many, the pendulum of life will generally be on the upward swing5. A chosen few will receive blessings so large they can hardly contain them

FOR NIGERIA1. Things are likely to get tougher, before they get better, but things will definitely get better before the year ends.2. What He started last year, He will finish this year, provided we don’t rejoice too soon.

INTERNATIONAL1. Natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, are likely to get progressively worse, until governments realize that these are part of divine judgement against those who have passed unholy laws. If governments will repent of disdaining Christ and His church, He will help them win the fight against terrorism.2. A major war will be averted this year3. A new sexually transmitted diseases will surface.

VERYTHING E done by God, is amazing, Everything God is doing is amazing and everything God will do will be amazing because no man can do such, therefore it is my belief that God will do amazing

things in your life this month in Jesus name.

What then is the word of God -the word of God is God personified. Genesis chapter 1- God created the world through the spoken word. He said let it be and things came into being.

God inspected, assessed and approved or concord with word He sent to accomplished. He who has a perfect judgement confirmed shout FIVE times that it was God and the six times it was very GOOD.

God’s word is so intelligent that it never made a mistake, it does exactly what God asked him to do. in fact, it cannot return back to God giving excuse and complaining. psalm 33:9 “for he spoke and it was done, he commanded and at steadfast”

God’s word is trustworthy enough that God has magnified the word above his name God’s word is powerful enough to go to everywhere, it can penetrate to the bone, intersecting even the joints and bone marrow.

Where the word of a king is, there is power. The word is powerful and strong enough to produce result Isaiah 55So shall my word go forth, it shall not return unto me void- But it shall accomplish produce, succeed and make effect it must prosper, advances and and make effect in what he pleases.

His word is quick and sharp- Eph 6:7 it means it is not dull, slow or comes too

By Elder Jacob ODAUDU

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.Take my moments and my days; Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love.Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King.Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold.Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine.Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store.Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee.

late. Always right on time that is why God says he is under pressure to hasten it to perform Jeri 1:12There are so many amazing things God did in the bible for our example, for lack of time let us examine God.

THE CROSSING OF THE SEA Exodus 14:15-16God knows the way through which he asked his children to go through- he knows that the Red Sea is there yet he asked them to go. The Egyptian horses and chariots of Egypt chased them from the back, according to theologian – both side of left and right are in mountable hills. To their front, a big sea. No way of escape. At a moment like this people would usually grumble but Moses looked up unto God and a word from God *(lift thou up thy rod and stretch out thine hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go on dry land) and Moses obeyed, did as God commanded, that the children of Israel were saved. The lord overthrew the Egyptians in the mist of the sea

Today according to the word of God, the Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more. God shall make a way for you in Jesus name and your enemies shall be fooled into delusion and be swallowed up by the waters in Jesus name

Mathew 17:27- Jesus was to be embarrassed with payment of tax. He sent his word by asking the disciples to go get fish “the first fish you catch, open its mouth and you will find a shekel, large silver corn, take it and pay the tax for both of us”

The amazing question is does fish eat silver? Why should that particular fish carry the coin around, why should that particular fish be the first? At the name of Jesus every issue that had defined solution, every problem that is meant to embarrass and humiliate you ,the carrier of your solution emerges today in Jesus name.

The case of Jesus and the fishermen- after they toiled all night, caught nothing, retired and given up, Jesus appearedAt your word- said Peter; the fishermen cast their net and their result was enormous. The amazing thing where were the fish all night all of a sudden they had to obey Gods word. May what you have been looking for answer Gods word in Jesus name

Now how do we activate the divine amazement through his word. Among many we can activate the divine amazement is by FAITH and prayer
