 Many unbeliever, atheist and muslim had argued that Jesus never called himself God in the bible, I saw a video that one muslim sheikh made an open challenge that if anyone can point out where Jesus called himself God in the new testament he would become a Christian, This pushed me to dig deep to the word of Jesus to affirm what Jesus said about himself. Jesus was to these people as a nice guy and a great teacher and also a messenger of God like others. Let us delve into history this God we are talking about is the God of the Hebrew, this English Bible in our hand is translated from the Aramaic, so the name God was a Greek name used to called this God of the Israelites.In Judaism they believe there are certain names of God which written must not be erased. The Israelites called Him " YHWH" which we pronounced as "YAHWEH" after the Babylonian exile in 6th century BCE, the Jews ceased to use the name of Yahweh for two reasons. 1. Because, Judaism became a univ...

Christmas is a time of spiritual reflection on the important foundation of the Christian faith.It is a time when Christian celebrate God's love for the world through the birth of the child Jesus. It is all about God sending His son into the world as part of his plan to bring salvation to people everywhere. In my few years on earth I have encountered a number of Christians who argue that Christian should not celebrate Christmas because they believe history has it that Christmas stem from both pagan and Roman cultures.Though the Roman actually celebrated two holidays in the month of December, saturnalia,the god of agriculture and the birth of Mithra, the sun god which is celebrated on December 25th. The actual birth day of Jesus Christ is not known. If December 25th is pagan date but now converted to the celebration of Jesus Christ, does it matter? I don't believe so,how it originally came into Christian celebrations is immaterial, what matters is what we do with them now. I...

WHAT DOES THE LAW   MEANS? It simply means the whole system of rules that everyone in a society must obey.The world is governed by various laws emanating from God,it may not be known to some people because it is written in proverbs 25:2 " it is the glory of God to conceal a thing,but the honour of kings is to search out a matter" .God delights to conceal things, scientists delights in discovering things, most of what scientist are discovering are what God has concealed.God work on principles and whosoever understand it, nothing can stop such a person in life. One of these principles which has always proven true in every generation since man has been created is the law of perseverance . The law of perseverance simply means the quality of continuing to try to achieve a particular aim in spite of difficulties. We live in a culture of impatience and easy quilting.we are in a generation of an instant things and quick gratification, most people want what they want now now ...

  Our God is a  working  God, after he rested on the 7th day of creation He has not stopped  working  on what he has created. How do I know,let us go on memory lanes:                                •1 He  worked  on Abraham for a nation.                                             •2 He  worked  in Egypt to  show his supremacy over all powers  • 3 He worked to preserved Moses to lead his people out of slavery.             • 4 He  worked  on Joshua to complete his plan for Israel          • 5 He worked on Noah to preserved the work of his hand  • 6 He  worked  on Mary to fulfil his plan for man"s salvation.           God is not l...

Revelations and vision from God brings man to a better understanding of how to live a victorious life on the earth.My standing to this moment and my holding on to God so as not to be derailed despites of evey odds is because of the vision God gave unto me in a dream as a warning even before I come to the understanding that I have a call. I will like to share this revelation and vision again with you so you too can guide your life against the subtlness of the devil. In Genesis 3:1 ( Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the lord God had made). Satan never came to Eve in the form of the picture that were painted of satan, of having two horns on his head, a tail and wings, if he had come in such a way, Eve would not have entertained any conversation with him,he came subtle  and had a robust conversations with her that allienate man from God given glory. John 10:10 ( The thief cometh not, but for to steal,and to kill, and to destroy) and John 8:44 (...

 The purpose of God for all men is to operate like a flowing river which is unstoppable.The general concept about a water is that water will always find its level. WHAT IS A RIVER? River is a body of water with current moving in one general direction.They can vary in size with a smaller version. In John 4 & 14 , Jesus called himself a living water , those that will be saved by God will be led to the living fountain of water . With this it is essential we study the character of water Rivers will always look for a way around an obstruction to get to the ocean,its final destination. PARTS OF A RIVER 1.UPPER COURSE : This is very small,it start off as a stream and very narrow and shallow. WHY ? Because of the low amount of water , there is no much discharge,but very large rocks, making yhe bed very hard and very rough. Job. 8:7 ( though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase). Zechariah 4:10 ( for who hath despised the day of small th...

