Feeding The Family During Famine
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Records abound of the reality of famine both in biblical and contemporary times. Economic recession, depression, budgetary cuts and their negative effects on jobs, food inflation, disposable family incomes and the cost of living are all too familiar. In times like these, resourcefulness and reasonableness are required to ensure that the family is still fed. Ultimately, God should be our refuge and repose as we seek resourceful and reasonable ways of feeding the family in famine. “Adversity is…
Without Holiness, All Else Is Vain
Hebrews 12:14 Of what use is a passport for travel if you don’t have a visa or residence permit? Many a believer is contented with the primary and basic qualification for entry into God’s family – salvation, not being mindful of the fact that there is one spiritual experience “…without which no man shall see God”. Every believer, therefore, ought to give holiness the pre-eminence it deserves, and have the willingness to possess it. Without holiness our worship becomes pointless,…
Daily Dominion Built On Daily Devotion
Genesis 1:26-30; 3:8-13 The Christian life is a daily battle between the flesh and the spirit; good andevil (Galatians 5:16-18). If you appreciate and admit this fact, then it followsnaturally, that if you don’t dominate you will be dominated. If you have been dominated, the will and desire of God is that you will havedominion daily. Dominion demands nourishing daily devotion, whereasneglect leads to defeat. Daily dominion comes through nurturing a habit of daily devotion. “No one ever lost out…
Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost
Romans 14:17,18 The Lord does not want believers to be bogged down by ‘non-essentials’. He expressly gives us a checklist of what the kingdom life entails – “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost”. These three virtues are not mutually exclusive – they work together. Every good Christian must not only possess righteousness, peace, and the joy in the Holy Ghost, but must be a channel through which these virtues flows to the world. “If you carefully fulfill the…
Faith for Divine Restoration
Joel 2:25-27; Hebrews 11:6; Psalm 33:18-22 Faith is indispensable to the Christian life. It is not only the key that opens the door to the Kingdom, but also, the determinant of the beneficiaries of the exceeding and precious promises of God. Persistent pain and distresses in this life often perplex many believers. Patience is a prerequisite for Divine Restoration for every believer seeking a way out of “the sufferings of this present time”, be they self-inflicted or heaven-sent for the…
Victory Over The Power of Darkness
Colossians 2:13-15; 1:12,13 Every true Christian is engaged in an invisible and unceasing warfare with the powerof darkness. No matter the spiritual height you have attained, you will not enjoyimmunity from this spiritual warfare. Even Christ Jesus had to contend with thepower of darkness at every moment of His time on earth. Anyone who rejects the existence of the power of darkness is living in denial of thetruth. Satan is the chief architect behind this warfare working with, and through…
