“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) One of our cardinal points as a Church is the fear of God. Now not fear as running away that He may harm you, rather it is reverence for Him, you acknowledge Him for who He is and joyfully follow Him. That is the fear that God demands from us. Many believers do not...

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1 (NKJV) Whose report do you believe? Do you believe you are who God says you are? Do you believe that His promises are yours? Or do you believe what situations and challenges are saying to you? It does not require faith to believe defeat, failure and lack. You don’t need faith to...

“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” Matthew 9:36-37 KJV From the above scripture, the problem is not the harvest. The world is right now in a cup of trembling and people need...

“And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord” Acts 11:20-21 (KJV) The issue of soul-winning cannot be overemphasised. Thank God you are a man or woman of faith, but if all you use your...

  “But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me.’’ Acts 1:8   NKJV The events of today in our very unstable world confirm that Jesus is coming soon. So, as a child of God, you have a responsibility to witness your faith everywhere you go. Don’t be a secret service Christian. Let people know you...

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”. Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) The only person that decides your fate is you. If you speak well so it is. If you confess starvation, then you have it. If you speak and confess starvation over your life, God will not overrule it because you have what you say....

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 (KJV) If you are using a red-letter edition of the Bible, you will discover that the scripture for today is all in red, this implies that they are words that came from the lips of the Master, Jesus Christ. What this implies is that it is not...

“For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and the Holy Ghost, and much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.” 1 Thessalonians 1:5 (KJV) One of the things you cannot remove from the word of God is the power that is inherent in it. The word of God carries in itself enough...

"I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me".  Psalms 119:19 (KJV) The fact that there is power in a building does not automatically give you light. You have to plug into it, and someone has to turn on the light switch. If that is not done, there will be power in the building but there will be no light in that...

"Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified". Romans 8:30 KJV The God we serve is the Alpha and He is the Omega. He foreknew you and predestinated you to be conformed to the image His Son. Moreover, He has called you, justified you and glorified you. In Christ,...
