Ephesians Series : Saved By Grace Through Faith (Ephesians 2:8) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God‬‬..” Nothing we did could ever earn us salvation. Nothing! Salvation is not a formula to follow. It is a miracle to believe in. And by believing in the salvation plan of God, we enjoy grace, the undeserved favour, to have a right stand with God...

(Ephesians 1:18-19) Apostle Paul was excited to hear good news of upholding faith in God, about the Church in Ephesus. He thanked God on their behalf. He also prayed for them.

I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience t...

(Luke 6:26) Someone says “Popularity is not a guarantee of quality” and guidance from the Word of God is a confirmation of the quote. As Christ’s believers, we are admonished to focus on living our lives based on the principle of God’s Word and not on what is in vogue. Jesus mentioned this in Luke 6:26 when he was addressing His disciples telling them to be careful of living for the approval of pe...

(Luke 6:37-38) Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated. ““Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’...

(2 Corinth 10:12) Let your uniqueness blossom; avoid comparing yourself with others. Let your uniqueness blossom; let the Word of God be your standard or yardstick for living.

If you are worse in that area, you will be tempted to be discouraged.” In my...

(John 1:12; 2 Corinth 5:17) Let your uniqueness blossom, you are called to become. Let your uniqueness blossom, you are called to become sons of God. As natural man, there is tendency to always want to compare one’s life, failures and achievements with others or with self. Now, if you are in Christ, you are no longer a natural man. You have the nature and ability of God. You may not feel or look l...

Let your uniqueness blossom; you're not created to be a clone (Matthew 5:14-16) I was on my way to work one morning and I saw plants with colourful flowers- yellow, blue,,red, pink- all clustered together.

(Isaiah 53:12; Eph 2:8; John 14:6) Every organisation has her policy which employees and stakeholders must adhere by.

‭‭(1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬; Mark 3:25) Apostle Paul, addressing and charging the Church of Corinth because of division among them.

(Luke‬ ‭16:10‬ ‭ICB‬‬) Myles Monroe of blessed memory once said in one of his books that ”when purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable". God created everyone for a glorious purpose and the only way to find that purpose is to go to God. -Firstly, to have a relationship with God through the sacrifice He made available for us- His Son Jesus. Believing and confessing Him as one's Lord and Saviour. -...

(2 Timothy 1:6) Not long ago, I realised that I have been under-using my airer for a while. Apparently it has the capacity to expand. It is built to expand and I did not know until my younger son pulled the point of attachment by mistake and it expanded giving us more space to spread more clothes. Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to keep using the gift God has given him in order to grow. “That is w...

(Psalms 27:4) The Enemy’s plan is to use distractions to make God’s promise to us blurry. He wants us to focus on what is not going on well- the hurts, the pains, the offence.

The Lord protects me from all...

(Ephesians 6:5-8) It is easy to put on a facade, acting out differently on the outside but deep inside be filled with anger, resentment for one’s employer especially when one feels been used, unheard, treated unfair.
