We have come to a time when the fate/future of our Dear nation Nigeria will be decided by us. I have heard so many people talked about the forth coming election and how they want to vote. It pains my heart that many of us wants to vote with ignorance and because of certain things like money, name, party, etc. In this article, I will be showing you the biblical pattern for voting rightly. No fewer than 30 presidential candidates for the 2019 general elections have emerged. The question is who is the right man for this job? Different Pastors have been prophesying the right man but do you think they are right? Personally God hasn’t told me anything about the right man but he gave me direction to vote which am about to share. Irrespective of your tribe, religion, ethnicity and culture, apply these directions and vote wisely. These directions are extracted from the Bible. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivin...

There is no intention in this chapter of presenting an elaborate treatise on homiletics. It simply aims to give practical suggestions for the preparation of sermons that will win souls for Christ and edify believers. This practical ways are gotten from my own self experience. 1. FIRST GET YOUR TEXT OR SUBJECT. A great many neglect to do that, and when they get through preaching they do not know what they have been talking about, neither does the audience. Never get up to speak without having something definite in your mind to speak about. There may be exceptions to that rule. There are times when one is called on suddenly to speak, and one has a right then to look to God for subject matter and manner of address. There are other times when one has made full preparation, but it becomes evident when he is about to speak that he must take up some other line of truth. In such a case also, one must depend upon God. But under ordinary circumstances, one should either have something defi...

  To effectively grasp a book, you need to actively engage the Five Fingers. In the same way, to grasp God's Word, the five fingers of your right hand would be required. The fingers stand for: hearing , studying, memorizing and meditation on God's Word. Romans 10:17 says: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. 1. Hearing This is one way to learn God's Word. Romans 10:17 says: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. You can listen to messages, audio, video and VCDs of anointed men and women of God. It is very helpful, but your knowledge of God should be restricted to hearing only. Educationalists tell us that we only retain six to ten percent of what we hear. A believer who relies only on messages he or she hears, would be living on a very meager spiritual diet that will leave his spirit starving. 2. Reading Deuteronomy 17:19 says: And it shallshall be with him, he shall read therein all the days of his life: ...

Hearing From God A lot of Christians has been born again for many years but still don't hear from God. If you are that type ,Glory to God, having read this post, He will speak to you right now. Hearing from God is simply God giving you direction or telling you what and what not to do. It is exciting when you have a mutual relationship with God and he speaks to you one on one. In Gen. 2&3 explains the relationship between God and Adam. God had a very intimate communication with Adam. All the instructions given to Adam by God was done in a one one conversation. When sin came into existence, the cord was broken and direct communication with God seized. That's why now, we must have a true   relationship with God through the Jesus in truth and spirit to hear from him. My prayer is as you read this, God will speak to you in Jesus Name. Amen! You cannot live a successful Christian life if you don't hear from God. Apart being a pastor or a priest unto God, you still nee...

                                                                  Christians so often ask, “How can I know the will of God?” We want to know His will. We need to know it if we’re going to live the abundant life He has for us. But to know His will, we must know God Himself—and not just head knowledge. We must know His ways. How to set goals towards Success You will never know stability and victory in your life without knowing God the Father, the Lord Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit intimately. To find His will, ask yourself, “Do I know Him? Do I know His ways? Basics of Success When you know His ways, it follows as night follows day, you’ll know His will. A...

As Christians we are seeking to know God, but in what way or to what degree? “He made His ways known to Moses; His acts, to the children of Israel.” -Psalm 103:7     God’s ways are different from His acts. His acts are His activities; His ways are the principles by which He acts. The children of Israel knew only His acts, but Moses knew His ways (Psa. 103:7). Hebrews 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Hebrews Three Ways of Knowing God     According to His acts     According to His principles     According to His being We all start out only knowing God’s acts. These are the most apparent of the three and fit in with the most basic concept of God- He’s the Sovereign, calls the shots, rules the universe and yet is somehow privy to our needs. We ask for something and He acquiesces. I have a job interview and pray that God ...
