Then, a message from the...

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Exodus 3:14 (KJV)   One of the challenges I have with people as I go preaching all over the world is that they fail to put God in His own exclusive class. God is not a man! Man has limitations,...

“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 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.

“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.

“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.
