Salvation is not the only reason why Jesus died for our sins, assess to the father and heavenly blessings are some more reasons. For when he died, the veil that separate the outer court of the temple and the holies of holies was torn from top down. But why do we pray and not receive answer is the matter we shall handle in few days. Today we shall talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in prayers. The scriptures state in Romans, likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought to but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. We have many requests and do not know how to present it to God, the way we ought to for quick answers, scriptures says it is  one of our weaknesses as men, but here comes the solution-the Holy Spirit making intercession for you that cannot be uttered. When Jesus was on earth bodily he had severally interceded for his disciples: when they were in the raging sto...

“Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint”  Prov.29:18  [ESV] I am a student of military campaigns and warfare in history. The study of great military campaigns has revealed universal principles crucial for every battlefield victory. Guess what? These principles are rooted in the Bible. These great generals throughout history actually learned the principles of war from the Bible and there are twelve of them. God has a lot to teach us about how to effect total victory in our lives through these principles. It does not matter whether you are a business person, an entrepreneur, a solopreneur, a freelancer, a professional, or a stay-at-home mom. These principles will save your life. In fact, these principles will give you victory as you deploy them, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. We will kick off this season with the Principle of the Objective. Every war is propagated by an objective. Unfortunately, not many people engage with an objective. A lot of p...

ANCHOR TEXT: “The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you” Genesis 12:1. In the study of economics, one of the reasons people migrate to the city is for gainful employment. They know that white collar jobs and tertiary education are not available in the rural area, and would not come to meet them in the village. So, a wise person knows that he must relocate to the city. Imagine you are standing on the coast, what would you be seeing? Imagine you are standing on the roof top, what will you be seeing? Now imagine you are inside a helicopter, how far do you think you can see? What a person standing on a level ground will be seeing is different from what a person in a helicopter will be seeing. One of the natural laws of life is the law of location. Everything in the universe has its location. For instance, if you need to catch a fish, wisdom demands that you go to where rivers are, and not the desert. Y...

We have many rich people around us, who we respect, honour, and even idolise but they are not truly rich.  True riches is not measured by the abundance of things(landed property, high valued assets etc) a person owns. It is not how many influential positions a person has occupied but its simply in the test of ownership. How many of what you have do you really own? To "own" here simply means "to keep" many we call rich don't have a guarantee of still having those things they have today, tomorrow. This is the simple reason why, they feel to secure tomorrow they have to continue endlessly in that position and never loss power. Jesus proofed his total ownership of his life when he said, "I will lay down my life and in three days I will pick it up" Mr Rich man, can you give out all what you've got and you're, and still pick them up? Whatsoever you can let go with assurance that you can get it back, is actually the measure of your worth in...

ANCHOR TEXT: “Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)” John 18:10. We are all creatures of emotions. There are certain decision we take; certain words we speak, and certain attitude we display that lack rationality. But unfortunately, we often expect everyone to be rational all the time. Jesus told His disciples that He would die shortly. But Peter, out of emotions said ‘No’. Was this rational? Or where is the sense in Peter’s action of cutting the ear of one of those who arrested Jesus for trial with a sword? Peter responded differently because his perspective of the scenario was different from that of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 20:20-28, the mother of the sons of Zebedee nervously requested that Jesus should grant her two sons the privilege of sitting beside Him in His kingdom. But the response of Jesus in the two instances showed that those requests were irrational. But because He ...

Theme: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Memorise: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Read: John 7:37-39, 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Message The baptism of the Holy Spirit is very important to every heaven-bound Christian for many reasons. The first thing that comes to mind is the personality of the Baptiser, that is, the Holy Spirit Himself. He is the third person in the Trinity. From the beginning, God has been in charge of everything th...

“Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out… But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me… you will not bring this community into the land I give them”  Num.20:11-12  [NIV] #3. Decisions! Decisions!! Decisions!!! This is one thing I can hear in my spirit consistently. Your decisions, they say, determine your destiny. It is not the devil; it is your decisions that determine your destiny. The turn you take or you do not take. Your decisions will either hasten or halt your destiny. So watch out for what I call the destiny H.A.L.T signs. Do not make impulsive decisions when you see a halt sign so as not to halt your destiny. What is a halt sign and how do we recognize a halt sign? What is the H in the H.A.L.T sign that you need to watch out for? H is for Hungry. Do not make impulsive decisions when you are hungry. That may sound trivial but it will save your life; ask Esau. He will tell...
