Arise And Contend In Battle

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Sep 21, 2021

God is calling on soldiers of Christ to arise and use the weapon of prayer, to contend in battle in the place of prayer so we, our families, the church of God and our nation can be delivered from every evil work.

Introduction Arise and contend in battle is not a suggestion, an advice or a plea. It is an order. An order that can only come from a Commander-in-Chief or head of an army. Indeed God is our Commander in Chief who based on Deuteronomy 2:24, has issued an order to us to arise and contend in battle. ...read more

Gog And Magog: God's War On Israel's Enemies (Ezekiel 38-39)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 13, 2024

Ezekiel 38-39 contains one of the greatest prophecies in the Bible, describing a massive invasion of Israel in the "latter years" by a great confederation of nations. The aftermath will show that God Almighty is the protector of HIs people.

In reading the account of the coming Gog-Magog War in Ezekiel 38-39, we need to ask some relevant questions on how everything comes to pass. First, who are the invaders of Israel mentioned in the prophecy? We read about ten proper names in Chapter 38:1-6 that help us identify the invading ...read more

Standing Steadfast In Righteousness

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 25, 2024

We are about to embark upon a great privilege given us by God Almighty, an offering of participation in the future of our lives; whether to abide in the guidance of God Almighty or to be left to the abominations of the king–nation’s leader.

We have heard it said that we must obey the powers of earth; kings, rulers, laws, etc. for they have been ordained by God. Romans 13:1. 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Is this an absolute command? Are we ...read more

Be Loving To All Minorities Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Some pick and choose whom they feel is worthy of fellowship; basing their judgments on a person’s skin color, nationality, or gender. Jesus, however, was careful to give everyone a chance to believe in Him, no matter what their background.

The apostle Paul once said that “there is no partiality with God” (Romans 2:11); and he also declared, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28). James admonished, “My brethren, do not hold ...read more

Sermon # 12 - Building Beautiful Families Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 2, 2024

Beautiful godly families are the foundations for a godly church, society and nation. If we can follow God’s principles as taught in His word, our families will be happy places and a great blessing to those around us.

We read in Numbers 24:5, “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, and the places where you live, Israel.” (GW) These are the words that were declared by the Prophet Balaam as he beheld the people of Israel from the top of a mountain. We studied that every one of these words that were spoken by Balaam ...read more

The Gospel: Shown By Allegory Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 20, 2015

Galatians 4:21-31 is unique. It is the only place in the New Testament to use allegory from the Old Testament. These events are recorded in Geneses 15-21. When Abraham was seventy five years old God promised him he would be the father of a great nation.

One of the most widely read and influential books of all time was written from a jail cell by a Baptist minister. He was in England, in jail for twelve years for preaching without a license when he wrote it. The title of the book is Pilgrims Progress and the author is John Bunyan. There are ...read more

Universal Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Can a pagan glorify the God of the Bible? If he becomes a believer, he certainly can. This invitation of Psa. 117 is authentic when it says whosoever will may come, and praise the God who is the God of all peoples.

If you think Psalm 117 is a short chapter, you are right, for it is the shortest in all the Bible. But it is twice as long in English as it is in the original Hebrew. It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

The Power Of The Tongue Series

Contributed by Tim George on Jul 13, 2001

James reminds us that our words can be the most powerful force known to man. Words can set the course of individuals and nations. Consider what God has to say to us about the way we speak.

“For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, ...read more
