Revealing His Truth

"You are out of data, recharge your account..." This was what I got from my network provider the moment my device stopped been internet active. I could no longer engage by online businesses, posting my issue articles, checking my mail updates, chatting up my treasured friend through my various social media account..., it was not too cool. Then, it suddenly flashed my mind that as pilgrims on earth, it is necessary to recharge in the GRACE direction.  After all, we read in scripture, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness..." (2Corinthian 12:9). The sufficiency of God's Grace as made no excuse for the believer in time of difficulties; infirmities and challenges because His Grace is sufficient. While, it remains true that "...all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2Timothy 3:12). For the believer, in the face of these persecutions victory is sure as he or she hangs ...

Are you currently in a despicable condition and you think and feel all hope is lost, I like to tell you, there is hope! You might be aware of the story of Elizabeth's fruitlessness (John I:5-25 ). Zechariah's family had considered the possibility of their fruitfulness bleak but yet God showed up. Elizabeth conceived and became fruitful. God is showing up in your affairs now. Beloved, there is hope of fruitfulness for you in God. All you need is to be "righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the lord blameless" (John 1:6). Do you lack vision like the man born blind (See John 9), his case was so severe that Christ's disciples had to ask, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that was born blind?" (John 9:2). See, there is hope for you because from that moment, the man received his sight. Yours may not be physical blindness, it could be lack of direction in life, all you need to do is to obey God as the Blind man d...

VANITY In the words of the preacher "...vanity of vanities; all is vanity."(Ecclesiastes 1:2) The vanity of life is a priceless and eternal true that all hominid must always be conscious of. In simple and direct terms vanity means emptiness and valuelessness. The preacher in his expression was pointing at the unending meaninglessness of man's toils and labours in this world. You see, we give our time, strength and skill to a number of earthly venture that are actually good with little attention of the usual end of it all. Have you seen or ever heard of a man who lived forever? Have you heard of anyone who dies and still lives on the earth? Have you heard of anyone whose achievement have not been challenged or surpassed in generations? The dressing point is that life itself is vanity and in it is no hope. Man is born to live, and lives to die...Man is born to die. Beloved, the unchanging death as man's end should place your thought in the realms of defining a hope for...

A thief is someone who steals; in other words, a person who takes what does not rightfully belongs to him or her. These days several means are adopted to steal, while some device tricks and deceits as familiar among pickpockets, internet fraudsters and the one termed 419; others will engage the use of force to get what does not belong to them. The activities of armed robbers visiting places or on the highway will properly describe this. One undisputable fact about thieves anywhere on planet earth and perhaps beyond is that they are so detested. A thief is a criminal and this treated and punished as such. You will be fast to remember the capital punishment melted on the two thieves ('male factors' as used in the Bible) that were punished with sinless Jesus. They were crucified to death. "And one of the male factors (thieves) which were hanged with him[Jesus] railed on him...but the other answering rebuked him..." (Luke 23:39-43). You see, there is hope for a thief, b...

The first thief ever is the devil, that old serpent. He came to Eve in Garden of Eden to steal her mind when she was carried away by her lust and enticed; he came to kill her conscience such that she underestimated her God and His law; he came to practically destroy her relationship and that of Mankind with God. What a thief, a murder and a devourer. No wonder we see in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Also, in 1Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour". Don't be his victim. Just the same way the devil carried out his devilish and deceptive antics on the first woman and by far the first family of the human race, so does he today. He is neither omnipresent nor omnipotent, but he has developed agents assigned everywhere in the world to undertake ...

One thing I have always desired and prayed for, is to live every second and minute of my life in the consciousness of the ability and power of He who is in me, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1John 4:4). The devil is never tired of making believers to underestimate the ability and power of God who lives in them. He adopts his devices to distract the believer from the fact that God dwells in them; he thrown up atmospheres of fear to repress the believer's faith and confidence in God. Dear friend, let me raise some points here, which I know will help you understand where you stand as God's redeemed. First, "Ye are of God...". God owns you and will never leave you to suffer destruction and torments from the devil. Just like every property owner will guard his/her property jealousy against damage, so will God do to His property which you are as a redeemed saint. Seco...

Crucial points, especially where decision must be made are CROSSROADS. Many times in our lives we are faced with circumstances in which silence won't do. All that would be needed at such point is to make a decision and that very fast to remedy something or prevent a catastrophe. A case in point is that of the biblical Israelite in their course of journeying out of Egypt. It was a pressing situation that breeds fear; before them was an unchallengeable Red sea and behind them was a ferocious pursue of an organized slave masters under Pharaoh's leadership. You should be quick to remember, the Israelite remained at a point of either submitting and returning to the unpalatable painful experiences under their former Egyptian task master or descend into a welcoming destruction presented to them by the raging Red sea (An account recorded in Exodus13,14)     A central question being agitated when in a crossroad situation is that of decision. The children of Israel were faced wit...
