Query
Prov.8:9 “My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those with knowledge”
I can be very curious; so I love asking questions and I like people who ask questions. I am not talking about foolish questions, or arrogant questions, or questions posed just to show off what the person thinks he or she knows. Jesus had a number of such people showing up at His gatherings. One asked: if seven brothers had married the same woman at different seasons and they had died and gone to heaven, whose wife will the woman be in heaven? Jesus told him that his question reveals his foolishness because there is Read the rest of this entry

Heb.10:23 “Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise”.
The second Biblical example is from the life of Hannah. Hannah’s story was not just that she was married and childless, her husband was married to another woman that had children for him. So Hannah was childless in the midst of fruitfulness and was consistently ridiculed for it. The place of waiting comes with a certain level of pain that can greatly increase if the people around are not sensitive. But Hannah remained faithful to God. She could easily have focused on her pain and drifted away from God which is what a lot of Read the rest of this entry

Lam.3:37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? [KJV]
Who is it that says you will not fulfill your destiny and you are afraid, when God has not said it? Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Num.23:23 No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel. For now it will be said of Jacob, ‘What wonders God has done for Israel!’ Personalize it, replace Jacob in this Scripture with your own name and take the Scripture back to God.
The Truth!
Isa.64:6 “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags…”.
Are you worthy? This is a question that you must confront yourself with. Most times, we do not bother asking because we usually approach God with an attitude of unworthiness. And rightly so, because by ourselves we are unworthy; the best of our righteous acts is like a filthy rag before our Holy God. However it is because of this fact that Jesus came.

Rom.8:1 [Voice] “Therefore, now no condemnation awaits those who are living in Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King”
Guiltiness is not next to Godliness! A lot of people liken the feeling of being guilty to spirituality. So many people are used to just feeling downtrodden before God because they believe guiltiness is next to Godliness. Again I say guiltiness is not next to Godliness. That feeling of guilt that you feel when you are about to pray, is not from God; it is the devil. The goal of condemnation is to put you down. The objective of conviction is to lift you up. Conviction has a definite solution; the Holy Spirit will tell you how to resolve issues Read the rest of this entry

John 21:22 [NIV] “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow Me.”
Test #3 for recognizing Gods voice is: Does it concern my responsibility? Is it your business? Peter was asking Jesus in John 21:22 what was going to happen to John. Jesus had already told Peter what would happen to Peter, and how when he grows old, how he was going to be led by another plus how he would die. But Peter turned around and began to ask about John. Jesus’ response in essence was, what is your business? A lot of people are quick to say, “God has spoken to me about you”. My thoughts are, “Really? Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life II
“When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink… So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink…” Ex.15:23&25.
You need to understand that moving from death to life is not limited only to physical death and physical life. Moving from death to life could be from scarcity to abundance. For some of us, the summation of our financial situation or even our lives has been scarcity. Everything you have had has been scarce. Even when the teachers want to give you grades, they make sure it is scarce. Today, in the Name of Jesus, you Read the rest of this entry
All-Powerful
“Then Elisha went to the spring of the waters and cast the salt in it and said, Thus says the Lord: I [not the salt] have healed these waters; there shall not be any more death, miscarriage or barrenness [and bereavement] because of it” 2 Kings 2:21 [AMP]
“Thus says the Lord” is the weightiest statement in heaven and on earth and it overrides every expert report regardless of the field. I know of ladies that doctors and specialists had told it was medically impossible for them to have children given their conditions. In fact one of such ladies in particular used to bleed for twenty-eight days out of her thirty days Read the rest of this entry
Is That All?
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he good! His faithful love endures for ever” Ps.136:1
It is only the living that can complain but guess what it is also only the living that can give thanks to God. Which would it be for you? Regardless of what you are going through, the fact that you are alive shows that God is not done with you yet and this is reason enough to give thanks. Many times we do not give the thanksgiving that is commensurate to our breakthrough, or even commensurate to our request for the breakthrough. We pray and wait on God for something Read the rest of this entry
Constant Pull
“We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments” 2 Cor.10:4
For every Word God gives you there is a constant tussle until the Word accomplishes God’s purpose in your life. “It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it” Isaiah 55:11. God will give you a Word for your next level. But guess what? Men will also give you a word. It is almost an eternal battle Read the rest of this entry
