JAMES 1:5. Have we ever had times in our lives when we needed answers for problems we were facing, but it seemed that we just could not come up with the right solution? Even though we tried hard to figure things out, it seemed like the right answer to our problems kept eluding us? Wisdom can … [Read more…]
ISAIAH 65:8-9 Most times we look from the natural perspective at things and we are disappointed. We cannot comprehend that there might be another viewpoint, God’s divine perspective. The spiritual can be as unimaginable to a mortal mind as one dollar being worth more than three hundred naira (Nigerian money) is to a four-year-old child’s mind. … [Read more…]
LUKE 19:46 Jesus put His foot down and staked his claim. The temple had a greater purpose and the moneychangers were destroying that purpose, so they had to go! There may be areas in our lives, as was in the temple, that God also wants to get the troublemakers out. It may be our prayer lives, … [Read more…]
FAITH WILL MOVE THE HEART OF GOD. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE IT. ROMANS 4:18-22. God says we cannot please Him without faith. We must have faith to believe in Him, faith to believe He is there when we pray. When we believe His promises that is faith. This is how we please Him. … [Read more…]

1 PETER 4:12-13 The sea is full of salt but it is only extracted through the process of boiling (removing the water to retain the salt). We may not like the idea of going through fiery trials, but if that is what it takes to recapture the “salt” in our lives, we better accept it. God … [Read more…]
MATTHEW 27:51 The Holy of Holies was the place where God met with the high priest who represented the Israelites. It was more like ‘the dwelling place of God’ in the temple. The veil that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies was, in essence, God’s front door. How does this apply to us today? … [Read more…]
PROVERBS 15:3 In Revelation 2:2, Jesus told the church in Ephesus “I know your works.” He had intimate knowledge of all they were doing or not doing. This knowledge was not hazy on the details. It was sharp and clear, like a well taken photograph. The Ephesians would have had mixed feelings about this. On one … [Read more…]
LUKE 18:7-8a Something happens when we pray that would not have happened if we had not prayed. Though I resonate with the above statement, I also realize it applies to true believers.
