Iron Gate and The Wooden Door-Peter’s Gate And Rhoda’s Door The title of a sermon I heard preached by a reverend gentleman over thirty years ago. The message touched the core of my being then and has kept finding its way to the fore time and time again in my life. Have you ever seen yourself in situations where God had moved and those who should know would not budge or they out rightly disapprove?...

Be strong:" Two words we will hear at some point in our sojourn in life. Words that in themselves embody communication that goes beyond the surface. It does not matter what situation of life placed a demand on the strength stored within. When there is a pull for strength, it is most likely life presenting us with opportunities to stretch and unleash new levels of growth and development. The proces...

Ancient Words.....Michael W. Smith. Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to him: “Forgive 
all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer 
the fruit of our lips (Hosea 14:2) Dave: Good morning Baba, I am here again and this time I have a lot to say. You know it is the beginning of another year, I have written my goals and I know you will grant them. BABA: I thought you learnt...

One Thing Is Needful: The Power 
Of Focusing On The Major Deal Ever found yourself swarmed by activities that centre on Jesus but have your inner self feeling disconnected? Have you ever felt the helplessness of knowing something ought to be done, and you do not have a grip on that one thing? Jesus was the subject of the gathering. He was the major deal; many people were there and that for various...

Provoked To Destiny Our culture only considered you fruitful or worthy of any honour when you have children. I didn't have any, even though I had been married for several years; long enough for my husband’s younger wife to have sons and daughters. I shall not tell you exactly how many years that was, just know they are many. I am sure you already figured out how many years I must have been barren?...

O Jacob, how can you say the LORD does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and ti...

WHEN GREATNESS MEETS PREPARATION The patriarch needed to ensure his boys were all right on the battlefield. He had some nudging that he did not quite understand how to interpret them. He knew God was about to do something that involved his household. He could not quite place it, so he decided to ask after his boys. That was the least he could do under the circumstances. He sent another boy, the yo...

Mother love I came out dirty You drew me bosom close Smothered with warmth Kisses and songs I came out crying With your joy Sorrow doors slammed shut Gentle words, earths welcome Your eyes my first, Your hands, my blanket your voice my rhythm your care my comfort Indescribable love with you, my beauty defined you believed, no wrong in me with your push, the world mine is Always beside me No compla...

Light, Light And More Light!!! In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness...

Saul Defeats the Amalekites One day Samuel said to Saul, “It was the LORD who told me to anoint you as king of his people, Israel. Now listen to this message from the LORD! This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I have decided to settle accounts with the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came from Egypt. Now go and completely destroy the entire Amalekite nation—men, wo...

The sign read; “Beware, Land Mines on site.” I walked gingerly on. I knew I was on the right path. My guide made sure I understood the instructions, and I promised I would be careful to read the signposts and obey them to the letter. It was getting dark, and even though I had my camp light, it was nothing compared to daylight. My guide warned me not to presume I knew what I was doing as the site c...

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money wit...

Stay generous, and no door of goodwill shut against you. Before I go, let me tell you a little story. Notice that we have never run out of foodstuff in the house. There is a back end to that; when I was much younger, I used to share my food with one destitute older woman that lived not too far away from our house. I saw she lived alone and she was old. So, I would deliberately ask for a large port...

Hello son, I trust that you are well. Through the years, I have watched you become a man of courage. I watched you my little bow-legged one become a fine gentleman. You always held a promise, but never in a million years could I have imagined where God would take you. You never cease to amaze me. You know, thinking back to when you were a little lad, I praise our God for His mercies in all our liv...

What I have to say to you today would interest you much. It is of utmost importance, and it will benefit you if you give it the attention it deserves. Treat it like your life depends on it because, in truth, it does. Please give me your rapt attention and remember my words. If you set your heart to wisdom, life will come cheaply to you. You will glide through, and the world will wonder what stuff...

So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout...

Everything in life operates in power. The question is, what kind of power? My dear friend, the power you need to operate in your life is from God almighty. It is for that reason that, Jesus, after He had risen from the dead, told the disciples what to do, where to do it and for how long. He told them what to expect and from whence it would come. He also instructed them on what to do after the spir...

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you His servants; praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look o...

LORD , who may enter your Temple? Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill? Those who obey God in everything and always do what is right, whose words are true and sincere, and who do not slander others. They do no wrong to their friends nor spread rumours about their neighbours. They despise those whom God rejects, but honour those who obey the LORD . They always do what they promise, no matter h...

INFORMATION IS NOT ENOUGH, WAIT FOR POWER Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. It was also writt...

Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb. Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint. Then the a...

…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30: 5b He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 2 Sam 22:1`0-12 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the n...

The Walk to Emmaus It has been a very eventful couple of days for the disciples of Jesus, and we would be in order to agree that they were in despair, maybe even confused. Two of them were making their way to Emmaus and discussing the events of the last few days. Jesus joined them and, seeing their sad disposition, asked what the matter was. 
 They let Him know their expectations of Jesus of Nazar...

HE IS ALIVE! Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. T...
