Acts Of Mercy I
‘For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home’ Matt.25:35.
Jesus was tempted in every way but without sin. There is no temptation that you are going through right now that Jesus has not experienced in one form or the other. When I read this scripture a long time ago, I said to myself that it is not possible because I did not think Jesus would have experienced what I was experiencing. But the truth is that if the Bible says that Jesus was tempted in every way then He was tempted in everyway. Jesus was 100 percent Read the rest of this entry
Do Not Apologize!
‘The people in the camp were jealous of Moses and envious of Aaron, the Lord’s holy priest. Because of this, the earth opened up; it swallowed Dathan and buried Abiram and the other rebels’ Ps.106:16-17
Jesus says, ‘blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” Matt.5:10-12 [NIV]. Are you going through intense persecution because of your Read the rest of this entry
Follow Him!
‘And he saith unto then. Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men’ Matt.4:19 [KJV]
A good number of Christians are struggling in their health, marriages, jobs, businesses, and even in their calling because they are carrying what God has not designed for them to carry. You need to launch out daily knowing that Jesus is in control – so relax! The last time I checked He is still the King of kings. God has not called us to figure everything out. ‘Follow Me, and I will make you…’. By the Read the rest of this entry
Salvation vs. Deliverance
‘Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life’ John 8:12
A number of Christians both old and new are puzzled by the salvation versus deliverance subject. Some say, since knowledge is a form of deliverance then why do people need to go for deliverance? Others wonder if there is a difference between salvation and deliverance because the Word of God states that whom the Son of man sets free is free indeed. Some Christians will tell you that salvation is the ultimate covering for all things so there is actually no need for deliverance from past deeds. Read the rest of this entry
Purity
‘It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart’. Mark 7:15
People are quick to quote scripture out of context for their own personal gain. Jesus describes this as ‘skillfully sidestepping God’s law in order to hold on to our own tradition’ [Read Mark 7:1-23]. So you find people in an attempt to justify bad habits such as drinking alcohol quoting this scripture because after all Jesus was the one who said It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart’. And sometimes it is people who have been wondering whether to indulge in a sinful craving Read the rest of this entry
No Other Name
‘There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved’ Acts 4:12
‘Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me’ John 14:6. So what about other religions, some of them are really good people, what will happen to them? God loves every Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist; God loves every single person He has created. I don’t even think God loves Christians better, so to speak, on the foundational basis of God’s love. A lot of these people are actually good people who do good things. You know Steve Jobs of Apple Computers as a child used to walk Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware VI
‘The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons’ 1 Tim.4:1 [NIV].
Thirdly, demons scheme to lure us away from God. You go for a powerful prayer meeting but you find that all you can do is sleep. Perhaps there is a demon on your case. Apart from those things, demons try to confuse our doctrine and even our understanding of God thereby luring us away from God [1 Tim.4:1 NIV]. ‘Some will abandon the faith’ – what is the faith? The simplicity of the faith; Jesus says ‘I am the Way, I am the truth, I am the life’ by putting my faith in Jesus and accepting His forgiveness I have salvation – Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware II
‘…He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies’ John 8:44.
The second thing you need to know is that satan and his demons hate you. I know they hate me. Do you know why they hate you? It is because you are a human being and you are made in the image of God. You don’t have to do anything to upset them just because you are a creation of God made in His image, they hate you. In fact John 10:10 says they have only one objective to steal, to kill, and to destroy – there is nothing else. It is a three-fold mandate – to steal, to kill, and to destroy. So don’t Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware I
‘Then Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.” Mark 5:9
My earthly father before he passed on he would say to me that God is like a market and there are many routes into a market. Markets in the old days usually do not have a single entrance so people can come in from anywhere and go out from anywhere. However, towards the end of his life he realized the emptiness, void, and vanity of a life without the True and Living God. T.D Jakes while preaching said that he was at the deathbed of his father, and his father said to him that it is so ironic that it is now at the end of his Read the rest of this entry
Fully Obedient
‘And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient’ 2 Cor.10:6.
Confidence comes with complete obedience. ‘And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete’ 2 Cor.10:6 [NIV]. You have the confidence to avenge every act of disobedience only when your own obedience is complete. Which explains why a lot of Christians are living a defeated life because it is only when your obedience is complete that you are able to fight disobedience. There was a case of a man who was on fire for God and all of a sudden he came under some serious affliction Read the rest of this entry
