He Loves You
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute… No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” Rom.8:35 & 37.
It is difficult to sin with Jesus right beside you, extremely difficult. When you read Psalm 139:1-12 [please read], you will quickly realize that there is nowhere you can go to hide from God. God is everywhere. Jesus is near. Regardless of our proximity to Jesus, we still need to get His attention. Married people will attest to the fact that a Read the rest of this entry
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
Everything
“So you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power” Col.2:10 [TLB, emphasis added].
Jesus is enough for our companionship. God speaks many times but we are actually too busy to hear and listen to Him. He speaks through His Word and He speaks to us directly. God wants to have conversations with us. You don’t need to stay up late just to make free midnight calls talking to strange people at very strange hours Read the rest of this entry
Jesus Alone!
“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
A lot of us are under extreme pressure from people who are debating our faith and our trust in God. And sometimes, it is because of the circumstances we are in. Perhaps you are a single lady/man trusting God for a life partner and people are suggesting to you what you should do and how you should go about getting a life partner. Some of us are being deceived into Read the rest of this entry
Ask
“Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery—unless his wife has been unfaithful.” Matt.19:8-9
Today we will be dealing with the follow up question to the question on marriage. “Jesus’ disciples then said to him, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry! “Not everyone can accept this statement,” Jesus said. “Only those whom God helps” Matt.19:10-11. Until you see that it is better not to marry, you are not fit to marry. What I mean is this; until you see Read the rest of this entry
Address The Source
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” Matt.19:4
Don’t you just like David? David shows up on the scene, sees goliath, and asks what are they going to give to the person who takes down this giant? [Please read 1 Sam.17] David was negotiating his reward before he took on the battle. People may say how can he be so selfish? Is he not an Israelite? Can’t he do it for patriotism? David says, ‘No, I see things differently. Read the rest of this entry
He Answers
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” John 9:3.
Jesus is The Answer and as The Answer, He was asked a whole lot of questions. I did a little bit of research and I discovered that Jesus was asked about a hundred and ten documented questions. That’s a lot in three years. Thirty-seven out of the one hundred and ten questions were asked by Jesus Himself. Jesus would ask a question and He would answer it Himself. Read the rest of this entry
Do You Really Know Him?
“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple” Ps.27:4 [KJV].
Jesus is Alpha! Jesus was there before you were born, before your parents decided to have a baby. Even when they said you were a mistake and they wanted to flush you out, Jesus made sure that you were not aborted. I know of a child that the parents attempted to abort several times but they did not succeed. And today, that child is the most powerful among their children and the parents are glad that they didn’t abort the child. 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
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
