The Gospel
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised’ Luke 4:18 [KJV]
A colleague of mine said that in Nigerian churches there is too much warfare. They are constantly praying against the devil. Everything is fall down and die. Everything cannot be falling down and dying. If every thing is to fall down and die, then all of us will not be here today. While there is nothing necessarily wrong with praying violently, but there is an abuse of it. My colleague was insisting that in the United Kingdom, they never had to pray like that. And I said the demons we are facing here are different from the ones in the Read the rest of this entry
Know The Truth
‘Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth’ 3 John 1:2 [KJV]
You are rich! Some people have a problem with Christians prospering, have you noticed? People criticize Christians for prospering, saying all sorts of things because of the abuse in the church and rightly so. The truth is, everything that God has blessed man with, man has abused. God saw Adam in the garden and said it is not good that man should be alone; I will give him a wife [a help meet]. And men continue today to Read the rest of this entry
We Are The Church I
‘But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it’ James 1:25
‘But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today’ Deut.8:11. As we proceed in the Year, we must remember that God does not expect us to forget all that He taught us in the past. Over the next few days we are going to be highlighting seven important reminders as 2014 progresses. Read the rest of this entry
God Sees The Heart!
‘Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve’ Prov.24:12.
Do you care what God says about you? David survived all the negativity directly channeled at him and as a result his house became stronger and stronger but the house of Saul became weaker and weaker. This was because of David’s greatest asset – his heart. David kept the integrity his heart. If there is anything you need to guard with all your life in your walk with God, it is your heart. Jealousy, anger, theft, murder, fornication, wealth, wisdom, even the pure Read the rest of this entry
Heart Check IX
‘One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive – anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”’ 2 Sam.9:1.
A Loyal heart. David’s heart was loyal. Sadly, loyalty is something that is becoming very scarce as the years goes by. But it is something that is always rewarded by heaven. David had a loyal heart, even to his dead friend Jonathan [2 Sam.9:1]. Imagine that, Jonathan was dead but David remained loyal to him. Many people are only loyal to people that they can get value from later. People are loyal only to people that they can get something from. So for a lot of Read the rest of this entry
Waiting Time V
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return’ Matt.25:13.
A lot of people are saying, when will Jesus come? Will Jesus really come? It is taking a long time. Listen, the issue is not whether Jesus will come or not because Jesus will come. The issue is will you be ready? The best time to get ready is now for that next thing you are trusting and waiting on God for. When is the best time to get ready? The best time is now. Why? Take note, the light is about to change. Preparation matures us for the vision. Like someone said, “it is not enough to do the right thing, you must do the right thing for long enough”.

Your Heart
‘The Lord your God will change your heart and the hearts of your descendants, so that you will love him with all your heart and soul and so you may live!’ Deut.30:6.
Many of us have experienced those seasons where your heart questions ‘what is God doing? He is not answering prayers any more’. And it seems as though the wait is forever. Some of us opt to look for an alternative or better still do things ourselves. The truth? You are short changing yourself. David said, ‘I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed [his children] begging bread’. You and your children, and your children’s children will be taken care of by the Most High God in Jesus Read the rest of this entry
Be Wise
‘There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears’ Phil.1:6 [MSG].
The Potter is never in a hurry to finish one piece and move unto the next one. The Potter has a timetable for every piece, a timetable for the thoughts and plans He has for it. He is concerned about the future functionality of that piece and its durability. So, even when others think the work is complete or the clay itself is asking to be taken off the wheel, He knows to slow it down and take a look at it from all sides. What is He looking for? He is looking for cracks, air bubbles, and Read the rest of this entry
In His Eyes
‘Then the Lord gave me this message: “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.’ Jer.18:5-6.
In this verse, God refers to Himself as the Potter and refers to us as the clay. What is clay? Clay is worthless dust. God says to Israel that as the clay is in the hands of the potter so Israel [which is us] is in His hands. There are two forces at play in pottery making. The first is the intent of the potter [his desire or what he intends to create]. And the second thing is the readiness of the clay. Every potter in the creativity of His mind knows what He wants to make out of the clay that is before Read the rest of this entry
Beyond Limits
‘Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem’ John 4:21.
While every human being has a loving heart towards some people, almost every human being has a list of people that they cannot stand. It could be the person that cost you your job, or the person that took your spouse, it could be the person that stole your money, or someone who was nasty to you, or the person that cost you your business. Sometimes it is that class of the ‘un-liked’ that God Read the rest of this entry
