“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want”. Psalm 23:1(KJV)   Now I know why David was outstanding. He said the Lord is my shepherd. As I said a few days ago, a shepherd chooses his sheep. Sheep don’t choose their shepherds. When you go to the supermarket saying you will buy multiple items, you choose what you want, and from then on, you take responsibility...

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17 (KJV)   The scriptures tell us in the Book of Genesis Chapter 12 that God went to a heathen land and called out a man by the name of Abram from...

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17(KJV)   One thing guaranteed about you as a child of God is that no matter the barriers the enemies present before you, you can break through them. You have no material for failure! You are unstoppable! In life, there are many...

“And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready." Luke 14:17 (KJV)   From the parable of the great banquet, our text tells that the King made everything ready before sending the invites to the people. When Jesus Christ came and said, “...

“Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.” Isaiah 39:8 (KJV)   Today, as we celebrate fathers, I want to challenge everyone, mothers and children inclusive, to live a life of good legacy. Every action we take does not just affect us; it affects generations coming...

"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Revelation 21:5- 6...

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)   I have come to discover that the more I read the scriptures, the more I find out that we are the ones making God look difficult and complex. You go to God crying every day to be forgiven. Meanwhile,...

“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 (KJV)   Beloved, as believers, we have been called to walk in the light because we are already in the Kingdom of Light. Though this chapter addresses the unbelievers, verse 7 addresses...

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous:” 1 John 2:1 (KJV)   Jesus Christ is our advocate! He is speaking on our behalf and saying: “Father, they are standing based on what I did, not what they did.” Guess what? The Father cannot ignore what...

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)   Under normal circumstances, a teacher does not set examination questions on what he has not already taught his students. God also will not demand anything from you unless He has already equipped you for it. In the Book of Habakkuk 2:4, the Bible declares...
