J-O-Y
Ps. 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Do you know anyone or are you the kind of person that remains joyful in times of adversity and uncertainty? If it is someone you know, then what strikes you most about that person? Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability VI
Acts 2:42 “… They took part in the fellowship, and sharing in fellowship meals and in praying together…” [TEV, with emphasis]
If you want God’s blessings in your life, you must be committed to loving other Christians deeply. Acts 2:42 “they were like family to each other” [CEV, with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
His Pleasure
Psa. 99:5 “Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!”
Your focus in the place of worship is very important because it informs what you will do. Your focus will also inform what you allow and what you will disallow. For instance, if your focus is on people and what they will say, if they will laugh at you or call you a fanatic, you will struggle with kneeling down in God’s Presence. Read the rest of this entry
Nature. Things. People
Ps.77:13 “O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you? 14 You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations”.
There are three spheres of miracles. God sometimes does miracles with nature. In the Bible, God caused the earth to open its mouth and swallow up His enemies. The earth will open up its mouth and swallow up all the enemies of your destiny, in Jesus Name. God has fought with wind and with hail. Secondly, God does miracles with inanimate things. Jesus fed five thousand people [please read Matt. 14:13-31].
Rejoice!
James 2:26 [AMP] “For just as the [human] body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works [of obedience] is also dead”
1 Sam.1:17 “In that case,” Eli said, “go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him.”18 “Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad.” The Bible records that Hannah’s countenance changed and this is so instructive. Just like Hannah, you and I must take action; add action to your faith. You have waited, you have fasted, you have worshiped, and you have prayed. You need to add actions to your faith. Her action was she broke Read the rest of this entry
What Counts
Gen.32: 28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
What has God said to you? When such questions are posed, some people immediately connect and are fired up. But some others feel lost because they are still developing their hearing from God. If you are a member of God’s Favourite House, then you already have a Word from God. God has said concerning us, “Establishment, Bloom, Victory, Rejoice… and in this season He says changing destinies for good. This is God’s Word, you have to take it to heaven and lock it down. And as days follow the night, you will have victory, His Read the rest of this entry
Knowing III
John 21:22 [NIV] “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow Me.”
Test #3 for recognizing Gods voice is: Does it concern my responsibility? Is it your business? Peter was asking Jesus in John 21:22 what was going to happen to John. Jesus had already told Peter what would happen to Peter, and how when he grows old, how he was going to be led by another plus how he would die. But Peter turned around and began to ask about John. Jesus’ response in essence was, what is your business? A lot of people are quick to say, “God has spoken to me about you”. My thoughts are, “Really? Read the rest of this entry
Clarity
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” 2 Tim.3:16 [NIV]
“I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time” Ecc.9:11 [emphasis added]. Read the rest of this entry
Off Limits!
“Bad companions ruin good character.” 1 Cor. 15:33 [GN]
When affairs and illicit sex happen, they happen with three main categories of people. The first category is friends [family friends]. It is well documented that most affairs occur between couples that are friends. Why am I exposing this? It is so that you know what to watch out for and what to guard against. Does it mean you would not have friends? Of course you should have friends. Your friend came to visit with your family, then you leave her at midnight to watch a Read the rest of this entry
Push For Zero!
“Turn your back on lustful thoughts and give your positive attention to goodness, integrity, love, and peace.” 2 Tim. 2:22 [Ph, emphasis added]
You and I need to learn how to willingly run away from potentially damaging things. If only you realize that God is actually watching you, you will run away from everything that is vile and vulgar. You will not even struggle. You just would not be caught with such things. Another thing we all need to watch out for when it comes to minimizing the opportunity for temptation, is traveling. Traveling kind of gives people a false sense of liberty because your mind tells Read the rest of this entry
