You Must IV
Phil.2:3 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves”
If you are still single, my advice is do not marry a selfish person. It is just an advice. Selfishness is a huge destroyer. A person cannot be selfish and humble at the same time. It does not work that way. Selfishness is one of the major cankerworms that destroys the fabric of marriage. Read the rest of this entry
You Must III
Eph.4:32 “Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you” [with emphasis].
If love is to last in our relationships, we must Listen with all our hearts and Forgive with all our hearts. Yesterday we explained the difference between acceptance and forgiveness. However, some issues in marriage are actually forgiveness issues. Relationships are between two imperfect people. Read the rest of this entry
You Must II
Rom. 15:7 “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory” [with emphasis]
The second thing that you and I must do if love is to last in our relationships is that we must forgive with all of our heart. The challenge with us is we confuse acceptance with forgiveness. Acceptance is not forgiveness. There is a difference between acceptance and forgiveness. Read the rest of this entry
You Must I
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
Paul says you and I “…must keep on loving with all your heart”. When I read this I had to ask God to help me. You must keep loving not with a part of your heart but with all your heart. The question is how can one do that? How do we keep on loving with all our hearts for a life time? Read the rest of this entry
Love Matters
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
A lot of people relate with God based on His power and might. Such people would usually start their prayers like this, “Oh God of heaven, Thou mighty, magnificent, omnipotent God of the universe, I come to You today…” There is nothing wrong with that because God is all that and more.

Open or Closed ?
Prov.11:24 “There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty” (NKJV).
God wants to release something to you and He is waiting for you to let go of what is in your hands. For some of us, what God has asked us to let go of is a bad habit. Substance abuse can kill you or affect your mental state negatively. Let it go! Remember, God is not just asking you to let it go and have nothing. He is saying let it go because He wants to release something into your hands. Read the rest of this entry
Let Go!
1 Sam.15:22 “Samuel: Does the Eternal One delight in sacrifices and burnt offerings as much as in perfect obedience to His voice? Be certain of this: that obedience is better than sacrifice; to heed His voice is better than offering the fat of rams” [Voice].
To come into what God has for us and to experience the miracles of God, the second thing we must do is Obey. Once you believe, the next thing is to obey. Jesus told the blind man in John 9:1-7 [please read], after putting mud in his eyes to go and wash and the man just went in obedience. Many people would argue but the blind man just obeyed.

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.

The Application
2 Kings 3:15 “Now bring me someone who can play the harp.” While the harp was being played, the power of the Lord came upon Elisha, 16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says: This dry valley will be filled with pools of water!”
Elisha had the right seed, the right Word in his heart. He had the right soil but he did not have the right conditions and so he could not prophesy and miracles could not happen. Elisha understood this principle so he requested for a minstrel. Read the rest of this entry
God’s Principles
1 Cor.3:6 “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” [KJV]
The Right Seed + the Right Soil + the Right Conditions = Abundant Harvest. I am teaching you a principle, a principle that has worked in my life. Again, let me emphasize that it is God that brings the increase so do not get what I am about to say next wrong. I can almost work this formula at will. When people do not know the ways of God, they will think the increase is by chance. When you know the ways of God you can reproduce it.
