Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. James 5:15-16  *There is a link between sickness and sin. To confess your sins is to be in the position to be healed.* The Scripture makes it clear that it is the Will of God for His children to live in perfect health (3 John 2). However, should a child of God fall into ill-health, God made provisions for the restoration of his or her health.

To operate or manifest the Wisdom of God, the fear of the Lord is a capital requirement. Therefore, it is very important to know what the fear of the Lord is so we can be wise in life. What then is the fear of the Lord?  The fear of God is existing by Godly principles.  To exist in the fear of the Lord is to govern your life by the principles of God as found in His Word.

It is a dangerous kind of mind-set because of its tendency to follow the bandwagon. To follow the crowd makes people to be lost in the crowd. If you don’t have a mind of your own, you will follow the mind of others. *Serving God is a matter of personal responsibility. When your responsibility towards God is personal, your results become possible.* In Scriptures, those who made impact with God and in their generation too...

What you allow to cross your mind from time to time either confirms and empowers your faith or confounds and counters your faith. Now, positive or optimistic thoughts confirm faith while negative and pessimistic thoughts confound, counter and disempower faith.   Proverbs 23:7 says, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his he...

Hebrews 11: 1.  *Without faith, there is no future for the just.* Faith is one subject that is often misunderstood by many Christians. Some people believe that faith is a doctrine of a particular denomination or a group of Christians and so, they don’t have anything to do with it. Such people can say things like, “We are the holiness people. We are not the faith and prosperity people. We are the prayer people. Ours is not the line of faith and prosperity”. The truth is, there is nothing like that. Habakkuk 2:4 says,  …but the just shall live by his faith. So, provided you are not a sinner or a Godless person – whether you are a ...

I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Psalm 32:5. *When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always dangerous and uncontrollable.* The Scripture makes it clear that sin goes beyond offending God with our actions. Many times, we think that sin starts and ends by our offending God with our actions.  Sin is the primary offence while the iniquity of sin is the secondary effect. The iniquity of sin refers to the collateral damages and ravages of sin particularly as it affects others. When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always danger...
