"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you". Matthew 6:33 KJV. It was God's idea to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. And throughout the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, Jehovah took care of them. They never went farming! When they needed meat, He gave them meat. When they needed...

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17. KJV God’s children have been beaten down for too long. And until you begin to take your rightful place as a Prince, you cannot truly have the victory. The devil wants you to keep doubting what God has already perfected in eternity. For he knows that...

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure”. Psalm 2:4-5 KJV It is disappointing how some Christians reason. Do you know that some people think that God reacts?  They think that the devil would fire his best shot and God would be wondering:  what...

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand”. Psalm 37:23-24 KJV From our scriptural reference for today, you will see that when the righteous falls, God is able to uphold him and He ensures that he comes back. We...

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV In our walk with God, we see all kinds of challenges. You see people who can actually conceptualize, but they never actualize anything. They dream and then the dream never comes through. They run with others and...

“Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Isaiah 28:16 KJV One of the things I notice in our walk with God is that whenever your moment of breakthrough comes, it appears that all hell breaks loose. And this is a...

“So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” Romans 9:16 KJV There is a ‘God factor’ for the believer. I know it because I have seen this God do awesome things. If the devil had power, he could have killed me even before I came into Ministry. No one gave me a chance to...

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”. 1 John 5:4 KJV Beloved, you are a world overcomer.  Many believers today do not understand the power they have. When you understand the Bible, you know that you are carrying power. You are carrying what the enemy has no answer to. Forever, the Word...

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all". Psalm 34:19 KJV   Often times, I get excited as I read the Bible. When it looks like the enemy has scored a point, then suddenly, you just see two words "but God". That means that God, in His own exclusive class, has intervened in the case. Many are the afflictions...

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved their lives unto the death”. Revelation 12:11 KJV The God we serve is good, His blessings are sorrow free. At times, some of the things I hear among Christians are shocking, in the sense that they probably don’t know the God they serve. You ought to sit down and...
