While it is true that the devil moves around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, in prayer our focus cannot be him. Most at times when scripture speaks about dealing with the enemy, phrases such as watch, be vigilant and be sober are often used, rather than prayer against him. This is because …
I become amazed at how God still selects His people for work and still decides to choose men of weakness, frail and subject to the weakness of the flesh. For a long time I was amazed at this, considering why God even decided to put His treasure in earthen vessels like us. All through out …
It was Socrates the famous Greek philosopher who said that the beginning of all wisdom and understanding is contained in the words: "Man know thyself." Knowing yourself is living in the truth of who you truly are, as God has made you to be, then selecting your values and letting them influence your life and …
Jesus! I can’t describe Him enough, because He is the fullness of everything. There is something about that name Jesus, that makes it the sweetest name on earth. Oh! How can you not love this man. Jesus was man yet He was the son of God. On earth He was the son of man but …

We cannot do away with Easter without arguably two of the most popular names we would hear in this season. The two disciples of Jesus. Peter and Judas (the one called Iscariot). Well, so what about these two individuals who were followers of Christ. There are lessons to be learnt from these two, because they …

As we reflect on the truth of Jesus’s death and resurrection, we begin to stand in awe of what God through Jesus accomplished for us. My meditations brought me to when the veil of the temple was split into two (Matthew 27:51). This was immediately after Jesus gave up the ghost. But what was the …

For the next 4 days, I will be reflecting on my mediations in this Easter season. A season which represents the very core and foundation of the Christian faith. My first meditation came, as I kept on pondering on a sermon from church and as the Lord laid on my heart. My Meditations 1. There …
Now thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14). This is one of the most profound verses in the New Testament which I love so much. These two words (Now and always). I am gradually getting to the point in my Christian walk where I am realizing …
We must all understand that Eros outside of marriage is a corruption of what God actually intended and is rather lustful pleasure, a distortion of what God meant love to be. So however we look at it, romance or any sort of sexual involvement outside of marriage is never God's will. "For this is the …
Eros denotes sexual or romantic love crafted out by God to be expressed in marriage. So the God who designed Eros, designed only marriage for its consummation. As such Eros is in no way sinful. But here is the challenge and I agree with Gary Thomas author of the book "Sacred Search" who explains that …
Have you ever imagined what exactly the love of God for us looks like. As I sat down contemplating on a scripture verse during my early morning. This phrase carried me throughout the whole week. "Be Secure In God's Love For He knows what He is doing with your life." He knew what He was …
In this life, we may experience different feelings at different times, because of the troubles of this life and the complexities of our emotions.
O death, where is thy sting!! O grave, where is thy victory!!
In Christ, though we may face satanic oppositions and have tribulations,we should be least worried about them because of what God in Christ has accomplished for us.
See, I do a new thing, for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, even though it be told you. Thus says the Lord; I will crown your year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways shall overflow with abundance. This is your heritage as a child of …
Could we actually imagine a time where the Almighty God could take a break and exit the affairs of this life for a period. Perhaps like the movie "Bruce Almighty." Actually, this could never happen, because even in His "vacation," He still remains God and is supreme over all things. Such was the case in …
WHAT ABOUT PRAYER The exercise of prayer exposes one major weakness in man and among believers which is that ability to pray and continue in prayer. The Bible calls this an infirmity and recognizes that most of us will have a struggle, not only to keep in that attitude of prayer, but also to spend …

When the responsibility of leadership is passed onto you, so is the responsibility of prayer and intercession. That becomes the powerhouse of your ministry and if you neglect this it's corrupts everything else. This is how I began to learn the art of intercession!! In my previous post I wrote on how that God so …

Our stories carry a place in Gods heart. They really do. I can almost remember the exact day I felt the Lord’s breath over the embers of my soul. I …OUR STORIES CARRY A PLACE IN GODS HEART!
Obviously, my real struggles in prayer just taught me that prayer is a spiritual activity and that we needed to grow in it to better understand its dynamics. And trust me, there is nothing the enemy fights more than anything that opposes his kingdom and so for the man who has began to pray he …
