“And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” Genesis 32:26 KJV   Beloved, it is never in the will of God for the Church to always be the one coming behind. It is not what others have dropped on the ground that we the church should be struggling to get. We are...

“And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on.” Genesis 28:20 KJV    In Genesis 28:10-22, Jacob had a supernatural experience and the Lord said to him: “You are going to break forth to the south, north, east and west.” God was saying...

“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” Genesis 12:2 KJV   Child of God, Jesus did not die for us as a Church just to enjoy surviving. If the reason Jesus died is just for us to have mere possessions, then we have failed. God has bigger plans for...

“The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.”  Proverbs 12:27 KJV   When I look at the way some Christians function, I can tell that such a believer is going nowhere.  Those who want to make it in life do not just sit down and expect things to fall on them like a bag of...

“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:18 (KJV)   The church is the body and Christ is the head; both are one! You cannot say God sees the Head which is Christ as perfect and the body- the Church as imperfect. You cannot say...

“At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.” Luke 14:17 NIV   When Jesus Christ came and said, “it is finished,” He absolutely meant it is finished. The debt you owed that made the enemy put you in bondage is fully settled. The debt you owed that made him deny you of...

 “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” 2 Peter 1:19 (KJV)   God is a God of purpose, plan, design, and objectivity. There is no accident with Him. Even with whatever is happening in the...

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV     I know that you know this scripture off heart and with your eyes closed, you can open to it in your Bible. That is very good but do you believe it? Do you know for sure that God...

“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” Job 36:11 KJV     It is one thing to pray; it is quite another to listen and receive instructions from His mouth. However, as good as this is, if you do not obey the word, then it is all efforts in futility. I wrote a book many years ago...

"Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart.” Job 22:22 NKJV     To ensure that you are rightly positioned to receive all that God has in store for you, you must declare His word daily like we read yesterday. Remember, faith comes by hearing the Word of God.    The next thing to do if you must enjoy the exceeding abundant promises that...
