 Daniel was described as a man with the spirit of excellence or 'an excellent spirit was found in him." (Daniel 6:3-5). He was described as faithful, without error or fault, and the secret was found in his connection with his God. With that kind of spirit they could not stop him from succeeding or rising to the fullness of his potential unless they cut him off from his God-connection. …

Introduction As we wait on the lord to move in to the coming year, I just want you to know that, first of all it is necessary for us to give thanks; 1. For the life that has been preserved 2. For all the things that has happened in the year 2014: the good, the bad and the ugly. Our heart’s attitude should be that of thanks giving. It should be that of gratitude to God, for …

 1. Everything we have was given to us (by God). James 1:17-25. 2. Everything we are given has potential in them. They can increase, multiply and become greater than how we were given. 3. How we handle these things given to us will determine how we are rewarded or judged. Our ability to manage (steward) these things is the key to our success in life. 4. We shall give account to …

  "There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight" Numbers 13:33. The grasshopper complex is the mentality or mind-set that prevents full obedience to God through intimidation from other factors. We feel paralysed in the face of odds against God's will in our lives. The …

 The first indispensable quality of a leader according to John Maxwell, in his book, 21 Indispensable qualities of a leader, is Character. Character has to do with inner qualities. What a person is made of. Character in a leader inspires confidence in others. How a leader deals with the circumstances of life tells many things about his character. Crisis reveals character. According to John …

  Our response to God in the seasons of our lives always opens up new seasons to us. When Phillip left the revival meetings in Samaria to go to the road leading to the desert, he went from being a city mover to potentially being a nation changer. History has it that the eunuch he led to the Lord was responsible for affecting Ethiopia with the Gospel. Phillip’s obedience opened up new …

 Isaiah 53:3-6, “He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him. Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], …

In this write up we are looking at dealing with particular spirits that have kept many in bondage and how to be free from their influence.  Remember we need to recognise them clearly so that when we take authority over them we do not open the doors of our souls to their operations and they seem to take over again. So we recognise, deal with them then cultivate a life style that keeps them …

This is the end or (bottom line) of the matter: fear God and keep His commandments. The two ingredients: the fear of God and keeping His commandments (obedience) are vital to our study of stewardship as they form the foundation or the basis for the operations for our study subject. The fear of God is the worshipful reverence for God that leads us not only to depart from sin (as it does not please …

These prayers by Apostle Paul contain the keys to a future of victory and fulfilment in any Christian's life. I personally recommend them to all who care to read this. Pray them daily for at least one month. Someone else recommends it be prayed daily for 6 months. I have just used the amplified translation to write out the prayers. Make it personal and you can use it to pray for others too! For …

  The rubbing off on one another in a correct way is the pattern for building a spiritual house. The foundation of this house is the Apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ as the Chief cornerstone. The life, message, dedication and focus of the apostolic people should be what lay the foundation for this house, globally and locally. In these qualities, we find the keys to access to the divine…

Ephesians 2:19-22 states we are to be built together as a habitation for God for Him to dwell in the Spirit. We are to grow into a holy temple in the Lord. This should be true for every relationship and especially for every church as a household of God. Every household holds a family with a father and mother. Every father is to raise other sons to become fathers too in the same household. Every …

 In the beginning God created man in His image and in His likeness. God's first words to man were that he be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the other creatures. He created them, male and female (Gen. 1:27-28). However, the fall of man brought changes to the state of mankind. What was created (i.e. man's spirit) and what was made (i.e. man's body) …

 “In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend (overcome, understand or quench) it” (John 1:4-5). The battle Between Light and Darkness has been the battle of influence throughout the history of mankind. Part of God's purposes for our lives is that we should influence others. This word 'influence' …

 Genesis 1:26-27 says "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." …

 THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP (IT’S A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP) God ordained partnership to increase the effect of everyone’s potential and contribution so that we all can have abundance for every good work. There is a multiplier effect when partnership is understood and entered into in reality. In every covenant relationship there are the principles of sacrifice, being God-focussed, …

 My heart yearns for the fullness of God to be manifested in human lives. Paul prayed in the book of Ephesians that they may be filled with the fullness of God. It is obvious from scripture that God wants to see the revelation of His glory in the lives of members of His family on earth. There have been progressive revelations of His plans and purposes throughout church history especially …

One of the reasons why it is difficult for many to get sold out on God, is because deep inside our male psyche is a desire to be celebrated as one of our esteemed celebrities. Years ago I had this question rise in my heart as I stayed in fellowship with the Lord during one of those times of “heart-to-heart” discussions. “Would you rather obey Me or be celebrated”. …
