“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His:” Daniel 2:20 (KJV)   Reading through the account in Daniel 2, it is clear that unlike the astrologers, magicians and Chaldeans, who had no answer and no place to turn to for a solution, Daniel knew differently. He knew he had God who reveals deep and secret things. The book of Daniel...

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” 1 Corinthians 2: 6-7 (KJV)   Beloved, it is an established truth that the world today is in a cup...

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (KJV)   Beloved, these are the last days. The world and its leaders have no answers to the social, economic, and political challenges they face. Daily, we are inundated with news of strange happenings and news of disasters across the world. And no one seems to...

“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.” Proverb 2: 6-7 (KJV)   My challenge with many believers today is that we think we can do things the way the world does and still shine as light. This is wrong! You cannot beat the world’s system by using...

“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:17 (KJV)   Child of God, you are no more a servant but a son. Having been adopted into the family of God as a son of the King, you have rights and privileges that automatically accrue to you. As a...

“And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:15 (KJV)   Our Lord Jesus Christ stripped the devil of his rights over us. However, that’s not the end of it. The victory that Christ wrought for you as a believer did not stop with Him stripping the devil of the right to waylay and harass you, He went further...

“And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose”. Nehemiah 8:4 KJV   As we climax the age, it is imperative for every believer to be mindful of what he or she hears from the pulpit. In today’s text, we are told that Ezra stood upon a pulpit. I discovered that the pulpit, the wooden platform where we stand to preach, also...

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)   God wants you to represent Him well in your office. He wants you to conduct yourself as His ambassador at the marketplace and where you ply your trade. The fact that your colleagues act in a certain way where...

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.” 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)   Today, we have a clientele of believers who do not understand the purpose of salvation. Yes, salvation is free. It is God’s gift to mankind. But it came at a...

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 2 (KJV)   God’s paramount desire for you as a believer is the prosperity and health of your spirit, soul and body. He desires that every part of your body should function in the perfection He created. When an individual is sick, everything is put on hold for that...
