WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT?

Who would have ever thought that I would see this glorious day?

The day the LORD will take me from zero to hero

Take me from the gutters and make me a royal

Who would have ever thought?

SURRENDER DAILY

We do not incline our ears to His Word because we know Him.

We do not accept the truth because we can hear Him too.

We see visions and dream dreams so we are closer to Him.

We have stayed in His house for some years so He is our friend.

THE GARMENT OR THE FAITH?

Let us consider Matthew 9:20-22:

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

I PERCEIVE POWER GOING FROM ME

On one busy day Peter and some faithful followers thought that Jesus was either being unreasonable or maybe looking for an opportunity to teach from the library of His divine parables. In the midst of crowds Jesus asked who touched My clothes? (Mk. 5:30).

THRONGING OR TOUCHING?

As I read through the book of Mark today I came across one of the most powerful passages. A passage filled with faith, and I realized that that was the exact passage I used to preach my first faith sermon. It is about the woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years.

WHAT MAKES THE NAME OF JESUS SO POWERFUL

           

 “And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name” (1 Sam. 25:5).

David said, “…and greet him in my name.” David did not send them in own name but in his name. The reason is David associated his name with his person and personality. What was it about David’s person and personality? David was the one who killed Goliath and through whom God gave victory over the Philistines to Israel. The fame of David had spread abroad because of his victory over Goliath. He was therefore known as a mighty and bold warrior.

SPEAK TO UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS IN JESUS’ NAME

Are you suffering from sickness, barrenness, financial difficulties, academic difficulties? Do you see mountains and storms in your life? Do you want to stop the enemy in your life? Whatever the situation is, speak to it by faith in the name of Jesus. Remember at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow- witchcraft, business setbacks and the knees of occultism shall bow to the name of Jesus.

BE PERFECT

One of the admonishments of Jesus which has become very debatable in the Kingdom is “be perfect”. Many people including believers have considered the whole issue of perfection to be something impossible. I do believe the same too. As far as we are in this world struggle for perfection is only but a tribulation. Perfection is a state of excellence without faults, errors or flaws. This state cannot be achieved easily in the earth realm because nuggets of evil thoughts, lusts, etc. bombard us round about daily.

POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS

       One day I wanted to praise and worship God before I sleep. Knowing what kind of dreams God gives me when sleep I usually worship before I sleep. I wanted that night to be no exception. God normally shows me such wonderful things as casting out devils, visions of angels and events of the future.   

LIVING AS GOD PLANNED - LOVE (Part 1)

Love is one asset that cannot be underestimated. Love, as defined by me, is that driving force that binds a group of people together and shows that they are of a common opinion. How? I will show you from the Word of God.

Now there are some characteristics and features of love we must consider. For this reason we would have to critically take a look at 1 Corinthians 13. This is the passage from which we find love as being patient, kind, not jealous and etc. But what we fail to look at are the conditions for which love holds.

THE EXTRAORDINARY SHEPHERD

One of the most famous – if not the famous verse of scripture in Christendom is Psalm 23 which opens with the statement, “The Lord is my Shepherd…” This text has gained so much popularity because of the intensity of the declarations which were carefully constructed by the psalmist in his prayer. But in this article I am much interested in the opening statement. I would however relate this scripture to the fourteen year service of the patriarch Jacob for his desired bride – Rachel.

DESPISE THE SHAME

The prophet declared
“For to us a child is born
To us a son is given”
That through Him man may be restored.

An angel spoke saying
“You will be with child and give
Birth to a son and you are
To call Him Jesus”.

THE VEIL AND THE LIVING WAY

Last year, around May, I was an officiating minister of an engagement with two other ordained ministers. Such a glorious occasion that was. Everyone was glad. The part that fascinated me so much was after the exchange of the rings. The man of God stood between the bride and groom and said, “I’m the only one standing in between these couple for which reason they cannot marry.” Then he move backward, joined the hands of the couple and pulled them together, and said’ “From now, I, being middle wall of separation have forever stepped aside, and by the power vested in me…I pronounce you husband and wife”.

THE MANTLE OF PURITY

 

A mantle is a piece of cloak worn to symbolize authority. It is normally not the main dress, but a piece of cloth worn on the actual dress. Very often we only attribute a mantle to its way of projecting authority, but in this article I am going to reveal the ability of a mantle to symbolize purity. Authority is very important but purity is much a dangerous arsenal to wag a good warfare. With purity as a mantle the enemy is silenced once for all from accusing and pointing his finger of contempt at you.

THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

     The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans expressed his zeal to preach the gospel of Christ without shame. Though he had not been to the church in Rome, Paul wrote this letter to teach them that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel of Christ. The Gospel of Christ, however, is the sum total of the teachings and life of Jesus Christ. It was in those days a great challenge for a Jew to proclaim the gospel because the Jews had rejected Him (Christ) and even called Him a devil. Not only that but He was delivered into the hands of gentiles (that is, the Romans) to be killed.

14 INCREDIBLE QUOTES ON SOUL WINNING

    To bring the Holy Word of God to humanity, God move holy men by His Holy Spirit to write His oracles, which we call the Bible. God authored the Bible by inspiring men to write. The same way God has chosen men and women to do His work, and has filled them with His wisdom. These men and women of God however had the same commission, to win souls. “Let’s plunder hell and populate heaven” says Rodney Howard-Brown. Here are fourteen incredible quotes on soul winning; 

1. God forms man, sin deforms him, the school informs him but only Christ transforms him, therefore preach Christ to ALL Men – C. H. Spurgeon 

THE MAN WHO CARRIED JESUS’ CROSS

Oh, what a day that would never be forgotten in the history of both mortals and immortals; the day when an immortal-mortal was annihilated by treacherous mortals. This event has however made a peculiarly indelible impression upon history – the day Jesus Christ died. He was beaten mercilessly, mocked bitterly, insulted obscenely and spat upon awfully. All eyes were on Him with every mouth speaking about Him. The headline of the day, “Crucify Him”. He was the most wearied of men, yet He was made to carry an unbearable piece of timber unto the hill of his execution.

12 REASONS WHY EVANGELISM IS IMPORTANT

     I have always thought of a better way to define Evangelism, until Jesus opened my understanding into the Four Gospels. From thence I have defined Evangelism as the ability of a Christian to obey the Great Commission, which is going everywhere to make disciples for Jesus Christ.

THE SOUR WINE AND THE CURSE OF MANKIND

Obliterating the curses upon humanity was an important facet of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Jesus came unto the earth realm to save mankind from condemnation. Man had been condemned by earning curses from the Almighty God. These curses are the embargo God placed upon the entire human race because of sin.

(Sin is the violation of God. What do I mean? When an individual sin, he or she has not just sinned but sinned against God. For example if a girl of five is raped she has been violated not necessarily the violation of the constitutional laws. What is the essence of the constitution without the people?

JESUS – HIS KILLERS WERE ENVIOUS OF HIM

 

Complete humility was the nature of this young Rabbi from Nazareth. His name was Jesus – Jesus who claimed to be Christ, the Messiah which the Jews had been expecting. Yes, the long awaited Saviour. The same came unto His people but was rejected by them. Not only did they reject Him, they slaughtered Him like a year old lamb. Approaching His death was not to Him a fear at all, for He knew He was born to die for mankind. The prophets of the Scripture had prophesied and spoken of His fate long before the conception of His earthly parents. He definitely knew why He was born – to deliver His own people from the tyrant who torments them, Sin. But His own people rose up against Him. They killed Him because of their pride and envy.
