“While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” Mark 5:35-36 (KJV) As a result of the miracle of the woman with the issue of...

  “And He said unto her; Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole, go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Mark 5:34 (KJV) One of the things that make Christianity interesting is the fact that we walk by faith. The book of 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” In the fifth chapter of Mark’s gospel, we see interesting stories...

“And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.” 2 Kings 4:21 (KJV) According to the account in 2 Kings chapter 4, God visited the Shunammite woman through the prophetic word spoken by prophet Elisha. However, soon after the manifestation, the miracle developed a problem. At times, there are some miracles that...

“And he said, about this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.” 2 Kings 4:16 (KJV) Do you know we have people who have confined some prayer requests to the archives? They no longer believe that God can still answer some prayers because they have...

"And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. And the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.” 2 Kings 4:16-17 (KJV)   Beloved, you have to be careful about...

"And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end; that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:11-12(KJV)   God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent. Any promise he makes to you is a...

“Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.”  Hebrews 10:35 (KJV)   I found out that one of the things that hinder us from receiving what God has ordained for us is our inability to hold fast our confidence to the end. Hebrews 3:14 says, “For we are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.”  Now the...

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”  Matthew 24:12 (KJV)   One of the prophetic signs of the end time is that the love of many shall wax cold. That means the fervency and the intensity with which some started serving God will begin to go down. The fire will no more be there in their eyes and their shoulders will no more be...

“Don't you see that children are GOD's best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?” Psalm 127:3 (MSG)      Children are God’s gift to us. Everyone who is a parent today is a caretaker. God has committed a treasure into your hands to nurture to fulfil the purpose and as parents, we must not fail.   The scripture for today is emphatic that children are gifts. How...

“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.” Psalm 91:7 (KJV)   Have you noticed that occultism is very rampant these days? Even little children are going into occultism because they are introducing it in primary and secondary schools.  It is very important, therefore, that you understand and exercise your authority as a believer in Christ....
