The Mark!
“Jesus said “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit…” Jn.15:5
Sometimes we have very strange ways of measuring our spiritual maturity. So what is the mark of spiritual maturity? To answer this question, I will ask you yet another question, How do you know when a boy becomes a man or a girl becomes a woman? What is the mark of biological maturity? Think about it, what really is the mark of biological maturity? Biologically, an organism is termed to be mature when Read the rest of this entry
Real Talk
“The generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed” Prov.11:25
Honestly, you and I need to start asking ourselves these hard questions, “Have I been a Taker?” If you have a friend or people around you ask them and make up your mind not to react at the response you get. Ask, “how do you see me in this relationship? Am I always demanding and taking or am I a Giver and do I give?” Guess what? The person who is always taking and never giving will become stale, unpleasant, and Read the rest of this entry
Line Upon Line
“He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!” Isa.28:10
“He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!” If God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth takes time out to tell you everything over and over, don’t you think you need to pay attention to what He is saying? Little beginnings can be equated to the place of waiting perhaps for the next big thing or for the doors to open unto you. God has placed you close to married people so that He can birth a desire Read the rest of this entry
Pay Attention!
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin…” Zech.4:10
A lot of times we are so caught up with racing to the top that we miss out on vital lessons we need to learn along the way to the top. Never ignore the things you think are time wasting or useless. Most of the time, these are the lessons you will need in future. We are always so caught up with the seemingly big things that we tend to miss out on, overlook, and grumble about the seemingly little things God is doing. “He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much”.

Take Note!
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” Prov.22:29 [KJV]
“Using a dull axe requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed” Ecc.10:10. You have been given the axe and the wood, however succeeding at the task of cutting the wood is tied to sharpening the blade of the axe. The success or failure of this task is the resultant effect of the decisions you make here after. Incompetence would mean knowing the blade needs to be sharpened but refusing to sharpen it or waiting Read the rest of this entry
Seed Of Excellence
“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was found in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm” Daniel.6:3 [KJV]
Excellence is what sets you apart from average. To excel is to go beyond the ordinary. An excellent person is always preferred and selected above people who are just good. God has placed a seed of excellence in everyone He created. All we need to do is develop that seed up to the fruit bearing stage. Daniel did not become excellent when he interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. His excellence did not start when he interpreted the writings on the wall, Read the rest of this entry
The David Way
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety” Ps.18:2
God does not just want to be the Alpha and Omega to you, He desires to be your Alpha and Omega. It is impossible to have God to yourself alone but you can choose to personalize your every communication with Him. Personalize His Word because guess what? He spoke His Word directly to you. Personalize Read the rest of this entry
Must Have II
“One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the Lord, and the accuser, satan, came with them. Then the Lord asked satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God” Job 1:6, 8-9
What do you think would have happened if Job had been able to listen in to that conversation? Would that have changed Job’s attitude a little bit? What do you think would have happened? I hope you can handle what I am going to share with you next? When we are still worshipping at a rented facility, I heard a conversation that was going to shut the door to getting our own land. In Read the rest of this entry
God Alone!
“You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God” James 4:4.
What guarantees victory over satan is the Word, the Blood of Jesus, and not fearing death. Do you know why islamic militancy appears to be gaining a lot of grounds and terrorizing everybody so far on earth? Firstly, it is because the enemy copies the truth and perverses it. And secondly, it is because they are not afraid to die. The moment you have a leader that is not Read the rest of this entry
How To… V
“So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it” Col.3:12,14 [MSG]
What to “put to on”: “Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with [put on] tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience… Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony” Col.3:12,14 [emphasis added]. Put on tenderhearted mercy; to be Read the rest of this entry
