Here it is, “Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.” (Romans 4:19, NIV). Friend, when Abraham received God’s promise that he and Sarah would have a son, all the circumstances around him said, “Your body is dead, and so is Sarah’s womb. There’s no way. It’s never happened before.” But here’s the key: He wasn’t moved by…
*1.* “For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.” *2* “Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.” *3* “It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake.” *4* “To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear…
God, who can overrule people and circumstances, cannot keep you from what He has purposed for you. God is the doorkeeper of your life. God will take you through or over, or around whatever stands in your way. Amen in Jesus’ Name. You keep honouring God, being at your best for His glory at all times, and He will get you to where you need to be. Trust His timing. Don’t be impatient because a door hasn’t opened yet. God…
Have you not heard that God is certainly your Doorkeeper? Here it is: “For by You I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.” (Psalm 18:29, AMPC). Door keeping is all about through, over, or around. Yes, through and over, or around. Friend, people can’t lock you out of your future. God is your doorkeeper—not your boss, not your banker, not your neighbour, not your critics, not your enemies. They may shut…
*1.* “And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.” *2* “Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.” *3* “And God blessed them. And God said to them,…
One could ask at what point in the life of a fisherman he could get things wrong going fishing? Or, can a fisher go wrong for going fishing? In John 21:3, “I am going fishing:” Some believe that Peter was wrong to go fishing, and that this was a compromised return to a former occupation. Others believe Peter disobeyed no command of Jesus and was simply sensible and pragmatic. Only the disposition of Peter’s heart could determine if he was…
One could ask several questions on why the Scripture could opt for unnamed individuals in their relationship with Christ Jesus! Is it about the fame or the impact? In John 21:3, “And two others of His disciples:” Yes, there were ‘two others’, and they are unidentified! Why unnamed though consciously in my assertion. They represent the anonymous and hidden multitudes of faithful souls whose names are never published in human documents and whose deeds are never reported in human reports….
*1.* “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” *2* “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” *3* “And how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for…
Yes, you and I need divine guidance for daily living in terms of directives and supplies! Elijah received collections extraordinary from the raven, the widow, and an Angel at God’s commands (1 Kings 17). Friend, open heavens come through your receiving of divine guidance! Yes, you have skills, you got talents, and you are an expert in what you do! It would help if you had divine guidance as well. Here it is: Cast the net on the right side…
C.H. Spurgeon once said, “To be a fisherman, a man must expect disappointments; he must often cast in the net and bring up nothing but weeds.” Yes, these fishermen, the minister of Christ, must reckon upon being disappointed. They must not be weary in well-doing for all their disappointments but must in faith, continue in prayer and labour, expecting that at the end, they shall receive the reward. Here it is, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is…
