The Scriptures abound with verses which depict the various… Continue

ARE YOU PRAYING OUT OF YOUR FEARS OR OUT OF THE PROMISES OF GOD?

HOW TO BE PERFECT IN OUR GENERATION

Like Noah, we can be perfect in our generation.

We can -

...remain undefiled if we will simply pursue holiness in all that we say and do

...be without blemish if we will fill our hearts and minds with God's Word.

...be upright if we keep ourselves in the love of Jesus.

Genesis 6:9 says - "...Noah was...perfect in his generations..."

That word perfect means "undefiled, without blemish, and upright." So, in other words, we can say that Noah was undefiled… Continue

AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET A PRAYER THROUGH TO GOD!

Can you say that… Continue

BY HIS LIGHT I WALK THROUGH DARKNESS

"The picture of God's lamp shining on Job's head symbolized divine blessing and success." - Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Commentary

"Those that have the brightest sun-shine of outward prosperity must yet expect some moments of darkness. They are sometimes crossed, sometimes at a loss, sometimes melancholy. But those that are interested in the favour of God, and know how to value it, can, by the light of that, walk cheerfully and comfortably through all the darkness of this vale of… Continue

THESE ARE THE ONES WHOM GOD CALLS "GREAT"!

In Luke 1, two men are mentioned as being "great." Luke 1:15 says of John the Baptist - "For he shall be great." Luke 1:5 says - "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea" - commonly known as Herod the Great. John was "great in the sight of the Lord." Herod was "great" in the sight of himself & of his court.

Which was the really great man?

Are you striving to be "great in the sight of men" or "great in the sight of the Lord" ?

"Those are great indeed that… Continue

LIKE A BURROWING MOLE OR A SOARING EAGLE?

"In worshipping God we must lift up our souls to Him. Prayer is the ascent of the soul to God; God must be eyed and the soul employed. Sursum corda - Up with you hearts, was anciently used as a call to devotion. With a holy contempt of the world and the things of it, by a fixed thought and active faith, we must set God before us, and let out our desires towards Him as the fountain of our happiness."

"He who is content with the husks will be reckoned with the swine. If we suck our… Continue

A LITTLE ONE HAS BECOME A THOUSAND

This message is prophetic. It applies to all those who has been going through a time of great barrenness in their spiritual walk with the Lord or in their ministry.

For the longest time, you may have felt the chastening hand of the Lord - stripping away at your life - so to speak - causing great self-judgment and examination. At times, things - that have happened - did not make any sense whatsoever. You have cried out unceasingly for answers from the Lord.

It seems as… Continue

WITH GROANINGS WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED

"He (God) takes the meaning of our tears, The language of our groans." - Charles Spurgeon

In praying, words may be sincere and truthful, yet they may not be able to express the full meaning of the supplicant. That is when the soul reaches out to a language that is unutterable - consisting of unuttered groanings, voiceless moanings, silent musings, and inward mournings. These are expressions that are more than the one praying can express or explain in ordinary language. They are the… Continue

WHEN WILL YOU STOP GOING AFTER THE TINSEL & TOYS OF THIS WORLD?

"Because God will soon destroy the world and judge the unrighteous, we must not become attached to this world's system or things within it." - The Full Life Study Bible

"Common sense tells us to turn from the tinsel and toys of this world and live in holiness and godliness. It is a simple matter of living for eternity rather than time, of emphasizing the spiritual rather than the material, of choosing the permanent over the passing." - Believer's Bible… Continue
