“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)   When Christians want to fit in, they allow society, environment and peers to define them. People mock their faith, and they accept it. Such believers are going nowhere. Do you want to end like them? Unbelievers are...

“For the which cause I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (KJV)   The believer in Christ has God’s DNA in him. It is, therefore, an aberration to be ashamed because God was never ashamed. From the...

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 (KJV)   The gospel tells us how God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith, not by your efforts. It is God’s own operation. The gospel...

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” 2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)   Beloved, the law was not designed to give life because the letter kills. The Bible calls the law the letter. 2 Corinthians 3:7 says, “But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones was glorious...

“Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23 (KJV)   A man came to Jesus when they were coming down from the mount of transfiguration and said to Him: my son has been in this condition since he was born. I have brought him for your disciples to heal him, but they couldn’t. He further said to Jesus, if there...

“As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, be not afraid, only believe.” Mark 5:36 (KJV)   Jairus, a religious ruler, came to call Jesus when his daughter was at the point of death. He wanted Jesus to lay hands on her so that she would be healed and not die. Jesus said I will go with you. And on...

“And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.” Ruth 1:15-16 (NKJV)   The scriptures are plastered...

“For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:10-11 (KJV)   In my years of ministry, I have observed that many church folks have alternative plans. Child of God, stop having plan B or plan C. Just...

“Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.” Joshua 6:1 (KJV)   Jericho was shut down to ensure no one entered to get his inheritance. Jericho was the city that Israelites would have to conquer to get to their inheritance. The inheritance was there, but they had, first of all, to conquer Jericho.   God told Joshua that Jericho, its kings...

“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” Exodus 14:13 (KJV)   Stop looking at what your circumstances and conditions are saying. I want to declare that what Jehovah has spoken concerning you will...
