The Fire
“If it be so, our God who we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O King. But if not, be it knows unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up” Dan.3:17-18 [KJV]
You need to settle it in your heart that you will only bow your knees to God and God alone. So that no matter what you are faced with, because you have resolved in your heart to bow to God alone, that resolve comes through for you. Guess what, it is not when you face that temptation or pressure that the resolve kicks in. It has already shaped decisions you would have made in days past and in Read the rest of this entry
All About Worship II
“Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity (idols and idolatry); and restore me to vigorous life and health in Your ways” Ps.119:37 [AMP]
It all about worship! The devil said to Jesus all you need to do is bow and worship me. Now that may sound innocent. The three Hebrew boys [Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego] were faced with the same temptation. All you need to do is bow to the idol when you hear the sound of the bugle. Just bow, after all if you bow you will save yourself the flaming furnace and when you get home you will Read the rest of this entry
The Link
“When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it” Ecc.5:4-5 [NIV]
I have heard arguments, several arguments relating to Hannah’s prayer. Some people say the Bible says her voice as not heard so Hannah did not verbalize her prayer. And I say read your Bible properly. Eli sat and watched Hannah from a distance and he did not hear her voice. I am not saying he did but his conclusion was that she was drunk. These people that say Hannah did not say a word Read the rest of this entry
Crowned With Goodness
“Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” Luke 17:17-18.
God will wrap this year up for you with goodness in Jesus Name. How should you respond to God’s goodness? Start by thanking God and thank Him profusely. After you have given thanks, let this newly established appreciation of God’s goodness draw you closer to God. Then you respond even further by increasing our goodness to Read the rest of this entry
Most Assuredly
“The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” Saul finally consented. “All right, go ahead,” he said. “And may the Lord be with you!” 1 Sam.17:37
Our forth response to God’s goodness is we face the future with confidence. God is going to round up this year for you with His goodness. That should give you confidence to face the coming year with the utmost confidence. Some people will devote themselves to complaining and nursing fears about the year that is about to Read the rest of this entry
Imitate God
“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” Rom.2:4
Some people feel they need to be controlled and brought under submission. Such people do not respond to kindness, goodness, and to benevolence, they only respond to terror. Before I met my wife, I was dating another lady that I thought I was going to get married to but the relationship went south. And some Pastor’s wife approached me, she was of the impression that I had broken off the relationship. She said she Read the rest of this entry
Taste Berry!
“Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” Rom.2:4 [NKJV]
Gratitude they say is like a taste berry. A taste berry is something that once you put it in your mouth every other thing you eat afterwards is made sweet, even the bitter things become sweet. Thanksgiving is life’s taste berry; it makes every other thing that comes afterwards sweet. Start your day with thanksgiving and let it set the tone for your day. Read the rest of this entry
Give Thanks!
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Ps.136:1 [emphasis added].
Many times we do not stop to say thank you profusely enough at God’s goodness. Let your thanksgiving be commensurate to how much you desired the breakthrough. If the breakthrough requires you to fast and pray, maybe the testimony should require you to dance and rejoice. Dance before God. Rejoice before your Maker. Give thanks to the God that has spared you and kept you in spite of the pain. With all that we are if we are anything at Read the rest of this entry
Test of Devotion
“Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other” Deut.4:39 [NIV]
Everything we own is a test of our devotion. And a key thing to devotion is recognizing God as Source and Sovereign. If you are struggling to have consistent devotion with God, check, does your heart really recognize God as your Source and as Sovereign? The key to devotion is every time you go before God, every time you bow before Him, you worship Him, you pray, you have your Read the rest of this entry
Stewardship
“And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need” Acts 2:44-45 [emphasis added]
The early church was big on stewardship. The question is what is stewardship? Who is a steward? Simply put, a steward is someone that is in charge of some else’s property. A steward by definition is one who manages and looks after another’s property. You and I are stewards and this dates back to the very beginning. “The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it” Gen.2:15. Read the rest of this entry
