God has already spoken His promises over our lives. The question is: will we grumble, will we declare God’s promises by faith, and finally, will we also dig? Faith begins with hearing God’s promise, grows as we declare it with our lips, and comes to life when we act on it with our hands. The Israelites sang, 'Spring up, O well!' as they dug into the dry ground, and God turned a barren desert into...

The psalm assures us that God is present, God is watching, and God remains the final authority. From Babel to Nabal, Scripture consistently shows that lives built without reference to God eventually collapse from within. But lives ordered around God endure, because they are aligned with truth, wisdom, and purpose. The question Psalm 14 leaves us with is not whether God exists, but whether He rules...

Kingdom faith says:  “God sees more than we do.”  “Heaven is backing what God has initiated.” “This moment is not a setback; it is a setup.” This is not a season to shrink back. This is not a season to disengage. This is a season to advance the Kingdom of God. This is a season to lift our eyes. This is a season to trust in heaven’s resources. This is a season to advance by faith, trusting in God’s...

To conquer sins like coveting, greed, lust, and the longing for power, position, or fame, you must redirect your passion. The essential step is to develop a relationship with Christ as your main focus. Center your efforts on serving Christ and His followers. Serving should come first. By pledging yourself to service, you'll notice that worldly coveting gradually diminishes.

Many believers pray for blessings on things that are misaligned. However, blessings tend to come more naturally when lives are guided by God’s rule embodied in His Word. The Kingdom System represents God’s call for us to align ourselves, moving beyond simple faith or ethics to establish proper governance under rightful authority. Jesus’ words continue to hold true: “Seek first the kingdom of God a...

God doesn’t just rescue us so we can sit safely forever. He restores us so we can participate in His work of restoration. Forgiven people become sent people. Jesus didn’t merely pay our debt; He came to restore what sin had ruined. In short, Redemption frees us from sin; Restoration brings us back to life. ·  Restored relationship. ·  Restored identity. ·  Restored health. ·  Restored authority. ·...

The Kingdom advances wherever Christ is welcomed not only as Savior but as Lord. When He reigns in us, His Kingdom moves through us into our homes, our work, our relationships, and our communities. Lives are transformed. Culture begins to change. Darkness loses its authority. The reign of God advances. As we celebrate Christmas, we, His people, should do more than remember the birth of the baby Je...

Healing is the will of God. It was central to Jesus' ministry, and it continues today through the power of the Holy Spirit in the Church. We recognize that not every sickness is healed instantly, but every true healing, whether miraculous, gradual, or medical, comes from God. Therefore, the Church must continue to preach the Word, lay hands on the sick, and expect God to move in power.  Jesus is s...

Why is God so opposed to lying? As we mentioned earlier, the Ten Commandments are the most crucial set of rules ever created for building a good society. However, such a society cannot be established or maintained without a foundation of truth. In bringing His Kingdom into this world, God is introducing His way of living life. He is cultivating within His people godly behaviors that will create a...

Moses was unwilling for the Promises of God to come to them without the Presence of God. Moses interceded before God that His Presence would go with the people. It was His Presence that was the key to who they were. God heared His prayer and as a result, the temple was completed and God's Presence dwelt among them through it. The presence of God that Once filled the tabernacle now fills every beli...

This isn’t about pointing fingers; it’s about recognizing where theft can happen. Again it’s not to condemn us, but to call us back into integrity, obedience, and courage. Scripture teaches us that stealing is always wrong. Whether it’s money influence or spiritual opportunity, but God shows us these areas not to shame us. But so that we can return what belongs to Him and fully embraces what He lo...

The difference between inside and outside is more than just a word. It means standing outside of faith, beyond the will and direction of God for your lives. It’s also the difference between being in His will and being outside of His will for our lives. Initially, we pictured someone outside a city wall or closed door, with the King inside ready to welcome. The good news is now that the door is ope...

Illustration: Think about a backup generator. It sits in the backyard, silent and unused most of the time. We barely give it attention—until the power goes out. Suddenly, that generator becomes the most important thing in the house. But the moment the lights return, it goes quiet again, forgotten until the next crisis. That’s how many people treat God. As long as life is running smoothly, He sits...

John 17:15-19- Jesus High Priestly Prayer I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.  16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do.  17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.  18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.  19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can b...

We all broke this commandment. Jesus was crucified on the Cross of Calvary, and we all played a part in His death. As a result, we all deserve only God's judgment. However, because of His great mercy, grace, love, compassion, forgiveness, and salvation, they continue to flow from that very same cross to anyone who cries out, “Lord, have mercy on me.”

God is still healing. God is still performing miracles. The Spirit that worked through Jesus, and then through the apostles, is the same Spirit indwelling and empowering the church today. The question is whether the church is willing to believe, pursue, and obey. I believe the Lord is stirring His church again, not just to preach salvation, but to demonstrate the Kingdom. And I believe He wants to...

We need to actively engage in evangelism and tell everyone what Jesus has done for us. Tell everyone that you can about the Kingdom and tell them that the Kingdom of Heaven is here proclaim the authority that we’ve been given by the Holy Spirit.  And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. We need to encourage...

Perhaps you find yourself in a situation that reminds you of Naomi and her predicament. I want you to know today that God is visiting His people once again. I want you to hear the call of God to come back home. Like the prodigal, you don’t have to be completely well and whole to come back; you just need to hear the Father’s call to you to come back and let our loving, and merciful God begin His wo...

In summary, today we learned that in a culture obsessed with the paranormal, God calls His people to live with revelation, not curiosity. His goal is that through the illumination of His Word, we will be inspired to fully trust in His supernatural care rather than be driven by fear rooted in ignorance and deception. When His Spirit opens our eyes, we see the unseen clearly — not as a fearful realm...

God’s power is always available—His Word is alive and true, and His strength is unlimited, but nothing changes until faith turns on the connection. When you believe God and act on His Word, that’s the moment the switch is flipped and power flows into your situation. Faith doesn’t create power; it releases it.

How many of you are hungry for a fresh encounter with God? Cause that’s what we desire. That’s what I desire for you is that you would go deeper in the things of God. That you’ll not be on the fringes or on the edge. But you’ll be right in the depth and the middle of what God is doing for you.

The supernatural ministry is not just casting out demons, healing the sick and doing the works of God. It is a proclamation of the gospel the believers’ first ministry besides worship, prayer, and the word is to proclaim the gospel so that our churches expand and grow. And so I want you to see that the supernatural ministry Paul says I’m not ashamed of the gospel for it is power of God unto salvat...

Study the word, meditate in the word, speak the word, do the word, believe the word, preach the word, teach the word, delight in the word, store the word, obey the word, rejoice in the word, apply the word, and live by every word. Because it is supernatural, it is life giving, how many of you need to get back to the word. I want to pray for you that God would awaken your desire to read His word gi...

We need the power of the Spirit, we should desire it and as I felt in coming here that I want to take you into the realms of the Spirit. We spoke about desire, hunger, and thirst, creating an appetite for God, how many of you have an appetite for things of God. How many of you will take up your cross and follow Him.

How many of you are hungry for a fresh encounter with God? Cause that’s what we desire. That’s what I desire for you is that you would go deeper in the things of God. That you’ll not be on the fringes or on the edge. But you’ll be right in the depth and the middle of what God is doing for you.
