God has better plans for you.
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. When we read the Bible without historical context, we often don’t appreciate the relevance and importance of the text. Jeremiah’s prophetic ministry covered from the siege of Jerusalem to its fall and captivity. So as of the time this chapter is being written, the fall and captivity has taken place. The…
God Rewards Motive and Attitude
Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV) 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Motive and Attitude are two central elements upon which God judges and rewards all that we do. The truth is that God sees the heart and knows the very unformed thoughts of our heart and when it comes to serving God. Do anything…
Be Ye Imitators of God
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you (Philippians 4:9 KJV). Our walk with God is an exemplary one. We are called to be imitators of God and to daily apply what we have learned. It is this application that brings about fulfillment and joy in our lives. Paul here challenged the church at Philippa to put into practice what they have learned…
The Holy Spirit Empowers Us
Acts 1:8 King James Version (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. God is both purposeful and intentionally in His approach to all He does. We are to adopt same in our lives and families, so that we can accomplish the destiny to which God has called…
Real Peace is GOD’S Peace!
Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. This is one of my favorite scripture passage. It speaks of God’s goodness and grace towards His children and presents such a wonderful promise that we all desires which is PEACE OF MIND. And throughout the world today people are seeking for peace of mind. Some through unconventional ways and means. Others through some sort of spiritual experience and…
Your Words Reveal Your Conviction
Job 19:25 (KJV) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: This is one of the most profound statements in the Bible. It was made by a man who have seen it all. When it comes to suffering and affliction. He lost all his children, all his maternal things, all his friends and his wife. Because God boasted about him and allowed the devil to test him. Yet in…
“Come Boldly To God’s Throne and……….”
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. We are being expected by the King Himself. We are called and invited by the King Himself. Access is the key to Influence. And we have access to the very Throne Room of God Himself. Now, we must understand why this invitation is given, we are co-partners with God in the great harvest…
The JOY of SALVATION
Luke 10:20 KJV Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. There are many things in life that brings joy to people or makes them happy. Often than none, people are joyful over accomplishments and successful ventures. But hardly do you see people especially Christians being joyful over the Truth that their names are written in The Lambs Book of Life. Which is another way of…
Stay Focused On The Glory!
Romans 8:18 (KJV) 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. One of the fundamental of scriptural testimony of its self is that of Inerrancy. Meaning that the Bible is incapable of Error. It can’t be a source of falsehood or be a source of misinformation or misleading content. It therefore, implies that we can TRUST the Bible. We can depend on…
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…
