The Consciousness Of God In You
“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves” Romans 2:14
From the above scripture we see that even though God did not give the Gentiles the law, they knew what was right and what was wrong and they could differentiate between both. Why? The
consciousness of God is in every man.
Now someone may come to ask and say; “Pastor since you know you are going to get married to the person you are dating, is it a sin if you begin to sleep with...

You Are A New Creation.
“So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way any more.”
2 Corinthians 5:16(ISV)
Brothers and sisters in Christ, it is high time we stop judging ourselves according to our natural birth or surrounding circumstances. Jesus said in John15:19, “… ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18a (ALT) say,
“Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; the old [things] passed...

Know God As Father
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
In the heart of everyone, there is the search for a Father. This is because, in the heart of every man or woman, there is the desire for affirmation.
You cannot get this affirmation from anywhere else other than your heavenly Father. This is why you need to know God as Father.
Knowing God as Father will put an end to your search for affirmation. Therefore, nobody will be able to intimidate you or make you compromise your...

Your True Identity.
“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” 1 John 5:1
You can only discover who you truly are by divine revelation. When you really have a revelation of who you are in Christ, with an inward certainty of the Biblical fact that God is working in you, you will never be afraid.
Most Christians are not looking within to the Word of God to know who they are in Christ. According to the scriptures, we are sons of God now (See 1 John 3:2). 1 John 4:4(ISV)...
Jesus Is The Way
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
From our opening scripture, we see the Lord Jesus saying to us that He is the way. He did not say, I am a way. No, He used a definite article saying, “I am the way”. He was certain of the truth of what He was saying. That means if you want to get to the Father, there is no other way outside of Jesus.
I remember someone said to me many years ago that it is either Jesus is really the Son of God or He was insane. Then he said he would...
God Is Your Father
“For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.”
John 5:18(BBE)
Jesus had no identity crisis because He knew who He was. He knew that God was His Father. This is one of the reasons for the extraordinary feats accomplished through His life. He was always conscious of the Fatherhood of God and was always conscious of His Sonship.
He did not look to outward manifestations to convince Himself that He was the Son...

Knowing The Father
“And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God, And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.”
John 17:3(MSG)
A lot of people do not know who the Father is because they do not know Jesus. As a result, most times they are scared whenever they want to ask the Father for anything.
There are lots of sinners who would have been born again today, but they are scared to come to the Father because nobody showed them...

Go For Knowledge
“They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness …”
Psalm 82:5
Satan's greatest threat is your knowledge of the Word of God. To be ignorant is to be vulnerable. Ignorance is darkness and knowledge is light. If satan is the prince of darkness and ignorance is darkness, it means satan rules over the ignorant.
Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee …” This means that satan's greatest weapon over you is your ignorance.
According to...

Greater Glory
“But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.”
2 Corinthians 3:7-9
According to our opening scripture, if the ministration of death in the Old Testament was glorious, how much more shall...

The Rebirth
“Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; the old [things] passed away, look!, all [things] have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17(ALT)
Our opening scripture shows us the revelation of the New Birth. It is the actual rebirth of the human spirit. We become new creatures without a past, because the old has passed away and all things have become new.
1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” So, being born again is being...

Abide in the truth
“Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD God had made… The snake replied, "That's not true; you will not die. God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad." Genesis 3:1, 4-5(GNB)
I want you to know that it was satan who spoke through the snake to the woman in our opening scripture. We know this because satan is always rebellious against the Word of God. He loves to question the integrity of the Word of God, and by so doing, corrupt the heart of his prey with doubt...

Grow up spiritually.
“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;”
Galatians 4:1
From today's opening scripture, we see that if the heir to an inheritance is a child, he is not different from a servant. The word 'child' is from the Greek word 'nepios.' This implies; “one that is an infant or an immature Christian who is untaught in the Word of God.” So, as long as you remain a spiritual infant who is untaught in the Word of God, you are not different from a servant.
Notice the clause...

