Still on our topic, “Dreams”, in Joel 2:28, God’s promise of the great outpouring was that “Our sons and daughters shall prophesy, our old men shall dream dreams and our young men shall see visions”. Please, note that as He wills, our young men and women can also dream dreams and our old men and…
God who created us, knows us best, loves us most of all and nothing about us takes Him by surprise. Permit me to call Him in Yoruba dialect “The AR’INU R’ODE, OLUMORAN OKAN.” meaning “THE ONE WHO SEES INSIDE OUT, THE REVEALER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART” Genesis 18:9-19, verse 12 reads,…
When the article “The Promise of God to His children who refrain from idolatry” was published, I knew in my spirit that there would be a follow-up as I pondered over and over the depth, the magnitude and awesomeness of God’s righteousness and its restraining power.

When God said in Isaiah 65:24 “It shall come to pass before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear “, He meant every word of it. We serve a God who loves hearing and listening to our voices first thing in the morning, in the afternoon and late…
Reading through the book of Exodus, I could not help wondering why all the drama back and forth. The children of Israel were subjected to the greatest inhuman and unfair treatment, they cried earnestly to God but help seemed so far away. Knowing The Awesome Power of God, it obviously did not have to take…
Oftentimes, we pray so desperately to God when confronted by the most challenging predicaments or situations and it seems like the problems defy solution. At times, we even see a mirage of clues and foolishly conclude within ourselves, “That is it!, we have the answer, we can handle this!” but it also fails. Then we…
Circumcision, A Sign of the Covenant. God’s promise to Father Abraham was greatness, exceeding fruitfulness and trans-generational blessings in Genesis 17:1-8. To consolidate His promise, God instructed Abraham to circumcise every male person in his household as a token of the everlasting covenant between them.

God is ever faithful. (Psalm 89:1-2, 33; Lamentations 3:23) His wisdom is unsearchable and His knowledge so deep, even the most intelligent of all men can never outwit Him. The bible declares His faiithfulness. Since creation , every spoken word and created thing have remained the same at His command from generation to generation. Why…
There is an aspect of forgiveness that our attention is not always drawn to it. It is the silence of God when we go on the frolick of our own even when He has spoken over us His divine and precious promises. This does not mean He has not already forgiven us, it actually means…
Psa 130:4 But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared. Dan 9:9 To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. Mat 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of…
Throughout the scripture, the word ‘sheep’ was used to describe sinners and the people of God. Sheep have special characteristics that made them useful for The Master’s illustration. Some of which are the tendency to follow foolishly, being easily socialable, not wary of imminent danger, being very vulnerable and having the need to be constantly…
The reality of the kingdom of Heaven and the existence of hell in the mind of most humans are predominantly overshadowed by the beauty and vicissitudes of life. Ironically, these very vital determining factors of man’s sojourn on earth and final resting place are often considered unimportant. People would rather believe that the world (earth)…
Oftentimes, we wonder why it seems our efforts are not adequately appreciated and rewarded, especially when the service rendered, is in God’s vineyard. The factors, we do not consider are: 1. Who called us to do the work, God or man? 2. Do we truly have a calling? 3. Are we doing what He designed…
When you arrogantly consider yourself to be somebody, God makes you a nobody but when you consider yourself a nobody, He makes you somebody, (you become a force to reckon with). Just like the scripture says in James 4:6-7 “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says, “God resists the proud but gives grace to…
I Timothy4: 1-16 prophesied about the falling away from faith and giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking of lies in hypocrisy and having their own conscience seared with hot iron (being resolute on what is absolutely wrong without any intention to welcoming a positive change), forbidding to marry (perhaps, for…

GRACE is often seen as unmerited favour from God. Most preachers even look at grace from different viewpoints but one fact remains constant in all and that is, GRACE IS A GIFT FROM ONLY GOD. No human is capable of giving it. In this lesson, we shall be looking at grace as portrayed in Genesis…
The world today is witnessing an alarming rate of satanism, demonic possession and oppression as people of different races, genders and ages lose their minds on daily basis. This happens to some, due to alcohol or drug abuse, to others, through direct or indirect contact with demons or evil forces. I cannot but recall the…
Have you ever asked yourself these questions, Who is God? Does He really exist? Was everything really created by Him? These and many more must have crossed your minds at any time. Without any doubt, all creations testify that He is indeed alive and reigns for ever more. God is simply God alone. There will…
God often hides His greatest gifts to mankind like gold, diamonds, pearl, roses and other precious gems in the most unimaginable packages. Interestingly, these gems undergo PROCESS to bring out the best in them. Some are subjected to intense heat (fire), some pass through water, others are found amidst thorns. Most importantly, they survive untold…
Just as we roll out drums, blow trumpets, dance, sing, and shout aloud in honour of people we consider as royalty and dignitaries with so much accolades, we cannot separate between God and the true worship He deserves. The bible records that God inhabits the praises of His people, therefore commands that men should praise…
Why does satan hate God and His children? Satan hates God because God casts him out of heaven with his angels when they rebelled against Him. He was cast down to earth and he became furious.

Mephibosheth’s story 2 Samuel chapter 4 verse 4 tells the story of Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son who was lame in his feet as a result of a terrible fall at five years old when his nurse was fleeing with him after the news of King Saul’s and Jonathan’s death. (He became lame instead of being killed…

Do you know God works with principles? It is quite astounding how God created the world and still rules it today by His divine principles. In Genesis chapter 1, by His declarations, heaven, earth and all living things came to be. (That is the principle of declaration or spoken word). He told the angels, “Let…
WHAT ARE PERSECUTIONS? Persecutions are sufferings caused by other people to a person due to his/her religious beliefs. Persecutions are therefore different from tests and trials which are basically allowed by God to know what is in the hearts of His children. ( If they love Him enough to choose Him and His will above…
In life, both old and young face difficult challenges whether they are Christians or not but somehow, believers go through more challenges than their unbelieving counterparts.
