Thriving Words

For with God, all things are possible -  Luke 1:37 All things are possible for the person who has faith in God. As Christians, we walk by faith and not by sight. Focusing our attention on God so that all we can see is Him. Then we will see our impossible situations turn around. This Morning, I want you to be encouraged and your spirit lifted up by this song sang by one of favourites Gospel singer, Sinach. The song titled is All Things are Possible. The lyrics and video of the song can be found below:  The spirit of the Lord is moving Here with His power, anointing and grace There is glory there is favor This is the hour Time to arise And be blessed Be changed For the time is now [2x] All things are possible When we call in his name All things are possible In Jesus name Mountains will crumble Chains shall be broken All things are possible In Jesus name It doesn’t matter what you’re going through It doesn’t matter how f...

Last year, a young lady just started attending our church(her elder sister also visited once). After about a month, she met me and said: "pastor, my elder really like the church; she loves your preaching and appreciates your simplicity; she enjoys the warmth of fellowship here, but she said she can never be a member here, because of the dressing of the members. Some of the girls don't cover their hair and they use artificial hairs too; a few of them wear trousers (occasionally), wear artificial eye lashes and paint their nails." She continued: "pastor please teach your people to stop dressing like that so my sister can come. Let them start looking spiritual with their dressing, so they don't miss heaven ....."  When she was done, I replied in nutshell : "please tell your sis to locate a nearby Chosen...."  There is nothing spiritual about your dressing. If you're born of the spirit, you're not just spiritual; you are a spir...

There are times when we find ourselves in situations that are not convenient; we find ourselves in moment of sorrow, disappointments, discouragement and despair. Many of these times it is due to some utterances; some words of information; some words of facts; some words of reality. Thought bad situation is real, factual and visually clearly seen, but it is not final. Many at times these negative situations are  diagnosed  and revealed by very professional experienced expert; the main reason why the situation seems like it is final. But hear this; they do not have the Final Say;  Jehovah Has the Final Say!!! " Who is he that  saith, and it cometh to pass , when the Lord commandeth it not? " {Lamentations 3:37} There is this song which we usually sing; it goes like this: “ Who has the final say, Jehovah, has the final say. Jehovah Turns My Life Around (*2). He has made a way, where there is no way, Jehovah has The Final Say ” Many people sing...

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us. — Hebrews 12:1 So many people think Jesus came only to die and cleased us of our sins. While that is true, it's not the only thing that He did. Jesus came not just to cleased us of our sins but also to break the power of sins in our lives. Many of us are born against but we still commit one sin or the other and we wonder why and how we could stop this. Jesus came to break the power of sins over our lives. We need to just believe in His saving power. As Christians struggling with sins or addiction, you need to tap into the saving Power of Christ Jesus. That secret sins can be stopped, that addiction can be broken. Jesus has not only cleased your sins, He has also set you free from the shackles of sins. Believe in His saving Power. Stop struggling alone, Jesus has the power over sin.  Most folks would give up thinking their sinful habits is beyond redemption, The Power of the Cross has crushed t...

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it - Proverb 22:6 Today is also known as Children'a Day. It's a day we all celebrate our children. As a recent dad, I know the joy and happiness children brings into our lives. They are awesome. Sadly, there are so many things that still needs to be done. Street kids are on the rise, child trafficking and prostitution is not left out. The waywardness of children these is really alarming. So what exactly is wrong? Why the decline in the moral values of our children? Truth be told, each and every one of has a role to play in the upright upbringing of our children. God created the family so that there will be a conducive environment to rear children. These days, reverse is the case, single mothers popular called 'baby mama' is the new trend. When you don't train up a child in the way of the Lord which is the way to go, definitely the devil will have a hold on the c...

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.         - 2 Corinthians 1:20  “Yea” means “yes”. The promises of God are not “yes” then “no”. They’re not “I don’t know” or “Maybe so”. The promises of God are “Yes!” Will He save you? “Yes!” Will He heal you? “Yes!” Will He deliver you? “Yes!” Will He set you free? “Yes!” Will He supply your needs? “Yes!” The promises of God are “Yes” and the promises of God are “Amen.” Jesus said in  Revelation 1:14 that He is the Amen, the faithful and true witness, and the beginning of the creation of God. Jesus is the Amen! Amen means “So be it.” Amen means “It’s already done.” The promises of God are “Yes.” The promises of God are “So be it.” The promises of God are “It’s already done.” Every promise in the book is “Yea and Amen” but every promise in the book is conditional. The problem God’s people have with entering the promises of God is while God is saying “Yes, it’s a...

“Realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” ( 2 Timothy 3:1-4 )   We continue on the series Signs of the End Time: 2) The Signs of Society Today bible verse sounds like a typical evening newscast today! Notice the three things it says people will love in the end times: self, money, and pleasure. The love of self is Humanism — the belief that Man can accomplish anything on his own. The love of money is Materialism. When Humanism is your religion, your god will always be money. The love of pleasure is the third love that is mentioned. This is Hedonism, the lifestyle that is always produced by Humanism and Materialism. But God cannot be mocked ( Galatians 6:7 ). He there...

Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. —1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 (ESV) These days, there are common words you hear like ‘we are in the end times’, ‘Jesus is coming back soon’, ‘Rapture is near’, and ‘The world is coming to an end’. Questions people asked is when exactly is the end time and how will we know. Truth be said, nobody knows when the end of this world will come but there are signs we should watch out for to know that the beginning of the end has started. ...
