What’s Your Practice?
“And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” Matt.1:21.
Salvation is all encompassing. Jesus paid the price for the salvation of your soul, the healing of your body, deliverance from oppressive spirits and depression, and deliverance from poverty. Jesus died for deliverance from poverty? Yes He did, and you need to know that. However, even though salvation is all encompassing, the truth Read the rest of this entry
The Way Of Men!
“His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears” Isa.11:4 [NKJV]
Physical pleasure is one of the greatest problems that everyone, male and female, have to triumph over. Of all the three, physical pleasure ranks at the top, particularly in our time. The craving for physical pleasure is also known as the lust of the flesh. The third man said, ‘…I now have a wife, so I can’t come’ Luke 14:20. The Bible says Read the rest of this entry
Be Vigilant
“Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Gen.3:1 [NIV]
Yesterday, we learnt extensively about these three things; lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life. And we said these are the same things the enemy uses in his antics. You might be wondering how this can work in today’s world. I will show you. In this time and age, the media is on our case. The media is constantly pumping all Read the rest of this entry
Three Things
“The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, living in His presence every day of my life, delighting in His incomparable perfections and glory” Ps.27:4 [TLB]
We will continue our study of Luke 14:15-20. If you look at the whole story, you will see that it is not just about the wife or the oxen, Jesus is saying ‘you should crave Me, the Giver of the wife, the oxen, the field and much more’. God wants us to crave Him [the Giver] more than gift. It’s time for the family to go for the annual summer trip Read the rest of this entry
Excuses?
“And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever” 1John2:17.
“Another said, ‘I now have a wife, so I can’t come” Luke 14:20. This is the third thing in the anatomy of excuses. In other words, Jesus, can’t you see that my status has changed? You cannot expect me to be doing the things I was doing before. I now have a wife. People do strange things when it comes to wife or no wife, husband or Read the rest of this entry
What’s Your Excuse?
“But they all began making excuses. One said, ‘I have just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen, and I want to try them out. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I now have a wife, so I can’t come.’ Luke 14:18-20
But they all began making excuses…” Did any of these people that were invited ignore Jesus’ call? Not at al! All of them acknowledged and responded but they took permission to be excused. Was that all right with Jesus? Sometimes we think that once we have taken permission then we are good. No, you are not. You may be good for the system on earth but does heaven recognize your excuses?

Don’t Be Deceived I
“For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body” Col.2:9
The lack of sufficiency in Christ can be made up of four things: Rationalism, Legalism, Mysticism, or asceticism. Rationalism simply means human wisdom – explain it. Like the blind man, you can’t explain the blessings of God; it comes because the Bible says that For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. You can’t explain God, you can’t explain Read the rest of this entry
Limits Off
‘The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!”’ Prov.22:13.
Let it be foremost in your mind that God will bless only the works of your hands. A lot of people allow laziness cut them off from God’s plan of greatness for their lives. ‘The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!”’ Prov.22:13. Lazy people manufacture very brilliant excuses. Have you met such people? In other words if you tell him or her to go outside you are trying to kill him or her whereas there is no lion anywhere. A thousand may fall by your side and ten thousand by your right hand but it shall not come near you. After all God says don’t be afraid of the Read the rest of this entry
Powerful Word
‘I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you’ Gen.12:3 [NIV]
In this season, God is saying revelation. In other words, your eyes will be open spiritually and you will experience a higher level of God. ‘And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’’ Ex.3:14 [NKJV]. Up until that time no body knew God as I AM. But Moses because of the next level of his destiny needed a new revelation of God. For your next Read the rest of this entry
