AME F can be defined as the state of being known or recognised by many people because of one's achievements, skills, talents, etc. It can also mean to be of good repute, in favour, well regarded or highly esteemed in life.

It is good to be famous in what one does as this will increase one's recognition in their chosen field; make one to be easily accepted everywhere; make people to give heed to what one has to say; make one to have easy followership; increase the influence or impact one possesses over their area of operation and also bring honour to one's mentor.Interestingly, God wants His children's fame to spread. Jesus taught His disciples and even the multitude to have the mentality of been famous and renown for good (as salt and light), so that the world will know about their Father who is in Heaven and as such will be able to give the glory due to His name (Mathew 5:13-16).It wasn't surprising therefore that Jesus fame did spread in His lifetime. The teachings and the deeds of Jesus made His fame to spread quickly throughout His country, so that He was able to make great impact in just 3 1/2 years of ministry! (Mark 1:21-28; Luke 4:14-15). Many people thus believed that He came from God and gave due glory to God - His Father.A very powerful and practical way of evangelising for God is for the fame of we His children to spread. The extent of the coverage of our fame will directly aid the extent of the knowledge of God. So from this month of February and beyond, God wants our fame to spread throughout our region. He wants us to rely on His Spirit to help us and He wants us to make ourselves more 'visible in good deeds and words' where we are. May God increase our recognition as individuals and as a body 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:

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.

In my year 3 of high school, we were taught in Biology that one of the characteristics of living things is growth. There was a slogan we memorized then called MR NIGER D. Which means: Movement, Respiration, Nutrition, Irritability, Growth, Excretion, Reproduction and Death?

This is true as one of the inherent power that God gave to Mankind as a living being is to grow. God had only once created a fully grown man and woman (Adam and Eve); every human after them must grow overtime.

That is why Jesus, who is God, but when He came as the Son of Man had to be born as a baby, and had to grow as we do.Luke 2:40 - And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.Luke 2:51-52 - And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Jesus grew in stature, i.e. physically: height, build, weight, muscles, etc. Otherwise, His earthly parents would have been worried. - May God make you to grow to your desired stature in Jesus name.- There is someone here saying, if only I can grow this much, God says, "It is done".Jesus grew in strength, in wisdom, in favour and in grace. Even though He was God incarnate, He needed to grow in all these areas. - May you grow in strength, wisdom, favour with God and Man, and in grace in Jesus name.Why do we need to grow? One will not be able to do certain things you ought to do if one does not grow. I remember when my parents first took me to register for Primary

School. I was given three tests, two academic which I passed, one physical which I failed because I had not grown enough, I had to sit at home for one year because of that. If not that I jumped classes later on, that would have slowed me down academically.- Your growth will not be stagnated in Jesus name.One will be cheated, even by younger folks. I remember also in my High School, because my stature was small, my mates would just slap me on the head and would run away, the funniest part is that even girls also were involved. However, during the long vacation of my third year, I grew taller than those that used to touch my head.- May you receive the power to grow higher than anything that had undermined your person in Jesus name. Say after me:- I refuse to remain stagnant.- I will grow perpetually in life.- My coast will be greatly enlarged.- I will occupy new territories.- I will take over more grounds.In life it can be tempting to cut corners in order to achieve growth. If one considers worldly people as they rise, one might be tempted to copy them. A good father's however admonished his son in Proverb 4:14-18 not to follow evil gangs to seek bread and wine, but should choose to be righteous, because God will make the path of the righteous to shine brighter and brighter unto their full day. - May your path progressive shine- May your glory continually rise- May God increase your bread in storage- May God bless you with more wine - May God multiply your barrel of oil There are people in the scriptures that their glory grew from lower levels to higher levels. David was one of such.In I Sam. 16:1-13, God instructed Samuel to anoint David as King in front of his older siblings. Though it was secretly done, his brothers knew that levels had changed. He used to be number eight, but now far in front...- There is a shift in the spiritual realm for someone right now. You used to be at the rear, you are now promoted to the front. I don't know how long it might take to manifest in the physical, the power of God has set your elevation in motion. David was anointed at 17years; the next 13years was very challenging for him. However at the age of 30, he was crowned as King in Hebron over Judah. Seven years later, he was crowned as the King over the whole of Israel.

- God says I should tell someone, "I will widen your domain".- I want you to look around. Seated here in few years from now are leaders of region and leader of nation. I'm not sure what is the age of that person now; but it will manifest in the process of time.
