THE FURIOUS FOUR

“Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry.” Nehemiah 4:7   REFERENCE: Nehemiah 4:1-9   The enemies of the Jews came together to form an unholy alliance. They planned to frustrate their project so it would fail and never be completed. In life, whenever you embark on a worthy cause, a myriad of issues arises to dissuade you. The furious four – Sanballat, Tobiah (head of the Ammonites), Gershom the Arab, and the Ashdodites, opposed Nehemiah's mission. The...

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...

THE IMPORTANT LEAST

“Then David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” And he said, “I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind because three days ago I fell sick.” ~ I Samuel 30:13   REFERENCE I Samuel 30:9-20   It is easy to ignore certain people: the poor, servants, cleaners, refuse collectors, or the gatemen in the office. Most often, these people are at the bottom of the ‘food chain’ in society or organizations; we tend to overlook their usefulness, but they are the 'important least'. David lost everything he had,...

MORNING DUTY: MY VOICE

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.” ~ Psalm 5:3   REFERENCE: Psalm 5:1-3   Every new day is ushered in by the morning. The morning is the foundation of every day. If the foundation is well laid, there will be stability throughout the day. It is the gate to each new day; it can either open to goodness or keep it away, depending on what men do with the morning.   Each morning promises another chance at having a better life. It is...

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...

SOLOMON BEGAN TO BUILD

“…in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.” – I Kings 6:1   REFERENCE: I Kings 6:1  &  I Kings 9:1 A new year has begun; begin things you have always wanted to do. God is Alpha and Omega; hence, the confidence we have when we dare to begin to act on our dreams as children of God. If we begin to build the things we feel led by God to build, He will help us finish it. The young King Solomon...

BE STRONG

BE STRONG IN THE LORD

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” ~ Ephesians 6:10   REFERENCE: Ephesians 6:10-18   The enemy wants to keep you defeated and clueless about your authority in Christ. Therefore, you must contend with antagonistic forces and seize it by force. In every contest, the stronger defeats the weaker, and higher forces dominate the lower ones. The only warrant you have to win over the devil and reclaim authority is to be strong in the Lord. To be strong in the Lord means that you are fighting from a place of advantage. God...

FORCE

SEIZE IT BY FORCE

“And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force…” ~ Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   REFERENCE: Matthew 11:12 (AMPC)   This year, God wants His children to reclaim authority. It is because man lost the ‘Genesis mandate’ to satan in Eden, but when we get saved, the crown of authority is given back to us so we might reign again. However, many are subject to situations, satan, and the wickedness of man. If you do nothing, you will remain a victim; to reclaim authority,...

RECLAIM AUTHORITY

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” ~ Luke 10:19   REFERENCE: Luke 10:17-20   Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023. May it be a year of great victories for you. God has a crown of authority for you in 2023. He wants you to take your throne, so you will not go through this year being at the mercy of circumstances, satanic manipulations, and man’s wickedness. God made you to rule, dominate, and have authority as His agent on...

BE SINGLE-EYED

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” – Matthew 6:22 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Matthew 6:22-24 (KJV)   If you are like me, several things appeal to you, business, singing, speaking, art, sports, skills, trade, learning new things, etc. The gifts within you are calling for expression. If you are not careful, you will become a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none.’ You will try many things but make no success of any and find yourself constantly starting and stopping projects. Jesus here used the single...
