He Is With You

In that situation … the Lord’s hand is not too short to help you. His eyes are not shortsited to see you. His love is not so cold not to help you out. His feet and power are not too slow not to be there on time. He would be there for you. When we go through challenging situations, it is very easy sometimes to forget that God has promised us rest all around us. However, this is a fact. What the devil wants is for us to forget this and start getting carnal. This is a very wrong thing to do though, as the Lord promises us salvation every time, and in every situation! The Bible says Isa 49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break out into singing, O mountains; for the Lo... »

Walking in the Light!

When we walk in the light of the life of God in us, miracles result! One of the greatest miracles I have ever seen along these lines happened in a church I pastored. One of my Sunday School teachers told me, concerning her oldest child, “I sent her to school seven years in the first grade. She couldn’t even learn to write her name. The school authorities asked me if I would take her out of school. She never got out of the first grade.” She was a big 14-year-old girl playing with little 7 year olds, so they had to take her out. They had no state school (we’re talking about the 1930s, the Depression days). They had no special classes. The only kind of school they had in... »

Folorunsho Alakija, the richest black woman in the world (no, it’s not Oprah) who covered the second edition (December 2013/January 2014) of Forbes Africa Woman has an amazing story. Before the magazine declared her the richest black woman in the world, many knew Mrs Folorunsho Alakija as a creative designer with the Supreme Stitches label, which she later named Rose of Sharon Creations. She’s also the Executive Director of Famfa Oil and Visioneer of Rose of Sharon Foundation, an NGO that caters for widows and orphans in Nigeria. She added another feather to her cap penultimate Saturday as she was conferred with an honorary doctoral degree in Business Administration at the University of... »

The ‘Must’ of the Word

A few days ago, I could hardly sleep. I woke up thinking on the Word and unable to stop it. Coming up in me was Isaiah 55:10. I opened it my Bible and read: Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall CERTAINLY do what I sent it to do. As I read the revelation of God’s Words came into my spirit. The Word of God is a program. It is not a surprise when you put on your computer and it boots. It w... »

Seated On The Throne!

John Great March 17, 2014 Miscellaneous 0

First Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” We are one with Christ. We are with and in Christ. We are seated at the right hand of the Majesty on High. All things have been put under our feet. The thing is, we’ve preached a “cross” religion; we need to preach a “throne” religion. By that I mean that people have thought they were supposed to remain at the cross. Some have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, have backed up to the cross, and have stayed there ever since. We’ve sung “Near the cross, near the cross.” Yes, we need to come by the cross for salvation, but we don’t need to rema... »
