Discipleship

Our decisions and habits are influenced by the knowledge and wisdom we possess. Knowledge and wisdom provide us with information and insights that can guide our decision-making process. They help us understand the potential consequences of our actions and enable us to make more informed choices. Developing good habits is often linked to having the right knowledge and understanding the principles that lead to positive behaviours.  Hence, lacking the appropriate knowledge prevents the formation of beneficial habits. Consequently, without cultivating the right habits, the path you tread upon will fail to lead you to the destiny God has intended for you. To begin with, it is important to grasp the existence of two distinct origins of wisdom. One source stems from hell, while the other originates from heaven. It is crucial to comprehend the workings of the adversary. He has been dispatched from the spiritual realm to this earthly domain. Consequently, he exerts...

The Bible is full of parables that illustrate principles of the kingdom of heaven (or kingdom of God). Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. God’s government is kingdom-operated. A kingdom is the domain of a king. The king’s domain, rule or influence can be referred to as the kingdom of the king. There are many facets of the kingdom of God. There is a coming kingdom, a present expression of it and there was an expression of this kingdom in history. So there is a past, a present and a future aspect to the kingdom of God. It is an eternal kingdom designed to rule ultimately over all other kingdoms of the earth. The present expression of the kingdom of God is seen in the lives of people who have a living contact with Him. These ones allow His government to rule over their lives. It is a...

The prophetic word God gave me this year is "multiplication of blessings on his people, multiplication of judgments on the earth and enlargement and increase upon his people". What I understand by this enlargement and increase is that there is going to be divine health, divine favour, and supernatural increase in your life. So, get ready.  The foundation scripture of this prophetic word is from Isaiah 61 basically the whole chapter He says,  “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,  To those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That...

Jesus planned for the church to be the training ground for the citizens of God's kingdom. He delegated authority, responsibility and His Vision to the church. His called out ones. He plans for the church to be built on Him as their foundation. He also expects that the revelation know ledge of Himself and the Father would be the basis of operations in the church He is building. Mat 16:15-19 He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, andto be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—ahuge rock like Gibraltar] I will...

Your Breakthrough (and the Holy Spirit) We want to know how to experience breakthroughs. We want to understand how to be godly agents for breakthroughs in other people’s lives. Similarly, God wants us to achieve these breakthroughs too. However, He wants this to be achieved as we are conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ, in both character and power. It’s His desire that we walk with Him, experience breakthroughs, stand in victories, and demonstrate God’s power whilst giving Him all the glory. David experienced God’s power in his life in many ways. As a young man, he experienced this power in the killing of the lion and the bear, before slaying the Philistine giant, Goliath. It’s unsurprising that, as an adult, David had a firm confidence in God for victories. 2 Samuel 5:19-25 (NKJV) ‘So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver...

[Study extract from message] Alot of us think salvation is about getting saved so that one day when we die, we go to heaven. No, it is a whole package that contains so many things that so many believers are now waking up to. Our salvation package starts with our contact with God through His mercies, through hunger for Him, and by faith we make contact with Him. By His word and by His spirit, He has a package for us wherein His divine provisions have been made. From our eternal redemption to His divine protection, His divine provision, to His divine direction and His divine attention. He makes His divine assignment known to us through the flow of his divine wisdom. We experience this divine flow of power. Every challenge we face in life, can be traced back to our salvation package. Think about it.  There are three phases that I...

You will love the Lord your God with all your heart and your entire mind and all yourstrength (worship). You will love your neighbor with the love of God (service and fellowship). There are some things we need to pursue so as to keep our spiritual lives healthy in church and as individuals. Strip yourself of every defilement, get rid of hypocrisy and set goals that will keep you out of every thing that defiles. There are five identifiable practices that are sure to keep your spiritual life in good health as a church and as individuals and these are: worship; fellowship; discipleship; ministry and evangelism. Worship:This is measuring worth to God, giving Him his due worth in your life and with all your heart. It starts by acknowledging His place in your life. He owns you and He has a right to your life and all you claim to be...

(Study extract from message)  The first thing to note is that power has been released to you. The power to slay your giant has been released to you.    We learn this from Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15-22  ''Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,  do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power  which He worked in Christ when He...

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 as we study the restoration of truth, offices and understandings. I believe we should be moving towards the finishing line now: Coming into the full manifestation of the sons of God. There have been many streams of knowledge as well as movements in the Body of Christ. We have ‘tabernacled’ around one stream of knowledge or the other, thinking that it was the fullness, only to realise it was a part; not the full picture. Let us take in the full picture...

Every instruction in God’s Word carries a consequence. When obeyed, the rewards are there and when disobeyed, the rewards do show up with time. What happens many times is that the benefits are sometimes limited to our understandings. Without our understanding, our cooperation is limited and possibly inconsistent. Many times we tend to be event-oriented rather than process-oriented. God’s dealings are usually process-oriented though they manifest as events. One of such instructions is the instruction to give. This runs through the Bible and its basis is found in the principle of the seed and harvest. The entire kingdom of God operates on the seed –principle. Jesus made that clear in Mark 4, when He was discussing the parable of the sower. In verse 13, He asked if they got the parable, because failure to get it implies they may not get the others. God Himself, in carrying out His redemption...
