     | 738 views

    Gideon’s journey from fear to faith demonstrates how God works through weakness. He was reluctant at first, but through God’s power, he became a great leader. His story challenges us to trust God completely, even when we feel inadequate.

     | 643 views

    Jephthah was a man of faith and courage, but his story is overshadowed by the tragic consequences of his rash vow. His leadership brought victory to Israel, but his lack of wisdom in speech led to unnecessary sorrow.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JEPHTHAH – JUDGE WHO MADE A RASH VOW By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text:. Judges 11:30-31 "And Jephthah made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors ...read more

    Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’ The confession of David could be our desire. We would like to have these two divine blessings in our life. But we struggle to have them.

    Psalm 23:6 - “Shall follow me” Happy New month to all of you. The Lord is good and his love never ends. While I was praying for this new month’s service, these words were brought to my mind by the Holy Spirit from Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: ...read more

    Do you know that God’s plan for your salvation has never changed? You were never second best; you have always been the plan of God according to the election of grace. The Election of Grace teaches that, “He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world."

    Instead of being like King Saul, whose life ended with disappointment, we can be like King David, whose life was characterized by hope, even when death was near.

    J Sidlow Baxter’s book, Mark These Men, tells us he thinks a man plays the fool when he: Neglects his godly friends; Goes on enterprises for God before God sends him; Disobeys God; Tries to cover disobedience with religious sounding excuses; Allows jealousy or hatred to master him; Knowingly ...read more
