"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." Mathew 6:24
Our challenge today!
Many people find it difficult to commit to God because of the things they will have to give up. They may have to quit doing certain things that they like if they are to be true followers of Christ. The bad thing about this is not that they will have to deny themselves something that…

“Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:4
Our challenge today!
Well, it is one thing to believe in Jesus and an entirely different challenge to cleave to him. To walk after Jesus is to walk in his footsteps, to do the things that he did, such as having compassion upon the multitudes and preaching the word wherever he went. To cleave to him is not only walking the w…

“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:26
Our challenge today!
In proverbs it tells us that hope deferred leads to a heavy heart. Have you ever hoped for something and it took what seemed to be forever before it came? It doesn’t seem so good as this passage says it is while you are going through it, but the waiting does something to us, it causes us to grow in faith, it causes us to lean more on God, assuming that he is…

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him.” Colossians 2:6
Our challenge today!
Have you been Born Again? This passage is written to those that have been Born Again, those who have received Jesus Christ and are living a new life with Him. Why does he instruct those who have already received Jesus to walk in Him? Is there a danger that they might not walk with Him every day? Yes! The danger is real, although we are told to abide in Jesus and we will bea…

"Because he has loved me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known my name. Psalm 91:14
Our challenge today!
If God is for you then who can be against you? It's easy to forget that a mighty God protects us when the weight of our trouble is pressing against us, but we are reminded here that because we have loved Him, he will bless us. When times are difficult and nothing seems to go our way, when we feel all alone with no one to call on, a…

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our savior Jesus Christ;" Titus 2:13
Our challenge today!
We are taught all through our life to set goals and to strive to achieve the most that we can out of life. This is a good thing! The problem arises when our goals and achievements take away our focus from what matters. Each person has a different idea of what matters. What are you looking to achieve? What are you hoping for in life? How will you…

The Body of Christ has been able to believe God for healing and divine health. We have heard great testimonies of how the Lord has healed incurable diseases and “fixed” physical problems that could not be “fixed”. And there is no problem there! We believe the Lord for more healings and miraculous recoveries.
The blessing of walking in divine health is tremendous, and we trust that more of the Children of the King would walk in that health… For it is by HIS stripes that we WERE healed (I Peter 2…

“Then spake Jesus again unto them saying, I am the light of the world, he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
Our challenge today!
The Prophet Isaiah is recorded saying; “O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.” And in Paul’s letter to the Romans we read, “For salvation is nearer to us now then when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and…

"And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did. He removed the high places, and brake the images and cut down the groves, and brake into pieces the brazen serpent that Moses made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan." 2Kings 18:3,4

It was President Franklin Delenore Roosevelt who in his 1933 Inaugural Address stated, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." It was the time of the Great Depression where there was 80% unemployment, people were living in wagons, standing in bread lines and the…

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help commeth from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1,2
Our challenge today!
When you are in need of help do you lift up your eyes to the hills and call upon the God who made heaven and earth? Or do you try to handle it yourself and fix it? Our help comes from the Lord and He loves it when we rely solely on Him. God frustrates the plans of man because He always knows what’s best for us. We don'…

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trust in thee. Isaiah 26:3
Our challenge today!
The whole world seems to be crying out for peace today. With all the troubles that we see in the news and reported in the media where can we turn for peace? Yes, we can turn to Jesus; he is the Prince of Peace. Many do turn to Jesus, but their problems continue because they quickly turn away again and turn their minds back to the cares of this world. Jesus…

Our challenge today!
Thousands of years ago a group of people decided that Jesus was insignificant. They decided that He was an obstacle to religious life and an impediment to all mankind. They marked him as a criminal and rejected him. They never ever thought that he would become such an impact in t…

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9

God is not someone who if you tell him your wrongs will be standing there with a tablet writing it down for later reference. Jesus assures us that if we confess our faults, he will forgive us. He is not in the business of taking notes to see who has been good enough to get into heaven, he is in the business of wiping out all memories o…
