Words are a fountain of Grace, Hope, Peace, Faith, and Love
James 1:26 (KJV) If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. There are things in life that defines who we are. There are behaviors that betrays our best intentions. There are actions that conveys contradictory messages about our true nature. So, it is imperative that we are careful as to how we present ourselves. Words are defining of our innermost thoughts or rather they…
What is your ‘CONFESSION’?
1 John 4:15 (KJV) Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. The power of confession cannot be underestimated. However, it is essential to establish that confession in itself without faith in the person making such confession will amount to nothing. We heard it been said, “Confession is Possession,” implying that by what we say, we stand to see or receive, as factual as that may sound, it is not…
Oh Lord, My Praise is for You Alone
Isaiah 25:1 (KJV) O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Praise is due to God.

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…
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…
Believe & Confess for Blessedness!

These principles are central to salvation and continuity of blessedness in life. The first is the principle of heart beliefs. What…
Repentance by Mercy & Grace
Mark 1:15 (KJV) And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Often when we hear the word “repent”, our minds conceives that it has to do with sin and therefore we think of the concept of repentance as for sinners. Yes, however, the word repent primarily focus on Change of Heart and Perspective. A turning around from one direction to another. It does not only imply to sin.…
Victory In Your WORDS!
Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. One of the keys to victory in life is the choice of words. It is so critical that Jesus established in Matthew 12 vs. 36 – 37. That it is the basis of justification or condemnation. How we speak and what we speak is important in the health of our relationship. It defines us, oh he is always angry and speaks so angrily people…
