Text : Heb 4:16    *Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.*  Mercy and Grace are two spiritual elements that all disciples of Jesus need in order to lead a successful Christian journey in this side of eternity. Now, these two elements are spiritual commodities which cannot be gotten on earth. *The only place you can obtain Mercy and Grace is at the throne of Grace.* To approach the throne of Grace however, you need boldness. No man has within himself this kind of boldness in approaching the throne of God except through Jesus Christ. This is why the verse opens with "let us therefore come..... " the word 'therefore' connotes that it was referring to something previously stated. So it's important we see the verse(s) before this our text: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have no...

Text : Numbers 12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous* Aaron and Miriam, probably because they were older than Moses and being of the same parents thought they could rebuke him for taken a Cushite woman as wife. They thought they were at par with him because of the measure of grace they had also enjoyed.  They said, “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t he spoken through us, too?” Numbers 12:2. This insurbodination from the siblings of Moses kindled God's anger and led to the dissappearance of the cloud from the tabernacle of meeting. Immediately the cloud lifted, leprosy came upon Miriam. This leprosy is the consequential effect of her sin against her brother who is now God's servant.   This scenario is pointing to the fact that God has not committed the rod of your leaders into your hands. While you have the obligation to entreat your ...

Text : Numbers 12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous_  Have you ever wondered why the Holy Ghost had to *Kill* Ananias and Saphirra? (Acts 5:3-10). They simply told a A,'small' lie. Small lie? Yes, small lie! They did not steal money from the synagogue's treasury, they did not commit adultery with any church members, they did not even fold their arms showing _"I- Don't-Care attitude_ " towards the growing need of the church. They were only trying to selfishly help like Uzzar who tried to stabilize the cart carrying the Ark. (2Sam 6:6-7).The consequence of this 'smal'l lie of Ananias and Saphirra, and the "small touch' Uzzar was death.   The lie of Ananias and Saphirra can truly be looked at as small when compared to the prevalent evil and atrocities in our churches today. If church leaders were to call for true revival...

Text : Numbers 9:22  Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed . A song writer renders it thus: The cloud of glory is mov.....ing, let us move with the cloud, move with the cloud......_  I used to sing this song as a young believer but the import of the song came to me much later.   The Israelites never moved or journeyed from wherever they pitched their tent until the cloud moves. When the cloud stays,they stayed, when it moves, they move. Even if the cloud stays for 2days, the Israelites had to rest only for 2 days. The cloud of glory upon the Israelites simply indicated God's presence with them. Hence, they can't joke with it. Always keeping a watch on this divine cloud upon their tents. They must keep their watch when at REST or on the MOVE. They must surely have a team of people that ha...

Text : Ezekiel 33:8    *When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.*  Permit me to share an experience I had some years back with you. When I was in my final year in the University, I decided to read in a quiet, lonely class one day. Not too long after I got to the class, a popular cultist from my class also walked into the class, (The type that lecturers fear, the type that doesn't hide the fact that they are cultists).  Immediately, I received a nudging in my Spirit to witness Christ to him, but I whisked the thought away. Surprisingly, the guy walked up to me and tried to start up a discussion. I received the nudging again, but this time, I decided to be civilized about it. I told myself that I will let the discussion build gradually and introduce Jesus with time.  Long story short, I...

Text : Mat 5:44  *But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;*  The demands of love in the new testament is far greater than what Moses commanded in the old.  What Moses commanded appealed conveniently to common sense but falls short of God's desires.  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.Mat 5:43 KJV . It is only natural to love those who love you and hates those who hate you. But if you are in Christ, you are no more a natural being but a supernatural being or a spiritual man. Hence, you are being governed by another law, a higher law. You no longer walk after the dictates of the flesh(the natural laws) but you are now under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8:1. This law of the Spirit gives us four dimensional angles of love as postulated by Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 5...

Text : 1Cor 13:4. Love is always patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited.*  Love is not a thing, it is a being. Love is not so much about what we do, but who we are. I John 4:8 says God is love, so anyone who doesn't have God cannot truly love.  In reality, no natural man can satisfy all the characteristics of love as enumerated in 1 Cor. 13:4-13. It's only a man who has surrendered his life to God through Christ that can truly fulfil the demands of love.   *Love is patient :* One proof of patience in your life is how slow you are to getting angry. King James version of 1Cor.13:4 says love suffers long. That is, patience in this regard is your ability to suffer long (especially the inadequacies of men). Patience talks about your ability to endure without losing your cool and calmness.  *Love is kind :* The International standard Version of 1 Cor. 13:4 says love is ALWAYS KIND. *if it is love, y...
