“For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;” Job 19:25 (NKJV)   All through the scriptures, you will find out that the Bible talks about our redeemer. He is not a weakling. Our redeemer is strong. Your redeemer can be touched with the feeling of your infirmities. He can identify with where you are. He knows the tears you...

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose”. Romans 8:28(KJV)   As a believer, your prayer life should be more of thanksgiving. Have you noticed something about the life of Jesus? Amid His greatest challenges, He always gave thanks. To feed five thousand was a challenging situation because the Jews...

“As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him; and established in the faith, as ye have been taught; abounding therein with thanksgiving”. Colossians 2:6-7 (KJV)   Apostle Paul declares in the book of Colossians: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,...

“Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven”. Judges 16:22 (KJV)   I am glad the story of Samson did not end in shame. His strength came back to him even though he messed up. So also, your strength is coming back to you. How did I know that Samson’s strength came back? The Bible says when the hair began to...

“And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.” Judges 16:19 (KJV)   Today, I want to ask you a very important question. Where are you resting? Are you resting in what the newspapers say or what...

“The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself; God I thank there that I am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.” Luke 18:11-12 (KJV)   Always come to God based on what Jesus did; not what you did. There is nothing that you do that can...

“Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him”.  Esther 6:13 (KJV)   Do you remember the story of Esther and how Haman...

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. Romans 8:14 (KJV)   I see a lot of deception going on today in the name of church and ministry. A lot of self-acclaimed Prophets are all over town. They will tell people what they want to hear and extort money from them. I feel for such people who are...

“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)   You cannot have God as your foundation and then fail in life. It is not possible! He is the Alpha and Omega. Some of us are fighting for what we...

“And she said, these six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, go not empty unto thy mother in law”. Ruth 3:17(KJV)   I am tired of people who go for church services and all-night prayers, then when the chips are down and the battle rages, they fall like a pack of cards. That will not be your portion. In the book of...
