Are You Faithful?
1 Corinthians 4:5 (NLT) “So be careful not to jump to conclusions before the Lord returns as to whether or not someone is faithful.

Entering Your Rest 2
Acts 2:42 (NLT) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. When Gbenga first believed, he was in the community of sincere and loving believers. Because they were all graduate students on a university campus, they met every night […]
Entering Your Rest
Hebrews 4:10-11 (KJV) For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

National Transformation
1 Corinthians 7:19 (NKJV) Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

The Knowledge of God
2 Peter 1:3 (NET) I can pray this because his divine power has bestowed on us everything necessary for life and godliness through the rich knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

Bless And Do Not Curse
Romans 12:14 (AMP) Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. Pastor Joe, you’re too slack! That man obviously assaulted you and all you did was sit back and look? Being a Christian does not make one is a fool, your own however seems […]
Marriage and Integrity
1 Corinthians 7:1-2 (KJV) Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Before the epistle of First Corinthians was written, some members of […]
The Fear of The Lord
Philippians 2:12 (KJV) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. One of the most painful things is having to deal with believers who have no integrity. Some so-called believers are outright […]
Faithful in Unrighteous Mammon
Luke 16:11 (KJV) If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? Ekene worked in his boss’s shop where he served as an apprentice. He often added to the price of the goods sold and stole from his boss so that he could make […]
