The age old question we all ask in desperate times is "Where is God?". The truth is; He's in the same place he has always been. Its our duty to find where God lives and place ourselves there.

One thing we must always recognize in our lives is that; God is not the author of confusion. when we are faced in circumstances that we feel we cannot handle, we must fight the urge to want to act on our scattered thoughts. The word of God reveals Jesus has gone before us and He is the one to lead us to our destiny.

dsIts fair to say we are more prone in doubting the endless possibilities of God. Our text proves that God rises to the challenge of demonstrating his limitless power to and for his people.

When life gets difficult it tends to leave us clinging to menial tasks. The widow from Zarepath proves to be a great illustration of how the gospel can come into our lives and transform us from the inside out. God has the power to take what we have and what we do, and transform it into something of purpose. Many think this transformation is difficult but for God its a piece of cake.

We are living in a generation that is driven by finding your true identity. The problem people are facing is that when we focus only on the exterior, we are never settled in that identity. Scripture reveals that being at peace with a true identity always begins with focusing on the inside. 

Jonah goes down in history as a man who ran away from the will of God. This made him a fugitive, running from what God had called him to do. We all can wrestle with the will of God from time to time, but what stands always true is that its always best to do what God would want us to do.

Satan has a very predictable strategy that has worked for thousands of years, that is to trip over all those who believe in Jesus Christ. Yet we have a  greater power to overcome the devils strategies if we choose to remain busy in the Heavenly Kingdom business. 

The temptation is to focus on the physical, the trouble is that this perspective takes us away from the supernatural. Our challenge is to look beyond the Hills, not to the glory of the hills but rather to the one who created the Hills.

Tears are the expression of the soul. We all face real circumstances that can leave us lost and even ensnared. The hope we draw from the women with the alabaster box is that Jesus receives our sorrow and turns it into joy. This is for all we dare to fall at his feet.

History reveals the importance of having a strong harbour. Its important to understand that everything flows from our hearts, this is why God challenges us to guard it from every strategy of the enemy. The promise that flows for those who guard their hearts is a life that God himself is proud of and puts on display. Rhodes won a great victory against Macedonia and constructed a statue to honour th...

Here we see what God can do through a life obsessed with fulfilling His will. Many of us can be caught up, distracted and obsessed with things that don't matter in eternity. If we are wise, we can take what little we have, give it to god and he can help us build something that weathers every storm, saving not just ourselves but those around us too.

It always amazes me at Gods ability to deliver us from ourselves, our sins and our enemies. Despite our greatest flaws God is still willing to reach out and deliver us, if we are willing to allow him.

Jesus puts us in places that we may not understand but all can achieve the furtherance of Gods heavenly kingdom. Here we see how two men with a passion for Jesus were able to rescue sinners from an eternal damnation. What did they use? Their voices. 

Nothing prevents us from moving forward like holding on to unforgiveness. Jesus has given us the power to overcome these deep rooted emotions and press forward to all that God has for us.

Peter shows us that even in the heat of adversaries it’s still in our best interest to stand for our Lord and Saviour.

The greatest lie you can believe is that the devil makes you commit sin. The Bible tells us that we sin because we want to sin, therefore we must understand what scriptures says in regards to mind control, so we can overcome every strategy and temptation of the devil.

According to what Jews believed, Cornelius was a person born on the wrong side of the religious tracks. Yet God chose to visit this Roman centurion via a vision, this one encounter with God opened the doors for all gentiles to come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ, be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in other tongues.

We would all prefer to be told our zipper is down and save us being humiliated. Yet we struggle to take advice or better yet receive correction from a brother or sister in Christ. Jesus uses a powerful imagery that helps us to understand the ramifications of us not becoming self aware.

Theresa May the prime minister in the UK, is In charge of organising brexit. People know it’s not in her. She doesn’t want it to happen. The same can be true in regards to us a Christian’s. knowing what to say, how to say it but in reality deep down we don’t believe it.

The Dragnet principle is one that challenges us at the very centre of our Christian walk. It’s imperative we honestly choose whom it is we will serve.

Scripture reveals that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God", with this reality hanging on us, it has the potential of keeping us away from the presence of God. Guilty people would rather hide than confess, yet our God is merciful and His promise is to forgive those who approach Him correctly.

Every day is filled with choices we have to make, these will either cause us to grow closer to God or cause us to drift further away.

A study on staying focused and determined on obtain the promises God has given to us in the past. 

When you consider the incredible blessings and promises our God has made for each of us, it would be a great tragedy if we never received any because of our inability to let go of the world

Because of our lower nature man has created an image of god by what he thinks is right. Watch how Paul and Barnabas guide non believers into a firm understanding of the one true God.
