A BRAND-NEW MAN

“So, when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”– Acts 28:4   REFERENCE: Acts 28:1-6   Often, people will name you by your past experiences and expect you to suffer for an offense of the past. However, God is not like that; He can take the worst of men and turn them into the best of men. He can turn a terrorist into an evangelist; He can so remove a man from...

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

“…Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” ~ Luke 8:24-25   REFERENCE:  Luke 8:22-25   Scripture tells us twice, “The just shall live by his faith.” It is because life will often put us in circumstances that require our faith response. There will be a likelihood of distressing news, sicknesses, financial obligation deadlines, battles against negative thoughts, etc. As He asked His disciples, Jesus will ask you at such times, “Where is your faith?” Life put the disciples of Jesus Christ...

EYES ON JESUS

EYES FIXED ON JESUS

“Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.” ~ Luke 4:20   REFERENCE: Luke 4:16-21   Amidst the culture of hero-worship that permeates today’s society, believers can get distracted and soon turn their attention to false gods. There are great orators, singers, actors, social media influencers, talk show hosts, entertainers, and musicians, many of whom have very many followers. However, a child of God must be careful to have his eyes fixed on Jesus all the time. What you keep looking at...

EARLY FULFILLMENT

"God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that RIGHT EARLY." ~ Psalm 46:5 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Psalm 46:1-5 (KJV) God intends to do a quick work in your life this year. I hear God say, “It will happen early; you will not have to wait for long or till much later in the year.” What you look expectantly to Him for this year will happen as the sun rises on the year like a new day. Looking at your plans, savings, or present position, it may take quite a while, but God wants to...

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...

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...

DREAMS

THE FUTURE OF DREAMS

“Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!” – Genesis 37:20   REFERENCE: Genesis 37:5-20   God gives dreams to give us a glimpse of His plans and what our future holds. If God gives you a dream, He desires that someday, you live and walk in its reality; He never lies or deceives us. Dreams from God are advertisements of great things to come. The future of dreams is their fulfillment, but the devil works hard...

CARPENTERS

FOUR CARPENTERS

“These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these (carpenters) are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.” ~ Zechariah 1:21 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Zechariah 1:18-21 (KJV)   Our text tells how four destroying horns ravaged Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. The devastation was such that nobody lifted their heads; bowed down by oppression, sorrow, and misery, the people lost their confidence. However, God would send four carpenters to restore their hope and land....
