As a child of God, what is the drive of your life?
Psalm 42:2 (KJV) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Thirst is a natural phenomenon as hunger. However, what you are thirsting for and what we are hungry for reveals the need for our lives. Thirsting for something shows how much you are in need of such a thing and when you are thirsting for God, it as well reveals the inner drive of your life. The psalmist declares that…
Put on the whole Armor of God
Ephesians 6:11 (KJV) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. It is an undeniable truth that we have an adversary whose intention is to hinder, accuse, tempt, and work against all that is of God in our lives.

Therefore, we preach the Gospel in such a way that its content remains true while its presentation is not in betrayal of Christ’s purpose. We are not called to bring condemnation to people,…

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…
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…
