“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,” Galatians 4:19   KJV My heart goes out to a major gap in our world today and that is the place of mentoring. We live in a world where everyone is independent. No one wants to submit to another. Everyone wants to do just what he thinks is right in his...

“The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage”. Psalm 16:5-6KJV "I have a goodly heritage". What an assurance! In Christ, you have an inheritance in God. It belongs to you by virtue of the fact that you are born again. The tragedy of the modern-day Christian...

“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 KJV God has already determined a glorious end for you. So, no matter what the challenges are, keep believing. Don’t let anything or anyone distract you from following Him. According to the scriptures, what kept David going was his unflinching faith in the face of daunting challenges....

“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalm 37:25 (KJV) Stop being afraid that things will not turn out well. There is no way you can be stranded. Don't worry yourself! Just stay focused! You will laugh again. Stop looking at immediate challenges around you.  Don't make a permanent decision because of a temporary...

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God”. 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) Child of God, to be a world changer, you must be different from every other person. Don’t play games or look for short cuts. Don’t be a believer only on Sunday and a heathen on Monday. As...

“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1 KJV Enough of Satan's lie to God's people. You have been raised to reveal the glory of God.

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17 KJV Has it ever occurred to you that the reason why the devil is mad at you is because he knows that you are the beloved of God?

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6 KJV Satan operates very strongly in our areas of ignorance. When he sees people that act ignorantly he enjoys it and celebrates. You can...

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalm 27:4 (KJV) For David, there is only one thing that sums up his entire life and his kingship. Intimacy with God! David said one thing...

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.”   Philippians 3:10 (KJV) You really will not have intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ until you know Jesus.
