THE SELFLESS CHURCH

“All the believers were of one heart and mind, and no one felt that what he owned was his own; everyone was sharing.” – Acts 4:32 (TLB)   REFERENCE: Acts 4:32-35 (TLB)   As the world goes through uncertain economic times, the church must become a place of hope and help for all, especially believers. She must become an oasis of support and supply by practicing biblical truths so that the people of God will prosper through famine and not be a reproach in the world. God’s people have all of God’s possessions to meet all of God’s needs. The...

BUILD WISELY

"Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts." - Proverbs 24:3-4 (Living Bible)   REFERENCE: Proverbs 24:3-7 (TLB)   Before we leave this earth, we will all build something – a name, a family, a ministry, a business, or a house; in a sense, we are all builders. Certain things are critical when you want to build; a plan, resources, and foundation. What do you want to build, and how would it look? Can you fund it or sustain it? Are you willing to build it to...

NO LIFE WILL BE LOST

“And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.” ~ Acts 27:22   REFERENCE: Acts 27:18-26   It is said, “As long as there is life, there is hope.” Life is the most precious of the gifts God gave to man because you cannot benefit from other gifts without it. The worst the devil can do to a man on a mission is to cut his life short so that he will not reach his destination; for as long as he has life, he will arrive, although he...

VICTORIA ASCERTA!

“…the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.” – Mark 8:31   REFERENCE: Mark 8:27-33   You should be familiar with the slogan used by many freedom fighters, workers’ unions, and student unions across the globe – ‘Aluta Continua; Victoria Ascerta.’ It is of Latin origin, meaning, ‘The Struggle Continues; Victory is Certain.’ Whether you are in a civil group fighting for justice or not, life is full of struggles, but the assurance in God is that victory is certain. That is the assurance God wants...

LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP IS RESPONSIBILITY

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed.” ~ Isaiah 9:16   REFERENCE: Isaiah 9:13-17   Many crave to be in positions of authority and influence, but most are not ready for such. They are attracted to the benefits of office but blinded to its burden. John Maxwell said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” If someone aspires to be a leader, Maxwell implies that he will ultimately bring everything (people or resources) to his level; either they rise or fall.   Samaria would come under severe judgment because of...

I HAVE HEARD

“And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.” ~ Genesis 41:15   REFERENCE: Genesis 41:9-15   What would abruptly end the jail term of a common prisoner and bring him before the leader of a great nation so that he could engage him in a conversation? Recommendation. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have heard it said of you;” this turned his life around. The butler benefitted from Joseph and his gifts while in the same prison and...

PILOT FISH

DUMPED BY DEMAS: PILOT FISH

“Only Luke is with me…” ~ II Timothy 4:11   REFERENCE: II Timothy 4:9-16   If you have sailed far out on an ocean, you may have seen a shark tailing your ship. A school of smaller fish (dark grey or deep blue with white stripes) often accompany the shark, called Pilot fish. They hang around the shark and feed off the parasites on it and its leftover meals. The pilot fish has a mutual relationship with sharks; the pilot fish is protected from predators, while the shark is relieved from parasites. No matter how hungry the shark is, it will...

FAULT

DUMPED BY DEMAS: IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT

“For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica…” ~ II Timothy 4:10   REFERENCE: II Timothy 4:5-11   Demas was on Apostle Paul’s missionary team both as a friend and a co-laborer (Philem 1:24). They must have done so much together for God’s kingdom – traveling, ministering, and sharing meals. However, Paul woke up one day to Demas’ goodbye note on his bedside drawer, “Fed up. Gone to Thessalonica…In search of new things.” This ‘desertion’ stung Paul deep; it came unexpectedly. Why would anyone want to leave the ministry or tutelage of Apostle Paul? He was...

HUSBAND

A HUSBAND’S PLEA

“Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.” ~ Genesis 25:21   REFERENCE: Genesis 25:19-23   Isaac was one man whom the bible gives a detailed account of his finding a wife and marriage. His father, Abraham, sent his servant under oath on an expedition to find a wife for Isaac. Miraculous coincidences, answers to prayers, and divine favor marked this journey. Everything pointed to the fact that Rebekah was God’s appointed wife for Isaac and the future mother of his children. Sadly, like her...

PROPHESY

PROPHESY AND SAY

“Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.” –Ezekiel 37:4    REFERENCE: Ezekiel 37:1-14   We may not know it, but as God’s children, our deliverance is often in our mouths. Jesus said, “Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Scripture reveals that all things are created by the spoken word of God and respond to it. The fig tree...
