Philippians 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” Paul, in the scripture above, said he was content both in a good and bad state. He said, “My contentment is not based on my location; if I am in Ghana, I am content, if I am in America, I am content, if I am in prison, I am content.” When he was in prison, Paul wrote letters comforting those outside. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by...

Did you know that confessions drive out demons? No wonder scripture says, “They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Revelation 12:11. Mark 7:29 And he said unto her, “For this saying, go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” A woman expressed faith in Jesus by telling him “even the children eat of the crumbs which falls from their masters table” she said she only needed a crumb of healing from Jesus. Jesus told her, her confession had made her child whole.  I want you to note that, Jesus said it was the confession or the saying of the...

Life is a war; from the spirit realm to the natural, we are always fighting something. It could be the devil, sickness, poverty, enemies etc. Because of this, we must be battle ready at all times. What are some of the spiritual preparations that we can make? I would like us to examine this scripture by looking at it symbolically. Isaiah 21:5 “Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: Arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.” This scripture gives us seven things we can do to be battle ready. I want us to examine them in detail....

2 Chronicles 20:21 “And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy [endureth] forever.” What does the term “Beauty of Holiness” mean? Jehoshaphat appointed singers to sing before his army as he went to war. They were to sing about the beauty of holiness. When they began to sing, they started singing about the “Mercy of God.” The beauty of holiness, apart from all other meanings it may have, means...

What are you chasing in life; money, pleasure, fame or power? We are supposed to be chasing or following after Jesus but I will be the first to admit that it is not an easy task. It is however, very rewarding because from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Luke 9:23 “And he said to them all, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Three things are required of people who want to chase Jesus. First of all, you must deny yourself. To...
