TOPIC: FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES (1)

Image
TEXT: Deuteronomy 33:6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. Many people find it strange whenever we talk about foundational battles, or when we say this or that is a foundational problem. That's because layman's definition of the word foundation is about the root or first stage of a building... I PRAY GOD WILL OPEN OUR EYES OF UNDERSTANDING IN JESUS NAME... Today we'll be looking at one of the instances where foundational battles affected not just an individual, but not just a family but a whole clan. Although I will not deny the fact that some people preach that there is no such thing as foundational/generational curses but after these series, you are free to believe whatever you wish. Reuben was the firstborn of Jacob and by right he was supposed to get a double portion of the inheritance from his father. Unfortunately, he had some skeletons in his cupboard. 1. He slept with one of his father's concubines/wives and 2. He lied to the ...

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?

Image
LUKE 12:32-48  KEY VERSE: "For where your treasure is, there will also be your heart" (Luke 12:34). Men would be deprived of a purpose in life if they were deprived of a focus. They would live an aimless life unbefitting a human being created by God to enjoy Christ's abundant supply. But the Lord's intention is for man to have a noble goal and pursue it with all his might. That was the main point that our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized when He spoke to His disciples about the importance of His Second Coming and the need for caution. He discussed the relationship between what you aim for and how that goal should devour all of your time and resources. According to the Lord, such a prized possession should be placed "in the heavens that never fail, where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth." God is concerned with man's final destinations and prioritizes his spiritual well-being above all else. He is fully cognizant that a person's secula...

TOPIC: GENUINE MODEL FOR GOD

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-16. "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect, not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." As a Christian whether young or old how you lived your life matters a lot. Your life is a book before many people both young and old, are watching you on daily basis.  "Let no man detest thy youth; yet be thou an illustration of the devotees, in word, in the discussion, in the foundation, in the soul, in confidence, in virtue" (1 Timothy 4:12). In Greek, "model...

THE ABANDONED PREACHER

Image
TEXT: 2 Timothy  4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. The verse in our text is one among some of the verses of the scriptures that were misinterpreted by many Preachers especially those who use the tropical method of preaching. Although I use expository methods I don't condemn those who used topical methods either. Demas has abandoned me - This is yet another proof of the epistle's postponement: Demas was with the apostle during his first imprisonment, and joins in the salutations, see Col 4:14, which were written when Paul was imprisoned in Rome for the first time. Like Apostle Paul a time will come when people in fact people you never expect will abandon you, this may not be because you are bad or something but based on their personal decisions. Whenever this kind of event happens what matters is how strong you are to handle the situation... I PRAY FOR SOMEONE...

HAVE FAITH IN YOUR VISION

  TEXT: "I will pour out My Spirit," says the Lord (Joel 2:29 NKJV.) And also on the servants and handmaids - The gifts of teaching and training men are not limited to any one class or order of people. He shall summon and qualify men of his own choosing, and shall remove them from all ranks, orders, degrees, and offices in society. And He will pour out His Spirit on them, endowing them with all the gifts and graces required to convert sinners and build up the Church of Christ on the foundation of its most holy faith. And this God has done and continues to do. He abandoned the Aaronic line and chose his apostles from any tribe. He bypassed the established order of the clergy and the public schools of the most known doctors and recruited his evangelists from the ranks of fishermen, tent-makers, and even Roman tax-gatherers. Finally, Jesus proceeded through the Jewish tribes, taking Gentile converts and making them preachers of righteousness to the inhabitants of the...
