You Have Control!
‘And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise’ Phil.4:8
There is a battle going on in our minds, the age-old battle between God and evil. Young men and woman find their minds going off on a tangent based on what their eyes have seen. Yet God is saying to us today that you can control your mind. In fact, the quoted translation says ‘fix your thoughts’. The only way to survive in our present day world is to exercise your God given control over your mind. ‘Finally, my brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever Read the rest of this entry
Virtue
‘Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted’ Titus 1:15
There is virtue in remaining a virgin till marriage but some Christian men claim that they have experienced rejection because of this virtue. I am certain that a Christian woman who is totally submitted to God will not have issues with her husband for being a virgin. Again the women who are rejecting you, are they really saved themselves? Check! Once you are truly saved, Jesus Christ becomes the center of your life and you are attracted to purity. In fact, I would have thought that I would be the woman complaining that it is Read the rest of this entry
Draw Near!
‘Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened’ Matt.7:7-8.
Many Christians are consumed with the feeling that they are far from God and they cannot hear Him speak or feel His tangible presence. You want my advice; follow the path that God has carefully laid out in His Word. ‘Draw near unto God and He will draw near to you!’ What are you waiting for? You need to make the first move. The truth is that God has reconciled you and I to Himself so that we can have a relationship with Him. A relationship is between two people and it involves both parties speaking and getting to Read the rest of this entry
Tongues
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability’ Acts 2:4
During our question and answer series a number of life changing questions were put forward. We turned to scripture for answers because ‘all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’ 2 Tim.3:16-17 [NIV]. Someone wanted to know if writing in tongues had scriptural backing. She had a friend who writes in tongues and she was finding it a bit confusing. Have you seen Read the rest of this entry
Choices
‘Pure and genuine religion is the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you’ James 1:27
Are you one of those seeking Biblical based answers to why Christians shouldn’t go to the club? I believe you know the answer to this already but you are just looking for Scriptural proof. The truth is, it is what you feed that will grow in you. Nobody is a spiritual giant. The people that you think are spiritual giants deliberately control their environment. Your environment determines what grows in you. If you put a corn seed on the table for one year, when you come back it most likely will still be the corn seed. But if you put that same Read the rest of this entry
Maturity
‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need’ Matt.6:33
A lot of people and even Christians are concerned about the effects that wealth can have on true love especially since the Bible says ‘there will always be some poor among you’. If you read the preceding scriptures it also states that ‘There should be no poor among you, for the Lord your God will greatly bless you in the land He is giving you as a special possession’ Deut.15:4. Yes some Christians will be in lack because of the decisions they have taken by themselves. Some will also be rich because of the decisions they have taken Read the rest of this entry
Purity
‘It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart’. Mark 7:15
People are quick to quote scripture out of context for their own personal gain. Jesus describes this as ‘skillfully sidestepping God’s law in order to hold on to our own tradition’ [Read Mark 7:1-23]. So you find people in an attempt to justify bad habits such as drinking alcohol quoting this scripture because after all Jesus was the one who said It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart’. And sometimes it is people who have been wondering whether to indulge in a sinful craving Read the rest of this entry
Honor Her
‘So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband’ Eph.5:33.
A lot of people find themselves in abusive relationships. Even some Christian marriages today are under the yoke of abuse and God will break the back of it today in Jesus Name. Godly women who are being severely beaten up by their husbands are wondering if they should stay in the abusive relationship. If you are a woman in such a marriage relationship reading this, let me on behalf of all the men say we are very sorry. We apologize and by the help of the Holy Spirit, we won’t do that again!

You Will Receive
‘So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him’ Luke 11:13
Are you one of those who haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit despite attending several sessions? The first thing you need to know is that there is nothing necessarily wrong with you, just be sure that there is no un-confessed sin in your life. Some people say a Christian should not bother about confessed sins yet this is one of the things that can hinder what God wants to release into you. Be sure that there is no mental block. For some their mental block is as a result of bad experiences, wrong doctrine, or they have been Read the rest of this entry
No Other Name
‘There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved’ Acts 4:12
‘Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me’ John 14:6. So what about other religions, some of them are really good people, what will happen to them? God loves every Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist; God loves every single person He has created. I don’t even think God loves Christians better, so to speak, on the foundational basis of God’s love. A lot of these people are actually good people who do good things. You know Steve Jobs of Apple Computers as a child used to walk Read the rest of this entry
