FROM CAPTIVITY TO PROSPERITY

15th February 2023

“He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with gladness. He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they inherited the labor of the nations.” ~ Psalm 105:43&44 REFERENCE: Psalm 105:37-45 Israel’s deliverance after 430 years of slavery in Egypt was a great miracle. Imagine being enslaved people for that long; you lose your sense of identity, your self-worth, and the power to dream, and you are reduced to a property, owning no property. However, history says God brought them out with silver and gold and gave them lands. He moved them from captivity to prosperity....

A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE

14th February 2023

"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" ~ 1 John 3:1 REFERENCE: 1 John 3:1-3 It’s Valentine’s Day! The world has set today aside to celebrate love, which means different things to different people. To some, it is a time to wait for someone to give to them; some ‘take advantage’ of those they claim to love, and several others will ‘break the bank’ to get a gift for their lovers. Does the world understand love as it should? Love in its pure form is the...

13th February 2023

The pressure in our world today is overbearing; we hear of earthquakes, bomb blasts, financial hardships, and extreme lack. Just today alone, I have watched two videos of people lamenting the present predicament, angry with God, hopeless, and ready to draw the curtains. Well, I will say, “You have...

FIGHT BACK

11th February 2023

“And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So, Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.” ~ Job 1:12 REFERENCE: JOB 1:8-22 Satan is the author of evil; he ruined Job’s estate and killed his children. He wreaked havoc in his life using natural means like wind and fire (lightning). Satan also used human instruments, the Sabeans and Chaldeans, to attack Job’s servants at different times and made off with his livestock. Job’s mistake in all these is that he did...

SOLOMON ON WEALTH 5

10th February 2023

“If God gives some people wealth, property, and the power to enjoy those things, they should enjoy them …that is a gift from God.” ~ Ecclesiastes 5:19 (ERV) REFERENCE: Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (ERV) The conclusion drawn by king Solomon on wealth is an excellent way to end this series.

Nevertheless, the poor man’s Wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.” ~ Ecclesiastes 9:16 REFERENCE: Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 Listening to King Solomon on wealth does confront one with uncomfortable truths, but they are truths nonetheless.

Solomon became what he was because of wisdom, and we are gleaning from it in this study.

This also is vanity.” ~ Ecclesiastes 5:10 REFERENCE: Ecclesiastes 5:9-12 Biblical history shows that Solomon was the wealthiest man that ever lived; when he was king, he made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem.

DO NOT WAVER

4th February 2023

“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.” – Romans 4:20 REFERENCE: Romans 4:16-21 The old song says, “You’ll never get Abraham’s blessing with the Thomas kind of faith. Your mountain will just stand there in the same old place. If you have to see it first, hear it, or touch it, or taste. You’ll never get Abraham’s blessing with the Thomas kind of faith.” Thomas doubted Jesus’ promise to rise from the dead. On the contrary, Abraham did not waver at God’s word. When Abraham was old and...
