Only BELIEVE…….Only BELIEVE
John 14:1-6 (KJV) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. For the one who finds it difficult to believe in God or His Words. This instruction as underscored by the scripture above is both unrealistic and somewhat unattainable in a world full of challenges and chaos. How can I not be troubled when everything around me seems and are falling apart? People around me die suddenly and painful events are constantly happening around…
You Are God’s Responsibility
John 10:29 (KJV) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. Often in life we are faced with life challenges and many at times, we fear the obvious but as human as it is to know that there are things naturally that may or could happen. Our Faith is anchored on Him who is greater than all our fears. We must understand the basis of…
Abide IN Him & Be Fruitful
John 15:5 (KJV) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The picture painted here is of dependency and partnership. Christ introduces us the concept and principle of our fruitfulness in life. He established that the we must stay connected and dependent on Him for our fruitfulness. The Father is the one who keeps us in shape through the…
We HARVEST what we SOW!
Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. God deals with us very fairly. We have the opportunity to determine the outcome of our lives and destiny by the choices we make. The above scripture underscores the importance of knowing that you cannot receive back but what you have invested or sown. It establishes that God cannot be mocked. In other words, God whom we deal with is…
Walking by FAITH
Matthew 17:20 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. We are challenged daily and we face oppositions from the enemy on daily basis. Life itself brings to us things we never bargained for, and so many times we come…
God Defends the Righteous
Proverbs 28:18 (KJV) Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. There are many things that are a defense for those who live by them. God provides us with sound information as to what we can do to better our lives here on earth. We are not left without a witness as to what God expects of us and how we ought to live our lives for our own benefits.…
Peace: Our Security!
Philippians 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The context of the above scripture underscores the importance of Prayers of Thanksgiving as well as the need for us to be anxious of NOTHING. It becomes imperative that we see the connection between prayer, thankfulness and peace. Peace which is not the absence of trouble but the contentment of the soul and spirit in the mist of challenges…
Submission is Pathway to Grace & Strength
James 4:7 (KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The pathway to victory is very obvious in the Bible. We are not left to figure it out for ourselves. God speaks plainly and precisely about how to have victory over Satan and the works of darkness. Submit yourselves unto God. This is one of the keys to victorious living and Grace in the Kingdom. Submission is a word many do not like but…
God: Our Preserver
Psalm 36:6 (KJV) Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord , thou preservest man and beast. The promises of God are tied to His nature and we receive them by faith. When God makes a promise, it carries His seal of authority. Therefore, it cannot fail. We must begin to see Gods promise as an anchor for our souls. They renew and refresh us in our journey of life. The above scripture…
Why God Inspired THE BIBLE?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The source of information is very critical because if the source is falsehood, then decisions made by such information will lead to negative consequences and if the source is Truth, then actions and decisions taken will be positive and…
Serving the Lord is a “Daily Choice”!
Joshua 24:15 (KJV) And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. The call to serving God is not a Forced One. It is an individual choice and it is a willing one.…
We Are Heirs of God In Christ
Galatians 4:7 (KJV) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Inheritance is tied to Sonship, Relationship, Position, and Affiliation. However, of all these factors that grantees inheritance none is more powerful than being an “Heir”. Notice that for us, there has been a change of Status. We are no longer servants. In this context, a servant is one who does not have rights or privileges. He…