Get Your Heart Right
"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
Proverbs 4:20-22
Speaking the right words will cause God's life to dominate you, and keep you in health. This is why God shows us how to maintain such quality of life in Proverbs 4:23 which says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." The Good News Bible renders it this way, "Be careful how...

Born For Excellence
“The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor …” Proverbs 12:26
In view of our opening scripture, as a child of God, you must understand that when you got born again, you received an excellent mind because of the life of God which you received.
The Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Becoming a Christian enlightens your mind. It makes you sound. As a result, every seed that comes out of your union with your wife is blessed and empowered to be excellent....

Enlightenment For Creativity
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4
Without the life that comes from Christ, men have no light. So true enlightenment comes when an individual receives the life of God.
I remember a study done many years ago, in the early 1930's and 1940's,. The study spanned all the way to the 1800's, and discovered that development and creativity have always followed a revival.
For instance, when Europe was the center of Christianity, it became the center of creativity. When Christians who wanted their freedom traveled from...

Christianos-One that is Joined to the Anointing
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit”. 1Corinthians 6:17
The word Christian is from the Greek word 'christianos'. It means one that is joined to the anointing. That means the day you became a Christian, you were plugged into the anointing. You live in that anointing now. Know that you are not going to be anointed; you are already anointed by God's spirit which resides in you.
The Bible says he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit (1Corinthians 6:17). 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: …” That means, when...

Stop The Fear
“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job 3:25
Fear is simply false evidence appearing real. You attract what you fear. Job said what he greatly feared and what he was afraid
of is come upon him. So, stop the fear. Also, stop thinking and talking negatively.
What you are confessing is what will happen in your life, whether good or bad. Proverbs 18:20-21(AMP) say, “A man's [moral]...

Guard Your Heart
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10
The thief being referred to in our opening scripture is satan. One of the reasons he comes is to steal. So, what does he steal? In the parable of the sower told by Jesus in Mark 4, it is revealed to us that the primary thing that satan comes after to steal from you is the seed...

Eternal Life
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Romans 5:12
When did sin enter into the world? Our opening scripture shows us that sin entered into the world by one man. That man is Adam. So, what did he do? The Bible says in Romans 5:19, “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, …” Adam's disobedience to God's word brought sin into the world...

Quest For Immortality
“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:”
Ephesians 4:17-18
The man that is not born again is carrying death because he is cut off from the life of God. He is dead spiritually. The Bible says in 1 John...

Greater Love
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:12-13
The greatest proof of love is self-sacrifice. You do not truly love anyone until you get to the point where you are willing to die for them. It could be the love of a husband for his wife or the love of a wife for her husband; what determines the depth of their love is how far they are willing to go in sacrificing themselves for each other.
You may have felt worthless because...

Message Of Life
“And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say."”
John 12:50 (NLT)
Jesus brought a message of life.
In John 10:10 the Bible says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Notice that Jesus said He came that they might have life. If He came so that we might have life, it means ...

Know God's Love
“For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.”
John 3:16(AMP)
Without love, life does not make sense. That is why God wants you to know, from our opening scripture, that He loves you with great love and prizes you dearly. When...

Spirit Of Life 2
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
Romans 8:11
There was a man by the name John G. Lake from America who went to South Africa as a missionary. While he was there pastoring, the bubonic plague broke out in that country and people were dying everywhere. When this was happening, John G. Lake and his workers went out without gloves or protective covering over their bodies and helped...

Spirit Of Life 1
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Romans 8:1-2
When you are born again, the Bible says, the spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes you free from the law of sin and death.
The Bible also says in Romans 8:11, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal...

You Are Light
“Ye are the light of the world… ”
Matthew 5:14
What you are conscious of is what dominates you. That is why I am bringing the truths of the gospel of life to you so that you will make these truths your meditation and allow them to dominate your life.
Firstly, I will like you to see, as stated in our opening scripture, that “Ye are the light of the world… ” If you are the light of the world, how can darkness have power over you? The light...

