God's power is made manifest through men. God's favour is made manifest through men. How we see the men He has sent to us matters. We can't receive from one whom we do not recognize God's grace upon His life. When next you are expecting a miracle expect men.

Has your stand in the faith been affected? Are you still preaching the gospel? Have you neglected the assembly of the brethren? What about evangelism? Are the labours of your leaders in vain? Has comfort or inconvenience affected the faith? Ponder slowly..

We must contend greatly for the power of God. We must go with the power. We can't do the work without the power of God. The proofs of the power of God can't be denied so the effort to silence them will continually be seen. The power of God opens the hearts of men to receive the word preached to them.

Jesus came to show us the Father in all clarity. In Jesus we see the nature of God displayed. Unveiled is the disposition of the Father in the Son. His willingness to heal. His compassionate heart, all revealed in the Son. When you know this and your faith reaches out to Him nothing can stop your miracles.

We must be bold and vocals about our spirituality. All that we have in Christ are our realities. Denying them isn't humility. Christ didn't deny His divinity. In this we have a lesson. Do not deny your spirituality.

Our transforming the world isn't by mingling with the world but by our consecration towards them. We can't be doing what the world does and expect to win them. We can't be comfortable in their voyage and expect to deliver them. We must be separate from the world.

The word of God is the very premise for growth and faith. Consistency in the word is the very prerequisite for stable growth and solid faith.

We shouldn't put a boundary as to what the power of God can do concerning the miraculous. The same power that heals the sick will raise the dead. No situation is beyond the power of God. God wants our faith to be unshaken.

The pursuit of men for the Lord in saving them and discipling them is that worthy pursuit we should engage in. Being a part of the transformation of souls is fulfilling. Our stay on earth is to see men transformed by the word.

Thanksgiving must be learned and become a very vital part of our walk with God. Giving of thanks removes your mind from impossibility. The giving of thanks keeps your mind focused on the power of God.

It is only in the light there's clarity and understanding. The Spirit of God is the light of God in us by the knowledge He has brought us in the gospel. We are able to comprehend the knowledge of God because we are in the light.

Where we are taught the word accurately and instructed to walk in it cannot be overemphasized. A local church where the word is given primary focus and the conduct in it is priceless. We cannot truly know unless we ha e been well taught.

God's purpose for us is to know Him by His word. The knowledge of God is primary in our fellowship with Him. Experiences and encounters aren't. The knowledge of Christ in our hearts is the core in our fellowship with Him. We know Him by His word.

Having people who you know truly pray for you is amazing. Praying for one another isn't supposed to be what you affirm but not put into action. Just like Paul we should have folks whose prayers we trust.

It's in line with God's glory that we suffer for the cause of Christ. Trials that come as a result of our devotions to the gospel glorifies God. There's no shame in suffering for the gospel.

When status or seeming benefits determine our devotions to the cause of Christ then it implies we seek the praise of men. All of the accolades of men mean nothing. One thing that will count is that praise which is from God that will come from our devotions and commitments to His cause.

The believer does not have two natures. We have a new life because the old man has been crucified. We are not the ones who have lusts for the flesh. We must identify with the truth of what Christ has done. We are new creation. We have a new life. Our walk with Christ begins from this new life, that is in the Spirit. Glory to God.

Heaven or hell isn't the goal for the believer. The eternity of the believer has already being determined in Christ. The goal of the believer is to live a life that glorifies Christ hence pleasing Him.

Ministry must be done according to the will of God. The will of God is that men come to the full knowledge of the promise of life and the import of this life. We are ministers by the will of God not by the will of God, therefore our obedience must be strictly towards God and His will.

Presenting the church undefiled should also be our focus. The message we feed the church with will be retained in them. It will either keep them undefiled or corrupt their mind from the sincerity which is in Christ.

The greatest expression of the very incorruptible life that we now have is love. Love is spiritual growth. Love is true maturity..

This is an instruction to the church. Treating prophecies with contempt isn't the way of the Spirit, rather we should test the spirit, that is, the influence behind the utterance.

Love is the expression of the incorruptible nature of God in us. Love can't go wrong. I mean the love of found which isn't separate from truth. We were born again to fully give expression to the love of the Father in us.

We must stick with that which is doctrinally accurate. Our practices must be in line with the truth of God's word. This is what being apostolic is all about. Just as is being already given in the word we must stick to in the church.

Jesus is the mediator for men. In that He has reconciled men to God through His redemptive work. Man must receive it. For us the church He isn't mediating for us. He is in us and we have fellowship with Him.
