"...our Transgressions Are With Us ..."

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Aug 10, 2017

We all must pray to God that our own inner nature will not destroy us.

The book of Isa. 59:12 says, “For our transgressions before you are many,and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions indeed are with us, and we know our iniquities:” Scripture: Judges 16:1-end Using the account in Judges 16 as a case study, we realize that when we live with sin as Samson ...read more

"Surely The Arm Of The Lord Is Not Too Short To Save …"

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Feb 6, 2018

God is able to do anything for us; It is our sins that separate us from Him, but if we repent, His hands are not too short that He cannot save us.

This teaching is based on my understanding of Isaiah 59:1from the Spirit of God. Depending on the translation you use, the word 'Surely' may mean: Certainly; Listen; Behold; See; Look; etc. Speaking of the arm of the Lord, it is the power of God. We hear God saying to Moses in Num. 11:23 that His ...read more

Understanding The Holy Spirit As A Soul Winner

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jul 10, 2018

The Holy Spirit is a helper in all ways

Often, we Christians associate the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, but beyond that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who was there at creation, moving over the face of the deep to bring about form (Gen. 1:1-2, 26-27). He works by empowering human ...read more

Speaking In Tongues

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jul 10, 2018

Speaking in tongues is an integral part of a Christian's life.

Speaking in tongues remains a controversial issue among Christians. Some believe this gift of the Holy Spirit is no longer needed and has ceased functioning while others believe speaking in tongue is needed and active in today’s Christian age. I would claim that speaking in tongue is not only the ...read more

Husbands

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jul 27, 2018

Husbands have to honor their wives if they want their prayers to be answered or their offerings to be acceptable unto the Lord

I found a scripture that could be of help to every husband and I thought I should share it with you. “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.” ...read more

God is always ready to do new things for His children

Read Isa. 43:19 God is qualified to do new things in your life: Isa. 43:14-17 reveals this. He is the Lord Who: • Is your Redeemer – vs. 14 • is the Holy One • is your Creator and King – vs. 15 • makes a way in the seas and a path in the mighty waters – vs. 16 • has delivered you from all your ...read more

Book Of Remembrance

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jul 30, 2018

When God opens a book of remembrance for His own, all things begin to work together for their good. Haman meant evil for Mordecai but it worked together for Mordecai because a book of remembrance had already been opened unto him

Scripture: Esther 6:1-end Usually when we think of a king, we think of wealth, power, decorations, big edifice, authority, glamour, etc., but God has it such that in the life a king there is everything else. In fact, there is bad dream or sleepless night – as in the case of this king in Esther ...read more

Manipulation

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020

Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits. "Psychological ...read more

Power Without God Is Useless

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Characters in the story: • God • Israelites (God’s Children) • Jabin (Canaanite King) • Sisera (Canaanite Chief Army Officer) • Barak (Israelite ...read more

Your life is precious and should be spent right. Any misuse of one's time leads to a tragedy

The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021

This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more

Dancing With The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Nov 14, 2020

By God's grace I want to present the incident that happened between Jonah and God as a dance of two friends.

Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more

The Kingdom Of Heaven Revealed

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Nov 29, 2020

To God be the glory for the love of Jesus Christ towards mankind. This love is shown throughout the thirteenth chapter of St. Matthew which Jesus devoted entirely to using our everyday experiences, vocations and imagery to teach us what we need to know about the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus is a great teacher who always seeks to have His children understand His teachings, though some of the teachings are presented in parable forms, yet He asks those who are close to Him whether they understand what He is communicating ("Have you understood all these things?" - Matt. ...read more
