‘He that hath clean hands and a pure heart…..’ (Psalm 24:4). A transparent object allows light to pass through it, and it’s always crystal clear (i.e. void of impurities). Because the Almighty God is clean and immaculately pure, forming a partnership with Him requires one to have this nature. This requirement may likely be avoided […]

‘…..and he made him a coat of many colours’ (Genesis 37:3). Since there is no crown without a cross, and any true and enduring legacy most likely will have background of hard work; so to be used by God, you must be prepared to wear two coats Joseph wore in his own time. First, the […]

‘I…lifted my eyes to Heaven, and…..I was restored…..’ (Daniel 4:34 – 36). Bringing back what has been lost especially in an unexpected form can be heart-warming (Psalm 126:1).Such was the case of King Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel. When he repented, his understanding, reason, honour and splendour returned and he was restored to his […]

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). As we temporarily conclude this series, it suffices to state that finishing the heavenly race with great accolade requires living a focused life. The world is always ready to substitute your vision with ephemeral ideas and […]

‘For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed’ (Rom 8:19). Graduating with highest honours is not cheap. It’ll demand a life of sacrifice. Apostle Paul once lived a life of comfort, then everything changed because of this heavenly goal (Philippians 3:8). Many times he was beaten almost to […]

‘Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown…… ’ (II Tim 4:8). Can you remember the feeling you had when you were called up to receive certificate of excellence, university degree and you heard the words, “Congratulations on your excellent performance,” You did it! All your hard work paid off and your tireless effort […]

‘…But one thing is needful…… ’ (Luke 10: 41 – 42). Mary and Martha (sisters to Lazarus) welcomed Jesus into their residence one day and in their usual custom, wanted some refreshments to be prepared for their guest. While Martha was busy in the kitchen, Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to […]

‘Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat… ’ (Matt 6:25). Anxieties, worries, cares e.t.c and there is no end to this dragon head that keeps evading human life without permission. However, the devastating effects are always there and that is why the Scriptures caution that: ‘the cares […]

‘Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down…… ’ (II Cor 7:6). Unfortunately no man can negotiate his way out of challenges in life. It seems to me as if it’s embedded in a man’s journey in life. Even the great Apostle Paul experienced discouragement, stress, restlessness and fears. Listen to one of his […]

“…and without fail recover all?” (I Samuel 30:8). The barren is a potential over taker. Have you been termed barren in any area of life and already made a laughing-stock amongst your neighbours? Rejoice because your life is about to experience a positive turning point. One person who experienced overtaking was Hannah and her testimony […]
