The Psalmist in our text of the day began with a language that will easily resonate with many of us. It was a Psalms of reflection upon God’s love, mercy, care, and safety over His children. David further spoke of the countless attempts by the enemies to destroy him but for God’s divine protection. This is more like a Psalm of a man’s testimony. And it is rightly a psalm describing the goodness of...

Men and women who have touched the height of God’s grace are those who never settle for the less. I have heard a great man of God share the testimony of how he told God that he does not want to be an ordinary pastor. He wanted God’s anointing and power. That man of God is more than 80 years old today and still walking in the supernatural. Men in the world have paid a serious price to get the thing...

God does not force anything on a man. What He does many times is to make invitations, announcements, or advertisements for what He wants to give to the sons of men. In the book of John 7:37-38, we saw the Lord making an outstanding invitation to bless all who will come. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink...

Many follow or worship God today mainly because of what they hope to receive from Him. But for us, it’s beyond that. It’s serving and loving Him wholeheartedly even when there is no promise or when the promise is delayed. How does a person get to this point of intimacy and affection for his creator that one would say with Job, even though He slays me, yet will I trust Him? At what point does He be...

Even though Joseph was hated by his brothers, sold to Egypt, and wrongly imprisoned, he was not wearing a sad gloomy face and grumbling about the whole place. He seems to me a very happy man. He was in God’s will and certainly, the presence of God must have been with him. It takes a cheerful man to cheer another person up. Be careful of the people you surround your life with. When you go into your...

Our response to temptation will determine whether we will overcome or be defeated. There are some temptations that you can just rebuke the devil. One such occasion occurred when the devil asked that the Lord bow and worship him – the Lord said, get out of here satan, you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve. The devil ran away (Matthew 4:8-11) When it comes to sexual tempta...

The Bible says, But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6 NKJV The above scripture showed us that in our highest moral status, we are still unclean in the sight of God. Every self-righteousness of man cannot measure up to His righteousness. As far as God is concer...

Darkness is confusion, it takes light to dispel darkness. It is safe to say that the world without Jesus is in darkness and will continue to wallow in confusion. From the fall of man, the entire humanity was plunged into spiritual darkness, Satan was oppressing and suppressing men, until Jesus the light of the world step down into the dark world. Everyone who has come into the new life in Christ i...

Yesterday we spoke extensively on God’s desire for us to be different in this present world as believers. While some people may think it is impossible, the Bible gave us example after example of men who were different despite all odds. Today we will consider one of such men and how he distinguished himself amid corruption as a man of God. Towards the end of his life, he finished with this testimon...

Someone said that the world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity but the demonstration of it. The reason why your friends and people around you have not received your Jesus is because they have not seen the life of Christ in you. The world knows its own and expects that if any one will claim not to be part of her, such must prove it in lifestyle, appearance, and conduct. It is very...

Life is a battle, and more than any other, the Christian is faced with more battles. The devil, the corrupt world system, and false brethren, all set themselves against this child of God. No wonder the Bible told believers to always put on the full armour of God. That is to say, hey you are in a war, get ready for a fight. The Bible even says that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood and that...

Let me reiterate this truth, whether the world believes it or not, Jesus will come again to take His followers to heaven. What a glorious day it will be because we shall all be changed and have a new body and we will be with Christ forever. Our hope as believers is beyond this passing world, we are sure that Jesus has gone to prepare a place in heaven for us and we will see Him in glory one day (J...

One of the many signs of the end times is the increase in the rate at which people sin. Jesus foretold that sin and iniquity will abound in the end times. We see right in our faces how sinful practices have gained great approval both in the world and in the church. Sinful and unrighteous agendas a being put forward by governments of nations and many are drinking sin as water without any thought ab...

Those who say that once a person is saved such is forever saved are either not reading their bibles properly or are intentionally dishonest. Our text of the day explicitly contradicts that school of thought. As a matter of fact, the Holy Spirit says that in the last days, many people will depart from the faith; i.e. they will fall away from their faith in Christ. The Lord Jesus while speaking abou...

If you have been following this devotional, you will notice how extensively we have been speaking about persecution and suffering. This is because persecution and suffering are part of what we would encounter on our Christian journey to heaven. They are also some of the signs of the end times. We have come to a point in the world today where more Christian minorities all over the world are being s...

Of the many signs of the end times, it’s amazing how the Lord spoke about the deception that will take the major stage in the church and society. Two thousand years later, Christ’s assessment could not be any truer. Sadly we live in a very dangerous time of high deception and lies. Many deceivers have gone out to deceive and turn many away from the way of life. Jesus sternly warned us against thes...

Jesus will come back again! Praise the Lord. Though the people in the world try to contest this truth, it does not make it untrue because heaven and earth will pass away but His word will remain the same (Matthews 24:35). The same Jesus who was taken up into heaven will so come in the same manner as He went to heaven (Acts 1:11). The book of Revelation says that He is coming with clouds, and every...

What do men like Paul know that we do not, what did they see that we seem to be ignorant of, and what was the persuasion that made them dogged and rugged to obtain the eternal crown? How do they measure and assess things that we have not come into? Paul was no special breed, though an uncommon man in many ways. He distinguished himself as a missionary, writer, and sufferer for Christ. Paul could h...

When the scripture spoke about laying up our treasures in heaven where they won’t be corrupt, many believers today do not yet understand the full concept and reason behind it. This is because earthly treasures will fade with time and their value will depreciate. As the preacher, king Solomon said, they will all be left behind for someone else who has not laboured for it. He said that if such is a...

The reason why many believers are still joking about the subject of their final destination at the end of their journey on earth is that they have not personally seen the real value of heaven. The cost of following Christ is high, but the gain is higher. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. Matthew 16:24...

Everything we see today points only to one thing, and it is the fact that the end of all things is near. It’s amazing how many people are not watchful to read the sign on the wall. Everything the scripture says will happen in the end times is already happening and the last few years have been highly exceptional. From the coronavirus to monkeypox and more recently, a huge ecological imbalance. We m...

Many people complain of not having answers to their prayers and they are looking for the possible reasons why this is so. They are sure that they have prayed in strong faith yet they do not receive what they have asked for. Our God is infinitely wise, He will not give us what will harm us. Think about our earthly parents, even when we asked for something we think we need, they apply their discreti...

One primary reason why many people pray and never receive is that they never have faith that they will have what they have prayed for. By doing this, they displease God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 NKJV The Lord Jesus says that we would have whatever we as...

Today we will continue with the hindrances or what makes prayer so difficult many times. In our previous lesson, we noted emphatically that a sinning man will find prayer difficult and ineffective. But what about the things that the devil does to hinder us from praying? The enemy knows that prayer is a weapon that believers have to counter-attack. He knows that the effectual prayer of the righteou...
