Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. As we join other believers to worship, pray and study God's word, let us remember the reason we gather. The originator of our union. Christ Jesus. He promised that two is enough to provoke His presence, that bond that allows us manifest His glory. Whatever it is that would want to take away His dominance must be resisted, it must be all about Him. Thus even as we overlook the shortcomings of man yet we never condone sin, filth or laziness, but encourage God's love, faithfulness and accountability. There is a conduct for the house of God. Selah 1Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. Remember that all things will still come under Christ. Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in on...

Proverbs 4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. One of the greatest frustrations in life is trying to be what you were never anointed to be. From creation we can see that God created man with purpose and commanded him to have dominion over all other things He created on earth. He asked him to fill the earth. When man decided to stick to one area and with one purpose, their language had to be changed so that they may disperse and fulfil each one's purpose joining forces with those with like minds. Thus diversity is not evil. Though the enemy could ploy with it to cause discord, hatred and wars. Selah! Every man has his path, and it will be unfair to expect everyone to be the same, God does not expect that. Even in the sharing of the gifts: 1 Corinthians 12:7&11 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will....

1Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Psalms 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered. Jesus did not say that we will never face trials. Every believer at one point or another would face challenges. However we ought to at those times focus on His goodness to us. Have you tried writing down things the Lord has done for you since the year started, if you do,  you would definitely run out of ink. Each time we see someone else face difficulty, we should remember that it could have been us, yet the Lord keeps us. Till we leave this earth, we would have times of need. Times when we w...

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: The salvation we received was not just a solution to man's err and falling away from God but a divine purpose which has been hid in God, that even the enemy could do nothing about: Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Ephesians 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: God sees us through Christ, thus when we come to Christ we come into God's light and become relevant. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained ...

1Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. The enemy goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. You don't have to look for him, that is what his job is, to make you fail. (How foolish then to look for him, or make yourself vulnerable. Selah) If Eve knew this, she wouldn't have easily given him room, discussing matters, you don't have to have that discussion. God had already concluded that the fruit was not to be eaten. If you open up discussion on it you make your self vulnerable to deception! One thing is certain, every believer faces these challenges in different degrees and varying forms thus we should never feel we are alone in this. Remember what Jesus said: John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the ...

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We have looked at unnecessary battles, battles we have no business involving ourselves in, however there are battles every believer must fight and the beauty of it is that Christ has already won the victory. We understand that the battles we face as believers are not of the flesh but spiritual, we are thus wise enough not to dwell much on physical armour but the armour of the spirit. How much fortified do we think we are if we girdle ourselves with physical armour to go forth to face the enemy. David understood this when he went to meet the threat against the army of Israel (Goliath): 1Samuel 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. So we as believers know that the wea...
