Submitted?
Job 23:14 “So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny.”
We have to submit to the process and let God expunge Egypt out of us. I have seen where curses are actually broken but the pattern of behaviour continued. Read the rest of this entry
Love Responds
Matt.28: 2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.”
There was confusion in hell, satan and all his demons fell on their face just at the mention of the Name of Jesus. satan grabbed the demon’s throat, “I thought I told you not to mention that name in this place. Read the rest of this entry
Dare Not
Gen.3:6 “The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it.”
The Bible clearly states that Eve was convinced. Men, this is why you have to keep talking to your wife. Women want to hear something, you be the one that has the agenda and consistently deliver your manifesto. Read the rest of this entry

Divergent
Ps. 101:7 (VOICE) “The one who makes a habit of deceit will not be welcome in my house; The one who lies will not remain in my presence for long.”
Lying is a spectrum and it has many levels to it. It is not until someone commits perjury that it becomes a big deal. Usually, lying starts small with flattery.
Love Controlled
2 Cor.5:14 [MSG] “Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do.”
By God’s grace, people talk with me freely because they know that I will not judge them. A pastor’s job is very interesting; you cannot even imagine some of the things I hear. But all in all, my first response is usually to laugh.
The Promise
Who’s Throne?
Philip. 4:6 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
There will always be things that will try to take control of your heart and try to be God in your life. The truth is that when anything or anyone gains controlling position of your life, the first commandment is broken. Read the rest of this entry
