But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:14‭-‬15 NLT Early in 2018, I was in a bus and the Lord laid it in my heart to preach His good news and pray for the people. I was quite timid so I was a bit reluctant to but He helped my timidity and I yielded, unknown to me there was a young man seated in that bus whom that message and prayer was His saving Grace. While praying for the people, I received a word for a young man seated directly behind the driver's seat and I prayed for Him. At the point of alighting, I was led by the Spirit to have a conversation with him and share the word received with him of which I yielded and this young man shared with me how that he was tra...

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4 KJV According to our anchor text, one key attribute of the righteous/just man (the one in right standing with God) is his faith/steady believing in the Lord. It is not of sons to trust in themselves as the Apostle Paul clearly tells us in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith it is impossible to please our dear Lord as he who must come to the Lord must first believe 2 key things: 1. That He is! 2. That He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him!  Believing that He is is simply believing in His existence and His every name and word (He is God! He is unchangeable! He is eternal! He is Lord! He is I Am! He is Love! He is kind! He is faithful! He is near! He is an ever present help in times of need! He is Holy! He is never-failing! and much more). Believing that He is a Rewarder is simply believing that He has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain. These two beliefs...

And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. Colossians 3:4 NLT Sometimes we desire to do so much on the earth and make a name for ourselves but according to scriptures, we have just one assignment on the earth to which every other thing we do is tied to that one assignment and that is to become like Christ and so represent Him on the earth and reveal Him to our world. The Apostle Paul clear tells us in the preceding verses of our anchor text how that our new life is hidden with Christ in God and so we are not to think about/pursue the things of the earth but the things of Heaven, he further makes us understand in our anchor text that our glory which is a shared glory with Christ in God only comes when Christ who is our life is revealed in us on the Earth and further admonishes us in the latter verses to put to the death the sinful nature lurking within us. Dear believer, you have a new life in Christ and as you seek to grow in tha...

We are in the days where men will be completely sold out to Jesus and totally given to the call of God upon their lives! Men like Moses who have spent the most of their days in preparation for the assignment and yet do spend the most of their time on the mount, men like Joshua who are not afraid to war on the battle field and would March on carrying the Lord's mandate leading the people into the land of promise, men like Aaron who will stand as priests over the people but yet with greater consecration and will not give in to the pressure from the people. Men like Elijah who will stand against all odds and war with their prophetic weapon in total allegiance to the Lord refusing against all odds to bow to strange gods, men like David who will not be afraid to hold up the standard of their Lord before the enemy thereby defeating the enemy and delivering God's people from the oppression of the enemy. Men like Daniel who will stay with purpose even though they be the only one standi...

But who will be able to stand up to that coming? Who can survive his appearance? He’ll be like white-hot fire from the smelter’s furnace. He’ll be like the strongest lye soap at the laundry. He’ll take his place as a refiner of silver, as a cleanser of dirty clothes. He’ll scrub the Levite priests clean, refine them like gold and silver, until they’re fit for God, fit to present offerings of righteousness. Then, and only then, will Judah and Jerusalem be fit and pleasing to God, as they used to be in the years long ago. * * * Malachi 3:2‭-‬4 MSG This scripture clearly refers to God as the refining fire and fire is a tool used in purifying silver, gold and other precious jewels in order for the dross/dirt on them to come up and be completely removed. This scripture also further tells us the reason the Lord will sit as a refiner of silver is for the purification of the Levites to the end that we may be able to offer offerings in righteousness/acceptable sacrifices unto the Lord which imp...

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Revelation 2:2‭-‬5 NIV Dear believer, As you begin your walk with the Lord and journey through life, it takes intentionality and dogged commitment to still remain in that child-like posture before the Father yet doing the things you used to do and your heart panting after Him even much more. We have read of and seen how that many who started well with the Lord and even God doing mighty things through them yet grow weary and become victims of a burnout and sometimes even yet still...

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 NLT I know you feel as though you have been serving, waiting and trusting the Lord and yet His promises don't seem forthcoming but I just want to let you know that our Lord, the Lord God, the Commander of Heaven's army can never, will never and has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain. No matter what the situation around you looks like right now, where you are currently standing financially, maritally, health wise, ministerially, career wise, it is important for you to know and understand that God rewards men and a major requirement for this reward is faithfulness! Our God is a rewarder and truth is, God rewards men but the reason we don't see His rewards most times is because we expect His rewards in certain ways and when we don't see them come in those ways, we do not recognize the act...
