Judges 5:20 (KJV) From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.   There was a time when Israel went to war. The mighty men of valour arrayed themselves on the battlefield, and the combat was raging on planet Earth. The scripture for today tells us that the stars and the river Kishon fought for Israel. No wonder David was bitterly upset in 2 Samuel 1:21, rebuking...

Matthew 13:25 (KJV) But while men slept, His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went His way.   The enemy we are against is more active in the night! The devil and His cohorts work at night and see results in the day whilst Christians are snoring away in deep sleep! Nobody fears you because your Christianity is too shallow! A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. I am here to...

John 6:42 (KJV) And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that He saith, I came down from heaven?   I always tell people to be a terror and celebrity in the realm of the spirit. As you are on your way to breaking the generational curses that have plagued your family, don’t be surprised if your own family mocks and despises you. It’s the na...

James 1:2 (KJV)  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers’ temptations.   Today’s scripture instructs us to count it all joy when faced with diverse temptations. I know it’s difficult to smile when your landlord is pounding at your door for rent that’s overdue six months or more, or when this Year of the Chainbreakerhasn’t seemed to live up to its name, and it feels like all hell has...

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.   Longsuffering in the Greek rendering here is  makrothumia , which has to do with endurance, steadfastness, perseverance, and forbearance. With makrothumia, you have the fortitude to stand firm in the face of adversity. With so much power and fire in you, do not let that problem overp...

Matthew 6:24 (NLT) No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.    The subject of money is very delicate and sensitive to many in the Body of Christ. Many would suggest that the mention of money should not even be heard or conspicuously spoken. Others feel that when you talk...

Luke 5:7 (NIV) So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.    The scripture for today is a classic example of partnership in action. Notice the conversation was between Peter and Jesus. In order words, the rhema came to Peter, and He obeyed, followed instructions, and there was a great catch. Then, Pe...

Philippians 4:16 (KJV) For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.   I am fully convinced that the issue of seed and offering is often misunderstood in the Body of Christ. It can be challenging to encourage most Christians to give generously to support ministry projects, outreaches, and evangelism. Giving and seeding are big struggles for ordinary Christians—not because of a...

Haggai 2:8 (KJV) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.   The mistake many Christians make is thinking that when God speaks about giving an offering or seed, He is speaking to their human limitations. Instead, He is speaking to the God within them. You happen to be the channel of communication by which God speaks to Himself inside you. The issue arises when you respond...

Leviticus 16:8 (ESV) And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel.   In today’s verse, we see two goats presented: one was offered to God as a sacrifice, and the other was sent to “Azazel.” This second goat was not sacrificed. It was simply a carrier or a courier bearing bad news, representing the release of the sins of God’s people to be delivere...

Psalm 138:2 (KJV)  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.   God’s power is limited to the confines of His Word. This simply means God will not do anything outside of His Word. The scope of God’s intervention in your life—whether in your business, family, finances, or health—is determi...

Isaiah 65:24 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.   Today’s scripture reminds us that before we even pray, God has already answered. Whilst we are still speaking, He is at work. God knows what you will pray for before you utter it. He already knows you need your tuition. He is already zooming in on that marriage before...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT) Never stop praying.   It’s crucial to understand  why  a Christian prays. Prayer must be done with understanding, especially when a specific prayer point is raised. We know that God is omnipresent—meaning He is everywhere. So then why do we pray if God is everywhere?  Ephesians 4:10 tells us that when Jesus rose from the dead, He ascended far above the heavens to fill al...

Mark 11:23 (KJV) For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in His heart, but shall believe that those things which He saith shall come to pass; He shall have whatsoever He saith.    Did you notice the specificity of the statement uttered by Jesus? Most Christians get locked on the “whatsoever” without...

 Ezekiel 37:3 (KJV) And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.   In Ezekiel 37, the prophet is taken to a valley filled with dry bones—symbolic of hopelessness and lifelessness. God asks a profound question, "Can these bones live?" Ezekiel wisely responds, "O Lord God, thou knowest." God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to...

Genesis 1:26 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…   When God created man, He created him to look (image) and function (likeness) like Him. So when Adam was created, he looked like God and also functioned like God. This is seen when God formed animals out of the ground and brought them to Adam for him to call them to life, and they became alive! That creative abilit...

Romans 8:1 (KJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   There is therefore now  no condemnation  to them which are in Christ Jesus! That's something to shout about! You see, when the Lord Jesus Christ died for us on that cross, He paid for ALL sin—past, present and future. It was done, dealt with there and...

Matthew 14:29 (KJV) And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.   Apostle Peter painted a very clear picture of what many people go through in life. Seeing the Lord Jesus walking on water and bidding him to join Him conjured up enough faith to get out of the boat and start walking on water! How many times have you been stirred up by the...

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.   We are not ignorant of the devil's devices. We know he’s full of dirty tricks and tactics, always trying to take advantage of where we lack information.  The Bible gives us a heads-up and tells us to put on the whole armour, not part of it, but the whole armour. It is important t...

John 10:10 (KJV) 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.   Since the fall of Adam, man became spiritually dead and plagued with all manner of afflictions. But then came our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to restore us to that former glory with the Father. As you have received Him, you were...

1 Samuel 19:1 (KJV) And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.   You’ve been born again, been spirit-filled, been anointed, and perhaps even received a prophetic word, but still, things appear to not be moving in the direction you had expected. More so, things appear to have taken a turn for the worst! Well, before you throw the dummy out of the pram,...

Proverbs 3:27 (KJV) Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.   As Christians, we follow the perfect example that our Lord Jesus Christ set for us. As we look at how He conducted himself, we see that He was always moved by compassion to do good to other people. Even when He knew it would cause controversy against Him, He did it anyway.  Today, a...

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.   Words carry so much power, both positive and negative, so much to the point that the Bible tells us life and death are subject to the tongue. That is why putting a premium on your words is so important. As a born-again Christian, you have been made a king and a priest... even a...

1 Samuel 17:46 (KJV) This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.   The devil is persistent in his mission to bring you down. He will push and push...

1 Corinthians 14:4 (KJV) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.   There is power to be realised through prayer. Apostle Paul realised this power for him to thank God that he spoke in tongues more than all the people that were there. He was reaping the benefits. Today, I want you to realise the power you wield through prayer and how to c...
