Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works, the ways, the purpose and the promises of God. It is the activity of holy thought,
Beloved, time is a major factor on earth. With time, many things you see today will change. Many things we appreciate today will depreciate tomorrow. I am glad that God gave me time. With time, my problems can be solved. With time,
As we said yesterday, relationships are important because we are relational beings. The gift of relationship is God’s blessings to us. They are the true riches of our lives-people; not cars or money. God will always use a man to bless us or send us to a man to bless us.
Genuine people are getting more and more rare. True friends are becoming scarce. I was talking with a sister the other day and she told me how her own junior sister is blackmailing her name.
The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God’s wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
One of the greatest riches God has given mankind beside the gifts of time and the Holy Spirit, is the gift of relationships. Man is a relational being. And we derive that nature from God Himself. Every normal human being will naturally love to have friends or relationships. In family, in the quarter, at work, in school, we want to relate
When I heard for the first time the statement, “Your greatest investment is in developing yourself”, it stroke my heart. Yes, if you desire to make progress, to make more income, you must develop yourself. In other words, Build Your Capacity.
We all know of the man Isaac. Isaac the son of Abraham faced many difficulties in his life. It took 20 years for his wife Rebecca to conceive. Isaac also faced a drought and famine

We are rounding off the week and also the month, let’s remind ourselves some principles and rules that will serve for our comfort and edification. Paul the Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ gave these instructions to the Thessalonians for two reasons:
Though they were materially poor and going through these challenges, Jesus who has the proper expertise to evaluate their lives said, they were rich. Hallelujah! Which riches was Jesus referring to? Rich in their relationship with God. Rich in their spiritual contain which is in fact the true riches of a man. You can look physically and materially poor, but very rich spiritually.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!” (ISAIAH 31:1)
Revelation 2: 25 “But hold fast what you have till I come.” Meditation: Beloved, before you hold fast to anything, you must make sure that what you are holding is authentic. Let me reassure you, the salvation that you received in Jesus Christ is authentic. Sometimes, we Christians behave as if we were the most […]
When God sent His Son to earth, He opened the door of salvation to whoever would believe. That means anyone can become a child of His and have everlasting life! Isn’t it good that He didn’t just come to save certain kinds of people? Aren’t you glad He doesn’t have a list of rules and conditions for salvation?
In the Bible, David was known as a man after God’s own heart. What kind of attitude did he have? Here in Psalm 23, he says, “Goodness and mercy are following me.

If you have notice, for the past two days we have been in the book of Revelation, meditation of Jesus’ words to the churches.
