A Lifestyle of Giving
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat” (Gen. 1:29 KJV). When you give as a lifestyle, you...
Born Again
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Pet. 1:23). We are begotten of God. We are born of God. We are children of God. We are heirs of God. We are joint-heirs (the word...
Stand Up and Be Counted
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Tim....
The Joy that Comes with Victory
The kingdom of darkness often uses distractions to detour us from our God-given purpose. Distractions are meant to get us involved in anything other than what God wants us to do. The devil’s aim is to distract us from God’s way of life. Paul warns believers in...

Open Up a Well
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. Proverbs 20:5 I love prayer conferences. Ever since we started having them at our church years ago, I’ve found that when pray-ers get together, we have the most...
Work Always as unto the Lord
Ephesians 6:7 (NLT) Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. In this verse, Paul is referring to slaves and masters. Even though we are workers and not slaves (although sometimes we may feel like one), we have to follow...
Stay Hooked
“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” (Ps. 118:6) NO SITUATION IN HELL CAN BRING ABOUT AN EVENT DAMNABLE ENOUGH TO HOLD UP AGAINST THE ANOINTING OF GOD! You don’t have to be afraid! It may look as if everything is...
Full Assurance Of Faith
“Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Heb. 10:22 NASB) How do we know when we have this substance called faith? Do we just...
