 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go bring and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it to you.” John 15:16 (KJV) Beloved, you have been given a divine commission that you should go and bring forth fruit. The Lord...

“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)  The only person Jesus cannot help is the person who refuses to believe. That is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The blasphemy of unbelief. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can neither be forgiven in this world nor...

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” Psalm 23:5 (KJV) Some of you right now are walking through the valley of the shadow of death. It is affecting your health, your finance and your marriage. You have challenges here and there and you think you are alone. God sent me to you...

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:” Matthew 13:31 (KJV) Today, we have a generation who only want to do convenient things. But you can’t build faith on convenience. It is not always convenient to follow God. If I looked at convenience, we will not...

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1 (KJV)  It is not the sheep that choose a shepherd. It is a shepherd that determines who his sheep will be. It is a shepherd that goes to the market buys his sheep, puts them together and begins to shepherd them. David said the Lord is my shepherd. In other words, God chose me. “You have...

And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.” 1 Samuel 16:12 (KJV) One of the things I have been emphasizing for some time now is the fact that God deals with us on the platform of Grace. Grace is the unmerited...

“Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be.” Romans 4:18 (KJV) Abraham found himself in a hopeless situation and yet kept on believing against all hope. There are two kinds of hope in this passage. The first hope is talking about human hope. The natural hope. It is like when...

“The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.” Proverbs 12:27 (KJV) From his hunting, this man has what to eat but because of laziness, he is hungry. He will not roast what he caught. He has what to eat but he is not ready to discipline himself to roast what he had gotten from...

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6. (KJV) As we climax the age, we will need help much more than ever before in today’s battle? We need help! And that help cannot come by man or by human effort....

“And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 (KJV) As I travel the world, I see a lot of struggling among church folks.
