     The Bible tells us that the devil and his hosts know there is one God, and the knowledge causes them to tremble in terror. This means they know He is Powerful and can destroy them at His will. In fact, they know their very existence is by His will, and at His will they will cease to exist. If the devil knows this, why do humans think He does not exist, and if He does, they can wrap Him around their finger!         Those that claim to be sons of God that ought to know these things behave as if He has lost His power or the power can be wielded according to their own will. Hence the rewriting and retelling of His Word as it pleases them. This phenomenon is not strange, as we saw a similar pattern in the Bible. No wonder the Bible tells us: "The thing that has been–it is what will be again, and that which has been done is that which will be done again; and there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9, AMPC). Listen, what was, will be ag...

 “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).        A brother was teaching in a Bible Study that a man who has Christ has everything. In the same breath, he added that to make a mark in this generation, one must have money and influence. He concluded that who you know matters, as it opens doors to wealth for as many as are diligent. To this brother, standing in the Presence of reputable and influential men will open doors of wealth to his congregants. Sadly, this is the dilemma of many within the Body of Christ: the desire to eat from the table of God and, at the same time, feed from the table of the world (1 Corinthians 10:21-22).         The statement of the brother sounds true but is able to lead a man away from the LORD Jesus Christ. He started well but veered off because of the lust for the things of the world. Yes, we do need the things the w...

 "And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world" (1John 2:2, AMPC).        Jesus Christ came to the world, lived (to show man how to live) and died as a Sacrifice for the sin of mankind; and He is coming back again for us to be with Him forever. For as many as believe in Him and appropriate His sacrifice to their lives, they are saved. Saved from the wrath of the Almighty God to come on the sin of the world! God hates the sin, but He loves His creation. Hence He came in the flesh and took the condemnation and the eternal punishment of sin from mankind upon Himself. This is a sacrifice no other god or name has ever contemplated or done for their adherents throughout the centuries, since the creation of the Universe! Now, here is the crux of the matter.         You may have believed Him; it is good, but it is not enough! The Bibl...

       When God made man, He told man: "...God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth” (Genesis 1:28). Man was to be fruitful and multiply his kind. Meaning he will reproduce himself. God expects that as man reproduces himself, he passes on not just his DNA; he also passes on what he has learnt.         This He repeated when He told the children of Israel (while they were in the wilderness) to bind His word in their hearts. To teach their children while they sat at home or they were walking along the road. As they do this, not only will they be blessed, but their days and that of their children may be long on earth (Deuteronomy 11: 18-21). This means parents, especially the fathers, must disciple their children, teaching them what they themselves had learnt.         To disciple them is to teach th...

 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit" (Proverbs 18:21).         Have you noticed that one of the things the enemy has succeeded in doing is changing definitions of certain words? Such that words that were plainly understood now have double meanings. And of course, neither of the meanings is exactly what the meaning of the word should be. Some words, allow your imagination to run while actually meaning something different. The whole idea is not just to demystify language but to demystify the power of words on our tongue.         Now, when you think words don't matter, or they matter in certain circumstances and not in others, you will speak without guardrails on your tongue. What this means is you will mean one thing in certain circumstances and something else in another circumstance. Hence the words "I really didn't mean it like that"! Sadly, the damage will be done.   ...

         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...

         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...

       Sometimes I ask myself if people in the Body of Christ still believe that the God of the Bible is the same today. If we believe He is the same, we believe He never changes, His Word is Yes and Amen, why do we think we can change the terms, definitions and meanings of His Word and He will be "okay" with it.         Many argue that the God of the Old Testament is harsher than the God of the New Testament. Hence, they go on to argue that the Old Testament was the Dispensation of Law, while the New Testament is the Dispensation of Grace. If not for the mercies of God, these proponents would have eliminated the Old Testament from the Bible altogether. For these ones, it is okay to cherry-pick some verses to suit their stance at any given time and to kick the rest of the Scriptures that do not suit their agenda to the kerb! Boy! Heaven is going to be filled with surprises!         Beloved, let's look a bit deeper int...

