TOPIC: NOW IS THE TIME TEXT: John 11:29- *"As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to Him."* There's so much that needs to be done, but how we love to take our time! We never seem to be in a hurry when it comes to spiritual matters, but are forever in a hurry for things that are not only earthly, but which are not guaranteed to add a second to our lives. The story of the wise and foolish virgins come to mind: The wise ones made adequate preparations, taking…

TOPIC: I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU TEXT: Mark 6:6- "And He marvelled because of their unbelief ..." Have you ever felt belittled and smelt the odour of disdain? The amazing thing about it is that it does mostly come from people who knows something about your past and present or a little about you. Jesus of Nazareth went to His village, and was in the temple as His custom was; He not only taught them the Word but spoke with such power that the people became uneasy and began to ask…

TOPIC: LET'S GO ON A WALK WITH JESUS TEXT: Genesis 6:9- "... Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.'IN As I pondered on the possibilities of walking with God and how men of old like Enoch and Noah could accomplish such great feats when they could have chosen to do otherwise, I heard God say clearly: "No one walks with me and remain ordinary" We can go on listing names of saints of old and how they fared in their walk with God, and you…

TOPIC: HIS PRESENCE, MY TREASURE. TEXT: 11CHRONICLES 15:1-19, EXODUS 33:12-15 KEY VERSE: Exodus 33:14- “And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.”* Humanity is frantically searching for peace, love, wholesomeness, and comfort. The problem however, is that we are seeking for it in all the wrong places; we wake up daily to the realization that, instead of relief, we are plunging deeper in the mire. True peace and all that man would ever need is…

TOPIC: NOW THAT WE STILL HAVE TIME TEXT: Genesis 6:14- Make thee an ark of gopher wood, rooms shalt thou make in the ark If there's anything to learn from Noah, it is that God is patient and that He keeps His words. "....So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11) The rooms made in the ark could have been occupied by…

TOPIC: KEEP HOPE ALIVE TEXT: Psalm 30:5- “…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” The LORD is the same yesterday, the same today, and will forever be the same. Seasons may change, He remains God. Kings will be enthroned and dethroned- He remains God. We may change and lose faith in Him yet, He remains steadfast and unmovable. Whatever He has said, He will do. The promises in His word are for you. The saints of old grabbed their portions as they held…

TOPIC: YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TEXT: 1SAMUEL 1:27- For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him.” Child of God, you have what it takes to be whatever you want to be. You aren’t inferior to anyone alive, or dead. You aren’t created with a lesser substance; you have Jesus! The Jesus you accepted and is now at work in you isn’t different from the son of the holy God that appeared in Nebuchadnezzar’s fire. If Jesus could break protocol and…

TOPIC: Stay in your place* TEXT: John 1: 19-29 Key verse: John 1:23- "He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias." There is nothing like knowing your place and staying there. A lot of people go through life never really knowing where they ought to be and what they should do, that is why life seems meaningless and one long search for something that is missing. If you discover your place in life and…

TOPIC: POWER OF DOMINION TEXT: GENESIS 1:26-28- “And God said, let us make man in our own image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion...” Dominion is a right of every one connected to God. God first exercised dominion when He, at a snap of His finger, called things that were not as though they were, and they came to be. Genesis 1 is a proof that the almighty God has power and that of His own accord has given power also to man. Adam didn’t beg for it, so it would be…

TOPIC: BE MINDFUL. TEXT: Acts 3:2- "And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple." He was a certain man; anyone can be that man. Disabled from birth, the people around him found a way to make him less of a liability to them by always carrying him to the temple to fend for himself through the means of begging. He never failed to come with…

TOPIC: KINDNESS IS GODLINESS TEXT: 2 Peter 1:7- *"And to godliness brotherly kindness ; and to brotherly kindness love."* The story of Esther could have ended badly if not that God positioned her uncle as a ladder. We know that God can lay it in a person's heart to be of help to another, and that individual can choose to have a mind of his own and do contrary; that wasn't Modecai's case. He was more than a parent, he was an angel in the form of man. The demise of Esther's…

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM JESUS (Part 1)- YOU CAN'T HAVE THE STAGE FOREVER Art Buchwald it was who said : "Whether It is the best of times or the worst of times, it is the only time we have." Sometimes, it's a huge burden to do the needful because of all the things screaming at us for attention at the same time, but if we would pay a little more attention, we would discover that some of those needs are nothing short of distractions to stop us from the really important things. Our…
