MIRACLE

A NOTABLE MIRACLE

“…For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.” _ Acts 4:16   REFERENCE: Acts 4:13-22   Peter and John had worked a miracle on a man born lame; he could now walk. That caused no little stir in the city, and a crowd gathered to them, to whom they preached. It ruffled the feathers of the priests, captain of the temple, and Sadducees. They arrested the apostles and jailed them overnight to decide their matter the next day. While adjudicating their matter, it was obvious...

WHERE ARE THE NINE?

“So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?” – Luke 17:17   REFERENCE: Luke 17:11-19   Do you know that God takes note (keeps record) of every good thing He does for you: help, supply, healing, protection, favors, sustenance, etc.? However, we forget and see them as usual or expected, so we fail to pause, acknowledge God’s goodness, and thank Him. Ten men came to Jesus with their prayer request; ten men appealed to His mercy and power, but only one returned to acknowledge and thank Jesus for what He did. They raised their voices when...

NATURAL

NOT IN THE NATURAL

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God…” ~ II Corinthians 10:4   REFERENCE:  II Corinthians 10:1-6   The Corinthian church perceived Apostle Paul as weak, perhaps because of his mildness of manner, gentle speech, and his miniature stature. He often spoke with them gently and in meekness, and whenever he was with them, he assumed no great honor but was lowly. However, the church wondered why physically Paul was weak, but in his letters, he exuded an air of confidence, boldness, and much more, an authoritative power of conviction. The Living Bible says: “Paul’s letters are...

HUMBLE LIKE CHRIST

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.” ~ Philippians 2:5&6   REFERENCE Philippians 2:5-11   I do not know who else epitomizes humility like Jesus Christ did; hence, He is the pattern and model for all who seek humility. Humility is a beautiful virtue. We find it attractive and are put off by arrogant and self-absorbed people. Humility has a sweet aroma and is often a magnet for favor and great honor. Let us study the humility of Christ. Jesus...

DELIVERANCE IS PREACHED

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor… to preach deliverance to the captives…” ~ Luke 4:18 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Luke 4:13-20 (KJV)   Many Christians go around seeking deliverance. What they are looking for is someone to say a ‘powerful’ prayer: to tell them to ‘connect’ with the anointing with a token, turn and spin, drink or bathe with anointing oil or holy water, pray naked at night, go on a three-day dry fast, etc. That is not deliverance; there is no scriptural basis for such practices. Jesus said, “I...

VICTORY

ASSURED OF VICTORY

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” ~ I Corinthians 15:57   REFERENCE: I Corinthians 15:56-58   In this chapter, Paul writes the Corinthians about death, the king of terrors, to comfort them and to remove its sting and tyranny through fear over their lives. He encourages them that death is just a transformation of mortality to immortality, weakness to power, and dishonor to glory (I Cor 15:42-45). He then concludes that, "death has been swallowed up in victory." Even over death, we have the ultimate victory in Christ. If God guarantees victory over death, be...

YOU WILL TURN OUT WELL

“And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.” – Jeremiah 18:4   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 18:1-6   Our world runs in cycles. The earth, sun, moon, and planets are spheres. The earth rotates around the sun in cycles, as the clock turns. They both account for the seasons that come in turns - night-day, summer-winter, rain-dry, or cold-heat. There is a local parlance that says, “life is turn-by-turn". It just means that it does not matter how...

BELIEVE AND REST

“For we who have believed do enter that rest…” ~ Hebrews 4:3a   REFERENCE: Hebrews 4:1-3   The writer of Hebrews highlights today’s truth from Old Testament Israel. God delivered them from Egypt, took them through the wilderness, and finally gave them rest in the land of Canaan. The sad truth, however, is that many Israelites died in the wilderness, and never made it to the Promised Land of rest. These ones failed to believe in God, despite His many miracles. We serve a God who is the giver of peace and rest. He brought rest to a stormy situation by...

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...

CHECK YOUR SCORECARD

“And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?” ~ Luke 16:12   REFERENCE: Luke 16:10-12   We all desire to be bigger than where we presently are, anticipating better positions, pay, and privileges. We look forward to a day that we will have our own business, project, house, office, clientele, workshop, or showroom. It is a good desire (ambition); however, the likelihood of any of this happening is in connection to where you are today. THE BIG IS IN THE SMALL. Notice the language (tense) in verse 10 of...
