It was not supposed to last."But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory...

“Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return.” Luke 6:38 (TPT)   One major area the devil has lied to the church is in giving. People are cool...

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” John 8:32 (KJV)   When you allow facts to govern your life rather than the truth, you will end up living a life of stress, anxiety, worry, and defeat. Facts are real. It can be a fact that you are sick in your body. It can be a fact that you do not have...

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 (KJV)   The world’s system of operation will not agree with our topic because everyone wants the Number one position, even if it requires betrayal and breaking of covenants. You will be surprised at how many good relationships have been destroyed on the altar of personal interests. Servanthood set John the Baptist apart from all other prophets of...

“And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 10:17 (KJV)   For too long sin had been a big issue for the believer, and this should really not be so. I can understand when an unbeliever is battling with sin and is always sin conscious, that is okay for the unbeliever. However, the believer who is always conscious of sin needs to receive a...

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10: 13 (KJV)   Do you know why believers rejoice? It is because we have better hope. If the trumpet sounds, we are off.

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 (KJV)   Jesus knew that the world is filled with evil. He knew that the world is filled with challenges, difficulties, and pressures. And so, He prayed for the Church. "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from evil. They are not of the world,...

“I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.”  Psalms 119:162 (KJV)   The Passion Translation of our scripture for today says: “Your promises are the source of my bubbling joy; the revelation of your word thrills me like one who has discovered hidden treasure.” And of course, it is more than great spoils. Why? The Word can heal! The Word can deliver! The Word...

“But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.” Matthew 25:9 (KJV)   Don’t give out what you need for your survival. You must tell yourself one home truth. You are not El-Shaddai. There is a limit to which you can help somebody.  There are things you cannot...

"And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.” Matthew 25:8-9 (KJV)   Opportunity will never tell you the exact time it will knock at your door. Opportunities have a...
