Right Now II
‘God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.’ Ps.46:1-2
There is a second side to our story from yesterday. The witch’s side; after confessing that she wants Jesus, the young evangelist allowed her to share her testimony. And she said that when the man smiled, confusion hit them in their kingdom. Just a smile and they were all confused. As if that was not enough, he turned his back and slept off. Who did that? Was it him? It was Read the rest of this entry
All-Powerful Name
‘This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds… and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel’ 1Sam.17:46 [NIV]
Goliath did not just die when the stone hit him. Yes he died physically but David won the battle when he came against goliath in the Name of the Lord of Hosts. In the New Testament, Paul was admonishing us to do everything we do in the name of the Lord. Why is Paul saying that? It is because it is in the name of Read the rest of this entry
Acknowledge III
‘Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture’ Ps.100:3
Secondly, acknowledge that He made us. He made us in His own image, after His likeness. Which means that you can’t be ugly especially because God’s works are so beautiful. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows forth His handiwork. And they are masterpieces, He made you, you’re a masterpiece. I know that some people are struggling with receiving this. Let me share an experience with you. I was driving one day Read the rest of this entry
His Kingdom!
Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it’ Matt.16:18
Why was Jesus so convinced about soul winning? I’ll give you two out of many reasons why. The first reason is that this is the way to build His Kingdom. Jesus has a Kingdom and He wants to build His Kingdom? He builds His Kingdom through you and I when we lead other people into that Kingdom. When we do this, He is excited. And in response to that He says ‘ask My Father anything and it will be done for you’. That is a good deal! Take note, it is His Kingdom. Years ago, I used to Read the rest of this entry
On Display III
‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven’ Matt.5:16 [KJV]
You get to choose whether your light will shine or not. It is your decision. Jesus says let your light shine; Jesus did not say let your Pastor’s light shine. Did Jesus say your job is to go about ensuring that other people’s light shines? Did Jesus say let your life group leader’s light shine or let your neighbors light shine? No He said, you let your light shine. For instance, a woman quarrels with everyone in her community and even welcomes new neighbors with fights. Then this same woman Read the rest of this entry
Where Power Lies I
Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it’ Matt.16:18.
Jesus says, ‘I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it’. The challenge with a lot of us is that we do not even realize where the power lies when it comes to being Christians. Pay careful attention; the power lies in introducing people to God. You want to be anointed? Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the Read the rest of this entry
The Only Way!
‘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.
A lot of people even those who refuse to admit it are wondering if Jesus is the only way to God? Well I will let Jesus answer this question Himself. ‘Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me’ John 14:6 [KJV]. This is a direct quote from Jesus Himself. If you have an issue with this answer then you have an issue with Jesus. “I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center Read the rest of this entry
What Is Your Goal?
‘I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!’ Phil.3:10-11
What are those things that you considered valuable before you met Christ? After you met Him are they still that valuable? ‘For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ’ Phil.3:8. What must you count as garbage today? No one in his/her right senses wants to keep garbage consistently in the house. As soon as you identify it as garbage, the next instinct is to throw it out. We have come to the beginning of another year and while we must not take our focus off being thankful to Read the rest of this entry
Acceptable Time
‘Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near’ Isa.55:6 [KJV]
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who know that God’s offer of salvation is at their doorstep right now but they have chosen to taste the world first. I have news for you; you will soon discover that you are not smarter than the devil. There are some of us who think we want to do our own thing first and then when we’re ready we will go to God. That’s the voice of the devil and he will make sure you never get ready. And when you get ready, guess what he will do, he will try to kill you. But I am praying that he will fail. You need to Read the rest of this entry
Give Yourself
‘But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well’ Matt.6:33 [CEV]
Another thing you can give this season is, give your life to Jesus. This is the best gift you can give. Many of us are so consumed with the mistakes we have made in the past, in our marriages, and in our lives that it is hindering us from moving forward. Yet if you understand and realize that Jesus has taken care of your past you will stop worrying. Jesus is offering you a fresh start; free from all the wrong you have ever done, including what you did last week, and even yesterday. For some of us the anxiety we have is for the future; what will Read the rest of this entry
