“For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:19-20) If there is one word that sums up the plan of God...

Religious Babylon
“And on her forehead a name was written: Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the abominations of the earth” Rev. 17:5 During His earthly ministry, our Lord Jesus Christ experienced the greatest opposition from the religious leaders of the time, namely the Pharisees and Sadducees. They were also instrumental in His... Continue Reading →
The kingdom – revealed, possessed, manifested
I realize that true and genuine change regarding nations, the poor, and the systems of this world cannot come through human effort, man-made institutions, intellectualism, academia or carnal research. The ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ during the days of His flesh is exemplary. But His ministry wasn’t a call to replicate His work or... Continue Reading →
Our Nazareth
The work of God in bringing us to maturity where we live out of the fullness of Christ is indeed a great mystery that God is revealing to us. Now we do see that the Christ in us is complete. Positionally, we are seated in heavenly places in Christ (Eph. 2:6). We have come unto... Continue Reading →
Give us this day our daily bread
Jesus taught His disciples to pray saying: “give us this day our daily bread” (Matt. 6:11). I’ve prayed this prayer many a times and like many, bread has often meant provision, blessing, the job, the house, etc. The Lord is faithful in meeting all our material and financial needs and I’m sure you can attest...

This is evident in the accounts of Jesus Christ in the days of His flesh and the plan... Continue Reading →
Selfdom
Self-confident, self-assured, self-motivated, self-determined, self-starter…the world has always taught us that many of these ‘selfs’ are not only good but absolutely necessary if we are to be successful, influential, or relevant. Selfdom is the realm of the self, it is the state of being where self has dominion. However, the Kingdom (King’s dominion) is in... Continue Reading →
Entering His Rest
“For he who has entered into His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (Heb. 4:10) Rest that God refers to is not merely a period of recuperation for one to be rejuvenated. We see from the scriptures that God Himself is in an undisrupted state of rest; “and... Continue Reading →
The Way of Cain
“Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain” – Jude 11 Cain is a man with not so great a testimony. He is known for being the first murder. Many know his story of being driven by jealousy and rage. In the short book of Jude, there is a reference to the... Continue Reading →
The Vision of God
I was recently in a bible study group where the topic of discussion was the vision of the particular church the group attended. After the group discussed the vision, a question was raised, which I will discuss in this blog. The question was: “does each church have its own vision or do we all, as... Continue Reading →
