Walking In Purity

‘So be very careful to love the Lord your God’ Josh.23:11

 

Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world” James 4:8. God is extending a relationship invitation to you. But you will notice that He immediately says wash your hands, you sinners. It is a strange thing to talk about the Gospel without talking about sin. A lot of people don’t want to talk about sin these Read the rest of this entry

Relational Impact

‘Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”’ John 4:39.

 

Your vertical relationship with The One influences your horizontal relationships with people. This means your horizontal relationship with people is a reflection of your vertical relationship with The One. If you see someone that is grumpy, easily angered, and always picking a fight, guess what? -that person’s issue is not with you but rather it is with The One. Just tell him or her to go and see The One. When people are spitting Read the rest of this entry

God Is I AM!

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me’ Ps.23:4.

 

The only key to the storms of our lives is securing the Presence of God. To still the storms you are faced with, you have so secure His Presence. In spite of the storm, His presence guarantees safety and deliverance. Safety, they say, is not in the absence of danger; safety is in the Presence of the Lord. Once you can secure His Presence, you will triumph over the storms of life. When you secure God’s presence in the storm, the first storm that God stills is your internal storm. For many of us, the first storm that God needs to still in our lives is the internal storm that we are experiencing. The storm of Read the rest of this entry

With You Always

As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind… Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion…’ Mark4:35-38.

 

Many of us today are in the same position the disciples found themselves in today’s scripture reference. We know we are walking with Jesus, we are His sheep and we hear His voice. We have obediently followed His instructions to cross over to the other side but here we are in the eye of the storm as it were. The first thing you need to know is that even when God is for you, you will still experience storms. And like the disciples, we sometimes are perplexed that if Jesus is in this boat Read the rest of this entry

Not Without Faith

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him’ Heb.11:6.

 

Faith is the number one pleasing factor when it comes to relating with God. Without faith in your heart you cannot please God. While man looks on the outward appearance and might be fooled by lip service, God looks to your heart. And when He looks and does not find faith then we are not pleasing to Him. But you will please God because you will have faith. You need to constantly hear God to know how to go about pleasing Him at Read the rest of this entry

Walking with God

‘I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people’ Lev. 26:11-12.

God wants to have a relationship with you. Through Jesus, He established a more personal relationship with us were we can talk to Him personally and not through a priest. Walking with God requires two things; agreeing with God and pleasing God.

Agreement: Walking with God requires an agreement [Amos 3:3]. You must ask yourself truthfully, are you in Read the rest of this entry

Know His Voice

‘As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him’ Ps.18:30 [KJV].

 

I am confident in God that God will change your life for good beginning today. For some of us, even in this last few days of this year, we are going to gain so much speed that January till now will be like an introduction. With God there is no space and time, God lives in eternity and He can be everywhere at the same time doing awesome things without diminishing in power. Isn’t that awesome? And do you know Read the rest of this entry

Instructions To Obey

‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do’ Josh.1:8.

 

Goliath is a very popular character in the Bible and his fall made room for David’s promotion. As the goliath’s fall in our lives this season, promotion will follow suit in Jesus Name. David was a shepherd boy, he was just a no name, tending to sheep and goats. But David had an unusual trait and that is David is a communicator. There is something in David that just wants to have a conversation. And when David Read the rest of this entry

By Significance III

‘The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.’ Ps.16:6.

 

We have learnt that there are people who have no legacy, there are those wasting their time with non-significant legacies. And then there are people like David that have significant legacies. Even if you look at Solomon, the temple that Solomon built today is not standing. God told David not to worry about building the temple because his son will build it. “Your legacy is going to be bigger than that”. Let us delve deeper and examine what David would forever be remembered Read the rest of this entry

David’s Secret Weapon

‘David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies – the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied’ 1Sam.17:45

 

The question to you and I this morning is how come David won every battle? What was his secret? It is an open secret really. David gives away that secret in his words and with the pattern of his life. David’s secret weapon is simple; David always secured victory before the battle. [verse 45 to 47]. What were David and Goliath trading? Words. Always answer the enemy back. I can never over emphasize that enough. My grandmother would say that if someone says something to Read the rest of this entry
