“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Romans 8:29-30 (KJV)   God already put you in his plan before the world began;...

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” Colossians 1:27 (KJV)   Beloved, God chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world.  Now the question is: How can you be in Christ and you cannot walk in glory?  Christ in you is the joyful confident expectation of...

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:5 (KJV)   I don’t know what you are hoping or believing in God for, but one thing I’m sure of is that you will not be disappointed. Do you know why? It is because God loves you. The New Living...

“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23 (NKJV)   I will liken the above scripture to planting a seed in the ground. After planting, you keep nurturing the seed.  You...

“The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next.” Romans 8:19 (MSG)   Your God is the Almighty, the possessor of all things. Psalms 24:1 says: “The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.” Since everything belongs to your Father, why do you approach Him with a beggarly mindset, asking for little things, when He can give...

“And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.”2 Kings 4:6 (KJV)   Look around you, the rest of the world is making giant strides and taking territories. So why would believers who have the dominion mandate, do any less?...

“So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.”1 Samuel 17:50 (KJV)   David confronted Goliath and obtained victory. Don’t forget that though David was not a trained soldier, he had enough audacity and courage to confront Goliath. All the ‘mighty men of war’ were terrified...

“For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.” Acts 27:23-24 (NKJV) In God’s dealings with us as His children, we must leave Him in His exclusive class and keep walking...

“And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:48 (KJV)   Whatever you tolerate in your life has the capacity to grow and overwhelm you. If you tolerate mediocrity as a young person, that is what would characterize your life. If you must experience...

“As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him.” 1 Samuel 17:48 (NLT)   I am challenging you today to move out of that place of complacency. This year must be filled with outstanding testimonies for you. This year must answer to you. I am looking forward to hearing about your great exploits. For this to happen, you must arise. Albert Einstein once...
