Dearly Beloved,

YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation" (Matthew 26:41 NIV).

I seldom watch movies these days because of my busy schedules. However, I watched one recently that keeps me thinking. It has to do with a powerful man who fell into the hands of mere men and women because he was not watchful. In spite of the fact that the Yoruba movie is one of those secular movies acted with no religious connotation, its music…

Israel's Saturday Sabbath-Keeping

And The Christian Sabbath-Rest

Keeping the Saturday Sabbath was part of the Law of Moses. It was a day of rest for the people of Israel; a day in which they worshipped God and did no work. In Col. 2:13-17, we are told that the written regulations of the…

THANKSGIVING TO GOD

THE BIBLE SAYS IN, 1 THESSALONIANS 5: 18, “ IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS: FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU.”

THIS VERSE CONFRONTED ME MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THREATHENED TO MAKE SHIP-WRECK OF MY FAITH IN GOD. 

I WAS PRAYING ABOUT IT FOR SOMETIME AND I WAS EXAMINING MYSELF FROM TIME TO TIME TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO BLOCK FROM MY SIDE SO GOD COULD ANSWER ME, BUT,  NO ANSWER…

Dearly Beloved,

WHY THANKSGIVING?

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night" (Psalm 92:1-2 NKJV).

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has officially been an annual tradition since 1863, when, during the US Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of…

Everybody is busy now making plans, setting goals about his/her life, ministry and work how to improve on life and achieve the set goals for next year 2013. That is good, beautiful and lovely. But “WHAT IS YOUR PLAN ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE LORD”? I pray that as we make plans for our lives and work we will not forget about the return of the Lord. The signs of His are everywhere.His is coming soon. Rev 22:12,20

Dearly Beloved,

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING

"My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long" (Psalm 35:28 NIV).

Charles Wesley is known as the co-founder (with his brother, John Wesley) of the Methodist Church, however, he is more known for his hymns. He is the author of some 6,000 hymns which after more than 200 years are showing no sign of losing their appeal. One of his hymns is titled "O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING." He wrote this…

Lord Jesus Christ we ask for spiritual, mental, physical and emotional healing for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and soul,…

Robert requested a devotional book. I sent him a pocket New Testament. In frustration he made a second request, “Don’t send me that stuff. Just send me a devotion book.” In response I sent him a Bible. I heard nothing back …

Tony was on death row awaiting execution. Tony had been back and forth several times to the death chamber. Each of the previous times the execution had been stayed. In his last appeal Tony stood before the audience in a suit and presented his case. This time it…

Sunday Christians

Many believers have very little to do with God outside of their time in church on Sunday morning. Very few churchgoers seem to have a good understanding of scripture and, in fact, not many even take their Bible to church so the preacher can tell them almost anything and they will nod their heads. After the service, it is often…

The only true FREEDOM we have is freedom from sin through Jesus Christ our Lord - please read my short devotion - thanks!

The Jezebel spirit releases witchcraft against your mind and emotions. The purpose of the witchcraft is to wear you down little by little in an effort to control your life. Witchcraft is one of the demon spirits in Jezebel’s network.

When you first meet Jezebel she is kind, flattering, and ministered to something inside you. She solved problems, came up with ideas and…

Dearly Beloved,

THE HUNDREDTH PSALM

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations" (Psalm 100…

Intercessory Prayer - What is it?

Intercessory prayer is prayer for others. An intercessor is one who takes the place of another or pleads another's case. One study Bible defines intercession as "holy, believing, persevering prayer whereby someone pleads with God on behalf of another or others who desperately need God's intervention."

We arrived at an airport in Scotland and boarded a shuttle to the hotel about five minutes away. Bags in hand we checked in with the attendant at the front desk and asked for directions to our rooms. The young woman replied, "Take a right and go down the hallway to the left. To our frustration, at the end of the hall was a sports bar on the right and locked double doors on the left. One of our party went back to confirm the directions --…

My grandfather must have been a wonderful man. He died when I was two years old, so obviously I never knew him. While growing up I heard stories about how he came to America; was involved in politics; was a police officer and a professional wrestler. There was even a story about grandpa changing the family name because the newspaper continually misspelled it in articles about his wrestling. After a while, I began to feel as if I really did know him. I couldn't,…

We walked the way of Paul to the top of the hill. A guide brought us through a short, narrow entrance. The walls of the path at times touched our front and back at the same time as the ceiling brushed our hair. Areas of the wall were layers of graves bearing names of those who gave their life in defending the faith.



As we traveled deeper the light from the entrance gave way to the hand held touch ahead of us. Bending, stooping, deeper into the mountain the cooler temperature wa…

I stood riveted at the edge of the Canyon. I remember the deep breath I took as I was overcome by its vastness. My eyes were on overdrive trying to take in the array of colors. Then something happened. My senses seemed to shut down and disappointment set in. What was I looking at? I knew it was deep, everyone said it was, but I had no depth perception. I tried to throw a pebble over the edge to give some understanding, but it…
