The condition of a man’s heart will determine whether his prayer will be answered or not. The truth is that a sinning person can not pray with a faith-filled expectation to receive from God. This is not because such cannot open his mouth to pray but because there is a quarrel between him and God. It is natural for people to avoid the people they are not on good terms with, sinners feel the same wa...

How often should Christians pray? Is there any specific number of times to pray? Are there special hours on the clock to pray? These are a few of the most likely questions people ask in connection to the regularity of prayer. The answer to these questions is found in our text of the day. Jesus said that it is expedient for us to pray always. He was not giving us a bogus rule of number-based times...

There is no greater need in our time and age than more prayer. With the world economy failing, sin thriving, and people dying; Christians must pray or many more would be lost eternally. It is however unfortunate that only a few believers know how to pray effectively. What we see in the church is even more discouraging, prayer is fast losing its place and relevance in most churches. We are fast bec...

Since a sinner’s prayer is an abomination to God, what prayer then does God hear from a sinner? Does it mean that God does not listen to any prayer of a person who is unrepentant? The way God treat the prayer of His children who falls into sin will show you the seriousness of the matter. David said, if I regard sin in my heart, God will not hear me (Psalms 66:18). What does that mean? If a child o...

Prayer is the way by which the believer talks with God and receives blessings from Him. When we read the Bible, it is God talking to us. Prayer, therefore, is God’s open cheque to ask anything from Him in Jesus’ name. Prayer is also a way to know God more, it is a relationship builder. The more we pray, the more intimate we get with Him. While the Bible admonish us not to be anxious about anything...

It takes a lot of courage to be a saint. The pilgrim’s progress to heaven will bring him face to face with many obstacles and fierce tribulations that require resolute faith in God. He will have to endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ. He cannot be timid or afraid of the enemy’s rants, rather he must press on to win the race. God cannot do anything with a fearful heart. Such a heart is defe...

Fear is one of satan’s strongest weapons to attack the believer. He puts the thoughts of possible failure and disappointment in the saint’s mind to destabilise him. In our text and reading, when the enemies of Nehemiah saw that they could not stop the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, they decided to play the fear card from the devil’s playbook. But Nehemiah prayed and remained resolute i...

To regular persons, wealth is defined by the amount of money, properties, and other material fortunes that a man has. But the Lord said that a man is not measured by the abundance of the things he possesses (Luke 12:15). If that is the case, how does God measure riches in the kingdom of God? What are God’s parameters for judging a man rich? Let’s not forget that the Kingdom of God is eternal and i...

Many believers are specialists in complaining. They are always complaining about what God has not done for them. They seldom take time to thank God for the things He has done. They quickly forget that the only reason why they could complain is because God has kept them alive. The dead cannot praise God. The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence. Psalms 115:17 NKJV Recently...

Today’s message is a warning to those who think they can live in sin and get away with it. Never, your sin will find you out. Let not one deceive you, there is a grievous judgment awaiting all those who live and practice unrighteousness. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18 NKJV The o...

Everything in the kingdom is completely opposite of what it is in the world. When anyone sees the topic of today’s message, he would think that it is about joy and great gladness that comes as a result of some blessings that God promised. But in reality, Jesus told us that we should rejoice and be exceedingly glad for being persecuted and when we suffer. How does that even make sense? But it is th...

God’s word is explicit and clear when it comes to the subject of eternity with God – the final destination of each soul will be determined by what sort of life they lived here. A life spent and used for God can not lack God’s eternal reward. Even when you have used your life for God, there is a need to maintain a pure heart to see God at the end of your race here on earth. It is very clear from th...

Many times the challenges of life seem overwhelming, the children’s school fees, unpaid rent, lack of food, and other important needs set to way us down and worried. In most cases, we have done all we know how to do but still, nothing is showing up. This is when the devil introduces fears and worries. He begins to replay in our minds the many needs and even the urgency of some of them. He will at...

The greatest command that Jesus gave us is Love. He called Love the summary of the entire law and prophets. We are commanded first to love God and then to love our neighbours as ourselves. (Matthew 22:37-40, Deuteronomy 6:5). But are all neighbours lovable? No! The truth is that many are looking for ways to hurt and harm us. Do we still love these kinds of people? Yes! Because Jesus commanded us t...

When it comes to the subject of heaven and eternity, one scary truth is that not everyone will make it in the end. The words of the Lord particularly point to the fact that even among those who have believed, only a few will enter in the end. When Jesus gave us the parable of the 10 virgins in (Matthews 25:1-12), He told us that only 5 i.e. fifty percent made it in with the bridegroom, and the res...

When we look through the Bible we will see several places where sickness or disease is linked to sin. The original creation of God was free of Cancer, Corona Virus, Malaria and other sickness and disease rampaging the world today. The Bible told us that God said everything was very good (Genesis 1:31). We can see how damaging and consequential sin was from the fall of man. People live in pain and...

If there is anything so sad today is seeing men making a business out of the work of God. They are everywhere, they sell oil, handkerchiefs, and water for bogus amounts claiming to have prayed and anointed them. Our text of the day says that they will exploit many with deceptive words. We live in that time today. If you don’t want to fall victim to these religious swindlers, you must heed this war...

Today we will look at the ways to identify false prophets. Since they  will dress and behave like sheep but inwardly are ravenous wolves,  believers must watch for certain signs to identify them. Let us not be deceived beloved, many false prophets have risen in the  world today and are here to deceive many. We must therefore put on our  defence to guard against falling victims...

One of the many signs of the end times is the rise of false prophets  who will deceive many people from the way of truth. The Lord said that  false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and  wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:24 NKJV We are living in that time today with great deceptions and lying  wonders. We have men whose goal is...

Can unforgiveness send someone to hell? Do you mean God will not  allow me into heaven because I did not forgive someone who deeply  offended me? But I am doing other things for God and I even avoid any  sinful lifestyle may be your query. The obvious truth is that God will  not hold any person guiltless who fails to forgive others. The Bible is explicit and clear on this, Jesu...

Eternity is so vast that no human mind can ever comprehend it. It is  an endless space of time where the immortal soul of man will either rest  in bliss or be tormented. Imagine a man living in torment and never dying. Jesus spoke about  hell as a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew  13:42). A place of eternal torment and suffering. It is an endless loop...

When we read through the Bible on the subject of eternity, we will  see how serious it is. It is sad to see preachers and Christians treat  this subject with levity. The way the Lord spoke about it shows the  seriousness of the matter and we must take it to heart. In the Lord’s instruction to believers in what’s known as the sermon  on the mount, He addressed some issues to whi...

One common way by which people dishonour God today is swearing by His  name. Many even use God’s name as curse words. Many people have sworn  falsely by the name of God and they refused to hallow the name of God. Jesus said in our reading of the day to believers, don’t swear at  all. You must be straightforward in your conversation. The Bible also  commanded that we should not...

Treasures are those things that you value the most in life. Since you  don’t keep valuables carelessly, a man stores up his treasure in a safe  place. In life, there are so many things that seem important to us and  are like treasures. Things like wealth, possessions, influence and so on  could account for those treasures. It is sad how Christians consider the things of this wo...

God can take a nobody and make him somebody. The Bible says that He  takes the poor from the dust and lifted the needy from the dung hills to  make him seat with princes (Psalms 113:7-8). That was the story of King Saul, God took him from the lowest place  and placed him above all the people in the land. Saul himself admitted  that he was not fit for the throne, yet God placed...
