LEAD LIKE A PRO: INTEGRITY

So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Psalm 78:72 REFERENCE Psalm 78:70-72 Nothing evokes myriads of emotions from people more than hearing about the moral failure of business, political and even religious leaders. It makes the media go abuzz, it becomes breaking news, newspapers sell extra, and blogs and social media platforms have them as trending. The moral failures of leaders have closed down many organizations and put families in jeopardy. Integrity is defined as the consistency between what a leader says and what the leader does....

LEAD LIKE A PRO: SERVANTHOOD

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:44-45 REFERENCE Mark 10:35-45 In our 21st century, the world is beginning to realign with the biblical qualifications of who a true leader is. There is an increased awareness that true leadership is ‘servanthood,’ and we now hear terms like servant-leadership. Many today, are like James and John – they like to be preferred. For such ones, the definition of leadership is...

YOUR RIGHTS IN CHRIST: THE RIGHT TO ABUNDANT LIFE

...I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). - John 10:10 (amplified bible)   REFERENCE John 10:7-11   God does not want believers to be harassed out of life before a ripe old age. God has promised them a qualitative and quantitative life, in Christ Jesus. And when God promises, He’s ready to fulfill it! Have you ever seen an obituary in a newspaper and, in a flash, your mind paints a picture of you being the one in that column? God’s children are not supposed to think...

YOUR RIGHTS IN CHRIST: THE RIGHT TO ASK

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 REFERENCE Matthew 7:7-8 It is the right of every believer to ask and expect God to answer. Our text says, “Ask and it shall be given to you.” Ask here, (aiteo) means to demand for something due you. It is an open cheque given to all believers, but many are too afraid to ask…so they don’t look vain and ambitious. But God said, “…open your mouth wide and I will fill it.”(Psalm 81:10b). Your due is what...

YOUR RIGHTS IN CHRIST: THE RIGHT TO DECIDE

“And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 REFERENCE Joshua 24:2-21 To “decide” according to the dictionary, is to make a choice about something, after thinking about it. It is to select a course of action. God has given you a right to decide the trajectory for your life from the different alternatives life offers; He has given you free will. However, in His kindness, He prompts you to decide for life – to decide...

WE HAVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST

By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. II Peter 1:4 REFERENCE II Peter 1:1-4 With our placement in Christ comes rights and we need to learn to exercise those rights to live victoriously. It is by use that they translate into the Believer’s Authority. A RIGHT is that which justly belongs to a person, which he can demand as his own. Rights cannot be forced upon a person against his will. They must...

DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?

O death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? - I Corinthians 15:55   REFERENCE I Corinthians 15:50-57 Death is man’s greatest enemy. The bible calls it ‘the last enemy.’ The concept of death sends shivers down the spines of most people, and one of the commonest fears amongst people is the fear of death. The day of birth brings joy amongst men while the day of a man’s death (especially of a loved one) often brings sorrow. Death has separated loved ones, taken away infants, claimed youths while they blossomed and has whisked men of age...

IT IS FINISHED!

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!... ‭‭John‬ ‭19:30‬ ‭ REFERENCE John 19:28-30 What a proclamation Jesus made on the cross before He gave up the ghost at the cross. The Greek word for “It is finished” is “Tetelestai” which means, “To bring to an end.” “To fulfill.” “To complete.” “To accomplish.” “To perform.” “To make payment.” This means everything is now completely paid for, and every litigation against us is over. In those days, Tetelestai painted the picture of: (a) A servant who had completed His assigned Task – Jesus completed the task...
