“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” 2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV) The truth about life is that you will always be stressed up, and you will always face anxiety. You will always face difficulties. The fact that you are going through challenges does not mean that God has turned His back...

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28 (KJV) You have the victory over the devil and everything that he can bring against you. Ever before he shows up, your God has already shown up. According to the scripture: “In the beginning, God created the heaven...

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18 (KJV) No believer is limited. Resources exist in the realm of the spirit that every believer can draw from to confront the things that they face in the physical realm. That is the edge that the believer has over the world. If the believer is...

“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) My concern these days is when the born-again and spirit-filled Christians get to function like the world, react like the world, and talk like the world. Sometimes when you hear some believers talk, you ask yourself where is the...

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) We are living in a time in the history of mankind when we are faced with overwhelming circumstances. If you are not seeing the events of the world as very challenging, then maybe you live on another planet. There are pressures here and there. There are difficulties here...

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, When my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2 (KJV) There is no situation that you are going through that God cannot resolve. Jesus is the answer to any issue that can ever confront you. When Christ came, He paid the price for everything that the enemy...

“And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” Luke 1:18 (KJV) We give too much heed to human intelligence over and above the word of God. That is why the world has been going through so much shaking. The word of God is not meant to be argued. It is...

“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) The word of God remains unshakeable. Therefore, God expects us to base our judgments and decisions in life on the word of God rather than on the wisdom of men. You must learn to act like Jesus who was asleep in the boat in the middle of the storm. He knew that nothing will...

“And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.” Acts 23:11 (KJV) The Psalmist says: “I have seen an end of all perfection: But thy commandment is exceeding broad.” (Psalm 119:96 KJV) This means that no matter how good a man is,...

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:5 (KJV) Like never before, our position and relationship with the Lord must be clearly defined so that we may be able to withstand the vicissitudes of life. It must not be based on popular opinions or convenience. This has nothing to do with professional advice because...
