"And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock and one shepherd." John 10:16 (NKJV)   Today, I want to draw your attention back to the basics-the foundation of our faith and the pillar upon which this Ministry is built. Like Paul, it is also good to call ourselves...

“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:10-11 (KJV)   There are times that success...

“And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD, and great shall be the peace of thy children.”  Isaiah 54:13 (KJV)   One of the things that create great concern for parents, particularly young parents and grandparents is how the children will turn out when they leave home. The level of peer pressure is mind-boggling. Children at a very tender age are exposed to a level...

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)   Leadership actually starts in the home. We are all products of one family heritage or the other. Good family values actually give a child a good head start in life. A child who experiences love in the home is a lot more...

“Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Philippians 2:2 (KJV)   One of the things that we must imbibe and settle in our spirit man is that we are one family. This bears repetition; we are all members of one family. In fact, we are members of one Body. We all make up the Body of...

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV)   The Christian life is a race. But the beautiful thing about this race is that we are not competing against ourselves. We all have our tracks, we all have our assignments and all God demands of us is to be...

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest.” Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)   The scripture above admonishes you to do whatever your hands find to do with all your might. I particularly like how The Message Translation puts it; "Whatever turns up, grab it and do it. And heartily!…...

“Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” Luke 5:4 (KJV) Many people have a wrong idea of accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour and the person to go to them with the real message is you. Some people out there admire the believers but would not join because...

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJV)                                                       A transformed life is not about do's and don'ts. No matter how convinced you are, your personal consecration cannot save a soul. What do I mean by personal consecration? Things like, no make-up, no jewellery, no trousers (for ladies), and the list goes on and on are all about a...

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12 (KJV)   One of the lies of the devil, and it bears repetition, is to put you in a box where you assume that you have nothing to offer. You...
