“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...

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof " Proverbs 18:21 KJV In my many decades of ministry, I have come to understand the power of the spoken word. Wherever you find yourself, please do not join those discussing how bad things are, because when you do that, you would be cursing yourself. I can tell...

“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 KJV To be blessed means to be empowered to succeed. As long as you are in Christ, you have been empowered to succeed. Galatians 3:13 says that "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for...

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did pre-destine to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestine, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Romans 8:29-30 KJV I remember when we wanted to dedicate our church building and...

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory”. Colossians 1:27 KJV The word ‘Glory’ is from the root word ‘doxa’; meaning ‘manifest presence.’ Another root word is ‘Kabod’, meaning heavyweight. It means that you are a heavy-weight. Your words are weighty. Where the word of the king is,...

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour" Psalm 8:4-5 KJV Today, I am glad to announce to you that God has chosen to honour you. Honour speaks of dignity. Honour speaks of reputation and something precious. You are...

“For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come” 1 Timothy 4:8 KJV Recently, I was watching some ladies playing football and it occurred to me that those ladies do a lot of exercise. You see, the Word of God is complete. The Bible says that bodily exercise profits little...

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10: 19 KJV In Matthew 10:1, Jesus Christ sent out the disciples and gave them power over unclean spirits and over all manner of sicknesses and diseases. They all went and performed wonders. But those disciples, as at...
