“Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.” Colossians 3:20 (KJV)     While looking at the family and with love in the air, the children are not left out. One of the reasons why parents must ensure the home is filled with love is to bring up children that will build the society. If the home is not conducive and...

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: ….” Hebrews 13:4 (KJV)     Marriage as ordained by God is a man and a woman coming together by choice. Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” I know that the marriage institution has been abused today, but marriage is still...

 “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Ephesians 5:25 (KJV)     One of the things that I really love the Bible for is the fact that it is complete. There is something about everything in the Bible. As the world celebrates love, it is interesting to know that many are celebrating what they do not know or fully...

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” Ephesians 5:21 (KJV)     Many men are quick to quote Ephesians 5:22 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Forgetting that before verse 22 was verse 21 which says, “submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of the Lord” Submission is not a one-way traffic. Yes, God expects the man to take...

 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 (KJV)     One of the chains the devil puts on mankind is fear. Many are so afraid of God that when any evil thing happens to them, they attribute it to God’s punishment. Beloved, I have come to remind...

“Be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];” - Ephesians 3:18 (AMP)     Today is Valentine’s Day, and all over the world, everyone is celebrating love. Gifts are being exchanged, and different things are being done to commemorate the day. While all of these are good, because...

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. John 3:16     Love is a very interesting phenomenon. The love of man takes, and it is conditional, but the love of God is unconditional. His love reaches out to you first. He loved you before you even realized His love, and...

“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42 (KJV)     No matter what the enemy brings, the Word of God is above it. That is why Jesus said to Martha that Mary has chosen the one needful thing. No matter what the enemy brings, Mary cannot be defeated. Why? She chose the one...

"And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her". Luke 10:41-42 (KJV)     Jesus, according to the scriptures, went into the house of Martha and Mary. Whilst He was there, Mary sat at Jesus' feet, and heard His Word...

“Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven’’ Psalms 119:89. (KJV)     God's Word is not limited by space nor by distance. The Word is never limited. The Word of God is able to reach you wherever you are. “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalms 107:20 KJV)     In a world that is filled with uncertainty, insecurity, hopelessness, and bloodshed, in...
