“……Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’’ Luke 18:5 (KJV)   In my walk with God, I have discovered that fulfilment in life is not the exclusive preserve of a special privileged few, but rather it is available to all who know and dare to appropriate their rights in Christ. I want you to understand that...

“Let us, therefore, come (boldly) to the throne of grace, that we may (obtain) mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)   The text above is a very familiar one, and even though we readily quote it, sometimes we get too familiar with the scripture that we miss the import of the words. Let me point out two words to you:...

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV)   Beloved, I have come your way today to let you know that because you are blessed, you can never lose. You are not cursed but blessed. God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings. By blessing, God means every blessing...

“For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us.” 1Corinthians 2:12 (TPT)   In the book of John from chapter 13, during the feast of the Passover, Jesus was engaged in a discussion with His disciples about His journey to the cross and all...

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 (KJV) If you are in the company of those who believe that a woman's position is in the kitchen and that she should not talk you need to change. Genesis 1:27 says that God created man in his own image, in the image...

“I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it, and God does it so that they fear before Him.” Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJV) The book of Ecclesiastes 3:14: says “I know that whatsoever God doeth….” The clincher in that scripture is: “whatsoever God doeth.” In other words, if God is the ‘doer,’ I am not...

“And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail, recover all.” 1Samuel 30:8 (KJV)   One of the things the believer should not take for granted is a quality time of fellowship with God. When you spend time before God, He opens unexpected doors for...

“Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6 (KJV)   I have found out that when God goes ahead of you, you are only just gliding into what He is already doing; and it removes every pressure from you. You don’t need to go to bed thinking, anxious and developing undue high blood...

“And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.”  2Samuel 5:19 (KJV)   David was the most successful king in Israel. He never lost any battle. In 2Samuel 5:17, the Philistines came against him. Before anything, David...

“The righteous cry and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” Psalm 34:17 (KJV)   Many people are wondering why they have not succeeded. “Why did things not fall through for me?” They are quick to ask. My question is: Are you hooked up with God or are you doing your own thing? Do you take time to inquire from God in the place of prayer,...
