EVIL TO GOOD

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day to save many people alive.” – Genesis 50:20   REFERENCE: Genesis 50:15-21   Evil is constantly in this world with us. Sometimes, we get affected by its viciousness so that the saint can go through unpleasant seasons. People often ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” We live in a world where the devil runs the show. However, the good thing is that we serve a God who can turn evil to good. Joseph’s life is...

CALL TO ME

“Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 33:1-3   Life is full of mysteries and puzzles that confront us daily, and without insight or light, life's challenges will always floor us. It takes a level of revelation to deal with some issues of life. When you know what to do per time or situation, you will live as a high flyer. A faulty vehicle never puzzles a car mechanic because he has light (insight). Are you facing a challenge and wondering how to...

NO DOUBTING

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” ~ James 1:6   REFERENCE: James 1:5-8   James puts forth the fundamental principle of asking from God. Although he was teaching on asking God for wisdom, the principle will work for anything you ask God for in prayers. He said asking must be done in faith and with no doubting, believing that God will give to you liberally and without faulting you or your request (that is, not giving reasons why you should be denied). Doubting...

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: PEACE

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” – Mark4:39   REFERENCE: Mark 4:35-41   Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]….” (AMP). Peace is another fruit of the Spirit that believers are to manifest; “To this peace indeed you were called….”   This peace comes from intimacy...

SUFFICIENT GRACE

"Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness..." ~ II Corinthians 12:8-9   REFERENCE: II Corinthians 12:7-10   Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the Grace of God. We often only see Grace as unmerited favor. Still, it is God's help made available to man to fulfill God's work or bear difficult situations without losing enthusiasm or quitting. Despite the 'thorn' that troubled Paul, he did mighty exploits through the sufficient grace of Christ...

KINDNESS TO THE AFFLICTED

“To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.” ~ Job 6:14   REFERENCE: Job 6:11-15   Nobody wishes to go through afflictions. These include emotional pain, lack, and ill health. Take a look at your network, and you will discover that someone is afflicted by troubles. They may be going through a divorce, job loss, bereavement, physical pain, miscarriage of a pregnancy, or a crucial marital crisis. What God expects is that you show kindness to the afflicted. Sadly, when people are afflicted, the people around them become ‘expert...

THE WRONG DOCTOR

“Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.” – II Kings 1:2   REFERENCE: II Kings 1:1-4   A man’s house is his castle; you would think he is safe in his house, but no, evil can befall him at home. Ahaziah succeeded his evil father, king Ahab, and continued in his wicked ways, fortified by his mother, Jezebel. Justice knocked him down through the lattice of his upper room. When...

SHALL GOD NOT?

“And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?” ~ Luke 18:7   REFERENCE: Luke 18:1-8   This woman had a peculiar experience with this judge. By his admission, he had no fear of God nor regard for any man. He was a mean judge who was an authority over himself. He was determined to deny this woman justice, but she wore him out (the Greek suggests that she gave him a black eye) by her continual coming and forced him to attend to her matter. Jesus said, if this...

WHEN IT IS TIME

“That night the king could not sleep. So, one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.” ~ Esther 6:1   REFERENCE:  Esther 6:1-10   When we say, “It is time,” we refer to a set time, an appointed time in which something is to happen. It marks the start of a meeting or an event, and when it is time, things go into motion. Nothing will happen in a particular setting except it is time. We are often between our waiting time and our appointed time – when it is time...

HONOR

A MAN OF HONOR

“So, Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!” ~ Esther 6:11   REFERENCE:  Esther 6:6-12   Most men seek honor amongst men. They want to be respected, regarded, and remembered as great personalities. But who is truly a man of honor? Who deserves such high esteem amongst men? Those who seek it? Those who scheme for it? Or those to whom God gives it? Honor is high respect and great esteem. It is...
