MARRIAGE

THE GRAND DESIGN!

But I would have you
know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the
man; and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3).

Is marriage a blessing or a curse? I’m sure the response
you’d get for this question would be as varied as the number of people you ask.
Even though the opinions of men differ; the Word of God is consistent: “Whose findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of The Lord” (Proverbs 18:22). Why then do some
marriages become our excuse for skipping church services?

I often wonder why some people live as though marriage is a
curse. I found that some people who used to be very committed in their local
church suddenly become spiritually inert as soon as they are married. Should
your marriage…

LOVE IS THE GREATEST

I wonder what Love is?

Love is caring for another person so much that you always do
what is best for him or her. Love is not just wanting something badly, having a
warm feeling, or having a crush on someone. Real love is much more than that.
Sadly, television shows and worldly music will most likely confuse one about
what it means to truly love another person. Our friends often are not much help
either.

First Corinthians 13 clearly explains what God means by
love. This “Love Chapter” shows us what love is, how we are supposed to love
others, and how God loves us! Amen!

1^stCorinthians 13:4-8; 13 “Love is patient and
kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand
its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when…

THE GOOD NEWS

What is The Good News?

The Good News is that God came to earth as human being (Our
Lord Jesus Christ), paid for our sin, and wants us to live with him in
Paradise.

Why is this Good News? God is offering us freedom, peace,
hope, and eternal life instead of judgement and death.

“This Good News tells us how God makes us right in His
sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scripture
says, ‘It is through faith that a
righteous person has life’” (Romans 1:17).

That really is The
Good News!

May Our God The
Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus
Christ Name, Amen!

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN

Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).

When you study carefully the words of Jesus in the Scripture
above, you’d discover He didn’t say,” Let your light shine….” Rather, He said,
“Let your light so shine…” In other
words, let your light shine so much, until men see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven. Through this verse of Scripture, Jesus lets us
know that the way to so shine is to
do good works-He equates shinning with good works. So when He says, “Let your light so shine,” He’s saying
in essence, “keep up the good works.”

God wants you to maintain your zeal for good works.

What are the good works?…

WHY DID GOD
FLOOD THE WHOLE WORLD

God made the
rain fall and the water rise in order to floor the whole earth so that all the
evil people in the world would drown.

Because of
sin, the world had gotten worse and worse. It was so bad that God became very
sad. God was even sorry that He had created human beings. People were evil,
mean, cruel, and violent.

Before
destroying them, God gave them 120 years to repent, but people only got worse.
Only one person was left in the world who was trying to live God’s way – Noah!

Noah tried
to tell people about God, but no one would listen.

Listen
carefully to those who tell you about living God’s way because all the evil
people will once again be destroyed when God decides to end the world.

May Our God The Almighty…

WALK IN THE
STEPS OF FATHER ABRAHAM

And Melchizedek King of Salem brought
forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the Most High God. And he
blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abrahm of the Most High God, possessor of
heaven and earth: and blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:18-20).

Abraham was
the first person recorded in the Bible to give tithes. He gave tithes to
Melchizedek over 430 years before the Law was given to the children of Israel,
proving that tithing existed before the Law.

The Bible
tells us Abraham is the father of faith, and that all those who are of faith
are children of Abraham, and we belong to Christ Jesus! “And if ye be Christ’s,
then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs…

 TRUST AND OBEY GOD! PUT GOD IN THE PICTURE.

There’s the story of a man driving a convertible on a mountain road, who took an unexpected turn too quickly and went right over the edge. As his car fell, he managed to grab on to a tree sprouting from the cliff face as his car dropped a thousand feet to the canyon floor.

“Help!” he screamed. “Can anyone hear me?” An echo was the only response.

“God, can you hear me?” he cried.

Suddenly the clouds rolled together and a voice like thunder said, “Yes, I can hear you.”

“Will you help me?”

“Yes, I will help you! Do you believe in me?”

“Yes, I believe in You!”

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes, yes, I trust you. Please hurry”.

“If you trust me, then let go of the tree,” thundered the voice.

SONS OF GOD

Now there was a day
when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and satan came
also among them (Job 1:6)

The phrase “Son of God” as used in the scripture above
doesn’t refer to men, but to angels. Satan also came amongst them because he
used to be God’s anointed cherub before he fell (Ezekiel 28:14-15).

However, in the New Testament, the term “Sons of God” is
used differently. It refers to a new race of people; a completely new species
that never existed before. They’re the offspring of the Most High God,
partakers of the divine nature (2Peter 1:4) – Born Again – with the very life
and nature of God. They’re not subject to the ordinary circumstances of life;
they neither burn out nor expire. Like their heavenly Father, they live
forever.

You instantly…

BE DETERMINED! BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUST IN THE LORD,
WHOSE CONFIDENCE IS IN HIM

It takes courage to be led by God. It’s not easy to “break
the mould” and rise above the limits others place on you. When you do, you’ll
face disapproval. Jesus did! When the folks He grew up around said, “isn’t this
the carpenter’s son?…(Matthew 13:55NIV), they were really saying “He should
stay in His place!” when they tell you that, don’t listen…..each of us will
give an account of himself to God (Romans 14:12NIV). In the final audit you’ll
discover that not only is it wrong to be judgmental of others, it’s also wrong
to permit their opinions to control you. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him”. To follow God’s leading you must have
confidence that He loves you in…

JUDGE ALL
PROPHECIES! TEST ALL THINGS; HOLD FAST WHAT IS GOOD. ABSTAIN FROM EVERY FORM OF
EVIL.

