“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 (KJV)   Yesterday, we learned that we are God’s priority and like I said yesterday if you truly understand it, your immediate reaction will be to make Him your priority too.   What does it mean to make God your priority? The scripture for today makes it...

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” Ephesians 1: 4 (KJV) You see, the reason you have to make God your priority is that first of all, God has made you His priority. God is committed to you. One key bible truth that you must understand and...

“And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16 (kjv)   One of the challenges of the believer today is the lack of understanding of all that is available in Christ. Child of God, you do not wait until you get to heaven to function in His fullness. You have His fullness NOW and not in the future. That is what the...

“And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's” 2 Chronicles 20:15 (kjv)   Until you understand that the battle you face in our journey of faith is not your battle, but the Lord’s battle,...

“And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” Genesis 22: 2 (KJV) When you understand who God is to you, there will be no struggle when it comes to honouring Him or giving...

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” - Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Today, we are surrounded by different events with the capacity to distract us from following Him who not only called us but paid the...

“Honour the LORD with thy substance, And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:” Proverbs 3:9 (KJV)   It is interesting how believers find it convenient to argue about tithing and claim it is Old Testament, just because they do not want to part with money. If you understand the concept of honour, giving to God will be a delight for you.   You will be shocked how many...

“And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you?” Joshua 18:3 (KJV)   In our scripture for today, Joshua, in essence, was saying to the children of Israel: how long will you continue to wait? Why are you vacillating?  Why are you sitting down and watching the enemy take...

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28 (KJV)   According to our text, God blessed man.  Adam had not asked for anything. But God blessed him....

“And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed” Luke 17: 14 (KJV)   This story is very interesting, and I believe God allowed it to be a part of the Bible to encourage someone today – no matter what you are going through, don’t cancel yourself out. Firstly,...
