1 Peter 4:10(NLT) God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Yes, Spiritual gifts are given not for decoration, not for boasting or to be used to take advantage of another but to serve one another. There is no one who has received the new birth that is not endowed with God's gifts. None. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. The gifts remain useless to us until we release the same in blessing or edifying the brethren or leading those who are outside into the fold. No gift is useless, or small, every gift has its significance and when utilized by the power of the Holy Spirit can cause great exploits to God's kingdom on earth. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11(NLT) There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in diff...

Ephesians 5:15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.  If only we meditate properly on our actions instead of quickly being swagged by lust, emotions and selfishness, we would save ourselves from so many troubles. We quickly look for excuses or who to blame while we are the orchestra of our problems. We refuse to treat bad characters, evil habits, secret gossips, bad association etc. We live a lie and think everything would be okay. Sometimes, sorry cannot take care of it especially when we have not let go of those evil thoughts and associations, we only wait for another opportunity to do the wrong thing. Who are we fooling. Most of our troubles are self inflicted, we take steps and make decisions without thinking about the aftermath, then we cry when we face the outcome. However, trusting God and having His fear will save us so much trouble. Psalm 119:129(BBE); Your unchanging word is full of wonder; for this reason my soul keeps it. No mat...

Colossians 1:12-13 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, While we carry out our secular activities we could get carried away with the issues of life, challenges and responsibilities, there is the tendency to forget what the Heavenly Father has done for us. The redefining, rebirth and repositioning. 2Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Above all the issues in the world, the redemption of our soul is the most crucial. Once this is settled, other things fall into place. They now have meaning. We must remember who the Father has made us to be in His Son Jesus the Christ. We must continually stay grateful for this an...

Galatians 5:16&17 But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.  For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do. We know that the life we live now on earth is legitimate because we have a body. Though this body is tuned to the flesh because of sin, during the new birth our spirit is renewed to walk in the righteousness which we have in Christ Jesus. Many have taken their thoughts, impulse and inner feelings to be the Spirit of God speaking. We must by constant study of the word and prayers tune ourselves to hear clearly what the Spirit is saying. We must get it right, the word of God must be rich in us to have enough vocabulary to communicate with the Spirit. We ought to stay tuned to the frequency. Many in previous years had a clearer communication with God's Spirit but as they k...

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. We are all trusting God for something either for ourselves or for someone else? Our duty is to commit it into His hands then begin to thank Him for it. We shouldn't let it become a worry so much that we forget all He has done for us. We should instead lay the worries aside and just acknowledge Him who made you see today, give Him praise, worship Him and give Him thanks. Most times we are trapped by lack of insight into the bigger picture, we could then get carried away and not understand God's wisdom working to keep us from situations that will cause us pain. Jesus said our worries would not solve the problem, our prayers, faith and thanksgiving would do it! Let's set all worries aside, that we may recognise Him who made all things and who controls all things. Revelation 7:12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen....

It is necessary that we remind ourselves that what and how we speak has great impact and consequences. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Nothing pierces the heart with pain more than words. Some say it is better to be physically hit than to be smitten by words. Our Heavenly father expects us to be careful with our words. The scripture says that power lies in our tongue and Jesus said we will account for every idle word we speak. Matthew 12:36 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. When we speak, we prophesy into our lives, we also provoke angels, and if we are careless we could provoke other spirits into action by our words. Matthew 12:37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." When we speak, what should be the outcome? Our speech as believers should be to: * edify on...
