Focus: Psalms 77:2 - KJV 2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.   Psalms 50:14-17   In the present world that is full of darkness, trouble looms in every sphere. But there is a God that dwells in light and by nature disperses darkness whenever He shows forth. To overcome the thick trouble that flows from darkness, man requires the light of God. Hence, it is most essential for anyone that finds

Focus: 1 Kings 5:4 - KJV 4. But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.   Proverbs 16:7   The solution to antagonism is in living in righteousness. Whenever the Lord finds a man’s way pleasing, He gives him rest on all sides such that even his enemies find peace with him. And once the enemies are at peace, there is no basis for strive or worry. The converse is also true: when a man’s ways displease the Lord,

Focus: John 10:9 - KJV 9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.   John 10:7-10   A door is an access. The access leads either to a good or a bad place. Jesus is the door of the Lord’s sheep for access unto the Great Shepherd, God. But then, there are doors and there is the door. As Jesus is the door, there are other doors that present themselves unto the sheep but lead not to the Great Shepherd. Every servant a

Focus: Proverbs 23:11 - KJV 11. For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.   Proverbs 23:10-11   Our God is the father to the orphan and judge of the widow. They are seen as the lowly, or unfortunate, in society. It is true that in some cases, some with infidel fathers are less privileged than some orphans. In the eyes of heaven, the orphan requires greater protection for being fatherless. To this extent, the mighty God who is their redeemer stands in

Focus: Hebrews 6:11-12 - KJV 11. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.   Hebrews 6:9-12   The hope that we have in Christ is so precious that we need to continue working to retain it so as not to forfeit it.

Focus: Romans 15:13 - KJV 13. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.   Romans 15:8-13   Everything that God had done from the very beginning through the times of the fathers and all their prophesies were about the manifestation of Christ for the ransom of the entire mankind – not the Jews alone, nor the Greek, but everyone that comes to His light. It is the mind of God from the time Ev

Focus: 1 Corinthians 15:2 - KJV 2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.   Hebrews 3:6-14   The Gospel of Christ is the good news that is preached about the works of love that the Lord did in giving His only begotten Son for the ransom of mankind from the wages of sin that dangle over the heads of men like the sword of Damocles. It is that everyone that hears, receives and believes the Gospel as preached, i

Focus: 1 Peter 1:22 - KJV 22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:   Romans 12:9-21   Love is a word on many lips that do not understand the meaning thereof. Love first of all is God’s person. And He commands that we should be like Him: Love. To this end, like God who releases the air to every creature whether good or evil, allows the rain, give

Focus: Matthew 5:9 - KJV 9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.   James 3:17-18   Our God is called the Man of War but indeed He is a peace lover. Those who first “met” Him and had only a little glimpse of His being ascribed too many attributes to Him and gave us the picture of a monster as God. This is what Christ came to correct and did correct. God is Love and therefore, righteous. Peacemaking is first towards God, then the neighbor a

Focus: Romans 12:21 - KJV 21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.   2 Kings 6:8-23   The ministry we have of Christ is that of reconciliation. Before appointing us into it, Christ knew the hearts of men to be desperately wicked. Hence, the wickedness of a man does not become a bar to the believer from doing good. In other words, the evil deed of any man is no license for the believer to repay with evil. Rather, he should repay the evil with good deeds so as

Focus: Matthew 4:19 - KJV 19. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.   Luke 5:1-11   It is possible to receive crumbs from the Lord that serve as life miracles from time to time. Yet, we can be clear partakers of the true meal on the Lord’s table whereby we are made to work miracles ourselves, through the hand of God. Whenever we experience a visitation from God, we are bound to experience some form of lifting in areas of our lives. But when we

Focus: Ecclesiastes 12:13 - KJV 13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.   Deuteronomy 10:12   God is purposeful and will appreciate His purpose being fulfilled. Like every reasonable manufacturer, a product is made for a purpose and unless the purpose is achieved, the product fails and disappoints the manufacturer. It is the same between God our maker, and man, His product. The sole purpose fo

Focus: Malachi 3:6 - KJV 6. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.   Numbers 23:19   Happy New Year, dearly beloved. May this new year be for you a year of supernatural turn around for better, in Jesus’ name. The Lord is declaring to us today that He is the same always and never change. Hence, because He is Love and Light, He does not undulate from being Light into being darkness at some point, never. Neither does He ever stop loving to

Focus: John 12:25 - KJV 25. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.   Luke 14:25-33   Glory be to God for bringing us to the very last day of the year. But going by the words of Christ, the best way for us to find and live our lives is to lose it for His sake. When we become over exacerbated about our lives to want to be all things without thinking about Christ and His kingdom, we are already losing or

Wherever there is darkness, there will always be captivity and God knows. But because of His being, He detests captivity for His children. Hence, He is always on the lookout fo

Focus: Galatians 3:29 - KJV 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.   Romans 9:6-9   God is Love.

Focus: Romans 6:7 - KJV 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.   1 Peter 4:1-5   The beauty of the nature of the believer is that from the day he surrenders his life to Jesus Christ, the spiritual import is that he becomes dead to the flesh which hitherto characterized his life and living, and takes up the life of the resurrected Christ to live, going forward. In essence, since it is impossible for the dead to experience pain, the believer is not susceptible to emotional r

Focus: John 7:37-38 - KJV 37. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38.
