“But ye, beloved, building up yourself in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” Jude 1:20 (KJV)   Many believers don’t understand what it means to pray in the Holy Ghost. The Bible says out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38). According to the scriptures, we use the shield of faith to quench the fairy darts of the wicked. Paul was looking at...

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast”. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)   A lot of Church folks are trying to earn the blessings of God. But the truth is that you cannot earn it. It is a gift by grace. Apostle Paul says: “But by the grace of God I am...

“For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the God head bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:9-10 (KJV)   When you gave your life to Christ, something remarkable happened. You now dwell in Him, and He dwells in you. No difference! Christ is the Head of the church. You can’t be talking about the head and then separate...

“When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up, and he shall save the humble person.” Job 22:29 (KJV)   The world we live in today is headed for corruption. That is why we are confronted almost daily with crime, rebellion, anarchy, disobedience and disloyalty. It looks as if the devil is daring our God and asking where our God is. But the good news is...

“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.” Isaiah 54:10 (KJV)   One thing that we must be confident in as children of God, especially in these last days, is that we are partakers of a divine order enacted upon the precious blood...

“And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:23-25 (KJV)   According to the scripture, Jesus is able to save to the uttermost,...

“And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5 (KJV) In Luke chapter 5, we see the account of Peter, who toiled all night and caught nothing. This is an indication that your expertise can fail. Expertise is good, but it has a margin for failure. Therefore, putting your...

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 (KJV)   Whoever is born of God overcomes the world. It is a present continuous statement. In Christ, you are equipped to overcome whatever the world system can offer. When you are born again, you are a world overcomer. A cat gives birth to a cat,...

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 (KJV)   God, in His mercy and love, did not plan for man to live in the bondage of generational curses. That is not His agenda. In some families, no one succeeds in anything. If you put money in their hands, it will...

“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)   A tiger will produce a tiger, and a lion will produce a lion. In the same way, when you are born again, you are born of God, and you become the child of the Most High. That is why Jesus said in...
