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

Focus: Isaiah 45:13 - KJV 13. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.   Isaiah 45:12-13   It is never the intention of God that darkness be introduced to the earth. 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. The moment Adam fell from glory, He pronounced His salvation plan through the seed of the woman. Eventually, Abraham became the recipient of the promised seed. Now, sin came into the world through the act of a man; in the same manner, righteousness through salvation, was presented unto all men by the sacrifice of one man, who cam

Focus: Titus 3:5-7 - KJV 5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6.

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.   Romans 3:27-28   The beauty of the work of salvation done by Christ for mankind is that no other man had a hand in it to say th

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. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.   Isaiah 55:1-5   There is a nerve-racking thirst that flows from the enemy after having kept man in the scorchy side of the world through deceit and antagonism to the voice of the Lord. Ironically, everyone that

Focus: Luke 16:22-23 - KJV 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:19-31   Merry Christmas to you, dearly beloved.

Focus: Acts 14:22 - KJV 22. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.   Acts 15:32-36   It is never the joy of the enemy that anyone receives salvation.

Focus: 1 John 4:17 - KJV 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.   1 John 3:1-7   The essence of being believers is to live the life of Christ while in the body.

Aside the misrepresentation, we live a life of deceit

Focus: 1 Peter 1:9 - KJV 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.   Romans 6:15-23   Eternal laws make it explicit that the souls that sin shall die. Hence, the essence of the works done by Christ to ransom man from sin is that as many as believe in Him may not have their souls in death but in life everlasting. It becomes a waste however for a person to assert faith in Christ, gain the whole world and then forfeit his soul to death in the end. Inv

Focus: Ephesians 4:26-27 - KJV 26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil.   Psalms 37:8-11   Anger is a booby trap of the devil to entangle the believer in darkness. A person who is angry is neither humble nor meek. A proud person is resisted of God and that is what anger brings. Hence, anyone that allows himself to be angry opens the door unto evil and separates himself from the Lord. The Bible points to the fa

Focus: Romans 6:5 - KJV 5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:   Colossians 3:1-11   By faith in the word of God, everyone who believes in the works of Christ is dead to the flesh having been crucified with Christ, buried with Him through baptism and the life he lives afterward, is lived by Christ Jesus.

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.   Romans 14:13-19   All that matters in the sight of our God is love. Whatever we do that do not end up in love, is inimical to God. Hence, God enjoins that we operate in mercy and truth at all times so that other men and indeed, Himself will locate us with favo

Focus: 1 Timothy 6:11 - KJV 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.   2 Timothy 2:22-26   The difference between the believer and the unbeliever is that the one has found truth and basis for righteousness while the other has not. To him, life can be led successfully when engaging in all manner of things that the believer knows God will not approve. However, it becomes a terrible affair if a per

They keep on going like the persons of old not knowing that they had since left the faith and are fully operating in the flesh. But God see
