Golden vs Willing Vessels

Golden vs Willing Vessels  The Lord seeks willing vessels who will obey and execute His commands all the days of their lives. Not the perfect. Not the qualified Not the golden He qualifies the called, makes perfect the imperfect and turns the earthen vessel to golden vessels - day by day as they walk under the shadow of His presence. Prayer: Lord, I consciously & deliberately surrender my life to You, make me whatever You desire of me in Jesus name

Understanding Your Mandate: Know Your Place in Christ

It was my wedding night. I was so tired, I needed a bath and a rest.  We had danced so much my back was aching.  My husband was beginning to have funny ideas. He was beaming like a new born baby. Well, I wouldn't  blame him; any man in his position would not joke with this night because I was a warrior during our courtship". No... no hugging, no pecking, no holding, no touching, no tapping current, no weather for two,  Sexual purity till my marriage was top on my list. The Knock came. I was thinking, half past eleven (11:30pm). Is that room service, I wondered. Then, with eyes popping. I heard my mother in-law's iron like voice: "Tise, Micheal, open the door". Micheal jumped up from the bed, rushed to the door and opened it  for his mum. My Mother in-law walked in, sat down majestically and asked us to sit down too. "Tise, I don't know if anyone ever told you? There is a curse on my husband's family line. The men in their family don't prosp...

Strong Habits Start Small

Dear Saint, I have come to realize that many people fail in the Christian life because we want to go to bed in Egypt and wake up in Canaan; become converted in the morning and become a patriarch by noon. But it is not so. God created time and allows it to process us into maturity - through trials, temptations, from little steps to great strides, from feeding on spiritual milk to eating meat, from a new convert to a great witness of the Kingdom. So, start small and grow. Start each day with the study of verses/chapters of scriptures, with at least 30minutes of prayers and intercessions; then grow to the level of finishing chapters and books of the Bible, to spending hours in the place of prayers.           If thy children have sinned against him,           and he have cast them away for their                   transgression; Though thy beginning was        ...

Set Sexual Boundaries

SET SEXUAL BOUNDARIES - A message For all Christians,  Pastors, Shepherds,  Deacons, Deaconesses, Elders, Dep'tal leaders, Music Ministers, Church  members. “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I entertain thoughts against a virgin ? (Job 31:1, NET BIBLE') Sexual immorality is on the increase all over the world. Adultery is fast becoming the norm and men of God are also joining the club. Married women are not left out, many are having secret lovers and emotional affairs are becoming the order of the day. The rate at which immorality is increasing is alarming! It is spreading fast into every nook and cranny and children are also being initiated into the club. It's no news that 4, 5 years old kids now have sex with each other. Staying sexually pure these days is becoming a Herculean task. One of the reasons people fall flat into illicit sex is over confidence. The stupid belief that you can be free around the opposite sex and nothing would happen! A...
