Obedience

DATE 28th February, 2023 TOPIC Obedience LIVING SCRIPTURE John 2:5 KJV His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Mary the earthly mother of Jesus Christ understood the potentials of her son and saw him as more than her son. She knew what the encounter she had before her pregnancy meant and the instructions given to her and Joseph. She also knew what obedience would do for anyone that yields to it in service to God because she obeyed and listened to God. At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, she was invited likewise Jesus Christ and His disciples, but the provision of wine for the guests was finished and it seem like there was no hope. Mrs Mary Joseph observed the situation and without hesitation went straight to Jesus and informed him of the situation that they needed wine. And she returned to her duty despite the response of Christ to her, she knew the God she served. She instructed the servants to simply obey the voice of Christ and when the ti

Follow His Spirit

DATE 27th February, 2023 TOPIC Follow His Spirit LIVING SCRIPTURE John 3:8 KJV The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. As a child of God we must understand the move of God and to walk in this light we need to follow His Spirit. The role of the Holy Spirit in our lives is very significant and valuable. The true sons (children of like heirs with Christ Jesus) are always led by the Spirit of Christ. There are many forces and spirits out there and we must choose whom to follow, either the Holy Spirit or several of the roaming spirits. We see how the church was led by the Holy Spirit into massive revival in Jerusalem on the day of pentecost after receiving the baptism of fire. Also we see the man from Gadara, who was led by unclean spirits (legions i.e. thousands of them). The man followed their disturbing voices and was always in grave torments a

Give Thanks

DATE 25th February, 2023 TOPIC Give Thanks LIVING SCRIPTURE 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD as an expression of gratitude for the visible and invisible works. Thanksgiving is one of the actions that man cannot over render unto God, if possible our daily statements should be surrounded with thanksgiving. When we show our love and appreciation unto the LORD, we truly reveal the state of our hearts, which is where God does His business with. A man that cannot appreciate the LORD cannot truly appreciate men though he appear grateful but the statements of the heart says otherwise. When is the right time to give thanks? One may ponder! When we are expectant alone? Or when we receive good tidings and gifts? These seasons are all good times to show appreciation but we must recognize also that in mourning we should give thanks, in little, in seemingly unfa

Forgive

DATE 24th February, 2023 TOPIC Forgive (The Way of Peace) LIVING SCRIPTURE Mark 11:25-26 KJV And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  [26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Forgiveness helps a believer in so many ways, when we forgive scripturally which is the only recommended way, we find peace first with God then with ourselves and our neighbors. When someone offends us, it's okay to be annoyed or feel angry or upset in the moment but it should not linger on in our hearts and minds. We need to forgive them whether they apologize or not. Knowing that forgiveness helps us more that have found a way of peace in Christ Jesus which cannot be found anywhere else. Jesus Christ teaches in the book of Mark 11 a common hinderance to our speaking power and praying power. When we speak as children of God we should possess

Your Care, His Priority

DATE 23rd February, 2023 TOPIC Your Care, His Priority LIVING SCRIPTURE 1 Peter 5:7 KJV Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. It's a wonderful sight to know that the Most High God, our Heavenly Father cares for His children and not just that, He makes it His priority. We are valuable and precious in the sight of God as His children and the LORD has never stopped expressing His heart to us. He is aware of everything and all the happenings here on earth, nothing escapes His eyes. The scripture reveals in 2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him... For this to happen we need to value His care, we need to ask and seek Him daily through His words and Holy Spirit. When we pause each moment to recall all the goodness of God towards us then we'll truly appreciate and serve the LORD with utmost reverence. The church today is the top

Comforter

DATE 22nd February, 2023 TOPIC Comforter LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; The life of a child of God is not balanced or complete without the person of the Holy Spirit. Before the death of Christ Jesus, a promise was made to the church that we shall not remain helpless and misguided but through prayer to the Father we shall receive another comforter and support forever. There are many Christians in the world who have not received the gift of God and some have received the gift but don't know how to communicate with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a care giver and support system for all who are in Christ Jesus not for a selected few but for all who believes. The household of Cornelius the centurion in Acts of the Apostles 10.. were baptized with the Holy Spirit immediately after their salvation in Christ Jesus. This was because they've been hungry for comfort,

The Race

DATE 21st February, 2023 TOPIC The Race LIVING SCRIPTURE Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. The practical aim of every race is to bring out a fulfilled goal or an achievable trophy. When a child of God engage in any race or competition physically, it becomes paramount to come out as first and best but such will need quality training and help from the LORD. For a believer who has a winner's mind set, in order to win the physical race or competition, needs the undeserved favor of God that uplifts a man. The case study this morning brings our focus to Daniel and his friends, (Shadrach, Mishael and Abednego) who were brought to the king's palace in Babylon, where the king desired to have the best counsellors standing at his side. It was a ra

Glorious Exodus

DATE 20th February, 2023 TOPIC Glorious Exodus  LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 12:35-36 KJV And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:  [36] And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. The children of Israel lived in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years. The major years aside from the time of Joseph the son of Jacob the prime minister, Israel did suffer at the hands of task masters assigned by the pharaoh that did not know Joseph nor had any regard for the children of God. Time passed by and according to the prophecy of the LORD the four hundred and thirty years were completed. And when it was time to leave Egypt for good and the Lord had made a way and prepared His servant, Moses to be deliverer. And God visited the entire Egypt with His outstretched arms and sh

