Life Issues

The life of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth shows us that we can have peace amidst the storms of life. While travelling in a boat with His disciples, having just finished a long session of preaching and counselling for only God knows how many hours, there arose a great storm bellowing against the boat in which they were. The disciples were so afraid that they would die at sea, because it seemed as if their boat would capsize.  Meanwhile, Jesus Christ was fast asleep in the inner chamber of the boat. It is amazing that He could sleep even in the midst of a storm! The disciples woke Him up. Accusing Him of being unmindful of their predicament. Jesus was surprised that His disciples could ever imagine that the boat carrying the Author of life would capsize! Howbeit, He arose and rebuked the wind behind the raging storm, and there was a great calm. The series of events that occurred in this story shows us that the devil and his cohorts can launch an attack against us after a ...

Today, the Holy Spirit is asking you if your prosperity is built on wickedness.It is dangerous to prosper through wickedness. One of my church members was delivered from being hooked by evil prosperity when he was offered a huge amount of money to defraud his organization. He refused to be part of the deal because he knew the spiritual implication of being unequally yoked with the wicked  (2 Corinthians 6:14-18) . The love of wealth makes a lot of people ignore God’s counsel, with devastating consequences. Such wealth will eventually grow wings and fly away.  Proverbs 13:22  says that a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous. In other words, if you manage to gather wealth by stealing, lying or other acts of wickedness, the Lord is saying that He will take that wealth from you and give it to the righteous. Are you tempted to gather wealth through acts of wickedness or enjoying wealth obtained through sin? God is saying to you today that He is willing to prosp...

*Proverb 2:19* There are things you can do on earth and reverse them; There are places you can go now, and you can come back later; There are people you are seeing now, you will still meet later; Prisoner may still come back home after many years; The car you bought can be sold; The cloth you bought can be sold; You can pack out from the flat you rented; You can resign from the job you accepted; *BUT.......* *_ANYONE THAT GOES TO HELL AFTER DEATH, CAN'T COME BACK AGAIN;_* _NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER CAN SAVE THEM;_ _NO AMOUNT OF PLEADING CAN HELP;_ _CALLING THE NAME OF JESUS IN HELL IS A WASTE OF TIME;_ _THEIR FAMILY CAN'T HELP THEM;_ *_IT IS A POINT OF NO RETURN .............;_* _CONFESSING OF SIN IN HELL IS A WASTE OF TIME;_ _THEIR OFFERING AND TITHE WONT HELP;_ _THEIR SERVICE FOR GOD ON EARTH WILL NOT COUNT;_ _YEARS OF LABOUR WILL BE IN VAIN;_ _EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE A CURSE;_ _TI...

The practice of making New Year’s resolutions goes back over 3,000 years to the ancient Babylonians. There is just something about the start of a new year that gives us the feeling of a fresh start and a new beginning. In reality, there is no difference between December 31 and January 1. Nothing mystical occurs at midnight on December 31. The Bible does not speak for or against the concept of New Year’s resolutions. However, if a Christian determines to make a New Year’s resolution, what kind of resolution should he or she make? Common New Year’s resolutions are commitments to quit smoking, to stop drinking, to manage money more wisely, and to spend more time with family. By far, the most common New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, in conjunction with exercising more and eating more healthily. These are all good goals to set. However, 1 Timothy 4:8 instructs us to keep exercise in perspective: “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,...

Silent Pride is a subtle way the devil is snatching blessings from believers.There are many bible verses where God has repeatedly frown on PRIDE.  In the book of James 4:6b, the bible says, 'God resist the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. This simply means, God is seriously at war with the proud. In the beginning, God created us out of the dust of the ground and breath the breathe of life into us, this is how we became a human being. So no matter our achievements in life, it must not enter into our head and we see ourselves as all in all, because just in a seconds God can take the breath away. No matter the degree you have, no matter the position you have, no matter how sophisticated you are, no matter how costly your facial makeover is,no matter how costly your car or house is,  the moment the breath is taken from you, you become just a lifeless body and that body will be returned back to the dust. PRIDE is in two categories, the VOICED PRIDE and the SILENT P...

The devil is the “accuser of the brethren”. It is unfortunate that some people ignorantly posses this attribute of the devil. How can a person be an accuser of the brethren without knowing it? The answer is simple: when you refuse to forgive those who have wronged you, you are passively accusing him or her as an evil doer. The practical implication of refusing to forgive those who have wronged you is that you become a prosecuting witness against a brother or sister. You are therefore on the side of the devil in heaven’s court litigating against your own brethren. It’s  therefore wise to heed the words of Jesus in Mark 11:25: “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your father also which is in heaven may forgive your trespasses.” Many professing children of God find it difficult to forgive. One wonders if such people have ever experienced joy of forgiveness from God or man before. Unfortunately for them, the fellow they are accusing i...

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.Proverbs 1:24-33 (KJV) God, personified as Wisdom, bemoans men’s ca...
