2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  Many Christians think this change is one that will take place in Heaven or in the spirit realm somewhere; it has already happened! The Lord Jesus Christ came to give us the divine life, the life that makes us sons of God. You see, being born again doesn’...

Matthew 5:48 (KJV) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.  “No one is perfect!" How many times have you heard that expression throughout your life? If you’re like me, it might well be countless times. From the playground to the boardroom, and even to the pulpit, this lie has firmly established itself. If you dare utter the words “I am perfect, " folks...

Proverbs 15:4 (KJV) A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.  The word 'breach' in the verse for today is  sheber  in Hebrew. It means to break, to shatter or to crush something. Now, if you replace the word breach with these definitions, you can see that bad speech can be the biggest enemy, crushing or breaking your life and your loved ones...

Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:   What a wonderful Father we have! Think about it for a second. A love so deep that He chooses us before the foundation of the world. Our God wanted us saved, not after man was created nor after man had fallen, but "before the foundation of...

Genesis 26:12 (KJV) Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.   Now, just to give a little context to the above scripture, there was a great famine in the land at the time Isaac sowed. There had also been a drought for many years, and survival was no easy feat. Now, just imagine how God tells Isaac that He’ll bless him in the midst of all t...

2 Timothy 2:1 (KJV) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. One thing many Christians don’t realise is that grace differentiates you in the world; it sets you apart for glory and excellence. You become a head above the rest, a pioneer, a record-breaker and a barrier-breaker! There’s absolutely nothing in this world, whether it's fame or fortune or having the bes...

James 2:17 (AMPC) So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).   Just imagine for a second how a parent will go all out to provide the best for their child, only for that child to act beggarly as if they have zero provisions at all. Unfortunately, this scenario rings true for many of God’s own children...

Revelation 3:20 (KJV) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.   One major lesson I’d like everyone to take away from this verse is that the Lord Jesus Christ is NOT knocking at the Church door; He’s knocking on your heart. The verse does not say if the Church will open its doors to the prompt...

Revelation 2:4 (NKJV) Nevertheless I have  this  against you, that you have left your first love.”  When you truly want to be on FIRE for God, you must create hunger. It is within the hunger created that fire begins to burn from within. When there is hunger, you become sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Sitting alone in your room, a burden comes in the form of an instruction for minis...

1 Samuel 9:3 Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, “Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys. In Israel, donkeys represent a kingdom without end. That is why Jesus rode on a donkey at His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. When you read further in our scriptural story, Saul was eventually anointed by Prophet Samuel a...

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Someone could be short, small, tall, or whatever you may perceive as average, but that is relative. However, power is absolute! There is no contest or argument when power is demonstrated. In these end times, we need the power of God to be displa...

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Soul winning is an investment of eternal significance that the Church needs to grasp. The world will do more for a lie than the Church is willing to do for truth. When a fashion trend is announced, people in the world will run with it as if that is all to life. Everybody out there will blindly follow an...

1 Timothy 6:16   (NIV) Who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honour and might forever. Amen. When the Bible speaks of the ‘hand of the Lord’ or the ‘finger of God’, it is not referring to literal hands or fingers but a dimension of God. Ephesians 4:10 says, “He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens,...

1 John 2:17   (AMP) The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God  and  carries out His purposes lives forever.     Excesses and life beyond the ordinary are considered post-luxury life. People in the world who are considered wealthy live post-luxury lives, yet they eat vegetables and fruits and are not bothered...

  Isaiah 43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called  thee  by thy name; thou  art  mine.     When destiny calls, you have no explanation for certain realities of your own life. You may find yourself in a ministry and cannot logically explain why you are there. The Bible says John the Baptist was...

Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all  things .   The Word of God emphatically states that you cannot serve two masters; you will be more loyal to one and disloyal to the other. God puts money in the bracket of a master, a god, which means money exercises control. If you understand God entrusts you with money as a steward, a manager, when t...

1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another  divers  kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: The Christians living in this dispensation are the best informed yet the weakest. We have been supplied with the best weaponry God has in His arsenal, the gifts are distributed, but our failure to use the weap...

Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up  his  heel against me. Many of life’s challenges and problems come from unlikely sources. David lamented in the scripture above about the source of his troubles: friends who shared bread and ate with him. In the end, the one David considered a “friend” lifted their heel against him! This friend h...

Isaiah 54:2  Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; Sometimes, you need to be pregnant with something new to change your appetite. If there is nothing new to push you out of your comfort zone, expect nothing new to happen. When a woman becomes pregnant, there are certain changes in her a...

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. In our early days, I once brought home a book I bought on finance. I explained to my wife how this book would make us rich! I told her we would have a million times what I spent on the book by the degree of knowledge acquired by reading it! The scriptures tell us in...

Genesis 26:3 Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham. It is laughable for someone to say that God is not involved in prosperity! When we declare a life of milk and honey, they don’t take it seriously. Yet, some well-meaning Christians believe wh...

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have  it  more abundantly. Some people consider the ministration of the Word of God a mere and ordinary segment of the church service, just the preacher delivering the Word as a routine! However, this is not the case. When a man of God appears on the pulpit, what...

2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. This declaration about believing God and His prophets is cardinal to life’s success. God’s preoc...

Matthew 7:25   (AMP) And the rain fell, and the floods  and  torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. The Bible says there was rain, floods, torrents and winds – all representing the vicissitudes of life – pounding against a house. The house spoken of in this scripture is you. Yes, you reading this word now. Rem...

2 Kings 2:11 (NIV) As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.   Before today’s scripture, Prophet Elijah moved from Gilgal to Bethel to Jericho and finally to Jordan, where he went to Heaven in a whirlwind. He moved from place to place until he found a conducive...