The Good Old Path

DATE 18th February, 2023 TOPIC The Good Old Path LIVING SCRIPTURE Jeremiah 6:16 KJV Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. The World today is filled with new path ways and different trends and formations. So many religions and beliefs present today and even some of the very elect of God are following these trends. The Lord speaks this morning to His beloved children, take a pause in your pursuit for happiness and peace, stop for a bit and observe the ways set before you. Many friends will advise otherwise, the internet will advertise otherwise, the spiritual will do likewise but the way of righteousness will stand on the lane of Truth in Christ Jesus. After thorough observations, we need to see life for ourselves and not what someone else tells us it's all about. God directs us to ask a valid question that will

Growing In Faith

DATE 17th February, 2023 TOPIC Growing In Faith LIVING SCRIPTURE Luke 17:5 KJV And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. The disciples of Jesus Christ desired to grow and increase in ways of the LORD and they knew that their faith must increase i.e their ability to listen to the light of God's Word and act on them. This very request showed how much they wanted to be like Jesus. This morning we need to have the desire to grow and increase else we'll remain in the same spot of spiritual strength and height. A believer that is stagnant will soon be exhausted by the things of this world. When the faith of a believer is increased, such individual will come to the light of true knowledge of the things he or she was ignorant of that occasionally would have caused offenses or lead to unnecessary arguments and fights. If any man lives or dwells in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation with new abilities and capacities that will respond to the revelation and voice

Giving God your Best

DATE 16th February, 2023 TOPIC Giving God your Best LIVING SCRIPTURE Mark 12:30-31 KJV And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  [31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Serving the LORD must be done through anchor scripture in order to give Him our best we need His guiding words as a lamp unto our feet and shining light to show us the way. Our Lord Jesus revealed how He personally gave His best to God which is broken down into two methods:  1. An expression of love to the LORD God that requires the best of us which notably are; our hearts show how deep we can go all out for God as the most vital of our possessions; giving God the best from our Soul, consciously, willingly and intentional; giving God our mind palace to meditate on His Words and think about His go

Worshippers

DATE 15th February, 2023 TOPIC Worshippers LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 119:164 KJV Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. The life of King David is a testimony today because of how he devoted his heart to serve the LORD. Before his fame or kingship he was an addict, hooked on true worship to the King. Young David was a shepherd boy who no one in the community or his family thought much of neither imagined that he could amount to anything in the land of Israel. What eluded them was the fact that David had a deep connection with the LORD who watched over him because he was chosen. Our heart condition matters at the place of worship, David made instruments, wrote spiritual songs (Psalms) and more as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit at the place of true worship. He never lacked inspiration or words to describe the LORD, he flowed like the gentle stream and today his songs and psalms are still alive and sustained by God. Worship is not just talking o

The Way of Truth

DATE 14th February, 2023 TOPIC The Way of Truth  LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The way of Truth is a culture, a way of life to as many who are in Christ Jesus here on earth. This addresses the matter of our communication and approach to the Father. It is only those found in the lifestyle of Christ Jesus that can approach the Father in prayer, giving, worship and fellowship. The Way of Truth is a choice for mankind to decide on and choose either Truth or lies. There's no standing in-between, Jesus needed his sheep to only listen to one voice and sound for everything, that's why the scripture reads in John 10:27 KJV My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: This is the way of life & for all who are in Christ, obedience must come to play in our hearts and by these the Lord knows those that are his. The world today is filled with customs and tra

Thou Art Loosed

DATE 13th February, 2023 TOPIC Thou Art Loosed LIVING SCRIPTURE Luke 13:12 KJV And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. The eyes of the LORD sees all and knows all and visits His children in due time. It was the sabbath day and everyone came to listen to word of God from the holy scriptures. Different people with diverse situations and circumstances, and amongst them was a certain woman bent over for 18 years by Satan. While the sermon was going on, Jesus Christ noticed her condition and distress and attended to her. The anointing of God rest upon Christ Jesus to bind and to loose and this was demonstrated by Him on the woman with infirmity. It was a wonder to many as Jesus Christ only spoke a powerful sentence into her life and touched her with his hands and she immediately became straight from the bondage that bounded her for years. As we believe in the anointing and power of Christ Jesus this morning, we shall also

Love Never Dies

DATE 11th February, 2023 TOPIC Love Never Dies LIVING SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 13:8 AMP Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. The love of God towards mankind is pure, true, trusting, lasting, forgiving, kind, appreciative, beautiful but it never dies nor fails. It is spread abroad in every heart by the Holy Ghost through the grace of God. Majority of people who say love dies speaks of the worldly affections and emotions not the love of Christ Jesus to the church. We see in the scripture that true love even when faced with so many things and issues of life, it never dies, it never fails. Christ Jesus went through much for mankind and through it all He never complained nor hated us for our disobedience or actions. The scripture reads in the book of Romans that while we were yet sinners (disobedient, corrupt, greedy, sinful, murderous, slan

