“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...

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJV) We are called to be like Christ. That is the ultimate goal of Christianity. Our primary focus should be to be like Christ, and it should be seen in our deeds and our speech. It is only then that what we say will produce power...

“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV) There was chaos and darkness everywhere. And what did God say? “Let there...

“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” Ephesians 6:15 (KJV) God did not save you just so that you will go to heaven. Your salvation is relevant now for the kingdom. Christ gave us eternal life and He is the life-giver. When we receive Christ and become like Him, we are also called to be givers of life or dispensers of...

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 (KJV) God has testified that He has given us eternal life. Eternal life is not talking of length of time but God’s kind of life. This is what we received in Christ Jesus. The...

“Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace!” Ephesians 2:5 (TPT) You have a great future ahead of you. It does not matter that things may appear very dark and bleak right now, God is committed to a glorious future ahead of you. The book of Jeremiah...

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” Ephesians 2:5 (KJV) You always need to arm yourself with the truth so that your faith can be grounded. You are not a Christian simply because you have a car. What makes you a Christian is not because you have a house or you have a husband or...

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!” Ephesians 2:4-5 (NLT) Christianity is not what you do to be acceptable to God, but what God did for us to...
