Rejoice in Challenges!

Rejoice in Challenges!

The Word tells us that all things work together for good for those who love God and who are called according to his purpose – Romans 8:28. When you go through challenges at times, the automatic reaction is to feel bad that this is happening. We wonder at times how this could be happening to us after all we have done for God. However, the Bible tells us: “So be truly glad! There is wonderful ... »

The Power of the Word in Your Mouth

The Power of the Word in Your Mouth

The Word of God tells us that the Lord has the whole of the universe in His Hands. All things in the whole universe are upheld and maintained by the Word of God. This is why nothing in the whole of existence can say ‘no’ to, or disobey the Word of God. Heb 1:3a He is the sole expression of the glory of God, and He is the perfect imprint and very image of God’s nature, upholding ... »

The Quickest Route to Success

The Quickest Route to Success

Joshua 1:8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (NLT) It is very interesting that the Word of God should give the biggest principle for success as the Word of God. It clearly tells us here that the Word of God is the secret for success. This is directly a... »

How To Receive God’s Glory

How To Receive God’s Glory

Romans 12:2; And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. You can’t pour water into a closed drum, nor can you pour water into an already filled drum. You can’t receive anything with your hands closed or occupied.

Giving Your Way Up

Giving Your Way Up

Acts 20:35b It is more blessed to give than to receive. Your seed makes a way for you. The Word tells us in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.” Someone said that you cannot out-give God. You cannot give to Him and lose anything. In other words, you would always get more than what you gave.... »

Faith is Action

Faith is Action

The story of Naaman (2 Kings 5.1-14) is ample evidence that it is when we ACT along with what we are supposed to believe that the power of God works for us. Naaman apparently believed the words of his servant girl that God could use the prophet Elisha to heal him of his ailment. However, his belief alone could not heal him. He went back still sick after the prophet instructed him on the what shoul... »

Fight the Good Fight!

Fight the Good Fight!

The Word says, “Fight the good fight of faith …” (1 Tim. 6:12). If there weren’t any hindrances to faith, there wouldn’t be a fight. When it comes to the natural things, we would fight for what belongs to us. But when it comes to spiritual things, many times we just roll over and play dead! For instance, if someone came to your house and claimed your children and your... »

God is With You

God is With You

God is always with you whether you feel it or not. God’s actions are not based on how you feel, they are based on the word of God. As long as the Lord has ever spoken to you, He would never leave you. The Lord will never let you go. He would always hold on to you and bring His Word to pass. (Genesis 28:15) The blessings of God are permanently yours (Ephesians 1:3). This is not based on how y... »

They Are Better Than Me

Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. Gen 45:4-5 There are times we go through things, and it’s like we seem to think like: “our ... »
