The Believers’ Hope (1) By Babatunde Olugboji In the beginning of Romans 5, Paul pointed out that suffering produces endurance: a deeper, longer trust in God. This in turn produces character, meaning we more consistently and deliberately choose to do what honors God. This then produces hope, where we experience growing certainty that our ultimate destiny is an eternity of good in God’s presence. Now Paul concludes this chain by saying that our hope will never put us to shame. By that, Paul means our hope will be fully vindicated. We will never, in the end, be disappointed for hoping…

“His Mercies are New Every Morning” (2) By Babatunde Olugboji God’s mercies are indeed new every morning. If there is a question to be asked, it is how are God’s mercies new every morning? We already know his mercy flows out of his love. Since he has eternal love then his mercy will be as well because they are connected. The statement that God’s mercies are new every morning is really a reminder to us. God provides mercy for each day, and it is refilled and refreshed each morning. This is not just a statement about availability, it is also…

“His Mercies are New Every Morning.” (1) By Babatunde Olugboji Arguably one of the most comforting and reassuring words you will find in the Bible is in Lamentation 3. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentation 3:22-23) God’s love and mercy not only are never ending but are being renewed every morning. It goes through a process of renewal every 24 hours. Can you find greater hope and comfort than that? But the question is how does this work and how are…

Carnal Weapons of Warfare By Babatunde Olugboji In 2 Corinthians 10: 3–4, Paul writes on the subject of spiritual warfare: “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (NKJV). The word carnal refers to human physical weapons. There were false teachers within the Corinthian church who rejected Paul’s apostolic authority. These teachers boasted about their natural talents and achievements, meaning that the weapons of their warfare were carnal. It’s not clear the precise nature of their accusations…

On the issue of Offenses (2) By Babatunde Olugboji The Bible says fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. (Proverbs 12: 16) Maybe someone says or does something and someone else is offended. They do not like what someone else is saying or doing. Very quickly you take offense and start fighting back. You don’t pause to consider what was said, who said it or why. You don’t give the other person a chance. Many relationships have been broken because of one wrong word that was spoken, and offense was taken. Fools show annoyance immediately…

YOUR THOUGHT BECOMES YOUR WORTH – meditate it! manifest it! By Segun ‘Tremendous’ Oshinaga Whatever you do not want to see in your life, don’t allow it in your thoughts.

THE VOICE OF THE ELECTS (The VOTE) – Kingdom Building Business Partners Repairing the Ruins of the Lord’s House! …Your life depends on it By Dr. Priscilla Otuya Every religion, including organized Religious Christianity is a broken cistern that cannot hold water, and any vessel that cannot hold water is useless to the Father and to the cause of His kingdom on Earth and that is because it cannot serve it’s purpose. “Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken…

On the Issue of Offenses (1) By Babatunde Olugboji Trying not to take offense could be difficult. This week we’ll start a series addressing the Biblical principles on offenses. This principle applies to just about any sin a person can commit. When we focus on a behavior, even in an attempt to eliminate it, the result is more of that behavior. This is just how our minds work. Thankfully, there is a better way to address this problem. People are lured and enticed into sin as a result of desire (James 1: 14). Every sin or bad behavior begins with…