Understanding the Grace of God

DATE 10th February, 2023 TOPIC Understanding the Grace of God LIVING SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 KJV For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.  [10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God came via the Son of God and we see this truth in the book of John 1:17 KJV For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. We must understand this truth that the grace we enjoy today is as result of our Lord Jesus entrance into the mortal realm to make a way for us through impossible channels of life. This truth of the unlimited ever-flowing grace of God came to God's children who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.  We see Apostle Paul's testimony in the anchor scripture about his rise into the men of impact

Helper

DATE 9th February, 2023 TOPIC Helper LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; It is very important to ask for help and that's the reason we have the person of the Holy Spirit. We need help and until we admit that we do, we'll be left struggling with life's situations and circumstances. Jesus walked with the Holy Spirit and his engagements was perfect, nothing could hinder his mission or fellowship. In like terms we as children of God must totally depend on the comforter. Apostle Paul lived a life helped by the Holy Spirit and was separated from the rest. He is so close to us but not many know this, there are struggling christians in the body of Christ today that are without the gift of the Holy Spirit. Ministers, members and children of God struggle when the helper is absent in our lives. It took the baptism of fire for Apostle Peter to be able to manifest and lead the church. 

The Seed of Forgiveness

DATE 8th February, 2023 TOPIC The Seed of Forgiveness LIVING SCRIPTURE Genesis 45:4 KJV And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. The life of Joseph the son of Jacob in the light of forgiveness comes to our hearts this morning. Born into a polygamous family, and the eleventh son was enough excuse for him to feel little, unappreciated and unrecognized in the family. But all these carnal thoughts and ways never affected him, rather he gave himself to diligence, study, wisdom and the fear of God. Joseph had in him the seed of forgiveness, we see this several times in the book of Genesis, when he was despised, hated and envied by his brothers for being a true child of God. His brothers connived together to kill him but God's mercy made them to sell him to the Ishmaelite slave traders who sold him to Mr Potiphar. He was seduced and betrayed by Mrs Potiphar and sent to pr

The Sound of Freedom

DATE 7th February, 2023 TOPIC The Sound of Freedom LIVING SCRIPTURE John 8:32 KJV And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The nation of Israel suffered deep bondage and captivity for several years and were oppressed daily by the Egyptians. Children were born into harsh environments, no joy, no proper education than the knowledge of labour. But the LORD had a plan to set them free, which involved Moses his servant. Shortly after the incident between an Israelite and an egyptian, Moses fled out of Egypt and on his stay with Jethro, he hear the sound of freedom. It was the voice of the LORD with the mysterious wonder of a bush burning but not consumed. And following this unusual sound brought about the freedom Israel enjoys today. The voice of the LORD is the sound of freedom. His voice, his name, his blood, his words of truth and Spirit contains the sound of freedom. Whenever we discover hidden mysteries from the Bible we receive a new sound to set us

The Light of the World

DATE 6th February, 2023 TOPIC The Light of the World LIVING SCRIPTURE John 8:12 KJV Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. In the beginning God made the Heaven and the earth and also the great lights and stars. Amongst which we have the Sun and the Moon to give light to mankind. But these lights and stars are not sufficient to lighten the world nor expel darkness and sin. They lack the capacity to save mankind from the wiles of the devil. In the days Noah, mankind dived into deep immoralities that the Sun could not swipe their sins and many lives died in disobedience and sin. The Sun and the Moon are for the seasons and times here on earth in favor to man. Part of the limitation of both lights is thag they cannot shine at once over the earth. The good news this morning reads boldly from the anchor scripture, ...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me

Let Wisdom Speak

DATE 4th February, 2023 TOPIC Let Wisdom Speak LIVING SCRIPTURE Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 AMP Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun.  [12] For wisdom is a protection even as money is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors. The way of wisdom is the way of the LORD and only the wise shall find it and dwell in it. Wisdom is the principal thing and it is primarily an important virtue needed by man for a peaceful and healthy living. When wisdom speaks it cancels strife and ejects foolishness and misbehaviors. King David was a man of angelic wisdom and he was protected by it and this Spirit called wisdom became a seed of inheritance passed down to Solomon who also craved for the taste of God's given wisdom to rule with knowledge and understanding. He found out that wisdom supercedes the most crafty or cunning. With wisdom as a voice no sound

My Defence

DATE 2nd February, 2023 TOPIC My Defence LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 7:10 KJV My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. Psalm 73:25 KJV Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. The prayer of King David, acknowledging the LORD as his only defence both in heaven and on earth. King David went through so many battles in his life time, he fought animals like lion and bear; he fought Goliath of gath and destroyed him; he fought kings and kingdoms, thieves and bandits. But in all these, he knew his source of protection, it was not his wisdom or wits, not his mighty men or weapons, his defence remains the LORD Most High. King David saw God's covering and protection in different ways, as a Rock, a Refuge, a Shield, a Tower, a Strong Tower, a High Tower, as a Wing, as a Feather, each meant to him more in the way and manner God stepped into his case. His trust was in the God of his salvation and he was never disappointed. S
