In a certain city, there were prisoners. One day the king came into their midst and began to ask each one of them to explain what brought them to the prison. Nearly all of them claimed they were innocent and blamed someone else for their situation. Some even accused the judge of taking a bribe. …

FAITH JOYFULLY CONFESSES ITS VICTORY!
When a man of God prays for you and you are free from pain, you ought to stop complaining. For example, there was a sister I prayed for. When I prayed for her, she was freed from pain but the whine did not leave her voice. There was no confession of victory in her lips; …
EVEN IN DARKNESS, LIGHT SHINES FOR THE UPRIGHT!
The blessing of God enriches the soul for eternity while that given by the world enriches the body temporarily. The blessing given by God is free – no condition attached; while that given by the world is conditional – that is, there are strings. The blessing of God does not need to be serviced. If …

GENUINE DESIRE
Your attitude and conduct cannot change until the Holy Spirit gives birth in you a picture of what He is looking at when He sees you. This means that you are to position yourself for the Holy Spirit to see you. How do we position ourselves? We do this by showing genuine desire towards the …
REMEMBER YOUR DREAM!
Looking at life, its storms or adversities from the carnal or human point of view brings worries, anxiety, fear and death. A good example is David’s encounter with Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50). While Goliath was busy looking at David from the human point of view – I mean, he considered David’s physical appearance – David …
IT IS AS IT SHOULD BE BY DIVINE WILL
Today, everybody desires breakthrough whereas disappointment sometimes serves to keep us for a new level in life. Everybody wants comfort whereas pain sometimes serves to keep us for a new level in life. Mention any great Biblical character and you would see how much pain he had to endure to come to a new level …
TRUE FRIENDSHIP!
In Romans 15:1-3, the Bible stresses the need for us to always appreciate the fact that we are not evenly gifted. The strong should strengthen the weak with all their substance. What is your strength? Your strength might be in the area of money while mine is in the area of divine knowledge; yet another’s …
LEAVE THE ISSUE WITH GOD
It is the goodness of our cause that interests God, more than our physical and mental disposition. This explains why the young, rustic and seemingly inexperienced, tactless David could defeat Goliath in battle. This explains why weak people like me, who are without great strength, fast legs or smoothness of the tongue should ever remain …
CHOOSE THE BRIGHT COLOUR OF PRAISE!
If you find yourself in any unpleasant condition as a Christian, you should not despair but believe the more, have faith the more, pray the more and fast the more – because the situation is meant for your belief, just as you see your good times as a reason for your belief. In the case …
I LOVE YOU JESUS!
God measures our lives by our love for Him and for our neighbour. Anyone who does not love his fellow man, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is His command: whoever loves God must also love his fellow man. If we have all knowledge and ability but have …
DON’T LET YOUR SITUATION DICTATE THE DIRECTION OF YOUR PRAYER!
Remember what happened at the graveside of Lazarus in John 11:38-44. Ordinarily, the situation did not call for thanksgiving but Jesus, being a man of faith was not influenced by the happenings around. What was seen did not influence the direction of His prayer. When Jesus came to the home of Lazarus, where people were …

FAITH IS NOT A FEELING!
People sometimes base their spiritual experiences on feelings and emotions. We cannot understand God by feeling but by faith. You are not saved just because you feel saved. You are saved because you put your faith in God’s Word. The only thing that is stable is God’s Word. God’s Word is the same yesterday, today …
BECOME CONNECTED TO THE ONE WHO MADE YOU!
All of us have made decisions that we regret and all of us can be forgiven and start over. The consequences of our behaviour might have cost us our jobs; however it did not change the fact that God loves us and wants to get us back on our feet. Our Creator would forgive us …

EVERYTHING BIG STARTS LITTLE
You were once a tiny embryo in your mother’s womb. See what you have become today. If something big starts big, it calls for concern because everything big starts little. This teaches us to encourage little beginnings. If one’s faith must grow, it has to start in a weak form. We are in a danger …
THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU!
Too often, we think that the primary requirement for serving God is the gift of spoken language, great talent, high qualifications or impressive academic credentials. Peter and the other disciples were ordinary fishermen from a backward and lowly part of the country. They were nobodies till Jesus called them. This means there is hope for …
THE POWER OF PATIENCE!
Today, our hearts are so occupied by worldly considerations that we are impatient to recognise the fact that there is an appointed time for everything. Assuming Jesus had been impatient when his brothers urged Him to show off in public before the appointed time, He may have been killed by His enemies who were looking …
GOD’S POINT OF VIEW
Faith is not a product of the reasoning faculties but of the recreated spirit. A believer does not have strength as long as he operates in the natural. There is more to life than meets the ordinary eyes. When we base our judgment on sense knowledge, we have not looked deep enough. None of us …
LET YOUR HEART RISE!
Our failure to give Christ His proper place in our heart is actually responsible for the crises of our faith. The management of our heart and its thoughts is important, necessary and fundamental to our faith and holy living (Proverbs 4:23, Corinthians 3:1-2). If we give Christ His proper place in our heart, our confession …
NOTHING HAPPENS FOR NOTHING!
Mention any great Biblical character and you would see how much pain he had to endure to come to a new level in life. It is the principle of life that for everything, there is a purpose. I mean, nothing happens for nothing. Unless you understand this principle, you are bound to despair or murmur …
