There is an assignment that God has given His children to engage in faithfully because it is very paramount in His heart. It is an assignment that brought Jesus into the world and that He has handed over to all believers. In today's Morning Devotion, the importance of this assignment, which is soul-winning, is emphasized, and believers are made to understand that soul-winning is the primary Kingdo...

It is interesting to note that the Bible is emphatic on the fact that Jesus is coming back a second time into the world. He came before, to redeem mankind from sin, death, and destruction, and He is coming again to judge the world of sin and unrighteousness. Today's Morning Devotion, in confirming this important Bible prophecy, implores everyone, especially believers in Christ Jesus, to be prepare...

The Bible is very strong on the danger of the believer in Christ being in love with the world. It equates such love or friendship with the world as an enmity with God, and declares that the love for the world and its lusts will expire, and only those who love God and the things of His Kingdom will abide eternally. Today's Morning Devotion affirms this and goes on to encourage believers to set thei...

It is a well-known truth that a man is a product of his association or company. A companion of the wise will be wise, and a companion of fools will become foolish. This is equally applicable to the type of counsel and counsellors that one has access to. An individual with wise counsel from godly counsellors will definitely navigate life better than the one with an ungodly or bad counsellor. This i...

There is a strength that comes through knowing God and having implicit confidence in Him. Such strength overcomes obstacles, challenges, and adversaries, and it is the type of strength that every believer in Christ requires and should endeavour to possess. This is the focus of today's Morning Devotion, encouraging believers to believe in God and have unwavering faith in Him -- in His love and abil...

One of the greatest things that man lost to the devil when he yielded to his persuasion and disobeyed God was his freedom. When man disobeyed God's instruction in the Garden of Eden, he handed over his God-given authority to the devil, and he became a puppet in the hands of the devil, and an object of oppression to him. Man lost his liberty and became a slave to sin and to the devil. In this podca...

There is a group of people that God delights in and is always on the lookout for -- to bless. These are givers. God loves and delights in people who are not self-centred but are always eager to be a blessing to others.

There are people in the world today who are of the opinion that God is no longer in control of the affairs of the world. There is nothing farther from the truth than this as God is still firmly in control of the affairs of this world notwithstanding the manner in which the devil is presently on the rampage in his attempt at derailing God's plan for the world and for mankind. This is the focus of t...

There is the need for every man to have a right identity of who he is in order to achieve the full potential for his life. Everyone must be able to sincerely answer the question, "Who are you?" This will guide him in navigating the challenges of life. Today's Morning Devotion is clear on this, that it takes a man with the right identity of himself to successfully navigate life's journey. This is t...

Jesus came into the world to demonstrate God's love to mankind by laying down His life for the sins of the world. He destroyed the works of the devil in the lives of men, and set them free from the dominion of the devil.

When God created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, He instituted marriage in which the man and his wife were to be one - united in love with one another, and united in their love for God. Today's Morning Devotion reminds us that this unity of the man and his wife in marriage has not been done away with as God still demands unity between the couple, and harmony in their home. He made them one fro...

God created man to exercise dominion over His creation, and over the devil and his demons. The devil, however, succeeded in usurping this God-given power and authority from man, and subjected mankind to various attacks, hostilities, and oppression thereafter. Today's Morning Devotion brings to light this truth, that God created man to take charge and not to be subjugated. Man was created to take o...

Envy and jealousy have been known since the creation of man and, despite their destructive and evil nature, their practice has continued to thrive among men. It is strongly condemned by God and the Bible, and it is not to be entertained among believers. This is the focus of today's Morning Devotion, warning all of the dangers of these terrible vices. All are admonished to steer clear of envy and j...

When Jesus came into the world, He did not only come for the purpose of destroying the works of the devil, or delivering mankind from his grip and power, He also came to dispossess the devil of the power and authority that he usurped from man, and return the power to man, the rightful owner. In this podcast, Dr. Charles Abiodun makes it clear that God's power has been made available to those who b...

His glory, power, and protection are a few of the benefits of experiencing the presence of God. Today's Morning Devotion throws more light on this, and makes it clear that an atmosphere of God's worship always...

Forgiveness is a unique character of God that makes His grace to be available to mankind, even when they do not deserve it. It is a character of God that He desires, and commands men, especially His children - believers - to possess and manifest to one another at all times. In today's Morning Devotion, the need to emulate our Lord Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to forgive those who crucified H...

One who has a good understanding of God's power, might, and character will agree that He does not operate the way men do, because His ways are not like the ways of men. Men believe in military power and strategizing in winning wars, but God does not need a multitude or a large army to prosecute and win a battle. Today's Morning Devotion highlights the importance of praise in winning life's battles...

There must be no disloyalty in any form. This is the focus of today's Morning Devotion, drawing attention to the need for the people of God to be totally committed and loyal to God at all times and in every way. They are to love...

He was faithful in meeting the needs of the children of Israel throughout their journey through the wilderness and even after they got to the promised land. Today's Morning Devotion is a focus on God as Jehovah Jireh, the Lord God who provides. God's faithfulness at meeting the needs of His people eve...

One of the major themes that run through the entire Bible is God's protection for His children. The Bible is full of accounts about God's protection for the children of Israel in the Old Testament, and this protection is still available today for God's people, because God is the same as He had always been. Today's Morning Devotion emphasizes the truth that no weapon formed against God's people wil...

There is so much deception, falsehood, and hypocrisy in the world that we are living in today. There are false prophets and fake ministers of God, that it is becoming difficult to determine who to believe. In today's Morning Devotion, the need to be discerning, identify, and associate with the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of God, is emphasized. It is the responsibility of every individual, especial...

In fellowshipping with God, and maintaining good communication with Him, prayer is highly essential, as this is the most viable means of communication with God. In this podcast, Dr. Charles Abiodun draws attention to the need for all, especially believers in Christ, to become persevering and passionate in their prayer life a...

One of the most remarkable miracles that God did for the children of Israel while journeying through the wilderness was the daily provision of manna, a special type of bread, for them to eat, for forty years, until they entered into the promised land. In today's Morning Devotion, a contrast is drawn between the manna the children of Israel had in the wilderness, and the Bread of life that believer...

It is very important to realise that, in life, the spiritual location of a man is more important than his physical location. This is because the spiritual always determines the physical. Today's Morning Devotion makes us realise that God was not only referring to Adam's physical location, but also his spiritual location, when He asked him, "Where are you?" This is because Adam's fall had resulted...

The Bible leaves no one in doubt about God's love for man, and about His hatred for sin that made man lose fellowship with Him.
