My children, I warn you not to rely on man. Man will fail you when you least expect it, because he is not reliable. Do not blame Me, when you relied on man and he failed you. Some of you have learned that lesson at a price, through much suffering and others will still learn. You will learn out of what you suffer when you rely on man and not on Me. I am trustworthy and My promises never fail. What I have promised, I will fulfill, but at My time. I am in control, everything belongs to…

Christians must stay alert with regard to the Enemy. When we are reading the Word, praying, and spending time with other believers, good protection is in place. By reading & memorizing scripture & putting it in action, we have truth in our hearts to shield us against deception. In addition, we will be submitting ourselves unto God & we can tell satan to flee in the name of Jesus Christ!

Are you in a vulnerable position where the adversary has easy access to you (be honest)?…

"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised!" Job 1:21 {Many ppl think that believing in God protects them from trouble, so when calamity comes, they question God's goodness and justice. But you should NOT give up on God because He allows you to have bad experiences. Faith in God does not guarantee personal prosperity, lack of faith does not guarantee troubles in life. If it were so people would believe in God just to get rich. God is capable of…

Your ignorance of the WORD OF GOD is the only effective weapon an enemy can use against you.

Jesus knows the Word.

Jesus spoke the Word.

Jesus is the Word.

The price of His presence is Time.

The purpose of His presence is Change.

The product of His presence is Holiness.

The goal of satan is ignorance. It is his only weapon.

satan does not fear your sinning. God will forgive.

satan does not fear your depression. God will drive it away.

satan does not…

Many challenges we face in life are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn't as friendly as you'd like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can't allow the little things to cause strife in your life.

In scripture, just before David fought Goliath, his brother Eliab tried…

Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah any how, Hallelujah any day. No matter what storm you are going through and how hard it may seem know that God is right there by your side so in the midst of your storm still say Hallelujah any way.

Hallelujah any day, thank God for each new…

The God we serve is not a small God. His plan for your life is not for you to reach one level, get stuck and stay there for 30 or 40 years. His plan is to increase you, open new doors before you, and take you places that you've never imagined. He has something big in your future! He's already planned out big breaks, big opportunities and big ideas for you. You may have seen God's goodness in the past, but you have not touched the surface of what God has in your future. God is about to…

We have been taught wrongly for so long, being told that when we give, not to EXPECT anything back. 

This is not correct. Because if that was so, then why does GOD give us the principle of SEED-TIME-HARVEST? ""PLEASE SEARCH THESE SCRIPTURES"" (Gen.8:22)..(Eph.3:20)..(2 Cor.9:6-8)..(Mal. 3:10-12)..(Gal.6:7-9)..(Lk.6:38) & So on. 



Im guilty of being a giver & not EXPECTING anything back & so i often lack a lot of times! You see Its not that we arent to EXPECT…

Think about how impatient we get when we have to wait on God. We often think waiting is a waste of time. When we wait we think were doing nothing. Waiting serves many purposes. It proves how much faith we really have. Those who are weak give up easy,while those who are strong are willing to wait as long as it takes. When we read in Luke 2 we see Simeon and Anna waited a long time, but their time wasnt wasted,it put them in place to be a witness to Jesus birth.v22-38 Not receiveing an…

The Bible is full of people who struggled with loneliness. Sometimes when we read their stories we feel comfortable with the familiarity of them and don’t really consider their extenuating circumstances.

Take Moses for example. We usually think of how God answered the prayers of his mother’s heart and how blessed he was to have been plucked out of the Nile by Pharaoh’s daughter. But I’m sure he felt the stares and whispers as the only Hebrew in an Egyptian royal household. While he…

 Acts 7:34b-36

"'Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.' This is the same Moses whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. He led them out of Egypt and did wonders and miraculous signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and for forty years in the desert." Thoughts for Today:

As Stephen recounts the story of Moses to the Sanhedrin, he uses these words…
