"I preach as if Christ was crucified yesterday, has risen today and would return to the earth tomorrow."

There is the common mistake in the use of the words, “Jealous” and “Envious” in the English language as the one is often confused for the other. The confusion however also seems to extend to the feelings of the same (emotions), so much so that it is very easy to be Jealous or Envious and not even know it…until someone or something forces us to think.

Giving and Receiving Cheap Grace

The term “Cheap Grace” was defined around 1937 by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as the “preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.”

In a nutshell, it more or less promises lots of benefits with little or no sacrifice attached to it. As those that desire to follow God, we are to shun the aforementioned message and embrace biblical grace. Biblical grace is God’s love in action which has been defined as “the unmerited favour of God to those who are under condemnation”. It is this same love in action that transforms a man from the inside out, making him alive and obedient to God’s will(Ephesians 2:1-8).

As those who desire to love God and follow Jesus Christ, we should not but ask ourselves the question, “which grace have I received, God’s Grace or Cheap Grace, and as preachers of God’s word, what have I been preaching, God’s Grace or Cheap Grace?

Prophecy is both "forth-telling" and "fore-telling". Simply put, Forth telling is declaring what is already revealed in God's word, the bible. Fore telling on the other hand is declaring what is not yet revealed, i.e., something that has either happened or will happen in the future. Both are inspired by God.

It is wise to know whether the “prophecy” spoken over you has conditions attached to it or not. Some prophecies only come to pass when God’s conditions are met.

24/06/2017

Biblical prophecy is Not to declare a good, nice or courteous word over yourself or someone else and hope it will come to pass. Instead, to truly prophesy is to speak forth only what the Lord has said.

O Lord, how great are Your works!
Your thoughts are very deep.
A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.

~ Psalm 92: 5 - 6

Child of God, do not be afraid to set high standards wherever you go. As a representative of God however, you must do it with wisdom and in love as it might make others uncomfortable.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." ~ 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

There are sermons and there are sermonettes. It is crucial to know when to preach for 15 minutes and when to preach for 45 minutes.

When God exposes us!

When the Spirit of God is at work during the preaching of His word, your thoughts, actions and plans become exposed (to you). This is one of God’s ways of hinting that He is omniscient…and believe me, He knows it all!

Many have quarrelled with friends, family and fellows thinking they told the Pastor/Preacher about them before the sermon started. Not so. God knows more about us than any man can ever reveal. When He, the Almighty exposes us, it is that He might save and change us for the better. It is only the devil that seeks to expose us that he might destroy us. The Lord will help us!

What if a man tells you he had a night vision of the after-life, where the Lord, Jesus Christ stood at the gate of heaven to allow everyone in regardless of whether they believed in Him or not. Such a vision or dream is called an extra-biblical (outside of the bible) revelation. I have nothing against extra-biblical revelations except that their intended message(s) should be supportable by scripture.

Let us purpose in our hearts today to be like the

It is acceptable to say that if an interpretation of a particular verse of scripture cannot be verified or supported by other verses of scripture, then it is most likely not the correct interpretation or meaning. Scripture supports scripture.

Thank God for open doors. Thank Him also for doors that He has shot. Trust His infinite wisdom.

"But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."

Do not be quick to follow what everyone else is doing as that might not be God's path for you. The Lord is not always in nor with the crowd.

When I first started preaching almost two decades ago, I remember God impressing on my heart over a short period of time that whatever He wanted me to preach or teach on was the very thing I was to communicate to the people. That meant that even if He wanted me to preach against the sin that I was struggling with as of the time, then that was just what I had to do.

The above experience made me quickly realise that as a teacher/preacher, I was to preach only what he wanted me to, regardless of how uncomfortable it was. It also became clear to me that I too was to submit to the very message (His word) that I was preaching...I am not above God’s word.

10/01/2017

The preaching of Grace that only emphasises God’s Love and makes little or no mention of Sin, Repentance and Holiness is diabolical. It can never glorify God nor benefit man eternally.

09/01/2017

It’s amazing how some words today are being used in an inverted or contradictory way. Consider the following words below and their new usage:

Bad/Sick >>> Cool, Awesome
Beef/Beefing >>> Conflict
Owned >>> Beaten/Defeated by other
Wicked >>> Excellent

To be honest a lot of us have used some of these words before, perhaps to our own folks or even during sermons at Church. My prayer is that the meanings of the following list of words below would never change:

Sin
Pure
Love
Holy
Faith
Hope
Grace
Repent
Abomination…

I cease to serve the most high God if all I ever did was to indiscriminately and pronounce blessings on everyone in my path. To do such would be tantamount to eliciting the praises of men and undermining the grace of God."

16/12/2016

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, one of the ways we could honour Him as individuals and church is to avoid compromise and rededicated ourselves and assemblies to Him (His Lordship).

The Truth About Spiritual Compromise:

"Once a church or an individual Christian gets on the downgrade, momentum takes over. And the slide begins. Recovery is unusual and it occurs only when Christians get on the upline through spiritual ."
