    When you uncover the things that people are passionate about… and see the things that they ‘willingly’ give their – time, energy, resources and efforts too, you will learn a lot about that person. Same is true of Jesus.

    Vanity

    The soul is the hallmark of man's existence. Therefore, effort must be geared towards things that will nourish and enrich the soul. Unfortunately, what we seek today are the things that glorify the flesh to the detriment of our soul.

    "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 The above passage of the scriptures makes us understand that the whole essence of man is centred on the soul. No wonder the book of Genesis told us that man became a living soul when God breathed ...read more

     | 3,956 views

    Jesus addressed the grave disappointment some will encounter as they stand before Him, seeking to gain entrance into His kingdom. These were certainly sincere in their efforts, but they were not found worthy to gain access to the kingdom.

    Absolute Certainty or Mere Sincerity? Matthew 7: 21-23 As we continue to study the Sermon on the Mount, we come to the portion of the message where Jesus addressed the grave disappointment some will encounter as they stand before Him, seeking to gain entrance into His kingdom.

    based on 1 rating
     | 803 views

    A divine opening is a supernatural opportunity orchestrated by God to grant access, breakthrough, or fulfilment of His promises. It signifies a door opened by God's power that cannot be hindered or shut by human effort.

    Title: DIVINE OPENING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 3:8 “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” Supporting Texts: Isaiah 22:22; 1 Corinthians 16:9; John 10:9; Acts 16:26; Psalm 24:7 INTRODUCTION: A divine opening is a supernatural ...read more

    The Sign Of Jonah (Matthew 12:38-42)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2025
     | 352 views

    The Pharisees kept clamoring for a sign that Jesus was the Promised Messiah. Jesus in turn saw this request as a waste of time and effort. Nothing He would do or say would ever make them believe.

    Beginning in Matthew 12:38-42, we read that the Pharisees won’t leave Jesus alone. Now they wanted to see a “sign from heaven” that would provide visual evidence of His Divinity. Consider what has happened so far in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. These same religious leaders had seen the ...read more

    Building Stronger Marriages By Pst. Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on May 2, 2024
     | 635 views

    But building a strong marriage is not always easy. It requires effort, commitment, and sacrifice. It requires a willingness to put the needs of our spouse above our own, to love them unconditionally, and to forgive them freely.

    Building Stronger Marriages Today I want to talk to you about the importance of building stronger marriages—marriages that are rooted in love, strengthened by faith, and sustained by the grace of God. In the book of Genesis, chapter 2, verse 24, we find these words: "Therefore a man shall ...read more

    His Presence Or Presents?

     | 11,760 views

    During Christmas season we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise. So, what would Christmas be like if we truly celebrated God’s presence?

    Opening illustration: Oswald Chambers once wrote: “It is not God’s promises we need, it is [God] Himself.” At Christmastime we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise. In certain parts of ...read more

    Looking In God's Mirror

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jul 27, 2021
     | 5,326 views

    James compares the Word of God to a mirror because you look into a mirror to be able to see yourself in effort to make changes to your appearance. Looking in the Holy Scriptures is like looking in a mirror. It reveals to us as God sees what’s in us.

    James 1:22-24 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ...read more

    If you are to rise up to become all that you can be and all that you are in Christ, recognizing who you are as being the peculiar people is just the beginning. You need to allow that revelation to lead you to consecration. And in consecration you make effort to grow in personal holiness.

    The Peculiar People A Calling to Recognize your Identity and Purpose "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: " (1Pe 2:9) The same apostle who ...read more
