Verse Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Message You know, it's so easy to think that our lives are led by God just by the mere fact that we go to church. It's easy to think that we are in His will because we can quote a myriad bible verses over the top of our heads.  It's really common these days to hear people say "I am fine by the Grace of God", even when they are being oppressed by the devil. It's really common to see people endure hardship on a pathway that has not been carved out for them by God. As we can see in the above verse, it is God who teaches us to profit by leading us to make strategic choices in life as a part of our God-given purpose. It is only up to us to submit our lives completely to Him.  God wants to teach us and lead us; to place us in His Kingdom far above principalities, powers and al...

Verse James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you... Message Many people are looking for God, but when they find Him or are close to meeting Him, they turn away; their decisions are usually based on preconceptions of who He is. People want to worship a supreme being or a god who can offer them all their needs in this life: power, peace and everything they lack. People want a god they can have a relationship with. We all yearn for a Godly Father because, at one point in time or another we felt like spiritual orphans being battered by the cares of life, which took advantage of us because we were all alone. Spiritual orphans jump from temple to temple, church to church or any other place of worship in search of something or someone real. They are looking for God, and He is right around them, waiting for them to draw close to Him: to understand why He sent His Son Jesus, so that they can receive everything in Him. Amen

Verses Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Message Much learning has the power to make one mad. When this happens, doctrines, teachings and theories,  that also cause others to slowly go mad  are birthed. Learning that is geared at challenging the Creator; trying to understand His wisdom by our own might, can lead, and has led a lot of people down the road to madness. Festus thought the same had happened to Paul, after he narrated his profound testimony (See Acts 26:24). But as Paul exclaimed, he received everything via revelation, not when he was on a quest to und...
