Hatred
‘The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, “There is one more man who could consult the Lord for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me! His name is Micaiah son of Imlah…’ 1 kings 22:8.
The third reason for persecution is hatred. Why did the king hate Micaiah son of Imlah? It was because he chose to only say what God tells him to say which of course translated to trouble for the king. But guess what, even the people who hate you know your name and your father’s name. And they are keeping tabs on your progress. The reason why he hated prophet Micaiah was because he was always speaking the mind of God. Being a man of God Read the rest of this entry
Be Humble!
‘The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged’ Ps.69:32.
God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud! This is how it works, if you try to exalt yourself, God will find a way to humble you. And if you try to humble yourself, God will find a way to exalt you. Now you and I know that if God is looking for a way He will find a way, whichever way! If you choose the path of humility God will exalt you! I read a book a while back that changed my life and I want to recommend the book to you as well. When you see the invisible, you can do the impossible by Oral Roberts. I read this book Read the rest of this entry
The Straight And Narrow I
‘For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The wages you held back cry out against you. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies’ James 5:4.
What we have to deal with today applies to all of us really. Is it right to use pirated software, download and watch pirated movies straight off the internet, or buy pirated music discs. Take some time out to think about this as it relates to you and the software you either work with or use leisurely, movies and music that you own.
Not Against God
‘For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?’ 1 Cor.4:7
A number of us are familiar with the term IVF. Yet for those who have never heard of it, IVF simply means In vitro fertilization (IVF); a process where an egg is fertilized by a sperm outside the body. A lot of couples undergo intense pressure from not having children. Some are willing to wait on God and I applaud their faith. While some are willing to take the route of medical science, and guess what, I also applaud their faith. Medical science is not against God, in fact God gave medical science as a gift to man. So Christians 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
Pleasing Lyrics!
‘People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart. The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just then when we offer Him sacrifices’ Prov.21:2-3
Music is one art form that many of us were surrounded with growing up and it was not necessarily music with Christian lyrics. And so today there is a lot of concern about listening to or dancing to secular music. For me dancing and listening to secular music really is neither here nor there especially if they are just neutral lyrics. ‘Lean on me’ for example does not have Christian lyrics but I consider it neutral music. I know there are people who will fight you for singing songs like that. I would say don’t bother yourself with those Read the rest of this entry
Honor Her
‘So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband’ Eph.5:33.
A lot of people find themselves in abusive relationships. Even some Christian marriages today are under the yoke of abuse and God will break the back of it today in Jesus Name. Godly women who are being severely beaten up by their husbands are wondering if they should stay in the abusive relationship. If you are a woman in such a marriage relationship reading this, let me on behalf of all the men say we are very sorry. We apologize and by the help of the Holy Spirit, we won’t do that again!

What Will Jesus Do?
‘For I hate divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty, ” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife’ Mal.2:16.
It will surprise you that one question I get consistently is under what condition can I divorce my spouse? I don’t just get this question from men; even women want to know if they can divorce their husbands. And when I get this question, I just ask myself what will Jesus do? ‘Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?’ Matt.19:3. So today I am presenting you with the same answer that Jesus gave. ‘Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus Read the rest of this entry
His Temple
‘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
Quite a number of ladies are faced with intense pressure when it comes to getting married. Many Christian ladies are confronted with the demand to get pregnant before marriage because their in-laws want to ascertain if they can have children or not. I’ll say it is simple, just tell them that you are a Christian and that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and refuse to do it. It may sound funny but that’s the Word of God; going along with that plan means walking contrary to the path that God has laid down for you. Sadly, Read the rest of this entry
God’s Truth II
‘So, God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27
You need to understand the truth in the Word of God. The Word of God will set you and your children to the third and fourth generation free! You do not even need to be a theologian; you can discern these things just by studying the anatomy of the human body. God’s plan from the beginning and till date is a male and female pair. I once got into a conversation with a family friend of ours who is a very intelligent medical doctor. I cannot remember how we got to the topic of homosexuals but her opinion was that Read the rest of this entry
