Time To Draw Near!

If there is a time humanity needs God, it is now! So many confusing theologies and seemingly right teachings that appeal to our senses but these are deadening our sense of what is sin and what is not. Unfortunately, so many saints have been swept away by the euphoria of the moment and are losing sight of the doctrine of the word of God. It is not enough to claim to know Christ; we are admonished to work out our salvation on a daily basis. What this simply means is to live out that which we claim to believe in every facet of our lives. Equally, we are to use the knowledge of God to overcome the strategies of darkness. James 4 warns us to be on our guard about the conditions of our hearts so as not to give in to the lure of darkness. God never said we should run away from the earth so that we would not be trapped by the devil; the command was for us to face the devil and resist him. Have you ever wondered why the devil flees from us when we resist him? His fleeing from us is not because we have suddenly become giants, NO! Rather when we resist, he knows the resistance is not of us but a power that is at work IN us which is Jesus Christ. We are not called to be on the defense against the onslaughts of darkness but to be on the OFFENCE against it! This power, we cannot get by having occasional walks with God, conditional walk (because of what we are asking for) or congregational walk. But a walk that is personal, habitual and consistent! A conscious walk based on confidence and conviction because we know that our Redeemer lives! Being in a gathering of God fearing Christians without partaking in the power behind the gathering does not make one a victorious Christian no matter how much we whistle, shout, hoot or claim the promises. To have the power, we must of a vital necessity seek Jesus Christ as we seek to eat and breathe!

In 2 Chronicles 15:2, He said “Your Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you”. Therefore, “draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). When we do this, God not only protect us, He upholds us so that the wave of darkness does not sweep us away. The world is feeling abandoned and blaming God for its woes forgetting that they abandoned Him first! Friends, there is no better time than this to take back our families, schools, jobs, positions, communities and countries from the clutches of darkness. It is indeed in these times we must rise up from the sleep of complacency, political correctness and ‘safe’ Christianity and be who we have been called to be. Priests that are warriors of the Most High God! God bless you.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
