Love And Obedience
‘And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?’ Matt. 16:26.
Knowing God is learning and understanding the things that He approves of and the things that don’t please Him. Loving God is moving beyond the afore mentioned into doing the things that please the Father. Jesus says ‘if you love me, obey my commandments’. John 14:15. So when a young lady comes to me and says she has been living with a man for five years and this man has paid her school fees. The first question is ‘do you really know the Father?’ Read the rest of this entry
Follow The Word!
‘A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach’ 1 Tim.3:2 [KJV]
Some issues can only be addressed based on the Word of the God and not based on the doctrines of men. ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness’ 2 Tim.3:16 [KJV]. The Word of God says, ‘that male and female created He them’ – one man one wife. God did not create three wives for Adam. ‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined Read the rest of this entry
Better And Better
‘The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day’ Prov. 4:18
If you are striving to keep your marriage in the honeymoon stage then that is a red flag. Does this mean you do not expect better than your honeymoon? Someone that remains or insists on remaining in the honeymoon stage of his or her marriage will never grow. When you first give your life to Jesus you experience a honeymoon stage where even before you close your eyes your prayers have already Read the rest of this entry
New Direction!
‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts’ Isa.55:9 [KJV].
Today I will be sharing an experience with you. I trust that God will use this experience to teach, shape, mold, and humble you as He did me. I trust that this experience will help you understand and appreciate the sovereignty of God even more in Jesus Name. ‘For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts’ Read the rest of this entry

‘God blesses those people who depend only on him. They belong to the kingdom of heaven!’ Matt.5:3 [CEV].
Jesus says the resources of heaven are at the disposal of those who depend only on Him. You and I must understand that without God we are doomed. The strength of the helmet does not come from the head that it protects. The strength of the helmet comes from the material that the helmet is made of. Our confidence does not come from our ability or who we are. Our confidence comes from who our God Read the rest of this entry
Follow Him!
‘And he saith unto then. Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men’ Matt.4:19 [KJV]
A good number of Christians are struggling in their health, marriages, jobs, businesses, and even in their calling because they are carrying what God has not designed for them to carry. You need to launch out daily knowing that Jesus is in control – so relax! The last time I checked He is still the King of kings. God has not called us to figure everything out. ‘Follow Me, and I will make you…’. By the Read the rest of this entry
Struggling?
‘In the same way, you younger men must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for “God opposes the proud but favors the humble’ 1 Pet.5:5.
Another major difference between the humble and the proud is that proud people compare themselves with others and feel worthy. As long as their performance rates higher than the next person, they feel better than the next person and in some cases better about themselves. Humble people on the other hand compare themselves with the holiness of God and feel desperate for His mercy. The humble Read the rest of this entry
Be Humble!
‘The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged’ Ps.69:32.
God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud! This is how it works, if you try to exalt yourself, God will find a way to humble you. And if you try to humble yourself, God will find a way to exalt you. Now you and I know that if God is looking for a way He will find a way, whichever way! If you choose the path of humility God will exalt you! I read a book a while back that changed my life and I want to recommend the book to you as well. When you see the invisible, you can do the impossible by Oral Roberts. I read this book Read the rest of this entry
Not Weakness
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
Wikipedia.com defines meekness as power under control. Real meekness is power under control and not weakness. If you look at the root word for meekness in the Greek Prautes it means the middle point between two extremes – getting angry unreasonably [the Greek word orgulotes] and not getting angry at all [the Greek word aorgesia]. In other words, meekness is getting angry at the right time, in the right measure, and for the right Read the rest of this entry
Poor In Spirit
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ Matt.5:3 [NIV].
Jesus wants you and I to know today that the resources of heaven are at the disposal of the poor in spirit. So what does it mean to be poor in spirit? Does it mean I am poor in spirit when my bank account is reflecting a double negative? Of course not! To be poor in spirit simply means to realize one’s desperate need for God. For you and I to be poor in spirit means realizing our desperate need for God. Therefore if you are in fellowship simply because you want recognition for the material things you possess it means you have not Read the rest of this entry
