Text: 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear,: because fear has torment. He that fears us not made perfect in love_ .  Fear of danger or anything  actually kills faster than the actual danger. Some years back when I  was in the secondary school,  one mischievous boy caused a great deal of trouble to the whole school.  From the blues, he just started shouting snake!  snake!! snake!!! Immediately everybody started running helter skelter.  One of the students jumped through the glass window and got seriously injured. Some others got head injuries, leg injuries and so on. Other students who didn't even hear the guy nor knew the reason for the pandemonium just blindly joined in the wild race.  In less than a minute,  I happened to be the only one left in the class. Not that I was not scared but I wanted to see the snake so I could run in the right direction. Later when some level of calmness was restored,  it tu...

Texts:Proverbs 24:10  If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength  is small. As long as we are living on the face of the earth, we are subjected to different times and seasons of challenges. No one is exempted from these challenges. When you are confronted with any challenge ( or if you are in one now), I encourage you not to faint. Hold unto the Lord and don't give up.   The day of adversity simply means that a day will show up for you that will be quite challenging. When that day comes, you must know that it is also part of the days the Lord has made. Some only love good days of celebrations, promotions, fun and enjoyment. They don't like a day of adversity. Nobody really does anyway. But we surely do have challenging times at some point in life.   One thing that the day of adversity does is to reveal your strength. It is the day of adversity that measure the size of your strength: small or big. If you fail in that day, ...

 Text: Ecclesiastes 8:4  Where the word of a king is, there is power, and who may say unto him, what doeth thou? The world is largely ruled by words. But words carry different strength and capacities. The strength of the words is in the Speaker. When a king pronounces a word, it becomes a law. That was the position the three Hebrew men found themselves thousands of years back in Babylon. (Daniel 3).   A King by the name Nebuchadnezzar ruled in Babylon. He was not a small king at that time. He ordered that his graven image be worshipped at the sound of the trumpet, and automatically, it became a law. But these three Hebrew men refused to buy his idea of compulsory idolatry. Long story short, they were to face the King's wrath. In this situation, no one can deliver them from the fury of the king except a higher authority. All Glory to God that these men were connected to the King of kings. He is the only one that can overrule the verdicts of any king or any author...

Text: 1 Peter 1:9  Receiving the end of your faith ,which is the salvation of your soul. There are five key-words in our text above that we need to take a second look at :   1. Receiving: Well, this is a present continuous tense which depicts that what we are looking at is ongoing. Also, receiving means to take something that is being offered. As a receiver, you can either accept or reject.   2. End : There is no end without beginning or starting point. Obviously, the starting point in this regard is the day you begin your Christian journey. By that I mean the day you had a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, by giving your life to Him, and not necessarily the day you started going to church or reading Bible. Invariably, the 'end' in that text suggests that being born again is not the destination, but the beginning of a journey with an end in view.  3. Your Faith : The bone of contention is "your faith." Your faith is the conviction you had when you ne...

Text : Genesis 41:40  You will be over my house, and all my people will obey your commands, only with regards to the throne will I be greater than you .  Today, the Lord wants to address someone who is not satisfied with his present position because he knows there is a better and higher place for him or her. God is more interested in taking you higher than you are. Hence, He has orchestrated a number of events that will ultimately launch you into the higher ground.  However, the pathway to success always come with lots of challenges and difficulties.    The story of Joseph was a good case study in this discourse. He endured unhealthy rivalry from his brothers and later experienced harsh betrayal from these same brothers. He was sold into slavery, he was lied against while faithfully discharging his duties and was eventually imprisoned. His only offence was that he refused to compromise the standard of God for a fleeting enjoyment. The turning point came for...

Text:  Proverbs 17:5 The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker,  and the one who rejoices over calamity will not go unpunished.  The poor needs no definition,  when you see one you will know. Jesus Christ said, the poor you will always have with you(Mark 14:7). So, the poor are always around.  The question therefore is, what are you doing with the poor?  Don't be quick to mock anyone. Specifically, the word warns you not to mock the poor, because  that's as good as insulting your Maker. The following are God's instructions concerning the poor: 1. Intentionally leave a portion of your produce to the poor and stranger to benefit from. Leviticus 19:10, 23:22. 2. Don't oppress your employee, (or anyone who renders you service)  especially the Poor ones. Deut. 24:14.proverbs 28:27 3. Show pity to the Poor,  because in so doing you are lending to the Lord. Proverbs 19:17. 4. Don't rob a Poor man and don't take advantage of the Poor, for the Lord...
