The Power Of Negative Thinking

Building Against Opposition Series

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Mar 6, 2021

Just as Nehemiah was giving the call to build the walls of Jerusalem, each of you also have a calling. But know that it is easier to quit than to commit. Do not listen to the words and criticism of your opposition and focus on the word of God.

Building Against Opposition Nevertheless, we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. - Nehemiah 4:9 It is not about how you start your work.

God Is Not Mocked. What Does It Really Mean?

Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jun 22, 2021

Most believe God is not mocked is primarily speaking to non-believers, who choose not to listen to God's will. However, there is more to God is not mocked that really speaks to us believers than we realize.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. To mock someone is to disrespect, dishonor, or ...read more

"Finding God's Strength"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 22, 2015

Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

The Sacrifice Of Fools

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 4, 2017

Eccl 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. What is the sacrifice of fools?

THE SACRIFICE OF FOOLS Ecclesiastes 5:1 Christians have nearly abandoned the word "fool," and replaced it with various synonyms. The reason is found in Matthew 5:22, where Jesus says, "...whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the hell of ...read more

Contributed by Dr John Singarayar Svd on Jul 1, 2020

Now a days, we grow up in the post-truth world listening to the manufactured lies, reading the systematic propaganda of fake news, and proclaiming the same with the help of high profile people in society to achieve their own purpose.

Make Amends Now

Contributed by Bala Samson on Nov 6, 2021

Have you watched some people say sorry reluctantly, never ready to accept their faults, but here we have a lesson to learn from a king who does not know the true God, anybody listening?

Make amends now…. Genesis 20:14”Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored his wife Sarah to him.” The response of pagan king Abimelech is praise-worthy and deserves our claps, when reprimanded him for taking Sarah, wife of Abraham, he ...read more

The Sacrifices God Is Pleased With Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

It is “through Jesus” that your sacrifices can be acceptable. Anything short of that is totally unacceptable. The only person God told that he is pleased with was Jesus. When a man does not listen to Jesus, such a man cannot please God.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased. (NIV) Hebrews 13:15-16 Quite a lot to identify in this scripture. 1. The ...read more

The Hedge Of Protection

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

Solomon is considered to be one of, if not the smartest man who ever walked on this earth. When a man like this gives advice, it might be smart for us to listen to him. In this verse of scripture he reveals two things:

(1) He talks about how traps that people set for each other often trap those who set them. Illus: Have you ever set a rat trap and had it snap and catch your finger?
