John 9 verse 4 - We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned to us by the one who sent us The night is coming and then no one can work Friends, we are constantly up against time And everything in life has a time factor Eternal life is not eternal time Eternal life is quality of life and not the quantity of time It is the strength of life and not the length of life And your purpose may be divine b...

A lot of people want more. They want to experience more in their relationship with God and in their Christian walk. But the question is, where's the fruit of the measure that you have taken in already? God doesn't accept past glory. When you're fruitful, He prunes you so you can bear more fruit. So when you wake up to say that I studied the Word of God for five hours or I prayed for ei...

Like an Olympic swimmer in shallow waters, cool with average, way below my covenant capacity, comfortable in mediocrity, coping with redundancy, but you've called my name. You saw through my folded arms, you touched my tired heart, El Roy. You saw my face while it was covered, Ebenezer, you saw my helplessness, and you were deeply attracted. You are the potter and I am the clay. My brokenness...

My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins. James 5:19‭-‬20 NLT Christians are lifeguards. We're in the business of rescuing people who have strayed away from the truth. This is not the time for Sec...

Hope for the child of God is a confident assurance of future glory. God will give us all we need so that we can obey Him. God's people don't live on explanations, they live on God's promises - because God's promises reveal God's character. The just shall live by faith! Living by faith is living on His promises, not on explanation. God is not in a hurry because all His works are...

Every good relationship in your life is a gift of grace from God. Are you grateful for meaningful friendship? God sanctifies us through the people He strategically places in our lives as gifts of grace. No human is supposed to be your source of personal joy and contentment. Your loved ones couldn't be the sources of your identity - when you seek to define who you are through those relationship...

God never withholds from His children that which His love and wisdom calls good. Faith is willing not to have that which God is not willing to give!

God is calling us to a perfect standard. To be Holy as He is Holy. Everything God demands, He supplies - we don't have to sweat it. He is willing to use our circumstances to prune us to become more like Christ. It is God who works in us, both to do and to will - of His good pleasures. It is a divine-human partnership where He works in us and we work it out!

The flesh communicates it's cravings through lies The flesh will lie to you so it can fulfill its desires So you get into that situation that you thought you could handle and you fail or fall into sin wondering what really happened to you Many people have fallen into sin because they thought they were capable of handling that evil but the flesh lied You will fall because your flesh actually wants...

When you continue in prayerlessness as a lifestyle, you are embracing ungodliness as a lifestyle. Prayerlessness is self-reliance. We depend on God to desire God - to be more like Christ. ...Whichever approach you adopt - be found praying!

God is more interested in your progress than perfection. Continue listening for further exposition. God bless you!

The more you respond to the Spirit of God, the more you lose the desire to do worldly things. The greatest enemy to your Spiritual growth is your flesh. Discipline is deciding to do the things that you know you should do even irrespective of the influence of your emotions. You remain committed even when it is not convenient for your emotions. Growth is gradual, stop waiting for an emotional experi...

“Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”” Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭41‬ ‭CSB‬‬ God will give you desires but it is up to you to make decisions.

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.”_ (Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬) I don’t want you to know everything, I want you to WALK WITH ME to and through everything! - GOD Have a Blessed week friends.

Sometimes the reward/result of obedience doesn't come immediately. When it doesn't come immediately, it is a test to see if we will remain consistent in the path of obedience. Sometimes God gives us a sign to assure us that what He has promised is going to come to pass. Continue to consistently walk in the path of obedience and righteousness. Much more than the result you get externally is the res...

God created us to worship Him, to love Him, to love people and use money, but what greed does is that it makes you love self, worship money and use people. Greed is the illegitimate and unauthorized desire or pursuit in acquisition of material gain. If you use illegal or immoral means to acquire things, then you're driven by greed. If you complain more than you give thanks then you're driven by gr...

Irrespective of what your flaws are, never allow your mess to keep you far from home. If you feel messy, run home. Our sins change our perspective of God and never God's perspective of us. His steadfast Love keeps chasing after us, and there's no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Though we're incomplete, God loves us completely, though we're imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though...

Sometimes it is not about how many followers you have, it is about who is following you. Your identity isn't in the roles you play - that can be taken away from you. The secret to a settled Identity is the awareness that you belong to God. Your identity is in your connection with God. Who we are is revealed by whose we are. Don't measure yourself by everyone's standard and any other standard. An e...

God is good all the times to those who put their trust in Him. Hopelessness exposes emptiness because it shows what your mind is filled with. If your mind is full of God's word, then your hope is renewed in the light of God's word. The fruit of the Spirit is not seasonal. No matter what we go through in life, we don't stop bearing fruits - even when we find ourselves in circumstances that we can't...

Every step you take away from God complicates your life and multiplies your struggles. Prayer is humility. It is testifying that God is God and you’re not. That you’re limited and He’s not! Every step you take away from God deepens the void that nothing else can fill. Keep your prayers simple, sincere and steadfast. Prayer is humility, consistency, sincerity and simplicity. Men ought always to pra...

Deception is a seed, sin is the fruit and manipulation is the fertilizer. What is produced through deception is sustained through manipulation and it blossoms eventually into destruction. Whatever you're willing to compromise God's standard for is an idol in your heart - and you expose deceptions by exposing your idols. By evaluating your unchecked desires, you will find the idols that you...

The way to conquer sin is not by working hard to change your deeds, but by trusting Jesus to change/transform your desires. Our greatest need is not to try harder, it is a new heart, that produces new desires. Far more important than looking and searching for God's will, it is simply knowing and trusting God that the work He's doing in us is purposeful, progressive and perfect. In Ephesian...

There's a woke culture that has removed conviction of sin and repentance from the gospel. It calls conviction condemnation, embracing the destruction of the family structure under the pretense of love, compassion, inclusivity, embracing sexual pervasion like homosexuality under the pretense of love and kindness, promoting revival without repentance, salvation without repentance from sin, the H...

Abraham was willing to give up Isaac, but He was negotiating with God on Ishmael. Surrendering to God means surrendering everything. Don't hold on to Ismael and let go of Isaac! What is that thing in your life that represents Ishmael? God is asking for it today.
