“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew  26:28   KJV   The above statement was made by Jesus Christ when He was instituting the communion. He was showing us the fact that the cross dealt with sin once and for all. We are forgiven because of the blood. All records were wiped out and incinerated by the...

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” Ephesians 1:7 KJV   Sin is the mother of all tragedies. If the issue of sin is not dealt with, you cannot receive from God. Even when the blessings of God are being offered to you, you will disqualify yourself. Colossians 1:13-14 says: “Who hath delivered us from the power of...

“I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”  Isaiah 43:25 KJV   Our text today says God has blotted out your transgressions for his namesake and that He does not remember them again. He did it for His own sake. “Sins” in this context is not just the nature but also the actions.  That is why it...

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son; in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14 KJV   One of the greatest disasters we suffered as a result of the fall of man and which, unless it is dealt with once and for all, will affect whatever we receive from...

“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26 KJV   Whenever you approach the communion table, remember Jesus said we should do this in remembrance of Him. At the communion table, remind yourself that Jesus died. Remind yourself that the price that needed to be paid has been paid. He died and redeemed you....

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me” Matthew 14:30 KJV     God wants to give you an expected end. So, that should be your focus. However, the question is what end are you expecting? You must be selective about what you are expecting. You must not join the rest to parrot how bad the nation is....

“Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 KJV   Beloved, stop being anxious no matter what! When you are anxious and worried you can't enjoy the peace of God. And the peace of God...

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 5:1 KJV     There are two types of peace. One is the type that every person who is an unbeliever needs to have because anyone who has not made Christ the Lord of his life is at war with God and he will never win! How can you fight your creator and win? However, the...

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)   Yesterday, we looked at relying on God. Beloved, it is not a difficult thing for God to lift up His children beyond their wildest expectations. As you...

“Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.” Exodus 14:30 (KJV)   I come your way this morning to assure you that the God you serve is able to protect and uphold you in spite of all the onslaughts of the enemy against your life. As a believer, you must realize that...
