I Can Do All Things.
From Sunday school at children’s church, many of us are familiar with this portion of scripture. We can even quote it off hand. However, only a few of us have actually allowed the meaning of this powerful scripture sink deep: the fact that there is no limit to our ability as believers. A good number…

Act of Faith: Deeds
As a follow up to last week’s post, this week’s post teaches the importance of “works” in faith. The Holy Spirit through Apostle James, tells us that faith without works is dead (Jas. 2:17). He poses a question, asking what the point of faith is without deeds (vs. 14). There is a dangerous circular with…

The Act of Faith: Obedience
Faith is not dormant. Ever wondered why people say “step of faith”? It is because there is an action that must accompany our faith. Many believers are ignorant of the fact that faith is doing. It is not inactive. It actually gets to work. Act of faith is anything that is done to show your…

Love Like Christ
The subject of love among the body of Christ cannot be overemphasized. Love is the basis of our faith and the power behind our salvation. Therefore, it is indispensable to every believer. We absolutely cannot do without it. (Eph. 2:4; 1Jn. 4:8) The ten commandments have been summed up into two, simple yet powerful commandments:…

Extra-Ordinary
A wise man once said “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is God”, and I agree. As a believer, you are not regular. You were regular before Christ, but after accepting Him, you have received what makes you special, the Holy Ghost. It should make us humble, to acknowledge the transforming power of God in…

Firm Foundation
You do not have to be an architect or builder to know that for every lasting building, every building that is to stand the test of time, the foundation is critical. Even trees give themselves a firm foundation by reaching deep into the soil with their roots. This shows how important the foundation is for…

Eternal Life
In last week’s post, we learned about the beauty of Christianity. We learned about the finished work of Christ and how it has liberated every believer from the burden of trying to attain righteousness through our own strength. Today’s post brings into perspective the cherry on the cake: Eternal Life. Sin meant death but the…

The Beauty of Christianity.
Grace is one of the most astounding things we have obtained from God. Sin came through this world by one man. And God so did it that salvation also came to the world through one Man (Rom. 5:12-19). Our faith is what links us to this salvation. In Christianity, we are not working towards pleasing…

Expect Answers
Many times and for so many Christians, we forget to expect answers when we pray. Prayer is communication with God. It transforms us and helps us walk in the capacity God has given us. But even after spending several hours praying, we still fail to do something very important; expect answers. As praying believers we…

The Second Coming
The second coming of our Lord is near and it shouldn’t scare you. The thought of being caught up in the air someday with our Lord should only bring us joy as believers. Before Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, He left us with the comfort that He would be back for us soon. And…

Abuse of God’s Grace
Grace is arguably the most beautiful gift we have received from God, after His love. His grace brought us salvation and everything we enjoy in the kingdom. However, it shouldn’t surprise you that many people –believers included –take this grace for granted. Some even abuse it. One common area of our lives where we abuse…

Whose Voice are You Hearing?
The voice you hear and listen to is very important as a Christian. Many have made or marred their lives based on who they listened to. After leaving Egypt, the children of Israel reached a point where they were only a stone’s throw away from the promised land. The manifestation of what God had promised…

Sincerity of the Heart
For many of us, we forget so quickly that in the things of the kingdom, the condition of our hearts matters a lot. I don’t mean this from the medical or health perspective. What I mean is the sincerity of our hearts when we are doing anything, especially kingdom-related things. Last week, we talked about…
