You Already Have Victory
‘Seek the LORD while you can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near’ Isa.55:6
‘I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow’ 1 Cor.3:6. The way God has it fashioned out is that preaching of the Good News is reserved for you and I. Whether the person accepts or not, is not our responsibility. The fact is that once Jesus is preached, you already have the victory. For some of us, our duty is to plant the seed in Read the rest of this entry
Taste And See
‘My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me’ Gal.2:20
It is only the person that has tasted an orange that can convince another person about the sweetness of an orange. Similarly, it is only one who has experienced Jesus that can testify convincingly to another person about Jesus. One sure way you can bring the ultimate gift to those close to you but far from God is to tell your own story. No one knows your story better than you. ‘I don’t know Read the rest of this entry
Giving The Ultimate Gift
‘When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them’ Luke 2:17-18 [NIV]
I hope you plan to give gifts this Christmas. Christmas offers an amazing opportunity for everyone to give gifts of love to one another. God gave His Son Jesus and Jesus gave His life. It is because God gave that is why we can even celebrate Christmas today. Now the ball is in our court. What will you give your friends, family, in-laws, neighbors or even your enemies? God’s word Read the rest of this entry
Antidote
‘At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One’ Job 6:10.
Before you experience gain, it is inevitable to experience a level of pain. We will go through trials and challenges in life, again, this is also inevitable. However, most times when people are faced with trials or challenges, you find them looking for tranquilizers to knock off or even dampen the pain. Pain is painful, have you noticed; either the pain of rejection, financial Read the rest of this entry
Declare War on Sin
‘Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people;then you won’t become weary and give up’. Heb.12:3
Resisting sin is a daily assignment. Paul gives us a tip that is sure to work every time. Keep the image of Christ and His sacrifice before you constantly and sin will lose its power over you. The image of Jesus on the cross is sure to cure every taste for sin and crush it every time it surfaces [Isa.53:6]. The reason why a lot of us seem to be battling one particular sin over and Read the rest of this entry
Invoking God’s Blessings II
‘Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart’ John 7:38
‘Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing’ John 15:5. And we know that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. Yet there are Christians today who choose to stay without the Holy Spirit. They do not want to heal the sick or prophesy. They do not thirst for the anointing and Read the rest of this entry
The Comforter II
‘But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me’ John 15:26
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ. No wonder the Bible says, ‘Christ in you the hope of glory’. The Holy Spirit is not different from Jesus Christ. Jesus says ‘I and the Father are one’. He says ‘I am going but I am leaving another Comforter, I am not going to leave you like orphans. I am going to come and stay with you’. So who is the Comforter? Jesus. Which means that everything Jesus was to the disciples when He walked with them side by side, the Holy Spirit is to us today. Read the rest of this entry
The Comforter I
‘And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you’ John 14:16
For the next few days we are going to be learning about the person of the Holy Spirit. Many times, people refer to the Holy Spirit as ‘something’ or refer to the Holy Spirit as ‘it’. The Holy Spirit is a real person. ‘But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me’ John 15:26. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as ‘The Comforter’. It is amazing that Jesus is saying I am going and I am sending ‘the’ Comforter. Note Jesus did Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know VI
‘When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers’ Acts 2:6
You need to know that God intrudes. God does not always mind His business. Thank God He does not always mind his business. For the people in the scripture reference, it seemed as though God had just intruded in their lives. God intrudes with ‘Attention Getters’. Attention getters usually shake the person to their very foundation. Many of us have loved ones who have refused to serve God. Perhaps it’s time to ask God to intrude in their lives and send attention getters. It is a Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know I
‘They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee’ Acts.2:7
God also blesses those that don’t agree with us. The fact that God is doing awesome things in your life, and you do not agree with your brother does not mean God will stop doing great things in his life. God will bless the people you disagree with inspite of the fact that you disagree with them. You may be one of those who think that this is totally unfair. Some people think that Read the rest of this entry