       The advancement in technology, wealth, influence, and many more have blinded many within the Church to the fact that we are pilgrims on a pilgrimage on earth. Meaning, a day would come when all we have acquired or desired will be left behind, and we will pass through a door to a specific destination. As sons of God, our hope is a living one as the door of death is not the end because we believe and are confident that we will see Him and be raised to be like Him: "...But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is" (1 John 3:2b, NIV).         For as many as have believed and have received Him are born anew into an inheritance that is imperishable, unchangeable, undefiled and reserved in Heaven for us (1 Peter 1:3-5). As we await this amazing gift of God, we go through many trials on earth that are actually designed to reveal the genuineness of our faith: "...So when your faith remains strong th...

 "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 ...

       As a Bible student who is watching for and awaiting the Return of our LORD Jesus Christ, one must be preoccupied with living a life that is worthy of the LORD when He returns. Many claim we live in times where knowledge is abundant. That sounds true, but at the same time, we live in times that are dark and growing darker concerning the knowledge of God on earth. Daily, people attempt to rewrite and misinterpret the Word of God to suit their own appetites. As a result of this, people are getting more fickle in their service and walk with God.         Jesus asked a pertinent question when He was teaching us to be persistent in our prayers: "...Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth" (Luke 18:8b) In the parable, He told of a persistent widow who sought justice from a very difficult and ungodly judge. When looking at the parable, we see the consistency and persistence of the widow until she got her...

       A young man, who loves the LORD Jesus Christ and dutifully serves Him was frustrated one day about a particular project he was working on at his place of work. For days he couldn't find a headway in putting the assignment together. Sadly, none of his team members were of any help, as they always deferred to him when they faced similar challenges. He had always delivered in past projects with excellent results and feedback. However, on this particular one, he could not solve the issues, and no one in his team could help him.         He stood up from his chair this faithful afternoon, threw his arms up in the air and declared, "I am so frustrated, I cannot get this project done, nor can I meet the deadline of submission at this rate." Sadly, just as he had predicted, he could not resolve the issues of the project, and he missed the deadline. Unfortunately, it was a significant project and the organisation lost revenue as a result. Shortl...

       In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus tells a parable about a persistent widow who sought justice against her adversary. She couldn't stand against the person who was fighting her. Her only recourse was to the justice system. She was confident that she would get justice, so she kept pestering the Judge until she got justice. The earthly Judge gave her justice so the woman will not wear him out because of her persistence. Jesus likened this to His elect who persistently ask the Judge of the whole earth for justice against the devil and his schemes. He declared that the Almighty God, the Judge of the whole earth will swiftly grant His elect justice. But He asked a poignant question at the end of the parable: "...However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth ” (Luke 18:8b, AMP).         This question is baffling in the present, in light of how the Gospel is 'spreading' around the world. One would say there ...

 "So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:5-8).         As the Coming of the LORD draws ever closer, there is an increase in dryness, apathy and preoccupation with the world and its treasures in the hearts and minds of many children of God. Looking around our Nation (Nigeria), one would realise that things are not as they should be. The realities on the ground give the impression that the institutions that ought to regulate the lives of the citizen...

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...

       We live in a world that has short-term memory. The memory life span of many is so short, that mistakes and circumstances that brought them sorrow are repeated without a thought to the fact that what they are doing they had done before with dire consequences. As a result of this attitude, many have grown more wilful towards the things of God. One of the signs of the end time, according to 2 Timothy 3, is people being ungrateful. Being ungrateful means not showing gratitude for help, gifts or kindness they received; a feeling of entitlement to whatever they think they have received.         Being ungrateful is a state of mind that believes that the good things that happen to them is deserving, and they do not see any reason to be thankful for them. So was the case of a man named Nabal (which means 'Fool') in the Bible. He was a harsh and evil man in his dealings, yet a very wealthy man in the region he lived in. From the account of his l...

       These indeed are stressful times, especially for a Disciple who intends to live in the purity of God's Word. The journey of a Christian is often marked by wilderness seasons and life’s storms—challenging times that test, train, and ultimately transform the Christian into a true Disciple of Christ. Throughout Scripture, these experiences are not seen as punishments but as divine opportunities to grow in faith, deepen trust, and draw closer to God. When one is going through these experiences, it is likened to a wilderness experience, filled with disappointments, sometimes betrayal, lack and the like.         In this guise, the wilderness experience is not merely a barren or lonely place; it is a sacred space where God refines His children. It is in the wilderness that dependence on God is forged, and distractions are stripped away. The children of Israel journeyed through the wilderness experience. The voice of John the Baptist rang out ...
