    When Man Takes God's Glory

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 180 views

    The temptation to take God’s glory is ever present in ministry, business, or personal success. Yet the Word of God consistently warns us against this prideful act. When man takes the glory, he incurs the wrath of God, cuts off divine favour, and limits the flow of grace.

    WHEN MAN TAKES GOD'S GLORY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Acts 12:21-23 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 42:8, Daniel 4:30-37, Romans 1:21, Proverbs 16:18, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 INTRODUCTION: One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life and ministry is the subtle temptation to take credit ...read more

    Rash Promises

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 164 views

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

    Introduction – When a Vow Feels Like a Chain I once heard of a young businessman who, desperate to save his company from bankruptcy, blurted out a prayer late one night: “Lord, if You get me out of this mess, I’ll give away half of everything I own.” He never wrote it down or told anyone, but the ...read more

    You Before Yours

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 16, 2025
     | 69 views

    God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

    (God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ. Not a building. Not bricks and mortar. You and I are the church. Every part of a body matters. ...read more

    Forces That Promote Divine Lifting

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Nov 4, 2025
     | 176 views

    Divine lifting is the supernatural promotion that comes from God alone. Certain spiritual and moral forces activate this elevation when a believer aligns with God’s principles.

    FORCES THAT PROMOTE DIVINE LIFTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 75:6-7 Key Verse: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” (Psalm 75:6-7) Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy ...read more

     | 27,199 views

    After celebrating God's gracious dealings with him, the Psalmist exhorts others to put His providential care to the test, and instructs them on how to secure it. He then contrasts God's care of His people and His corrective providence towards the wicked.
