Study Diligently   2Tim.2.15 - Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. One of the criteria for a graduate degree is an indepth study and research which will be documented as a long essay.  This usually comes after several diligent sessions and years of thorough studies and examinations.  After which research works and seminars are expected to be done and presented in defence of your opinions and inferences on the chosen topic. In the same way, every believer is expected to do diligent study of the word to be able to present its essence and defend its message correctly against every error and manipulation of darkness.  You are supposed to be the custodian of the message, correct errors and misinterpretations by infidels,  teach the novices and disciple the nations through it.  Many believers today who are supposed to be teachers of the word are still groping around looking...

Read to Learn and observe   Deut.17.18-19  "Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites.  it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes,  God gave His instructions and guidelines for would be kings in Israel long before they got to the promised land.  God had presept and instructions for every stage and category of men especially the leaders.  One of His instructions is that novices should not be made kings or leaders. Kings should marry many wives and shouldn't accumulate wealth for themselves at the expense of their citizens.  Leaders should be readers, they should have personal copies of the Law and read daily all the days of their lives.  Anyone who can't read can't lead. Because,  ...

  Feeding on the Word  Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you." So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness. Ezek.3.1-3 God's law is food for our belly. We are meant to eat it daily, digest and allow it nourish our bodies unto maturity before we can adequately declare it to the world. For a child to grow physically, mentally and do all he needs to do as a human being, he needs to be properly nourished. What he or she is being fed with matters a lot to how his or her growth will be. The word of God is the balanced diet for the nourishment of our spiritual body. For a believer to grow and survive the rigour of spiritual journey and warfare, we need to eat the scroll, consume and digest properly.  In other word, for us ...

  God's Law is a Lamp Prov.6.23 - For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, The new testament is a testament of grace and mercy. We celebrate grace as if the dispensation of law was evil. On the contrary, the Law was never evil. It came into being in other to help humanity control themselves. The Law put checks on our attitudes and inter-relations . It helps us to channel our freedom and egos rightly. The law of God is a way shower. It is a light to illuminate the path of everyone governed by it. Where there is no Law people do whatever they like. A lawless environment is a society in darkness. A place where people do whatever they deem right. Where there is no law, there is no sin. Sin is made known by the Law.  So, Law is never evil, but a good instrument for orderliness and control. It is the system of rules that govern the behaviour of people in a society.  Before law came into place, humanity were lost in law...

 Human's or Divine Approval  Matt.3.17 - And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The hallmark of Christ's Ministerial approval was demonstrated at His baptism.  Several prophesies preceded His coming but the greatest testimony was the Father's attestation to His Sonship at His baptism. The water baptism by John and his testimony was like the last human witnessing that Jesus was the expected Messiah. But beyond all of this, seeing heaven opened on Him, and the three personalities in the Trinity manifesting at once was to establish the real identity of Christ as the Only Begotten of the Father whom we must listen to. Our focus today is about the two dimensional witnessing around the personality and nature of Christ. Of a truth, whoever is approved by God finds favour with men.  Prov.16.7 - When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Notwithstanding,  human favou...

 Having a name in Heaven  Luke.10.20 - Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." One of the major ways to immortalise any important person in the society is by naming important sites or institutions after them. This is to keep the name in remembrance for as long as the world exists. Today we have many institutions,  streets, villages, cities and even countries named after men. If the world knows how to celebrate heroes by immortalising their name among the people,  how beautiful will it be if one's name is written in heaven. Do you know,  that apart from having one's name written in the book of life, many will have streets,  gates, and pillars named after them in heaven.  The twelve tribes of Israel and the Twelve Apostles take the lead for every believer to follow.  Rev. 21:12.  The question here today is,  Has your name been written in heaven?...

He Calls His Own by Name John.10.3 - To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. Every parent identifies his or her child by name. The major reason for naming a child is for proper identification. Everything created and owned by God is distinguished by name. So the Lord Jesus as the good shepherd nurtures and relates with His sheep like a Father, to the extent that each of them has a name by which He identifies them. God relates with all His children on a personal individual level. No intermediary, we all have equal and direct access as sons and daughters to Him. Being jealously protected from every external incursions. John.10.28 - And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. The good shepherd cares for the sheep with His life. He never gives up on any of them.  He searches for the lost ones until they are restored from destruction. He won't g...
