Visible Faith
‘Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man. “My child, your sins are forgiven”’ Mark 2:5
In Mark 2:1-12, there were four men who had a friend that was paralyzed and they came to Jesus but Jesus’ house was full. There was no room to walk into Jesus’ house. They could have said ‘perhaps it is not yet God’s time for God to heal our friend. We will wait for when Jesus is doing another healing service and come early so that we can be on the front row’. They did not do that. Instead, as the door was not accessible Read the rest of this entry
Redundant Faith
‘A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power’ Eph.6:10
Are you one of those people who did great works for God in the past but now you are redundant in faith? You could trust God to take you through university and help you graduate but now you cannot trust Him to provide you with a job. Or perhaps you had faith and God healed you of a terminal illness, but now you can’t trust God to heal you of a headache. Then you have allowed your faith to become redundant. The Bible says that it is impossible to please God without faith. Therefore, allowing your faith move into redundancy Read the rest of this entry
Have Faith & Build Faith
‘Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see’ Heb.11:1
As children of God everything we do really rests on faith. You call on the name of Jesus daily because you have faith that His name will bring deliverance to whatever situation you find yourself in. When you sit on a chair, you have faith that it can hold your weight. Similarly as children of God, everything we do from here on till eternity should be based on faith. The only reason you know you are saved is because you have faith. Faith is a shield. It protects you from living only by what you can see and know but trusting in every Read the rest of this entry
Take A Stand
‘But Peter said, I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk! Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up…’ Acts 3:6-7
Never be afraid to draw the line with your God. God honors the word of his servants. He will honor you. In your office, say to them if God is alive this is what is going to happen and watch God honor His Name. While on a project in the northern part of Nigeria, two men approached me. The older was crippled and was being carried by the younger man and they were begging for alms. So I said to them that I know they are Muslims and I respect that but I know someone, His Name is Jesus, if Jesus does not heal him, referring to the Read the rest of this entry
Are You Offended?
‘My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your majesty’ Dan.6:22
For some of us the very thing that is off setting our vertical peace is an offence in our hearts. You are offended at God and you are fighting with God because by your own estimation God should have done better. For example, a lady said ‘God if I were you, I would have sorted out this problem. What is all this delay? God if it were You asking me to do this, I would have done it for You. If You were the one begging me, I would have answered you’. God likes Read the rest of this entry
Your Inheritance!
‘Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance’ Heb.6:12.
The Bible says ‘blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth’. There is a land before you that you are not being patient about it. Guess what? There are other people that are willing to be patient with that land. And guess who will inherit the land? Blessed are the meek [the patient] for they will inherit the land. It is the doers of the Word that enjoy the blessings that are attached. A lot of married couples are not willing to be patient with their Read the rest of this entry
Not Without Patience
‘Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised’ Heb.6:15.
Abraham is known as the father of faith. You cannot teach faith without patience. To teach faith without patience is to set people up for a life of disappointments and that is not what the Word of God teaches. The Word of God says Abraham, after releasing his faith, he was patient enough to obtain the promise. I am praying that you will be patient enough to obtain your promise in the mighty Name of Jesus. So if your name is patience, for instance, how Read the rest of this entry

‘God blesses those people who depend only on him. They belong to the kingdom of heaven!’ Matt.5:3 [CEV].
Jesus says the resources of heaven are at the disposal of those who depend only on Him. You and I must understand that without God we are doomed. The strength of the helmet does not come from the head that it protects. The strength of the helmet comes from the material that the helmet is made of. Our confidence does not come from our ability or who we are. Our confidence comes from who our God Read the rest of this entry
Follow Him!
‘And he saith unto then. Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men’ Matt.4:19 [KJV]
A good number of Christians are struggling in their health, marriages, jobs, businesses, and even in their calling because they are carrying what God has not designed for them to carry. You need to launch out daily knowing that Jesus is in control – so relax! The last time I checked He is still the King of kings. God has not called us to figure everything out. ‘Follow Me, and I will make you…’. By the Read the rest of this entry
You Will Receive
‘So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him’ Luke 11:13
Are you one of those who haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit despite attending several sessions? The first thing you need to know is that there is nothing necessarily wrong with you, just be sure that there is no un-confessed sin in your life. Some people say a Christian should not bother about confessed sins yet this is one of the things that can hinder what God wants to release into you. Be sure that there is no mental block. For some their mental block is as a result of bad experiences, wrong doctrine, or they have been Read the rest of this entry
