Speak From a Heart Convinced by Faith
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. (Romans 4:18) Abraham’s faith was not merely something he kept as an abstract thought. What he believed affected the way he approached his circumstances. Genuine faith produces an inward […]
Extent of your vision is the boundary of your blessing!
And the LORD said unto Abram, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: (Genesis 13:14) What you continually see influences what you prepare yourself to pursue. A person who has no vision may remain satisfied with very little simply because nothing greater […]
Cross your Jordan
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee.

Grow in the House of God
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) The house of God is a place of spiritual training. When you come to the church, don’t come merely to occupy a seat. Come ready to learn. Come ready to participate. Come ready to receive the Word […]
Cultivate Godly Habits
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7) Your spiritual life is greatly influenced by the habits you cultivate. An excellent Christian life does not happen accidentally. You have to give attention to the things that build your spirit. Prayer, studying the Word of God, fellowship, worship, […]
Take your life in Christ seriously
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. (Hebrews 10:24–25) There is a seriousness that must come into our Christian walk. Christianity is not something we practise only when we are in trouble or when we […]
Your Past Does Not Define Your Glory
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Now that you are in Christ, you must ensure to never dwell in your past. It makes no difference what your past experiences may have been—you are the glory […]
Excellence is not an accident: it’s a choice!
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel… (Daniel 1:19) Excellence doesn’t happen by accident. You have to condition yourself for it. Just because you are born again and have the Holy Spirit in you does not mean you should stop developing your character. The life of God […]
The Holy Spirit Dispels Fear
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear is a spirit, and it stands in direct opposition to faith. Fear magnifies the power of darkness, while faith exalts the truth and power of God. As a child of […]
