FELLOWSHIP

HELPFUL CHRISTIAN HABITS – FELLOWSHIP

“…not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some…” – Hebrews 10:25a REFERENCE: Hebrews 10:21-25 A good Christian is in the habit of gathering with other believers for fellowship. Fellowship is necessary for a successful and effective Christian walk. Our text counsels us that Jesus’ return is soon, so we should not neglect fellowship. Fellowship is a friendly association with people with whom one shares the same interests. It is union, mutual support, comradeship, brotherhood, and solidarity. These words already speak of the benefits of fellowship. For a Christian, fellowship is the place of growth, productivity,...

HELPFUL CHRISTIAN HABITS – PRAYER PARTNERSHIP

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” – Jeremiah 29:12   REFERENCE: JEREMIAH 29:10-14   The word Partnership is a business term. It is a form of business where two or more people share ownership and the responsibility for managing a company, including its profit and losses. In partnership, both parties work together, leveraging the strengths of each other. Prayer is partnering with God to see His will done on earth. In this partnership, man needs God’s power to do God’s will on earth, and God will need a man...

DREAMS: LICENSE TO LIVE

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   Dreams change the world, but the world likes to change dreamers. The world rarely understands dreamers because they often speak of things they have seen which are loftier than where they are. Dreamers disrupt the status quo and shake the system; without them, the world would be stuck in the rut of the old ways, but thank God for the new that...

WHAT MANNER OF MAN ARE YOU? – ABRAHAM

“In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” – Genesis 22:18    REFERENCE: GENESIS 22:15-19   Abraham’s life speaks to men today. He lived by faith and followed God in uncertain seasons of life. He also had moments of weakness and struggled with delayed desires. He was a rich man, perhaps, one of the richest in his days, but he kept a good conscience before God and man. Certain traits have immortalized the person and name of Abraham: a.     A God-Lover: Abraham’s wealth did not affect his devotion to God. He built...

HUMILITY: PATHWAY TO GREATNESS

“Now the man Moses was very humble (modest, meek & self-effacing), more than all men who were on the face of the earth.” – Numbers 12:3 (AMP).   REFERENCE: Numbers 12:1-8   We live in a world where people like to brag and reel out their credentials to oppress others or avoid others looking down on them. The entertainment industry thrives on vanity, showing off wealth, followership, and accomplishments. Musicians sing about making money and getting girls; wrestlers and boxers call themselves by names that make them appear larger-than-life, and politicians speak derogatorily and rudely to their opponents. However, humility is...

DEVELOP AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT

“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to set him over the whole realm’. – Daniel 6:3    REFERENCE: Daniel 6:1-3 Daniel was an outstanding and extraordinary man; he led a successful life and found favor with God and man. The scripture captures why this is so: an excellent spirit was in him. As believers, the indwelling Holy Spirit makes us uncomfortable with mediocrity and to strive for distinction in all we do. He is the Spirit of wisdom that causes you to excel in all...

EL OLAM: THE EVERLASTING GOD

“Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.” ­~ Genesis 21:33   REFERENCE: Genesis 21:28-34   Abraham had several eye-opening encounters with God, and this is another such encounter. God fulfilled the promise of Isaac 25 years after making the promise to Abraham, at the age of 100 years. From that experience, he discovered that time does not limit God; He does not consult time to do whatever He wants at any time – time has nothing on Him. So, when Abraham entered a covenant of perpetuity (with generational...

JEHOVAH RAPHA: THE LORD WHO HEALS

“I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.” ~ Exodus 15:26 REFERENCE: Exodus 15:23-26 The Israelites found themselves in a hot desert without water for three days. The only water available was so distasteful and unpleasant, that they named the area ‘Marah' which meant bitter. Moses was shown a tree by God, whose stalk he cast into the waters and healed it, making it sweet. God was about to introduce Himself to Israel with a new name and this miracle was a token of that....

JEHOVAH NISSI: THE LORD IS MY BANNER

“And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner.” ~ Exodus 17:15   REFERENCE: Exodus 17:8-16   The newly formed state of Israel suffered  an unprovoked assault by their avowed enemy – Amalek. They planned to cut them off from becoming a nation so that the name, Israel, may be remembered no more. (Psalm 83:4). In their wickedness, they attacked Israel from the rear, where the tired, defenseless (children and the aged), and worn were (Deuteronomy 25:17-18).   Israel was never disadvantaged in battle, although newly freed slaves, were few in number, and with no standing army. God was with them...

ELOHIM: THE MIGHTY ONE

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” ~ Genesis 1:1   REFERENCE: Genesis 1:1-10   The first name that introduces God in the Bible is Elohim. Upon this introduction, He proceeded into supernatural acts of creation; we could see a display of unmatched authority and supreme power. Elohim brought everything out of nothing and created order out of chaos. All these He did without recourse to a higher power or consultation with a superior. Hence, this name introduces God as the supreme authority to which every other power or authority submits.   Elohim is the most frequently...
