“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4 Comment: To live means a way of life or lifestyle. Every man has a lifestyle guided and directed by principles or rules of law. From the standpoint of the Holy Bible, two basic ways of life exist. A life of falsehood and deceit which leads to destruction and that of truth and righteousness that gives eternal life. God created man to worship and praise Him in spirit and in truth and he is required to live a…

“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” – Isaiah 59:19 Comment: Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, harm or pain. Satan the Devil and his wicked agents are the enemy. Beloved, the children of God have been raised above their enemies. In fact, the devil and his cohorts of darkness have been put under your feet (Luke 10:19). The enemies…
“Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” – Matthew 4:8-10 Comment: There are many people today who ignorantly claim to worship the true God. But in reality they are worshipping Satan, the devil. This is because they…
“Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.” – Deuteronomy 10:16. Comment: God Almighty made a covenant with Abraham, commanding circumcision (removal of the foreskin) of every male child on the 8th day as a token of their covenant. Failure to circumcise would result in being cut off from their people because “he hath broken my covenant” (Genesis 17:10-14). Abraham obeyed accordingly. (Genesis 17:24-27). Later on, all the males in the gentile city of Hivite were made to be circumcised by the sons of Israel when Shechem, the son of Hamon, the prince of the city…
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed”. 1 Peter 2:24 Comment: Everyone wants blessings from God Almighty but the irony is that not everyone want to live in righteousness. Christianity is a call to righteousness. You have to work out your salvation with Godly reverence. (Phil. 2:12). For the blessings of God to abound in our life we need to live a righteous life. The proof of our love to God is in keeping His commandments. In…
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” – Luke 17:19 Comment: FAITH in the word of God, the Truth, personified by Jesus Christ was key for miracles to happen in the days of Christ and the early apostles. That was why on many occasions when miracles or wonders had been performed by him, Christ would say “thy faith hath made thee whole” like he told the one out of ten lepers whom he cured that came back to express gratitude. (Luke 17:11-19) and the woman with the issue of blood who touched…

“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;” Mark 6:7 KJV Comment: Two or more people working together is an effective way of achieving success in any organisation. It is a common saying, “divided we fall”. In working together everyone in the organisation has a task to perform. Every one is duty bound to do things with the same spirit, zeal and effort. Helping each other is also key to meet the goal. So it should be in God’s Kingdom Organisation. King David sang:…
“The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” – Psalm 118:22-23 Comment: The builders represent the unbelieving Jews such as the chief priests and Pharisees who refuse or reject and oppose Jesus Christ, the stone. The building is the Kingdom of God while the stone is Jesus Christ who is the head of the corner. St. Peter confirmed to the priests and the elders of the Jews that Jesus Christ was the stone they the builders rejected and stated further thus: “Neither is…
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” – Mark 10:27 Comment: Firm faith in God Almighty and His words of truth and righteousness and the love of God makes a true disciple of Jesus Christ to do the impossible in other to be blessed in this life and ultimately obtain Salvation. The rich man who asked Jesus Christ what he must do to have eternal life had the knowledge of the truth or the law but lacked the strength of faith and love of God…
