“For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2 KJV In all that we do, if Jesus is not the focus, then we have lost it all. It is all about Jesus.  Paul said he was determined not to know anything else, except Jesus, and Him crucified. This is the reason for life. As a matter of...

"And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17 KJV When it was time for Jesus to begin His ministerial assignment, the first thing God the Father did was to affirm Him: You are my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 KJV The love of God knows no bound.

"We love him because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 KJV The Church must begin to leverage on the love of God for her. It is the love of God that draws people to God, not His holiness!

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” Ephesians 1:4 KJV Beloved, God chose you.

“Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I chose you. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work.

That tells you right away that you are not an...

“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:15 KJV The knowledge of the Most High and the things of the Kingdom is a knowledge that passes all knowledge. It is the knowledge that the Church should possess. When we understand as we ought to, the Body of Christ will be positioned for exploits. A lot of things concerning this have...

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 One of the greatest weapons of the devil is deception, and he uses it to attack God’s people. He comes to intimidate you, put you under pressure and gives you an impression that you are in trouble. Unfortunately, because a lot of people are ignorant, they fall for his deception and...

“And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?” Judges 6:14 KJV Beloved, even in the midst of your seeming limitation, there is might inside you that you need to release.
