        Who is Jesus to you? Remember He is fully God! He is One with the Father and the Spirit. He is the express image of the invisible God: “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself” (John 1:1, AMP). Isaiah 9:6c calls Him the ETERNAL FATHER! Beloved, what do you call Him? The sum total of your relationship with Him is summarized in what you call Him, not what other people call Him! What you call Him is actually how you relate with Him! However, He desires that you come to truly know Him as and call Him ‘FATHER’!         I always wondered how the Disciples of Jesus Christ must have felt when they asked Him to teach them how to pray, and He responded: “…you should pray like this: Our Father in Heaven…” (Matthew 6:9a). I believe that phrase would have shocked them. To regard the Creator of the Universe and all that is within as ‘Father’! Jesus was introducing the Father to u...

              A songwriter wrote: “Busy serving the Lord, busy praying for all men. Busy sweeping the floor in the house of the Lord. Busy singing and dancing, prophesying for all men. But do you really know the Lord or you are just busy for Him…?” This song is an apt picture of the state of so many in a generation that has all it takes to usher in the coming of the Lord but is sadly unprepared to see Him return.  Have you noticed how busy the world is these days? Everyone is going about something: A new way or an improved way to do something or gain something. There is so much motion in the world, yet it seems and feels as if we are not moving anywhere. You may argue that my assumptions are incorrect. You may be right. That is an argument for another day. However, as a child of God, if I may ask you, with the increase in Church programs, ministries, and the likes, how has this increase affect the moral fabric of the communities or society we l...

       I was in a meeting some time ago, and the preacher said something that sounded old school at the time. He said, ‘we need to return to the old-time religion when gospel songs were all about God’. Of course in our time now, the term ‘religion’ rubs us off in a wrong way as its definition is the opposite of Who God is. But I believe that was not what the preacher meant. He was not advocating ‘religious’ songs, but songs that were hymnal in nature – songs that solely focused on God (the nature of God)! I saw that the statement did not go down well with most of the congregants as they were murmuring.         After the service, I spoke to a sister to know why she murmured during that part of the teaching, and she said those old-time songs are boring and lack life! Wow! This got me thinking and pondering on what the difference could be between most of the popular mainstream present songs and the old-time hymnal-like songs. After all, they wer...

       I was in a prayer meeting a while back and the Sister that led the worship was incredible. Her voice, the songs, and passion were ethereal. In fact, one would say she brought down the very Host of Heaven into the meeting. The Presence of God was so heavy in the meeting, it was awesome! It was a Prayer meeting to remember as God moved mightily among us; indeed, the Glory of God filled the room and all agendas as to what to do next were thrown out of the window.         In retrospect, when I ponder on the meeting, it was not the songs (as they were popular), her voice (like any other seemingly good voice), her presence (she was not fantastic looking) that ushered in God’s Presence, it was her heart – a heart of worship! She knew her call and she operated in it. Sadly, so many singers and songs in the Body of Christ today draw attention to themselves and the worshippers rather than to the One Who is supposed to be worshipped. She did not ...

       I was exchanging pleasantries with a sister I had not seen for quite a while; and she asked me, ‘how is your walk with the Lord?’ I replied, ‘I bless God!’ And we set up a time to meet and catch up. After she left, the question she asked returned to my mind again: ‘how is your walk with the Lord?’ This question is very important as it transcends one’s physical wellbeing to one’s spiritual wellbeing. As sons of God, if we desire to reign with the Lord Jesus Christ when He comes, we must be of sound mind and our walk perfect before Him. We cannot be neither here nor there with Him. No matter what we face on a daily basis, we must be persistent and unwavering in our faith. We were warned by Apostle Paul by the Spirit to: “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]…” (2Corinthians 13:5a, AMP).         In our present ...

       An associate stated recently that prayers do not work as they should in his life anymore! I was taken aback and it set me thinking. If prayers do not work as they used to, it means, at a point in time they were very effective. It then follows that something must have occurred in that person’s life to cause prayers not to work the way they should. Talking with him, he agreed that he carries the Holy Spirit within him. He just doesn’t feel his prayers are getting to God anymore, he declared, frustrated! Many a time in our lives, we are like the young man. We have prayed consistently about an issue but it looks like the heavens are shut to our cries, yet we are Born Again children of God. Something is not right! I pointed out to him that the desire of God is to commune with us and answer our requests made to Him. Even if we do not quickly see the manifestation of the answers to the prayers, we must have faith that it is done! He was not convinced!    ...

       In the Bible, we saw king Balak of Moab doing everything he can to get Prophet Balaam to curse the people of God (Israel). Balaam declared, how could he curse a people that are blessed, dwelling securely in their tents and beloved of God (Numbers 23 – 24)? Now, the only way for the people to be cursed is if they fall into sin, because a causeless curse cannot rest on a person (Proverbs 26:2). Sadly, fall they did! But Praise God for Phinehas (Aaron’s grandson) that stood his ground against the onslaught of darkness while Moses and the Elders sat.         Presently, for the discerning, it is clear that something is happening in the Spirit realm. It is as if we are reliving the Balak and Balaam moments again in the Body of Christ, especially in our Nation. Things that are clearly evil are being celebrated as righteous. We even try to explain away the judgments of God. We see the severe hand of the Lord upon the Church, but we explain it ...
