“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,...

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13 (KJV)   God has put a responsibility on you to find out what He is building. That is something that we hardly do. He is not...

“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)   In this scripture, there are three categories of people. The Visionary, The Reader and The Runner. The visionary is someone who gets the vision and he has to write it. The scripture says make it plain upon tables that he may run...

  “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”  Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) It is important that you find out what God’s agenda is concerning a thing so that you don’t run in vain. Once you find out, you discover that the many days and months you spend in waiting will be recovered. It could be that...

“And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat, and they made him drink water.” 1Samuel 30:11 (KJV) On their return from an expedition, when David and his men came to Ziglag; their wives, sons, daughters and goods had been taken captive. David and his men lifted up their voices and wept until they had...

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20 (KJV)   There are people in the church that as soon as they experience some blessing, they will not be seen again in the church. That is when they remember every other commitment outside the church: they think of friends, family, work and put all before...

“Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides.” Psalm 119:89, 90 NKJV In Christ, expect the blessing to pursue you because the lines are fallen unto you in pleasant places. So, whenever you are confronted with any challenge, just know that that challenge will pass because that is not your heritage. God will meet you at...

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV When Jesus was about to go to the Cross, He told the disciples that in Him they will have peace. 'Peace' is from the Hebrew word 'Shalom'.
