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...

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,...

AUTHRITY

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...

Stone

MEMORIAL STONES

“…The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord…And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” ~ Joshua 4:7   REFERENCE: Joshua 4:1-9   We are at a transition point. In a few hours, we will be in a new year; a noble thing to do is to raise a memorial to God on such a special day. God’s grace has kept you for 365 days, and you are about to embark on a journey for another 365 days. Pause today, and reflect on the outgoing year, so you...

Faith

FAITH IN CRUMBS

“And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” ~ Matthew 15:27   REFERENCE: Matthew 15:22-28   This Canaanite woman demonstrated her great faith when she turned around and said, “Even dogs get to feast off the bread crumbs that fall from the table while the children eat,” although she was called a dog by Jesus and told that what she sought was bread for children. What faith! I do not know anyone who will put up with the humiliation this woman was put through when trying to get help for her insanely sick...

GREAT IS YOUR FAITH

  “Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” ~ Matthew 15:28   REFERENCE: Matthew 15:22-28   This woman earned the commendation, “Great is your faith” because she would not take ‘NO’ for an answer. Hers was a persevering faith. There are certain miracles we expect from God that would only answer to such great faith; faith that is too desperate to be denied. I like that the principle of great faith is taught in our text using the story of...

FIRST

PUT GOD FIRST

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33   REFERENCE: Matthew 6:25-33   One of the great athletes in Britain, Eric Liddell, was to run for Britain in the 1924 Olympic games. He was a Christian. When the preliminary heats of his best event, 100 meters race, was set on a Sunday, Liddell quietly but firmly refused to run. The day of 400 meters race came, and as Liddell went to the starting blocks, an unknown man slipped a piece of paper in his hand with a...

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...
