"By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones." (Hebrews 11:20-22NKJV) Key Text: “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.” (vs. 20) Commentary: One thing in life is, believing God for the now and another spectacular thing is believing God for the future generation, and banking on a promise that was made before you were born. Isaac blessed Esau and Jacob in accordance to God’s promise to Abraham (Heb. 11:20), Jacob did same when he blessed his children (Heb. 11:21), and Joseph gave specific instructions concerning his bones right before he died (Heb 11:22), still leaning on the same promise God made to Abraham (Gen. 12:1-9) – Now that is Faith. Each of these generat

And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. (Exodus 2:1-4NKJV) Key Text: “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.” (Hebrews 11:23 NKJV) Commentary: Fear is the greatest enemy of FAITH and Faith is the greatest threat and solution to Fear. Often times believers compromise and lose heart as a result of fear; they give in to certain situations that is contrary to what we believe because we fear to lose our status, possessions, cliques and lots more. But the truth

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.(Psalm 23:1-6 NKJV)   Key Text: “Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully” (vs 3-4) Commentary: In the Old Testament, one of the basic requirements to step into the Holy of Holies was that the Priest must start purifying themselves weeks before the time they w

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.(1 Corinthians 15:42-49 NKJV) Key Text: “It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.” (vs 43). Commentary T

  Introduction: “And He Himself gave some to be Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” (Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV) The primary purpose of the ministry God has given to you is for you to be a key player in building the Kingdom of God; first by raising men, whose heart and hunger is totally dependent on God and secondly for God to be glorified through your life and your ministry. The moment your focus deviates from any of these two fundamental responsibilities, you lose touch with Him who has called you and you also lose touch with your ministry. Every ministerial gift God has given through Christ to us, encircles within these two important factors. In this article, the major point that we want to buttress is the word “FOCUS”. Definition: The word focus refers first and foremost to Purpose, area of concentration and axis of attention. In
