Today’s message is a warning to us all never to tread the path of  dishonouring God for any reason. Do not allow God to become your enemy. The way of the transgressors is hard (Proverbs 13:15). I am fully  persuaded that it is the most dangerous thing to fall into the hands of  the living God (Hebrew 10:31). If a man offends another person stronger  and more powerful than himse...

Although it is a common saying that you give honour to whom honour is  due, many people do not honour God who is the most honourable. Jesus said, ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. Matthew 15:8 NKJV Though many claims to love Jesus and honour Him, it is mere lips  service and vain shows. To these kinds of people, Jesus will...

The Christian must always remember the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 3:12, which says: Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. To be a Christian is no small business, it’s a call to trials and  persecution. Paul admonished the young Timothy to endure hardship as a  good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3). This veteran Apostle was not speaking base...

Advance research and methodologies have been applied to solve many  complex problems on the human level. What many scientists struggle with  is the idea of a God that can not be discovered through means of  scientific tools and analysis. Who is this God that hides from men? Truly You are God, who hide Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior! Isaiah 45:15 NKJV Men conclude because they...

God is all-powerful and all-knowing. He is in charge and control of  every situation. Nothing happens without His knowledge and He will not  allow any of His children to suffer without an active purpose of good.  We must always remember that God uses all things, situations and  circumstances to do us good (Romans 8:28). We are safe in His hands. Our God is a good Father and our...

One of the biggest lessons which God want His children to learn when they are in a very difficult place in life is trusting Him. The word trust means to completely throw oneself at the mercy of another. In the case of a Christian, it is a complete reliance on God to give the grace to help in times of need. The human hearts find it difficult to trust. Trusting requires staking your all on someone e...

In a very busy and buzzy world where everyone seems to be in a hurry,  patience is lacking a virtue in our society. You will agree that if you are more patient, you will become a better person. The world system is designed to frustrate the believer, the very  reason why we must all trust God for more patience. Some people whose goal is to choke you up will do things that will irritate yo...

We do not have a high priest who does not sympathize and feel for us in our sufferings. This is because He also had a fair share of suffering to become our worthy high priest. Christ can understand our temptations and trials because He had been there and was victorious (Hebrews 4:15). The path to this eternal priesthood of Christ was made possible by  His suffering. The Bible told us that He...

Since God does not do things without a purpose, and will not allow His children to suffer without a greater glory head, there is always a reason why God allows your sufferings. There are lessons He wants to use the situation to teach you. The Bible highlighted a few lessons that we can draw both from the suffering of Christ and the many saints who have gone ahead in triumph. Today we want to look...

Suffering can be very overwhelming especially when you a living correctly in Christ. It is hard to understand why with all your devotion and commitment to the cause of Christ and His kingdom on earth you still have to suffer. When you think about Job and the things He suffered, you will be amazed. This was by far the most righteous man of his time. He loved righteousness and hated sin. Job was ver...

One man who succeeded greatly above his contemporaries was Paul the Apostle. He was the one who also made the claims we read about in our text. This was different from the claim of Peter who said he was willing to die for Christ but when trouble came he fled.  Thank God because after Pentecost Peter was able to stand for Christ even in the face of death. When looking through the life of this succe...

There is nothing greater than knowing that you are not alone in your suffering. The support that people give will bring a kind of comfort,  and goes a long way to give hope to such. But men are not God, they may sympathize with you at first and turn around to accuse you of wrongdoing. The three friends of Job came all the way and all they did was accuse him of secret sin. Rather than healing...

Gold in its purest form must have to go through the fire to come out shining. Everyone loves gold, but not many people like the refining process. Many want to be like gold in form and appearance, but not many want a gold-like purifying process. One of God’s means of purifying His church and children is suffering.  In the infiniteness of His wisdom, He uses suffering to take the dross of unrig...

Nobody can really put a hand on why God allows suffering. Some say  that if God were to be good and loving, He would not allow suffering.  But we who are saved by His grace know that all things (including  suffering) work together for our good (Romans 8:28). The truth is that God will never allow His children to go through  what He has not provided adequate grace for them to be...

Whenever we hear the stories of Christians being seriously persecuted, tortured, imprisoned, and killed for the sake of Christ, we wonder why Christians should suffer. But the honest question is not ‘why’ but what is the purpose of God in it. Suffering is an integral part of the Christian faith. Christ suffered and so must we in any form or size that God permits. Though we live in a time when cult...

Along with the great commission comes one of the greatest promises Christ ever made to His disciples. He told them He will be with them always even unto the end of the age. This is very comforting to know that our saviour will keep and care for us in all the hustle and bustle of this world. Whether in tribulations or distress, or famine, or persecution, there is a promise of His overwhelming prese...

Whenever Jesus saves a man, it is that through him others can come to the light.  God’s concept of multiplying believers is quite unique. It is a discipleship model. Other religions may try to gain dominance and influence by having more children born into their families, but it is not so in the gospel. This is because the Christian faith is practical. Everyone must personally decide to follow...

Nothing moves in the heart of God than having all men saved and coming to the knowledge of the truth. Nothing burns in His heart above seeing many people from different tribes and ethnicity come to worship  Him in the beauty of Holiness. The love that God has for this world and His continuous effort to save her is not hidden but visible for all to see. God sent His only Son to die for the wor...

One of the greatest power of the Gospel is its ability to transform lives. Any gospel that does not produce a change in the heart of men is most likely incomplete or false. The heart of the Gospel is change. The more reason why 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a valid proof of the  Gospel’s power. If anyone has come to Christ, he becomes new inwardly and outwardly, old habits and ways of living are pass...

Those who preach the gospel are wise because they turn many away from  the path of destruction to eternal life. Many who have caught the  vision of God have come to realize that even a soul won into the Kingdom  of God is worth it. A great eternal reward awaits them because they fulfilled the heartbeat of God. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, &nbs...

I want to write to you from my heart about what I perceive as God’s  desire for you. There are endless possibilities in our God. The Bible  says eyes have not seen it nor has anyone heard what God has reserved  for those who loved Him (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). These are the days when God is doing special work in the world and He  needs loyal and faithful children who will with Hi...

Many hear the word of God today but will neither obey nor practice  it. Many sinners have heard the gospel message but ignore it.  Such a  person will not receive the blessing of salvation because he refused to  apply the word he has heard to his life by responding to the call for  salvation. The word you don’t obey or practice will never produce a great effect  on yo...

Just as we have our earthly family, everyone who has become saved from sin is adopted into the family of God. Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. Ephesians 1:5 NKJV The Bible says that everyone who received Christ is given the  absolute right to become God’s child (John 1:12). These are not born by  the will of...

The word of God is active and powerful, sharper than any two-edged  sword, it has the ability to pierce through the human heart and save a  soul from his way of destruction. The Bible says that the word is God, therefore God’s word carries  enough power to create and restore lost virtues in a person’s life. It  has the ability to save a man from the bondage of the enemy. Whenev...

The believer is not immune from the temptation to sin but the grace  of God which is at work in him allows him to say no to sin (Titus 2:11).  The saint has come into a new life in which the natural appetites and  desire to sin have been subdued and now he is alive unto righteousness. If you have not come to this point in your life where you no longer  have a raging desire for...
