The Test
Gen: 22:1 “Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!”… 2 “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
It is important that when we read the stories in the Bible, we do not gloss over them. You have to put yourself in these people’s shoes so you can experience God through their eyes. You have to make your trust in God bigger than your savings account, bigger than your finances. Read the rest of this entry
Faith It!
Mark 12:43-44 (MSG) “ Jesus called his disciples over and said, “The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they’ll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford—she gave her all.”
To Step Up financially, you need to Earn Some, Spend Less, Save More, No Loss, Invest More, Give More and finally, Faith It. For you to Step Up financially, you have to faith it and not fake it. Faith is giving what you do not have. Read the rest of this entry
Seeds of Greatness
Prov.6:6 “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! 7 Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, 8 they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter” [with emphasis].
To Step Up Financially, you must Earn Some; Spend Less, and Save More. Clement Stone says, “If you are unable to retain money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.” The first time I came across this quote, it more than shocked me. Read the rest of this entry
J.O.Y.
Matt.23:37 “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”
J.O.Y. – Jesus first, yourself last and others in between; a formula for joy taught in Sunday school based on our scripture reference for today. Jesus has already made peace for you with God by making you right with God. Focus on pleasing God alone and not performing to impress any man. Read the rest of this entry
Love Thing
Rom. 5: 1 “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us” [with emphasis].
We have already been made right and there is nothing more you can do to be made right. This applies to people who are in Christ. If you are not in Christ then the only thing you can do is to give your life to Jesus Christ and be made right in God’s sight. Read the rest of this entry
You Must VI
Mark 12:30 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.”
Each time there is a space between you and the person you are in a relationship with and you are faced with the question, who should move, the answer is you. And to take that a step further into the heart of God, what God wants is that both of you will become mature in God and will both collide with each other on the seat. Read the rest of this entry
Fundamentals
Rev.1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”
Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with logic or with reasoning. Have you not noticed that many great men of God are very intelligent people? C.S Louis was a genius. The Wesley brothers had flawless results and they went on to do great things. Right here in Nigeria, Pastor Adeboye has a Ph.D. in mathematics. Pastor Kumuyi is also a great mathematical mind.

Just Believe!
Jn.4:23 “But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth”
You can only connect to a spirit through the Spirit. Sometimes we want to rationalize God but that is impossible. You cannot rationalize God. Yes, God has given us brains but God is bigger than our brains. Sometimes we witness God’s power through people’s testimony and we question its authenticity. Read the rest of this entry
Unstoppable II
Isa.40: 25 “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One.”
Scientists tell us that there are many galaxies in the universe. In fact, they have begun to talk about multiple universes – multiverse. Earth belongs to a galaxy called the Milky Way. And in our galaxy alone, there are three hundred billion stars. So I researched further because I wanted to know how many stars exist in the whole universe. Read the rest of this entry
Unstoppable I
Ex.15: 6 “Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy. 7 In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. You unleash your blazing fury; it consumes them like straw”.
Most times when God does something, the enemy also tries to imitate what God has done. Take the story of Moses for example, he threw down his rod as God instructed and it turned into a serpent. Pharaoh’s sorcerers also threw down their rods and the rods became serpents. Moses had one serpent but the enemy had many serpents. Read the rest of this entry
