Sermon #27: THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

  “But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand …” Exodus 3: 19-20 I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him,” God said to Moses. I rephrase this statement as follows: “I know that the devil will not leave you alone unless a mighty hand compels him.” That sounds totally true. Satan has to be compelled to leave you alone, to let you go. He will never willingly let you go. This goes to show the determination that Satan has when it comes to constraining the children of God; he wants to keep them in bondage forever. Christians, therefore, need to be more determined than the devil to free themselves from his shackles. Unfortunately, a number of Christians are too lukewarm or absent-minded to even think of getting their freedom; such Christians, therefore, remain under Satan’s bondage in various areas of their lives. The devil is determined to bind you forever. If the devil i...

Sermon #9: WALKING WITH GOD DAILY


“Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” Genesis 5:24


While we live in this world, before we die, every second of our lives, the call is for us to live faithfully with God.

We have been given a great example to emulate, the example of a man who did exactly that. According to the opening bible verse, “Enoch walked faithfully with God.” What a powerful role model! What an inspiration Enoch was and still is to believers!

Walking faithfully with God is a result of a deliberate decision that one makes. It certainly depends on the extent to which one is devoted to the will of God, whether one has truly surrendered, or they just use their powerful communication skills to claim so.

A person who surrendered or fully surrendered to God will walk faithfully with Him. Deceivers won’t walk faithfully with God because they won’t and can’t. The weak demonstrate huge variability in their approval ratings regarding this matter depending on the day of the week or minute of the hour.

God is not looking for those who have not surrendered or those who have partially surrendered (if there is such a thing). God is not looking for those who will walk in weakness; He is not a God of weakness, which is why the bible encourages believers to always stand strong.

The worshippers that God seeks worship Him in spirit and in truth. Such worshippers walk faithfully with God. I cannot imagine somebody not walking faithfully with God claiming to be walking in spirit and in truth.

There is something quite encouraging about walking faithfully with God. A person who walks faithfully with God never dies; instead, God takes them away. Isn’t that a refreshing view of death?

Walk faithfully with God daily. Will you? Won’t you?

Sermon #26: TAKING THE ISRAELITES OUT OF EGYPT

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:11 God depends on you to carry out His mission in this world. Never let Him down. The Israelites were in slavery in Egypt. They were toiling each day, forced to undertake strenuous manual assignments. The King of Egypt was treating the Israelites with extreme brutality. The Bible says because of this,  “God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.”  Exodus 2:24-25 God did not end with just being concerned about the plight of the Israelites; He resolved to take them out of Egypt to the Promised Land. God decided to take action consistent with His concern. This is where the matter gets interesting. God wants to carry out a very important mission, but He can only achieve this through man. He has identified a man for that purpose. But on approaching the man, here is the response that God got:  “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelite...

Sermon #8: IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD

“When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.” Genesis 5:1 This  bible verse evok es a strong feeling in me; a feeling of belonging, of walking together, of being accepted, loved, protected, and guided by Him. The bible verse makes me meditate daily on my true identity  –   who I am in this world, and what my priorities are or should be in this short life.   Every Christian, as born again, should strive to live their life exclusively within the God context. God created mankind. Some people do not believe this; some do. I believe it. After all, life is about choices, and everybody has the free will to exercise. I hail from God, so I believe, and this has everything to do about everything that pertains to my life. God made mankind in His likeness. Doesn’t this inspire you? Won’t you stop looking down on yourself and start to excel in who you really are or are meant to be? Stand straight; believe that you resemble Him because you do. You carry the nat...