My dear friends don’t
believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you.
Not everyone who talks about God comes from God. There are a lot of lying
preachers loose in the world (1 John 4:1 MSG).

Some people
are quick to believe visions, dreams, or prophecies without first finding out
whether or not such visions, dreams or prophecies are in line with the Word of
God. This accounts for the mess many have found themselves in today. A vision,
dream, or prophecy that isn’t consistent with God’s Word, is not from God. In
fact, such visions, prophecies, revelations and dreams should be rebuked in
Jesus Christ Name!

The only
sure way to know if a vision, dream, prophecy or revelation is from God is…

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:20)

Jason Bohn was a college student when he made a hole-in-one golf shot that won him a million dollars.while others may have squandered that money, Bohn had a plan. Wanting to be a pro golfer, he used the money as a living-and-training fund to improve his golf skills. the cash became an investment in his future – an investment that paid off when Bohn won the PGA Tour‘s 2005 B.C Open. Bohn’s decision to invest in the future instead of living for the moment was a wise one indeed.

In a sense, that is what Our Lord Jesus Christ calls us to do. We have been entrusted with resources-time, ability, opportunity-and we decide how to use them…

WHY ME!

The secret things belong to the Lord Our God (Deuteronomy 29:29)

Recently I read Psalm 131, one of my favorite Psalms. In the past, I viewd it as an encouragement to understand that mystery is one of the hallmarks of God’s character. It challenged me to let my mind be at rest, since I am unable to understand all that God is doing in His universe.

But then I saw another side of David’s calm spirit: I am unable to understand all that God is doing in me, and it is impossible to try .

David draw a comparison between a weaned child that no longer fret for what it once demanded, and a soul that has learned the same lesson. It is a call to learn humility, patient, endurance, and contentment in all my circumstances-whatever they are-though I do not…

DIVINE APPOINTMENTS! GOD CAN TURN OBSTACLES INTO
OPPORTUNITIES!

Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them. Acts
16:25

Have you ever been stuck in an airport? For 24 hours? In a
city where you can’t speak the language? Four thousand miles from home?

It happened to a friend recently, and we can learn from his
response. While most of us would find such an inconvenience intolerable, my
friend John saw God’s hand in his delay. As he waited out his forced stay, he
looked for opportunities to connect with fellow passengers. He “happened” to
find some fellow Christians from India – and in talking to them he heard about
a ministry they were involved with.  In
fact, because John’s interest matched his new friends’ ministry, they invited
him to India to participate in a short – term project.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR GOSSIP

You shall not go
about as a talebearer among your people. Leviticus 19:16

When Shayla Mcknight applied for a job for an online
printing company, she was surprised to learn that they had a zero-tolerance
policy for gossip. The employees are encouraged to confront one another,
instead of gossip about their fellow employees. If employees are caught gossiping,
they are reprimanded, and if they continue, they are fired.

Long before this kind of policy was ever implemented by a
company, God spoke of His own zero-tolerance policy for gossip and slander
among His people (Lev.19:16). Idle talk that foolishly or maliciously spreads
rumours or fact about another person was forbidden.

Solomon said that speaking badly of others could have
disastrous effects. It betrays confidence (Prov.11:13), separate close friends
(16:28; 17:9), shames and saddles you with a bad reputation (25:9-10), and
perpetually fuels the…

OUR VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS! (PART 2)

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)

As a Christian, you’re born into the life of victory. The
Bible says “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world….” (1 John
5:4). God expects you to experience victory everyday   as far
as He is concerned, there is no challenge big enough and no demon powerful
enough to stop you from walking in victory! He has brought you into the
victorious life. The only thing you need do is to walk in the light of that
victory.

Live with the consciousness that you’re a victor in Christ
Jesus; have the mindset of a victor. The Bible lets us know that we are
partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). In other words, you…

BE BOLD TO ACT YOUR FAITH, FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US THE
SPIRIT OF FEAR; BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF A SOUND MIND (2 TIMOTHY 1:7)

I’m always so inspired each time I study the accounts of
certain characters in the Bible who displayed outstanding boldness and courage
in the face of fierce oppositions. David, for one, as a young lad, fearlessly
challenged and defeated Goliath, who according to the Bible terrified the whole
of Israel, including Saul the king (1 Samuel 17:4-11). How come David was able
to defeat Goliath? He certainly wasn’t the only one that knew about God’s
covenant with Israel, but he was bold to act his faith, on the basis of that
covenant.

It’s not enough that you know and believe what God has said
about you in His Word, you must consciously…

BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; AND
EVERYONE THAT LOVES IS BORN OF GOD, AND KNOWS GOD. HE THAT LOVES NOT KNOWS NOT
GOD; FOR GOD IS LOVE (1 JAMES 4:7-8)

The Lord Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?”
and He insisted on a respond each time (John 21:15-17). Though Jesus knew Peter
loved Him, He wanted him to say it. In Matthew 17:5, God the Father, spoke from
heaven of His love for Jesus. You see, God doesn’t only love, He talks it too.

Some people find it difficult to say, “I love you.” Some
parents find it difficult to say to their children, “I love you.” “My kids know
I love them”, they’ll say. If you ask them how they came about that conclusion,
their response may be, “I feed, house and educate them; so…