You Are More Than A Body
“Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.”
Job 10:11-12
Our opening scripture today clearly shows us that the body and the spirit are separate. So, it is important you understand that you are more than flesh and blood. You are a spirit being.
James 2:26 says, “For as the body without the spirit is dead,...

The Christian
“This Christian life is a great mystery, far exceeding our understanding, but some things are clear enough …”
1 Timothy 3:16 (MSG)
The word Christian is from the Greek word 'Christianos' which refers to one that is like the Anointed one. It also refers to one joined to the Anointed one and His anointing. Therefore, the Christian is that man or woman that is a joint heir together with Christ. The Christian is linked to the anointing that...

The Gospel
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:”
2 Timothy 1:10
What is the gospel? The gospel is the good news of what Jesus accomplished for us in His death, burial and resurrection. Therefore, as you get to study the gospel of Christ, you will discover that death has been abolished. Thus, the gospel is a gospel of life...

Your Heritage
“Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light. [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,”
Colossians 1:12-13 (AMP)
If you are born again, you must live with the consciousness that satan does not have control...

Access To The Kingdom
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
John 3:5-7
Being born again or the new birth is what gives you access into the kingdom of God. Until a man or woman is born again he or she is in the...

Be Born Again
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
1 Peter 1:23
Being born again is more than a conversion. It is the actual rebirth of the human spirit. This means that the day an individual gets born again, his or her spirit is infused with the divine life of God. He or she becomes a partaker of the divine nature, having the same quality of life in the same way God...

Increase Your Effectiveness.
“Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.” Acts 6:3From our opening scripture, we see the apostles preparing to delegate to new leaders. Why is it important for us to delegate as leaders? Delegating to the right persons, who possess the right requirements for the business, will, in turn, increase your leadership effectiveness and productivity.Leaders who do not delegate appropriately when it is required as a result of growth, will experience...

Success Is Not In Numbers.
“And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.” 1 Samuel 14:6From our opening scripture, we see Jonathan speaking to his armour bearer charging him to come with him to the garrison of the Philistine to battle with them. Why was he confident to take such a daring decision to go and battle with thousands of trained men of the Philistine army? It was because he was...

Change By The Word.
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:…” Psalm 19:7I remember, before I became born again at seventeen, I had two friends who lived very close to my house. From time to time, my friends and I would come together and decide that we were born again. We would agree that we’d no longer attend worldly parties any more, and then we would all go back to our houses.By Friday, after we have ‘tried to be born again’ for a period of time, and information got to us that there was going to be a party on Saturday in one of the most...

God Needs You.
“And I sought for a man …” Ezekiel 22:30When God calls you, answer the call because the destinies of many people out there are dependent on you answering your call. For instance, R.W Shambach was restored to Christ in an Oral Roberts meeting. What would have happened if Oral Roberts never answered his call? Maybe there would have been no R.W Shambach today. Now think about the numerous people around the world who have been saved and healed by the ministry of R.W Shambach. Those people may have continued in their darkness and their oppression if...

Right Living.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9
Our opening scripture lets us know that if you want to live a pure life, you have to live your life according to the Word of God. Guide your life according to the Word of God.
Psalm 119:11 says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” So, if you are struggling with sin, your deliverance and freedom is in the Word of God. All you need to do is to lay up the Word of God in your heart.
The Word of God will...

Be An Answer To Prayer.
“In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6.Leadership is always the problem and leadership is always the solution. Why? It is because everything rises and falls on leadership. From our opening scripture, we see that because of the absence of a King in Israel, the people did whatever was right in their eyes. In other words, because there was no clear leader over the people, they lacked guidance. Leaders determine the direction of the group. So, when God wants to change a nation,...

Cultivate The Right Heart.
“…Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22Character is not revealed when there is a demand for your obedience. True character is revealed when obedience is a choice. For example, if I should give you an instruction, you would likely obey because I am a Pastor. But if someone you are not familiar...
