MORNING DUTY: MY VOICE

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.” ~ Psalm 5:3   REFERENCE: Psalm 5:1-3   Every new day is ushered in by the morning. The morning is the foundation of every day. If the foundation is well laid, there will be stability throughout the day. It is the gate to each new day; it can either open to goodness or keep it away, depending on what men do with the morning.   Each morning promises another chance at having a better life. It is...

ONE OF A KIND

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out…” – I Peter 2:9   REFERENCE: I Peter 2:9-10   In our last episode, we saw that the believer in Christ is both a king and priest: a royal priest. A person is either one or the other, not both at once, but God has made you that. You are ‘one of a kind’, a peculiar breed, unmatched, and unequaled. You matter to God. Peter says you are chosen. To be chosen means...

SOLOMON BEGAN TO BUILD

“…in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.” – I Kings 6:1   REFERENCE: I Kings 6:1  &  I Kings 9:1 A new year has begun; begin things you have always wanted to do. God is Alpha and Omega; hence, the confidence we have when we dare to begin to act on our dreams as children of God. If we begin to build the things we feel led by God to build, He will help us finish it. The young King Solomon...

Planning

CAREFUL PLANNING

“Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you further behind.” ~ Proverbs 21:5 (MSG)   REFERENCE: Proverbs 21:5-6 (MSG) The new year has begun to roll along. The clock is ticking; it will be over soon, and we will count our losses or gains. While it is still early, look ahead and make the necessary plans to thrive in the year; “Success is a product of careful planning.” It is rare for anybody to ‘stumble’ into success. It happens by taking deliberate action steps, born out of calculated efforts. To succeed this year, cultivate the wisdom...

BE STRONG

BE STRONG IN THE LORD

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” ~ Ephesians 6:10   REFERENCE: Ephesians 6:10-18   The enemy wants to keep you defeated and clueless about your authority in Christ. Therefore, you must contend with antagonistic forces and seize it by force. In every contest, the stronger defeats the weaker, and higher forces dominate the lower ones. The only warrant you have to win over the devil and reclaim authority is to be strong in the Lord. To be strong in the Lord means that you are fighting from a place of advantage. God...

FORCE

SEIZE IT BY FORCE

“And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force…” ~ Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   REFERENCE: Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   This year, God wants His children to reclaim authority. It is because man lost the ‘Genesis mandate’ to satan in Eden, but when we get saved, the crown of authority is given back to us so we might reign again. However, many are subject to situations, satan, and the wickedness of man. If you do nothing, you will remain a victim; to reclaim authority,...

MEMORIAL STONES

“…The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord…And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” ~ Joshua 4:7   REFERENCE: Joshua 4:1-9   We are at a transition point. In a few hours, we will be in a new year; a noble thing to do is to raise a memorial to God on such a special day. God’s grace has kept you for 365 days, and you are about to embark on a journey for another 365 days. Pause today, and reflect on the outgoing year, so you...

GREAT IS YOUR FAITH

  “Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” ~ Matthew 15:28   REFERENCE: Matthew 15:22-28   This woman earned the commendation, “Great is your faith” because she would not take ‘NO’ for an answer. Hers was a persevering faith. There are certain miracles we expect from God that would only answer to such great faith; faith that is too desperate to be denied. I like that the principle of great faith is taught in our text using the story of...

FIRST

PUT GOD FIRST

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33   REFERENCE: Matthew 6:25-33   One of the great athletes in Britain, Eric Liddell, was to run for Britain in the 1924 Olympic games. He was a Christian. When the preliminary heats of his best event, 100 meters race, was set on a Sunday, Liddell quietly but firmly refused to run. The day of 400 meters race came, and as Liddell went to the starting blocks, an unknown man slipped a piece of paper in his hand with a...

GOOD TIDINGS

“Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” ~ Luke 2:10   REFERENCE: Luke 2:6-14   Out in the night, some tired shepherds stayed awake to keep watch over their sheep to protect them from rustlers. While bemoaning their station in life and the current affairs in Bethlehem, they were startled by a sudden burst of light. An emissary of heaven appeared, saying, “I bring you good tidings of great joy.” Tidings means news or information. This good tiding is about the birth of...
