DON'T GAIN THE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL

Image
Hello beloved saints, I heartily welcome you to a glorious month of June. I believe you are growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ? I will like to share with you on something so profound and I pray God comes alive in your heart in the name of Jesus. When we say it’s not worth it. What exactly do we mean? It means the value of what you are buying is not commensurate with the cost. Mark 8:36 says, “For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the rest of the world put together. We need to grasp what is meant by “the whole world”. For this is not only the physical or geographical world. It includes the business world, the scientific world, and the intellectual world. Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the entire world. Jesus’s question in Mark 8:36 is a very important one. In context, Jesus was speaking of dying to self and selfishness in order to find your...

REHEARSING 1st THESSALONIANS 5:21

Image
In 1st Thessalonians 5:21, scripture says thus, "prove all things; hold fast that which is good." I have never seen a generation that believes in anything they hear or see like this present generation. They take anything told them hook, line and sinker without verifying from the Bible. They are carried away by every wind of doctrine and all sorts of cunning craftiness of men, Ephesians 4:14. The Bible to some of them is just an ordinary religious book they carry to church on Sundays. They hold dear to their bulletin than they do the Word of God. No wonder there is so much division in the body of Christ in recent times than in the past when the Bible was the source of church doctrines and believes.  Acts 17:11 described the Berean Christians as more noble than the Thessalonian Christians in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. They weren't ready to accept any teaching or doctr...

FOOD FOR TEENS: HUMILITY

Image
Beloved teens, welcome to this glorious month of May. I hope you are walking in the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Humility can be defined as a modest estimate of one’s own worth. Romans 12:3 says, “For I say through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” According to the above scripture and definition, pride and humility starts from our thought, how we rate ourselves in our eyes. We are who God says we are; As He is, so are we in this world. “Of His own will begat He us by the word of truth to be a kind of first fruits of all creatures” -- (James 1:18). Our greatness as believers in Christ cannot be over emphasized but it should never be a yardstick for high mindedness.  Below are some key points on why you should live a life of humility. 1. Humility is one of the qualities of God. I...

OPERATING THE KINGDOM MANDATE

Image
Dear saints, if you are having financial challenge, it is because you’ve been listening to the government and the social media. God never work by the economy of your nation because you are not from there. You are supposed to belong to your Father’s nationality and not Nigeria. Have you forgotten what your Father said to you in 1st John 4:4? “Ye are of God, little children and have overcome them…” Did he say you are of your earthly parents? The answer is a big NO! You are born again, you are a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new -2nd Corinthians 5:17. Your nationality has change, “Now therefore you are no more stranger and foreigner, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.” – Ephesians 2:19. You belong to heaven; you are from above and not from beneath – John 8:23.  Just like Nigeria has her constitution, so do other nations. The constitution of a nation is to change the citizen’s mindset, so as to relat...

Food For Teens: PURPOSE DRIVEN

Image
     Greetings dearly beloved teens, welcome to this wonderful month of March. Hope you are walking in the victory Christ has given you?     ‘Purpose’, what is the meaning of purpose? Purpose is that which a person sets before himself as an objective to be reached or accomplished. Everything on earth is created for a purpose; purpose is the only attribute everything and person has in common. The only person who determines the purpose of a thing is the creator of that very thing. Ephesians 1:11, “In whom also we have an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will.”     The mistake a lot of people make is that they try to determine their purpose in life by themselves; they don’t seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost (creator) or their pastors. Instead they choose careers because of financial gain involved which is why a lot of them have not achieved true fulfillment.  ...

Be Led By The Spirit

Image
     The Lord met Moses at the back side of the desert and called Him through the burning bush for the sole purpose of setting His people free from the oppression of Pharaoh in Egypt. He said to Moses, that He has come down to deliver the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians and to bring them up into a good and large land, a land that flows with milk and honey- Exodus 3:8. Moses did not know the land except God. Moses must yield to God to be led into this glorious land described by God. The children of Israel could only enter into that land when they are led by the Spirit of God.       As it was for Moses and the Israelites, so it is for us today. There is a land flowing with milk and honey for every one of God’s children, but we must be led by God’s Spirit. The Lord says in Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) thus, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God ...

BEHOLD

Image
    Welcome to this wonderful month of February, may the grace of our Lord continually increase in your life in Jesus name.      This month I would like to direct your eyes to something in God’s word that will change your perception about life and it is titled behold. The word ‘behold’ means to direct the eyes to, or fix them upon an object. The word behold appeared in the Bible 1,298 times. It has to be pretty important for it to appear that number or times.      We know that there are two realms; the physical realm and the spiritual realm. We also know that God dwells in the spirit realm. The Bible tells us in Galatians 5:16 to walk in the Spirit. How can we walk in the Spirit? To walk in the spirit, have to first see in the spirit. Just like walking physically you must first see where you headed before you move, that is why blind people always require guidance in order to walk. The same applied in the realm of the spirit and this is ...
