Proven Word
‘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’ Isa.55:11.
God’s Word will produce fruit in your life. The Word of the Lord will enforce fruitfulness in your life today in Jesus Name. This is God’s Word! The enemy tries to resist people particularly in the area of fruitfulness. Yes we can start with physical fruitfulness, that is, children. But beyond that, some people are mentally barren and as a result they do not have ideas. They are mentally unfruitful. Some people are emotionally barren Read the rest of this entry
Heavens Appraisal
“And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? Luke 16:11
If at the end of this month, God gives you your annual income along with your regular monthly take home pay, what will you do with it? Calculate it and think!
You need to embrace the truth of the Word of God as is. God says Jesus became poor so that you through His poverty can become rich. To become rich in God, you have to come through the poverty of Jesus. What Read the rest of this entry
A Tenth
‘The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives’ Deut.14:23 [TLB].
Yesterday, we established the fact that when Jesus came and fulfilled the Law, the part of the Law that He made irrelevant was largely the ceremonial law – the law of access to God. Jesus came to fulfill that law; He set aside the old so that He can bring about the new. That is the covenant that was replaced. The covenant Read the rest of this entry
Lesson Two
“‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.’ Lev.27:30 [NIV].
The second lesson in learning how to give more is to intentionally return to God what belongs to God. You have to deliberately give back to God what belongs to God. You have to be deliberate about your tithing. The tithe does not just fly out of your account, have you noticed? You have to be deliberate in paying it. ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house…’ Mal.3:10 [NIV]. God says the Read the rest of this entry
Even You!
“What can I do to help you?” Elisha asked. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” “Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil,” she replied’ 2 kings 4:2
The fourth thing you must remember even as this year progresses is the oil principle. The oil principle simply states that everybody has oil. No one is born empty. The Bible says that a widow of one of the members of the prophets came crying to Elisha for help. Her husband had passed on and left her and her two sons in debt. And a creditor had come threatening to take her sons as slaves. [Please read 2 kings 4:1-7]. You would expect that Elisha will just give her some cash but instead Elisha asked her Read the rest of this entry
We Are The Church II
‘Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other’ Rom.12:4-5
Our vision in God’s Favourite House is to be filled with the life of Christ Jesus and released into our destinies, taking the world for Him. The vision of a local church is unique; there are no two churches that share the same vision really. But the mission of the church is the same regardless of its denomination. The church of Jesus has only one mission. Jesus said ‘go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit’. If you are to condense Read the rest of this entry
Next Door
David asked the soldiers standing nearby, “What will a man get for killing this Philistine and ending his defiance of Israel? Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies if the living God?” 1Sam.17:26.
‘But when David’s oldest brother Eliab, heard David talking to the men, he was angry. “What are you doing around here anyway?” he demanded. “What about those few sheep you’re supposed to be taking care of? I know about your pride and deceit. You just want to see the battle!”’ 1Sam.17:28. I was fresh out of school and had just finished the National Youth Service Corps service year. And I wanted to do an I.T. certification MCSC. This Read the rest of this entry
Heart Check VI
‘David replied to Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me today! Thank God for your good sense! Bless you for keeping me from murder and from carrying out vengeance with my own hands’ 1 Sam.25:32-33.
David had a Listening heart. I urge you to please read 1 Samuel 25 it is an amazing story. There was a wealthy man called Nabal. He had sheep, goats, cattle, and all sorts of livestock. In the wilderness, David met Nabal’s men and provided security for them. When he heard Nabal was shearing his sheep, David sent his boys to Nabal to congratulate him and ask him to share provisions with them. Now think about it, imagine you park your car in a Read the rest of this entry
Heart Check II
‘But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do’ Acts 13:22.
He was just a shepherd boy when God said to Saul ‘‘But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command’ 1Sam.13:14. God said about David, “I have found David, He is a man after My heart’. Wow! David’s heart is committed to God, totally committed to God.
Heart Check I
‘But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command’ 1Sam.13:14 .
David is so unique such that in the whole Bible, there is only one person named David. People’s names are usually repeated. Although it may not necessarily mean anything, yet I find it interesting and worth mentioning. David survived all the terrible things he went through because of one thing – his heart. David had his heart in the right place. How do you deal with a father in-law that is trying to pin you to the wall with a javelin? Physically, this is not Read the rest of this entry
