JUSTIFY in religion means "To declare innocent; guiltless; absolve or acquit". Glorified in the same vein means "To give glory; honour; or high praise to; exalt". Justified to be glorified would therefore mean "The declaration of innocency upon a life for the purpose of glorification; the proclamation of not guilty upon an

individual for them to be exalted; or the acquittal of someone from charges levied against them in order to bring them into a position of honour".The Bible says that sin is a reproach to any people; however righteousness does exalt nations (Prov. 14:34). To be truly exalted or glorified in life therefore, one needs to have been justified before. Sad to say that some Christians remain in a state of dishonour by their own making, by living in ignorance, even though they have been justified to be glorified (Prov. 29:18).God however wants His children to live a life of honour and glory as this in turn will bring glory and honour to Him in the eyes of men (Philippians 2:15-26; 3 John 2). That is why in Rom. 8:28-30, we have a supposed sequence of the life trail of a believer, which ours should indeed follow:That whatever happens, all things must work together for good eventually to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. This is because God already foreknew both the person and their circumstances and had equally predestined how things should favour the believer. At a later stage in such person's life, they are called by God to go through certain experiences, if they are faithful and became justified in their calling, then their glorification must definitely follow. Abraham for example was foreknown by God. The land of Canaan was polluted with much idolatry, God saw the heart of Abraham and so handpicked him from idolatry somewhere else to raise a special generation replacing those already in Canaan. Having conformed to the image of Christ through obedience and humility when he was called, Abraham received justification and therefore was glorified. In this month of March and beyond, God wants us to take our calling and justification very seriously, in doing so; our glorification will be definite and huge.

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).

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.

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. - Your light shall no longer be hidden anymore.- This will be your year of exclamations of wonders that will be very audible and well perceived.- Your name shall begin to ring pleasing bells where it matters from now on. - You have been doing your assignment quietly, but I will noise your fame abroad from this year.- As nine symbolizes finality of numbers, my final comment to you at this stage is that I am pleased with you.- You have been weighed and found just. In tough and easy times, you have stood firm. Therefore, I will open the doors of the

world to you.- You have passed the test of faithfulness after nine years of steadfastness. Now it's your time to be revealed and shown forth.- The Angel of my presence will introduce you to people you will never have been able to speak to.I am particularly expectant for what God has in store for us in 2016, I am very persuaded that it shall be our most successful and impactful year yet in our

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN

TEXT: 1 Samuel 2:6-9 .HIS T year is our year of Spreading, so I pray for you that God will grant you a divine lifting that will spread your fame in Jesus name, Amen.

The Bible Text 1 Samuel 2:6-9 is the account o Hannah, when she was desperately in need of a Child. She had been molested, abused by the other wife Peninnah. The day came that it dawned on her, she needed and wanted to be lifted amongst the barren. She remembered the Lord and cried unto him. The Lord answered her, and gave her a gift of an extra ordinary Son “Samuel” – the prophet we read about today. No one could have given her. Our God is a mighty God and He is mighty to save. Whatever situation you find yourself, The Almighty is alive and would save you.Another example of divine lifting is the account in 2 Samuel 9:1-13. It is the story of Mephibosheth, Jonathan, David and Saul. The whole story detailed

DIVINE LIFTINGContinued from Page 2how King Saul and his son died at war , Mephibosheth who could have been the next heir got lame at age 5 and was taken away ; forgotten during the war crises.

Young David was made King but on one fateful day, David remembered that his friend Jonathan had a son. He asked if there was anyone left in the lineage of Saul and Jonathan, for the sake of Jonathan; he would bless such a person. Mephibosheth was summoned; all that belonged to him was given back to Him. Mephibosheth had been forgotten but his day of divine lifting came, all wasted years were restored and his fame spreads. Mephibosheth had referred himself to a dead dog that has no value. Some Christians are living like that today but I declare today as your day of lifting. The Lord will remember you henceforth and lift you up.Divine lifting is synonymous to supernatural acts of God in one’s life. Divine lifting is God’s promotion, when God promotes you no man can demote you. Divine lifting is appositive change in the life of a man. With divine lifting; an ordinary man is made great and will sit with honorable men. Divine lifting brings people from dust to the throne. When God decides to visit you all atmosphere will change for you.

Another example is our father in the Lord, Daddy G. O. He was lifted from an ordinary person to somebody to be set aside for glory; even his doctorate could not give him such glory.

Esther 2 gives account of Esther a slave girl in a foreign land made Queen. The wife of the King was put in a position where she had to disobey; the subordinates turned the heart of King to choose another wife. Amongst all the maidens Esther was favored and chosen. Another example is Mordecai; who happened to be Esther’s’ Uncle. The Bible records that the King was unable to sleep, restless; he began to open the books and read about how Mordecai saved the Kings life. The incident had happened a long time ago but at the appropriate time Mordecai was remembered and lifted up. I employ today not to lose hope, as long as there is life, there is hope. Be consistent, committed and remember that the Lord liveth.

Genesis 1:57 confirms the life of Joseph. He went through a lot of diversities, from been sold by his brothers, to a slave, to be accused of fornication, thrown into prison and forgotten. At the Prison Joseph met some of the Kings attendant interpreted their dreams and once they were free; they forgot all about Joseph. Well, Joseph was forgotten not because the Kings staffs were ungrateful but because it was not yet time.
