Not Weakness
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
Wikipedia.com defines meekness as power under control. Real meekness is power under control and not weakness. If you look at the root word for meekness in the Greek Prautes it means the middle point between two extremes – getting angry unreasonably [the Greek word orgulotes] and not getting angry at all [the Greek word aorgesia]. In other words, meekness is getting angry at the right time, in the right measure, and for the right reasons. The Word of God says, ‘be angry but do not sin’. In other words, you are not Read the rest of this entry
He Understands!
‘Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we’re being tested’ Heb.2:18.
General statistics state that at least one out of every three women has been raped. In truth, the idea of rape is very sad. It is a horrible experience that no woman wants to go through. As if the experience of being raped is not bad enough some ladies get pregnant as a result. If you are a man reading this today and you have raped someone, you need to cry out to God for mercy because that is a heavy thing to do to the image of God. For ladies, once rape has happened the first thing you should do is go to a gynecologist and get proper Read the rest of this entry
Holy Matrimony III
‘Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency’ 1 Cor.7:5 [KJV]
The Word of God says, ‘one shall chase a thousand and two shall chase ten thousand’ and this is one of the reasons why the enemy is waging a deliberate war against marriages. We ought to realize that marriage is an earthly gift from God. The Bible clearly states that there is no marriage in heaven. So be determined to make the best of it. Resolve that your spouse will get the best loving from you. One key area the devil uses to put pressure on marriages is in the area of sexual intimacy. The husband is either flooded with too many Read the rest of this entry
Holy Matrimony I
‘Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge’ Heb.13:4 [KJV]
There are varying opinions out there about marriage and what is ‘acceptable’ within the confines of marriage especially on the topic of sexual acts in marriage. Are there wrong sexual acts inside of marriage – is oral sex allowed within marriage? Some people would tell you that engaging in oral sex, anal sex, masturbation, pornography within marriage is wrong. I would personally not group oral sex with anal sex, pornography, and masturbation. I agree that engaging in masturbation and pornography is wrong because it hurts Read the rest of this entry
With God And With Men II
‘Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body’ 1 Cor.6:19-20.
God says to us clearly that we do not belong to ourselves anymore. You have a stamp on you that reads, ‘property of the Most High God’. Therefore, you cannot be single and giving or receiving oral sex. You are sinning! You need to repent and ask Jesus to cleanse you. You have no business with oral sex if you are single because you are defiling yourself regardless of whether you are a biological virgin or not. Virginity is a symbol of purity by the time you begin to engage in oral sex, it is defilement. You see when it comes to Read the rest of this entry
Virtue
‘Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted’ Titus 1:15
There is virtue in remaining a virgin till marriage but some Christian men claim that they have experienced rejection because of this virtue. I am certain that a Christian woman who is totally submitted to God will not have issues with her husband for being a virgin. Again the women who are rejecting you, are they really saved themselves? Check! Once you are truly saved, Jesus Christ becomes the center of your life and you are attracted to purity. In fact, I would have thought that I would be the woman complaining that it is Read the rest of this entry
Tongues
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability’ Acts 2:4
During our question and answer series a number of life changing questions were put forward. We turned to scripture for answers because ‘all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’ 2 Tim.3:16-17 [NIV]. Someone wanted to know if writing in tongues had scriptural backing. She had a friend who writes in tongues and she was finding it a bit confusing. Have you seen 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
The Compass
‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God’ Ps.42:1 [KJV]
The areas we have focused on over the past few days are critical. These are the things that can give us Christians a bad report before the world. Not the power for healing the sick. We have people who are filled with the Holy Spirit but are nasty at work. People are filled with the Holy Spirit and their spouses regret living with them. People who are filled with the Holy Spirit but all we can hear is noise. God wants us to open our hearts to Him. The Holy Spirit is a person and He can be Read the rest of this entry
The Power IV
‘The love of God is shed abroad our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us’ Rom.5:5[KJV].
It is the Holy Spirit that empowers us to love and forgive. Some one has hurt you very deeply perhaps a parent, spouse, siblings, or colleague. The only person that can make you forgive is the Holy Spirit. ‘If someone says, I love God, but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?’ 1 John 4:20. If you don’t love the people you can see, how can you love the person you cannot see? The Read the rest of this entry
