The Blessing is in God, and God alone
Psalm 121:1 (KJV) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Expectation influences hope and the source of your expectation fuels your faith. The psalmist was a man of uncommon character and understanding. He knew by the Holy Spirit the importance of developing an expectation that is anchored on God and God alone. Though, God uses people but when our hope and faith are placed on mere men, we have often been disappointed. In Palestine…
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…
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…
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…
Focus On Your Heavenly Reward
2 Timothy 4:8 (KJV) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. The idea of future Reward is a huge motivator for humans. We do things not only because there is an immediate reward but also because there is a “Future Reward”. You work had for a good retirement, pension, or…
Prayer is a Lifestyle
1 Thessalonians 5:17-19 (KJV) Pray without ceasing. Paul a man who understood the pain of persecution, betrayal, and suffering because of his faith in Christ writes by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to the church at Thessalonian and implored them to apply three great keys of the Kingdom on their daily lives. 1. He said – Always Be Joyful. You see Joy is of God and a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is more than a disposition that…
Christ: Our Focus
Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Focus is the key to passion. It determines your attitude and defines your altitude in life. Without it Vision is lost and without it purposes are defeated. However, the object of Focus is another thing, who you look to…
Praising God is Intentional
Revelation 4:11 (KJV) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Awake with Praise this morning. Know that the Lord He is good and His mercies endures forever. Praise is intentional. Praise must reflect on Him and His goodness. The reason we are called to praise is because He created us and it is a good thing to praise God. Speak…
Christ: Our Way Maker
Ephesians 3:12 (KJV) In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Christ is our Way Maker. He not only made a way, He has empowered us to walk in that way by giving unto us the tools necessary. The above scripture underscores the importance of Faith, Boldness, and Confidence. These three cardinals of our walk are very important in walking into our inheritance through the access that has been given to us. Access is…
Obedience & Humility
Philippians 2:8 (KJV) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. This week is a remembrance of the very core of our Faith. Jesus died for us as an atoning sacrifice but as we reflect on this wonderful Truth, we must also reflect on the lessons of this season: 1. There is nothing that can stop you when your heart is made up to serve God. 2.…
Christ: Our Sacrifice!
Romans 8:32 (KJV) He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? The sacrifice ensured that all things are yours. Start believing it and start walking in it. You are a blessed person. Remember, that nothing is greater than the sacrifice of Jesus and it demonstrates your worth before God. The key here is Faith. Believe in who you are and be open to…
