“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...

“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: But the earth hath he given to the children of men.” Psalm 115:16 (KJV)   God made the heaven of heavens for Himself, and the earth had He given to the children of men. In other words, God says I am in charge in heaven, but I am going to make a place called earth, and I will give...

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV)   The reason why man was made in the image of God is for man to represent God here on earth. We are not here to represent the devil. We have no business giving room to the devil to function on earth....

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not.” Lamentations 3:22 (KJV)   Beloved, if you can think, then you can thank. Just stop and think of all that has happened in your life this year. Think of the overwhelming storms you have passed through. Think of the mighty deliverances. Many went through less than half of what you have...

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (KJV)   I have come to announce to you that you have already overcome even before the battle began. Jesus made it clear that He had already overcome the world and its systems so...
