Bitterness causes us to fail to enjoy of the grace of God. It stirs up trouble in our lives and those connected to us and it defiles others. Regardless of the justifiable reason one may have to be bitter it destroys beyond what one would imagine. Get rid of bitterness.

How would a President react to find a picture of an animal in a state office with the inscription " His Excellency ..."? Idolary is ascribing something God made as God. The soldiers who witness the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, show to deny it because of money. Judas, Gehazi, Balaam and many others messed up their lives because they made money their idol. The idol of money is one we cannot...

Idolatry provokes God's jealously. An idol is anything God gives us that we can't give back to him. It is what we sacrifice for that is not God. Idolatry is the most irrational act; despite the first hand experience the Israelites had they decided to worship a calf from jewelry God gave them and they made.

Listen to the other side before judging. It is no doubt that there are many circumstances we do not and can not control. However, some of the predicament people experience often leaves us wondering how there could be a good God ruling in the affairs of men. We forget that having a will is not only a privilege but a responsibility. How did the great king Saul have a terrible end to an amazing oppor...

It takes humility to be an imitator and it will cost you humility to enjoy anything and everything God has for you. If Jesus could not escape the humility test to be exalted neither will we. That great image of the future you have will cost you humility. Be humble!

There are many false teachers and prophets. We need to be attentive and guard jealously what we expose ourselves to. We need to realize the responsibility we have to ensure that we be no longer children toss to and from by every wind of doctrine

There are many false teachers and prophets. We need to be attentive and guard jealously what we expose ourselves to. We need to realize the responsibility we have to ensure that, we be no longer children toss to and from by every wind of doctrine.

The cruelty in this life can leave us feeling empty and hopeless. This causes some to fall into the lie that there is notthing left in this life. Sadly, this leads some to take their own lives. There is always something vaulable that remains. God is reminding us that He is a God of the remnant. Watch over what remains.

Prayer is common to all religions but unique for the Christian. It is the only religion (so to call it) that demands that prayer goes beyond a platform for making request and a meeting of an obligation, but an avenue to have a personal relationship with our Deity. Don't allow yourself to be too familiar with prayer that you despise the power therefore nor should you turn it into mere religious obl...

A study on the first chapter of James reveals that no one just falls into sin. This is why we need to be on the constant look out concerning temptation. The people that witness the strange acts of God fell into the sin of unbelief. The couple that had a unique relationship with God fell into the sin of disobedience. The anointed Cherub that coverth fell. We are never above temptation, therefore wa...

We need to be attentive, observant, awake, take heed and be on the look regarding several aspects our walk with God. First of all, it's because we do not know the timings of God. We miss out on many good things God has for us, because we are not on the look out for God.

The eleventh book of Hebrews shows us some mighty works of faith. Many of us would not regard such acts as great faith. For us, faith is all about getting us food to eat and clothes to wear. People who don’t know God as father and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Be careless in His care

The calculations we do trying to figure out how things will work out makes us anxious and not trust God as we should. We forget that our ways are not his ways and though life may seem as a series of boring events, not so with a life committed to God. We will be amazed to know that every aspect of your life was ordered by the Lord. You end is glorious!

The Christian walk is a walk of faith. It is a life of completely trusting and fully depending on the promises of God. The creator of all things is your father and He is very concerned about you. As we remain in God’s love we need faith to careless in Him.

It takes faith to live joyfully. It takes faith in the truth that there is a God who reigns in the affairs of men and this God is your father. It takes faith to take no thought for your life and to care less in God's care. The Christian life is a life of faith.

To be slothful is to be unwilling to work or use energy to achieve something. For whatever God has called you for, you cannot afford to be lazy. Giants are impossible challenges for the slothful but opportunities for the diligent. Nothing other than failure is achieved by laziness

The person that allows patience to have her work in will be perfect. Every word from God will require patience on our part. Our walk with God is not just a walk of faith but of patience also. Allow patience.

The ability to excrete metabolic waste is a characteristics of life. A key aspect of our fellowship with God is, he prunes us of the deeds of the old man. It is injurious to our health not to excrete. Put off the deeds of the old man!

The desire for food is a sign of life. Believers struggle to feed on God's word consistently because they have no desire for it. Jesus' request from Peter (and to us by extension) after His resurrection was to feed the lamb and the sheep because, there is no alternate for what the word does in our life. Feed!

Growth is beautiful. No matter how lovely a baby is, every parents would be worried if their child always remains a baby, so is it with God. Growth is a sign of life and growing in your walk with God is a characteristics of being alive to God.

Movement is a characteristics of being alive. God told Moses and the Israelites "Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount". Many of us have failed to move when God has. Move!

Being alive to God; in addition to being sensitive to him, is to be in constant touch with him via prayer. Prayer is the platform through which we generate energy to respond to the promptings of God. Invest in prayer.

We were dead to God because of sin, enemies and traitors but thank God for Jesus. God in Christ Jesus gave us an opportunity to have a new and better relationship with Him. Sensitivity to Him is key if we are to enjoy the newness of our relationship with Him

We cannot afford to enter a new season without personnally spending time at the feet of Jesus. We need to make this investment to hear God's word for ourselves concerning the new year. His word will be light to our path and lamp to our feet - pay the price.

This season reminds us of God's gift to us. The gift that entitles us to enjoy a relationship with Him. The gift of access to God is one many have not fully appreciated and used. The beauty is that we access God not with feat as servants or friends but as His children.
