“The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
- Mark 12:31

God wants you to help the people in your relationships become all that they can be. So stop pulling them down. Stop it, because that is the crab mentality. Do not be a crab! They say you can put ten crabs in a basket and not have to worry about covering the basket. And the reason is when one crab tries to climb up and escape, the other crabs pull it down. And no crab escapes or is ever able to climb up successfully because the others keep pulling it down. You need to get out of the crab mentality and stop pulling people down. Stop it because it is in lifting up that you become all that God has for you.

I will share a personal experience with you. The eighth of June marked eleven years since my wife and I began pastoring. And one thing about pastoring and God anointing you, is that people always want to have what you have. And it is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it is a very good thing. But earlier on, I used to struggle with it because my mind-set was, I cannot give you what I have. One day, a man came to ask me for some “information” and I struggled with telling him. But I overcame the flesh and I told him. After he left my office, God said something I had never heard before. God said, every time you share what I have given you, I give you four times more. I was like, wow! Every time?

So guess what I do now? I do not miss opportunities to share. A man of God came to me after attending one of our God Will Do It Again services and said, ‘the oil at your special service is not just any kind of oil, it is anointed. Tell me how you prepare the oil’. And I remembered “…every time I multiply it by four”, so I told him how I prepare the oil. And as he stepped out of my office, true to His Word, the Holy Spirit showed me a higher level. He said, now, this is how you will be preparing the oil.

It is the smallness of your mind that makes you think you have to take away from somebody to become great. The only person that needs to die for you to fulfill your destiny, died over two thousand years ago and His name is Jesus. You must have a healthy self-esteem. So, now you know why I am passionate about teaching.

Thought: A full vessel cannot receive new oil.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I connect to this promise by faith in Christ Jesus even as I become deliberate about sharing the things that You teach me, in Jesus Name.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
