“Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out…

Jesus, who many of us know to be the Savior of the world is more than just a Savior. Jesus, we say He is king, we say He is Lord. But Jesus is more than just being Lord and King. Jesus Christ, who do you say that I am? That is the question He is posing to you and I. In Mathew 16:13-20, the Bible says: “When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist,…
The world is full of Kingdoms. There are kingdoms everywhere. In fact, for those that studied Botany or Zoology, there’s something called ‘the plant kingdom’, and something called ‘the animal kingdom’. You see that while you are doing that study, they will categorize different species of animals and plants and tell you, in this kingdom, this is called something, their botanical name or their species. They give you a name and say it belongs to the “ant kingdom”, “mammal kingdom” and all that. But what is Kingdom? Kingdom tells us about domain. It talks about dominion. It talks about a…
I am sure we have come across this Scripture several times and we have quoted it. But what does it mean to us as leaders? How does it resonate with us as leaders? We will start by examining our text from 1 Corinthians 1:20 – 25. It says: 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached…
Kindly Read: The Authority of Our Faith pt. 1: What Is It Supposed To Produce For Us? Here He did not say let there be light and the bible did not say God was waiting for the light to appear. It said “and there was light”. Obedience was enforced. The power and the right we have is the same way God displayed His word and it became life, that became a good testimony, that became a good report because the Bible said and after God did all that He did and God looked and He saw that everything that He…
Many of us are familiar with what Faith is, and I am sure we have heard of authority several times. But for the sake of this teaching, we will be observing a definition of authority that will guide and help us to understand what the authority of our faith is and what it is supposed to produce for us. Authority is the power or right to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience. So authority is not just in giving orders, I must be able to make decisions and enforce obedience. Other definitions of authority is that “Authority is said…
Please, Kindly read: The Anointing Oil Pt. 1: Understanding What The Anointing Oil Represents here. 1 Samuel 10:1-7; Saul was just a man that was looking for his Father’s ass and he had this experience. Samuel took a jar of the special oil and poured the oil on Saul’s head. Samuel kissed Saul and said, “The Lord has anointed you to be the leader over the people who belong to him. You will control the people. You will save them from the enemies that are all around them. He has anointed you to be ruler over his people. Here is a…
Many of us when we talk about the anointing oil, we quickly think about “Goya” (the olive oil that we use). But the Holy Spirit will bring us to the understanding of what the anointing oil represents, what is the purpose of the anointing oil? What is the reason for the anointing oil? Why did God introduce the anointing? We are going to look at the 1st book of the first mention of the anointing oil in the Bible. The book of Exodus chapter 30, God instructed Moses and this will be the focus reference Scripture for this message. Exodus…
Exodus 3:13-15 “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” 15 Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,…
1. There is nothing that threatens the security of a wife than the thought of another woman competing for the attention and affection of her husband. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting. Nothing is more belittling and degrading. 2. Marriage flourishes when the couple work together as a team; when both husband and wife decide that winning together is more important than keeping score. Good marriages don’t just happen. They are a product of hard work. 3. Your children are watching you and forming lasting opinions on love, commitment, and marriage based on what…
