We Must Get it Right
There are pastors who believe that if they build a church it belongs to themselves. Even if it was their ‘own’ money that they had used, the church would still belong to God. For the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. Ps.24:1, 1Cor10:26. Some have gone further by collecting monies onRead the rest of this page »
We Need to Get it Right
If we do not get it right, we might not reach anywhere. For except the Lord builds the house, he that labours, labours in vain…. How we were brought up, how we were socialized or even our world view can rob us of the independence or openness needed to serve God properly. Say for instance if we grow up with persons who lieRead the rest of this page »
That’s When We Pray
How many times have we gone before God to say that effectual fervent prayer and have failed? Tiredness and sleep have gotten the best of us or we just can’t focus. Even when we push, instead of a roar, out comes a whimper! We drag ourselves along for months until hurricane season. We are threatened with a direct hit andRead the rest of this page »
Be Ye Good Custodians
Father, let our every thought and action be pure and that we will apply them to ourselves liberally in Jesus’ name. To whom much is given, much is expected and the cattle on a thousand hills is for real, as the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. If we exercise our anointings they will grow, thereby enabling usRead the rest of this page »
Tough Stuff
There are times when we think of and pray for a powerful release in our finances but nothing happens. We know in our hearts that we want to do so much for God, and we know that God knows this also, but still nothing happens…… for weeks, for months or even for years. Lord, maybe that is how you want us toRead the rest of this page »
A Precept of God
For it is giving that we receive. …Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. So when we forgive, we are then forgiven, if we ask. In order for us to attain the best promises of God, we must qualify ourselves. In Isaiah 54:17, God says to his servants, no weapon that is formed against you shallRead the rest of this page »
Advice
The best of advice are sometimes not taken because it is given at the wrong time (when persons are grieving or when they are agonizing over an error they made). Sometimes we need to kill the urgency of the spirit (be patient). We have to literally force ourselves to remember the things we need to do to bring change toRead the rest of this page »
The Young Ones are Impressionable
As parents, we need to help our children select their friends from as early as primary (elementary) school. This should not be done as a means to segregate, nor should we be training them to be pompous or selfish. This is early training for them to recognize good and bad traits in persons, so they can make the right choices. SurelyRead the rest of this page »
Enjoy Your Testings
Our lives on this earth will never be perfect but can always be made better. Ever notice how as soon as we fix one situation, another one arises? The initial reaction is usually one of rejection which leads to miserableness and stress. The sooner we accept any given situation as is and start looking for solutions, the quicker we willRead the rest of this page »
We Can’t Serve God Without Knowing Him
By faith we believe that God exist and if we diligently seek Him we will find Him. He will reward us with himself, Hebrews 11:6. Everytime we oppose a wrong word or action, it is an exercise in faith, Hebrews 11:24. Please read the entire chapter of Hebrews 11. God responds to faith with works, so we cannot say itRead the rest of this page »
