“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…
“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired.” – Zephaniah 2:1 Comment: One of the ways the devil is using to enslave the world is creating difficulties in men’s day to day endeavours so that things we ought to do are left undone while we do things we ought not to do. This is done by him to distract man from fulfilling the purpose for which God created him. To worship and make God Almighty our creator to rejoice and to provide for us all our requirements in accordance to His riches in glory; we are the sheep…
“Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.” – Proverbs 13:21 Comment: The Righteous is a person who acts in accordance with the Truth or Word of God preached by Jesus Christ (the Word of God personified), his true anointed Servants, and their companions and associates in this age of the end of the world. The Righteous are obedient, faithful and show trustworthiness to the Truth. Knowledge of the truth is vital to be Righteous. God promised blessings to the natural Jews who obeyed His commandments. He through Moses told the Jews, thus: “Behold, I set before…
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16 Comment: Unconditional love is known as affection without limitations or love without conditions. This term is known as complete love. So God’s love for His people knows no bound/limit. God’s love for mankind, as described in the Bible, is clearly unconditional in that His love is expressed toward the objects of His love despite their disposition toward Him. In other words, God loves without placing any conditions on the loved ones; He…
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” – Mark 11:24 Comment: Prayer has the power to produce required results. What is needed is implicit faith in God and His word. Then steadfastness in the practise of righteousness. Elijah, the Prophet of God made idol worshippers in ancient times to realise that their belief in “baal” as God is fake. The prophets of baal prayed from morning till evening without answer but when Elijah prayed to God Almighty, and his prayer was answered. The people…
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” – Ephesians 6:16 Comment: The moment a brother or sister resolve to accept the Truth Jesus Christ brought into the world, he/she has begun a spiritual warfare against the devil and his cohorts. It is a spiritual warfare. So we must hold on to our spiritual weapons to pull down and crush all the strong hold of the devil and his agents who walk against the knowledge of God. – 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; read Ephesians 6:12. So, St. Paul…
“To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?” – Isaiah 46:5 Comment: The ancient Jews were rebellious, despite God’s wonders showing His love and care. They were easily swayed by worldly desires. King Ahab of Israel married Jezebel, who brought Baal worship and 450 prophets. As a weak leader (effeminate), Ahab let Jezebel control his actions and the nation. This led to a conflict: should they worship God Almighty or Baal? King Ahab accused Elijah of troubling Israel, but Elijah replied that Ahab was the one causing trouble. Elijah proposed…
“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear”. – Romans 11:20 Comment: The natural Jews were the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or Israel. God founded them in Egypt in the days of Joseph, the son of Israel. They dwell in the land of Goshen in Egypt under God’s protection despite the wickedness of Pharaoh that did not know Joseph. When they cried to God, He heard them and sent Moses and Aaron to deliver them from the hands of the wicked Pharaoh whom He…
