‘’And yet I am strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.’’ Joshua 14:11 KJV     The world we live in today is not favourable so you must consciously make up your mind to stand as you run the Christian race. God sent twelve spies to spy out...

‘’…And a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.’’ Acts 6:7b     Under the Old Covenant, you could not be blessed unless you kept the law to its minutest detail; but in the New Covenant, it is not so. Our obedience is what is known as the obedience of faith. This simply means that Christ through His death, burial and resurrection has obeyed on...

"And Jesus saith unto him, see thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.’’ Matthew 8:4 KJV     As soon as Jesus came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. A leper approached Him knowing He could heal him, but was not sure if He would do so. Jesus...

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.’’ Hebrews 4:1 KJV     Rest is a revelation and as you begin to walk with God’s Word, you will begin to discover that He has not called you to a life of struggle. As a believer, you are wired to function from...

‘’Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgements endureth forever.’’ Psalm 119:160 KJV     In the world we live in today, everything is changing fast. The only thing however that has not and is still constant is the word of God. Every other thing will fail but not the word. Remember that God’s word to Moses was: “go forward.” For as...

‘’I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gate of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron.’’ Isaiah 45:2 KJV     Often, in our walk with God, we get to certain roadblocks and we don’t know what next to do. Today, I come to announce to you to go forward. In Exodus 14, Pharaoh reluctantly gave...

‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge in every place.’’ 2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV     Today, I see Christians who just accept the challenges of their life as their lot and rather than grow restless and break off the yoke, they sit contentedly in that position and just give lame excuses saying: ‘’oh...

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 KJV     Do you realize that you can truly get better in-spite of the setbacks you might be facing right now? The scripture says that the pathway of the righteous is as the shining light, not a dim one. Not only does this light shine,...

‘’Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…’’ 1 Peter 1:18 KJV     The kingdom of God is not a game of convenience. Think of it: Somebody paid the price with His own blood. It is not something you play with; it is serious business. God is calling every believer to a life of sacrifice. I challenge you today...

‘’So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these…?” John 21:15 KJV     Today I want to ask you a few questions. Please be very honest with yourself: What is your driving force for service to God? Is it convenience or conviction? Can God truly depend on you to serve Him whether it is convenient or...
