OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Challenges are a part of life. They are tests of life and we all go through them. Challenges don’t defeat a man but a man’s wrong response to challenges can defeat him. Challenges are not there to destroy us, but to make us stronger, wiser and better. This world presents us challenges, however when you are born again you overcome the world. As believers we overcome by our faith. Faith is our victory. We are not moved by what we see, hear or feel but we are moved by the Word of God. We walk by faith and not by sight. In the midst of challenges, we stand on the Word of God and believe His promises. Our faith comes before our possession. We believe it first and then we will see it. No mountain or giant can stand before faith. By faith we can move mountains and by faith we can slay giants. Faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene. But without faith ...

GIVING IS LIVING

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:38 The world doesn’t owe you anything; you are the one who is supposed to make a difference in the world. You are the one who is supposed to be a giver, lifter and helper. Many people are waiting for things to happen like the next breakthrough. Well, why not make things happen? Instead of waiting for a breakthrough, pay it forward. Every action has a return effect, you will reap what you sow. Instead of waiting for people to love you, help you and be friendly to you. Start sowing love, help and friendship to others. Start sowing what you want to harvest in your life. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 God has set spiritual laws in motion and all you have to do is to take advantage of them. Whe...

GIVING AND RECIEVING

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 Giving and receiving go together. Sowing and reaping go hand in hand. There is no prosperity without giving and receiving. The truth of the matter is that many people would love to be givers, but many people wait for the “right time” to give. They wait until they have more than enough. They wait for just the right conditions. To be frank, that day may never come with that kind of attitude towards giving. He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4 In giving, there has to be sacrifice involved. Where you give not necessarily because you have abundance, but you give because you love God and people. Giving not necessarily because you have abundance, but giving even out of need. Giving is sacrificial in nature. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever beli...

PRAYER UNLOCKS BREAKTHROUGH

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 Your prayers can effect changes and change your world. The faith walk is an upward walk, where you go from faith to faith, strength to strength, grace to grace and glory to glory. However, that is not all God’s responsibility. We have a role to play, in order to experience the life that Jesus came to give us. He told us to work out our own salvation with godly reverence. He told us to put it to work. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 As a child of God, you are responsible as to how your life turns out. God has given you a choice between life and death; blessing and cursing. God has given you keys of the kingdom. Your prayer li...

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:20-21 Life and death are in the tongue. How your life goes, your well-being and your economic state are all dependent on the words that you speak every day. Your words can make you a failure or a success in life. If your life is going in the wrong direction, change your words. He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3 Your words have the ability to create the desired future. When you speak, it is not just mere words. Your words go into the future and create a life that is consistent with your words. If you want to change your life, change your words. Choose life, speak life. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of...

GRACE

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:16-17 Grace is unmerited favor; favor that you didn’t earn, and that you don’t deserve. Grace or unmerited favor came by Jesus Christ. Jesus is full of grace and truth. Every time you come to Jesus, you receive grace and when you come again, you receive more grace. Hallelujah! No judgement, no condemnation, just grace upon grace. The Bible declares that with the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness we will reign in life by Jesus Christ. For if by one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 We are living in the dispensation of grace. Consequently, when you go to God, He doesn’t judge or condemn you. Judgement is coming. However, it is not that time. God corrects you w...

FAITH THAT WORKS

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. Hebrews 11:1-2 Faith is an important subject. Faith is a serious matter. The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God. So, faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 What is faith? 1.       Faith is a law. As much as there are natural laws. Faith is a spiritual law. Just like natural laws, faith works all the time as long as the right conditions are met. Meaning genuine faith works all the time like clockwork and produces results. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Romans 3:27 2.       Faith is believing and speaking. Fait...
