Job 3:25-26 Fear is one of the most dangerous weapon the devil uses to attack the children of the MOST HIGH GOD. Fear can destroy one's destiny, business, relationship, marriage etc. if one don't overcome it on time. Fear is the mother of insecurity and in the realms of the spirit, a man without security is a man without Armour and shield in a battle field. Fear can make you restless, suspicious and always jumpy around people, it makes you irrational in decision making, it makes people look down on you and treat you with laxity. Fear can make you lose out in a lot of things and cause you to live a purposeless life. It is fear that makes most of us today visit fake prophets and swindlers who prophe-lie to us and rip us off. Job said, ''what he feared the most befell him''. If you study the life of Job, he was extremely restless due to the fear of losing everything, and when the devil wanted to attack him, he attacked Job via his weakness; his fears. ...

Job 1:4-5,8,10,12 [4]And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. [5]And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. [8]And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? [10]Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. [12]And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So...

Daniel 3:12-30 Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego in the midst of their challenges, stood their grounds and were not moved even when they were told of the consequences of their actions, they did not only win in the end, their faith in GOD brought the entire Babylon to not only acknowledge the power and existence of GOD, it also gave them divine upliftment and promotion in a strange land… HALLELUYAH!!! Acts 16:22-35 Paul and Silas in the midst of their challenges held on to GOD and were not only freed, the awesome power of GOD caused them to lead the prison warder and his entire family to CHRIST JESUS… HALLELUYAH!!! Holding unto GOD in the midst of our challenges most times may seem foolish and not the best decision for us, but it is the best decision regardless of what our challenges are… Praise the LORD of HOST! Holding onto GOD during our trying times may just be what we need at that particular time or period to overcome some insurmountable problems in our...

Esther 2:15-17   Esther was a no body and the niece of an Israelite living in a foreign land, but obedience brought her before King Ahasuerus and even made her head Queen who took over the position of a disobedient queen and wife (Queen Vashti)…Praise the LORD of HOST! Esther only followed the instructions of the King’s Chamberlain Hegai, who was also instructor to the other ladies waiting upon the King.  In the midst of plenty, when she would have lived like she pleased, she disciplined herself to listen to the chamberlain and got favoured and GOD crowned her Queen, wife of the most powerful king all over India and Ethiopia. This is a great lesson for us all, most of us today find it hard to obey instructions, we prefer to live as we please just like queen Vashti, who lost all she had due to her disobedience while Queen Esther gained everything and took over her position because she was obedient and followed instructions to the letter. Let us lear...

Let us note two reasons why it is very important for us to repent as believers and children of the MOST HIGH GOD! When we don’t repent, we worship ourselves ( Exodus 20:2-3 ): As we proclaim CHRIST and live in such a way that we desire including continuing to sin, not only are we lying to others about what the Bible says, but we are lying to ourselves that GOD knows better. We are leading people down a dangerous path and continuing to be stumbling blocks. We are in essence slapping GOD in the face, saying, thanks for YOUR forgiveness, but I will take it from here. GOD will not tolerate this from us, especially those of us who have long been in the faith. When we repent, we worship God ( Revelation 19:6-7 ): As we proclaim what Christ has done for us on the cross, we believe HIS Word and that sin is not worth it. We grow in our walk and work with the LORD and the continued removal of sin from our lives. In these moments, we are truly living as new creations and the old v...

There are so many reasons why we should repent as humans, reasons why should live a life without blemish, but due to long text alert, I will give us few reasons and then discuss the importance in our next series, praise the LORD of HOST! We repent so we can make heaven and see GOD's Kingdom: Repentance blots out our names from the book of death and imprints it in the book of life. As sinners, we sin and lost our privilege of eternity with Christ JESUS in heaven. John 3:3 . Living in GOD's Glory here on earth and after: Repentance brings down GOD's Glory into our lives.  It helps us enjoy the benefits of HIS reign here on earth before we pass on to eternity. When we sin, we fall short of HIS Glory Romans 3:23 . Remember how man fell short of GOD's glory in the beginning and was driven from the Garden of Eden into a world of suffering and hardship Genesis 3:22-24 . The Garden of Eden is an example of GOD's Glory here on Earth for us all. The first ...
