The enemy doesn’t send us trials and temptations with good intentions, however, God walks with us through them, helping us overcome temptations, and to grow through trials, by the way of His word. This is our confidence; that God is with us through the fire or waters. Halleluyah
God TESTS us, and unlike temptations which come from the enemy to make us sin, Tests from God act as refining or purifying processes with the intended aim of building character, patience, perseverance, subsequently leading to perfection and completeness.
Somebody might say; ‘why should I even bother to know that?’, how about becoming informed of the extent of his godship in order to be able to define his territiory and by so doing keep him in constant check over your affairs. By how much is the devil the god of this world?
the rich man’s affluence was reflected in his dressing, food choices and lifestyle.
I have to note though, that one translation described what was described as luxury as waste. Why was Lazarus kept at the rich man’s gate?
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. I John 4:10 NKJV
Have you suffered a heartbreak before? Have you been misrepresented, misunderstood or misinterpreted before? It hurts much more when people who are close to us hurt our feelings. Sometimes with such experiences, it becomes difficult to trust again, to love again, to hope for the best.
A deeply hurt heart, might struggle to love again. First John 4 verse 10, tells us what real love looks like…so there’s a right way to love.
Real love is the way God loves. It is not dependent on the disposition of the recipient; it seeks to do good irrespective of prevailing conditions.
This way of love has nothing to do with the feelings of the giver.
God’s love is selfless, sacrificial and uncompromising. It is superior way to love. It is the best way to love.
if you are feeling overwhelmed by a vision, ambition or project, as long as God gave that idea to you, and as long as you prayed, consulted with God before embarking on that project, rest assured, it will be done.

1John 5:4 NKJV
[4] For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
A victorious Christian life is a way of life, a life of consistent victory, it is about thriving in the face of difficulties and challenging situations. With the existing complexities, hardships of the current world, a victorious life is a much cherished way of life. And the good news is; every Christian, every disciple of Jesus can enjoy this life. First John 5:4 tells us this much……
We are born of God, born of the Word and Spirit, with a spiritual genetics configured to have victory at all times and in all things.
Through faith, accepting God’s Word as true and patterning of lives according to God’s Word we set ourselves up for victory, in every situation, place or time.
God is our Father and every time we go to Him, He is ready to help us. He is always willing to help us sort even the most difficult challenges of life.
Isaiah chapter 53 verse 5, gives a picture of an exchange, it depicts the substitutionary sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
What sets a Christian apart to enjoy a life of perpetual victory in a world where everyone is striving to thrive against odds? How is it possible to enjoy a victorious christian life in our current world? This is what this study series is about.
