“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame”. 1Corinthians 15:34 (KJV) People don't believe they have heard a solid preaching until you literally “beat” them on their heads and tell them how sinful and how bad they are, how terrible the sins they had committed and how evil they are. And people call that...

“For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Hebrews 10:14 KJV. According to the scripture the last Adam is Jesus. "And so, it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit" (1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV). Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. He came to put a permanent...

“And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise”. Galatians 3:29 KJV. In order to understand our heritage in Christ, we need to understand the principle of representation. Adam represented mankind. And so, when Adam fell, he fell with everything he carried. And he handed everything he carried over to his son. So, everything he carried, his son also carried. What...

“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect”.  Hebrews 11:39, 40 KJV. God did marvellous and powerful things through the people listed as heroes of faith in the book of Hebrews. By faith, these people earned a good reputation. By faith, the heroes...

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning”. James 1:17 KJV You have a good heritage. The rights that you have are good. The blessing of the Lord makes you rich and it does not add any sorrow, to it. Your heritage is an inheritance that belongs to you...

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. Matthew 3:17 KJV God desires that you walk by revelation. He desires you walk in the revelation of who you are and what you carry. So, God the Father gave His Son - Jesus the revelation of His identity. Likewise, God wants you to have a revelation of who you are and...

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest”. Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV) I particularly like how the Message translation puts it; “Whatever turns up, grab it and do it. And heartily...

He said, "Come ahead". Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus” Matthew 14:29 (MSB) In Christ, the believer is an overcomer. In Christ, the position of the believer is above only. Like Peter, many of us, as the Message translation describes in Matthew 14:29, “jumped out of the boat” with the word. However, the important question now is: Are you still holding on...

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” Matthew 14:30 (KJV) Today, I have come to charge you to refuse to be distracted, regardless of the form or appearance of the distractions. More especially in this day and age where so many things are happening concurrently, refusing distractions is necessary, if you will achieve anything tangible. Our...

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory”: 1Corinthians 2:7 (KJV) There are times that you are faced with complex issues and you need to resolve them. What this scripture is saying is that there is a wisdom that has been ordained for your glory. This wisdom will enable you to resolve that seemingly...