The word of God is a law and an  instruction on how to overcome excuses and achieve success in life. God instruction to Joshua on how to achieve good success in life and never give in to excuses in Joshua 1:8 is ( this book of the law shall not depart of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success).

 There so many things seeking our attention on earth but there is one great thing we must get hold on.This world is not a playing ground but a school of training. It is not a place of enjoying holiday pleasure, it is a place to be educated, we are all students in the world because we gain new knowledge everyday as we open up ourselves and become teachable.You can only grow by giving yourself open to new ideas. What we were told or assumed as the greatest thing in life to run after are things that does not last.They are: money, fame,friends, family, property, profession,beauty,etc.All these are good to have but they don't last forever. No one can tell us with authority what is the greatest thing on earth than God who created us.

REASONS MEN ARE NOT DOMINATING 1. Not knowing who you are 2.Negative attitude, which we may have  acquired through the following: * what we look on constantly. * What we hear * What we have learnt * What or type of people we interact with. If you don't like what you are now change your attitude. 3.Our vision/ dream: you can never be greater than your vision/,dream in life. 4.Laziness 5.Lack of perseverance 6.Lack of cooperation with, God,with self, with people, 7.Prayerlesness 8.Lack of fighting spirit.

 There is currency for life that if you get hold on , you will live a fulfilling life on earth.Most people thought the greatest currency bestowed on mankind is money, money is not bad, it is good if we understand its actual position in life. God is not against you having money because it come from him and it belongs to him, the rat race on acquiring money as the greatest currency has brought in wickedness upon the surface of the earth and if care is not taken money can take the position of God in the life of a man. We all know that there are two kingdoms fighting to have dominion on man, light and darkness, in other word God and Satan.Anyone you love most will control your life Matthew 6:24 ( no man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other,ye cannot serve God and mammon), surprisingly Jesus never said God and Satan rather God and mammon,Jesus said you can't be slave of God and money.Money ...

 All men are looking for true happiness , and we are all searching for it at every angle but to be wise we learn from the mistakes of those who have gone ahead of us because great men gathered information from the experience of others.King Solomon the great wise king wrote in Ecclassiasstes 1:1-11, he lamented of his folly and mistakes in thinking he could find joy and true happiness in things. Solomon has a great wisdom, he has great wealth, he has 700 wives and 300 concubines and never have true happiness , he discovered lately that all is vanity. The question you be asking is that why should God allow him to go such way. The fact that God allow a thing does not mean he approve of it.one thing about God is that he will never force anything on you but will live man to his own personal choice.Because Solomon disobey God, his kingdom was taken away from him and given to his servant. 1 King 11:11 ( wherefore the lord said unto Solomon, foreas much this is done of thee, and thou h...

 Everyone on earth is destined for a purpose but not everyone will fulfil all that God has destined them for. WHY ? * Because of lack of awareness, not many people know or understand that they were here on earth for a purpose. * Some are ignorant and would neglect their God given purpose * Some will embarked on it and failed because they could not persevere. For you to be what God has ordained you to be required a Process and preparation. WHY ?

The main reason  Many people are weeping and  full of anxiety is that they don't understand the way of God.Most  Of the time we are crying over what God has already done because we are yet to see physical  manifestation. Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 54:1 says (sing,O barren woman, you who never bore a child, burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labour, because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband), NIV . He said sing o you barren.  DO YOU KNOW THAT *Any one who is called barren has lost any hope  of Fruitfulness and always living a life of anxiety * She has nothing to make her happy that warrant singing. *She has no hope for security *She believes that all her labour is for another person because no heirs. . But God said in the midst of this lack of hope, anxiety and negative opinions of men  towards the barrel,God ask her to sing and overcome anxiety and will recover Why? *God knows that ...
