“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8 (KJV). Your philosophy of life is your value and your standard. It is your value that motivates you to do what you do. If you allow the world to mould your philosophy, you are not going anywhere. And...

“But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.’’ Psalm 130:4 (KJV) It is God’s forgiveness that causes us to fear Him. It is not His judgment. This sounds contradictory. I thought that you take people for granted when they easily forgive. I thought that it was the man with the cane that is feared and not the one with a heart of love....

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 (KJV) Keep walking boldly, with your shoulders raised high because there is now no condemnation for you in Christ. No adjudging guilty of wrong to those who are in Christ Jesus. If there was any time you needed to walk in...

“Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.” Genesis 41:14 (KJV) The word of God says: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous...

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30 (KJV) I encourage you today to begin seeing yourself as God sees you so you can genuinely rule and reign in life. For so long, many believers have lived as if God was waiting around the corner with a hammer, watching to...

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV) Child of God, understand the fact that Jesus is wealthy! Therefore, you cannot but desire wealth. When you wake up, expect only good to come to you. What is good is your...

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) You must never stop declaring your expectations because the verdict is yours. If there is any time to hold on to the confession of your faith, it is now. Now is the time to stand your ground until you see the manifestation of your...

“And he brought us out from thence that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers” Deuteronomy 6:23 (KJV) Our text today reveals a fundamental principle in the dealings of God with His own people. And that is: He brings out to bring in! He does not bring you out to leave you hanging. In other words, God...

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV) Stop looking at the things which the devil is bringing against your life. Whatever he is doing or showing you is for a moment; it will soon...

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV) Every believer has the spirit of faith. God gave you the spirit of faith the day you were born again. So, when the enemy begins to tell you that it is not working, open your mouth and...
