    The Analysis Of Confusion

    Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 7, 2004
    based on 95 ratings
     | 43,844 views

    God does not sustain what He has not ordained so all the lack of intimacy with God is a symptom of confusion.

    There is a powerful spirit known as the spirit of confusion, and because it is sometimes neglected and nobody prays seriously against it, gives room to have many confused women and men in the market square of life. Some just find themselves in the world, with no good idea of what they come to do. ...read more

    God is looking for heroes! The world is looking for heroes! A few years ago, there was a story of a church in one of the communist countries. That church, secretly hiding from their atheist government, was one day visited by soldiers armed with machine guns. The soldiers asked everyone who will ...read more

    God loves us and wants to give us good gifts, but He is restrained by our lack of obedience and service.

    WHY GOD DOES NOT ANSWER PRAYER. ILLUSTRATION There were two widow women, each with only a single son. The two young men both got involved in drugs and they both ended up in prison. The women were devout Christians and both had been in constant prayer for many years. When their two boys were sent ...read more

    Do You Have Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 26, 2022
     | 809 views

    Vision is both a physical necessity and a spiritual necessity. Lacking either one can be detrimental in our well being.

    In this verse, the prophets’ revelation is referred to as a vision. Crime and sin thrive in places where people are ignorant of God. Public morality is dependent not only on knowing about God but also on adhering to God’s laws. People must know God’s ways and follow His rules for both nations and ...read more

     | 6,373 views

    Discover two gems helpful to balancing ministry and money in this short sermon aimed to help church leaders stay faithful not fearful.

    Pastoring in America means dealing with the dollar. It’s what we have to come to grips with in a culture where “church” has largely become a business. In fact, some shepherds tragically view Washingtons and Lincolns just as necessary, if not more, than the Holy Spirit, people, or the Bible. Which ...read more

    Ambassador In Chains

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 8, 2025
     | 127 views

    True strength isn’t power or control, but courage — the boldness to speak Christ’s truth even in chains.

    Good MORNING. Paul’s description of himself as an ambassador in chains led me to one of history’s most underrated stories, so let’s start there. It was a long time ago, the year 1219. Everyone was dirty back then. It was the middle of the 5th crusade, a great war between Europe and Islam, and a ...read more
