ROYAL PRIEST

A ROYAL PRIEST

“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 of darkness into His marvelous light.” – I Peter 2:9   REFERENCE: I Peter 2:9-10    In ancient Israel, different persons occupied the offices of the king and priest; the high priest ministered in the temple, and a king sat on the royal throne. However, as a believer, you have the honor of being both a priest and a king. Better put, you are a royal priest.   Over the years, many Christians...

ELIZABETH HAS CONCEIVED

“…Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” – Luke 1:36-37   REFERENCE: Luke 1:26-37   The news that a virgin would have a child without ‘knowing’ a man was preposterous for Mary. She was to expect what had never happened before to happen in her life, and as expected, she wondered how. To bolster her faith in the impossible, the angel told her, “Elizabeth has conceived, and she that was termed barren is six months pregnant.”  Elizabeth...

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...

Sufficient

GOD IS SUFFICIENT

Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” – John 6:7   REFERENCE: John 6:5-13   Jesus found Himself where we often find ourselves, a position where what we have is inadequate to answer what we need. A multitude had gathered to Him and needed food. Jesus and His team were far from town, in a desert place with little money. Does this sound familiar? However, Jesus knew what He would do to find sufficient supply.   Jesus knew that God was El-Shaddai, ‘the all-sufficient...

forget you

I WILL NOT FORGET YOU

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.” ~ Isaiah 49:15   REFERENCE: Isaiah 49:14-21   We get to that point sometimes when we look at delayed breakthroughs, unanswered prayers, or harvests of our seeds that are yet to come and ask, like Zion, “Has the Lord forsaken and forgotten me?”  You may feel forgotten, but God says today, “I WILL NOT FORGET YOU!” After years of captivity and unfulfilled deliverances, Zion felt abandoned! They were going through a cycle of pain and...

Debt

ALL DEBTS CANCELLED

“He canceled the unfavorable record of our debts with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the cross.” ~ Colossians 2:14 (GNT)   REFERENCE:  Colossians 2:11-15 (GNT)   Oh, the blessing of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross! All men born of a woman owe God a debt of sin because of Adam’s sin. The Law of Moses extended to man the hope of forgiveness and access to God. However, unable to keep it, man fell short of its righteous requirements and became indebted to God. A record of his debt was kept. This...

REPOSITION YOURSELF – CHANGE YOUR THINKING

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” – Romans 12:2   REFERENCE: ROMANS 12:1-3   To reposition is to place in a different position; it is adjusting or altering the position of a thing. God wants to adjust and alter things around you until you are in His best for you; He will change your position and move you to a higher level. To reposition, refuse to pattern your life after the events, culture, or people around you, and decide to let the Holy Spirit transform your thinking and align it...

Gratitude

MANY REASONS FOR GRATITUDE

“Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order...” ~ Psalm 40:5   REFERENCE: Psalm 40:1-5   The year is coming to a close, and it is the season of thanksgiving. If you are not deliberate in counting what God has done, you may drown in the feeling that much hasn’t happened for you in the year. However, David felt differently; he said, “Many are Your wonderful works.” It takes reflection to conclude that God’s works in your life are many. David was persecuted by his boss,...

LOVE BELIEVES THE BEST

“Love…is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].” ~ I Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)   REFERENCE I Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMPC)   In this powerful chapter, the apostle Paul seconds every other Christian virtue to love; he places love above prophetic and miraculous powers; and lifts it above showy charity or daring acts of martyrdom. Love should be the ultimate motivation for everything a Christian does; else, no matter how applaudable whatever he does is, Paul says, “He is still a useless nobody.” Christianity is about relationships, relationships...

COVENANT LOVE

“Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.” ~ I Samuel 18:2   REFERENCE: I Samuel 17:57-18:5   David just won a momentous victory for Israel. Prince Jonathan (Saul’s son) was likely on the battlefield when this youthful shepherd-soldier went against giant Goliath in battle, armed only with a sling and stones. He witnessed David's self-sacrificing bravery, which brought deliverance to the whole of Israel. He took in the full weight of what David did: 1. Deliverance from perpetual shame to the crown (his father and their lineage).  2. Victory when defeat was looming (or...
