“As we go through the day, you may need to be silent in some matters… Many holier than thou persons focus on others but hardly reflect on themselves… When God confronted Cain after he killed his brother, He didn’t rub it in. When God confronted David after the Bathsheba scandal, He didn’t rub it in. When Jesus met Peter who had betrayed him thrice and other disciples who had deserted Him, He didn’t rub it in. Don’t rub it in!”
“Prayer is not bothering God… Faith defies reality by believing that God can change the impossible situation. Faith defies reality by believing that when God doesn’t respond as we expected, it shall still be well for He has a better alternative. On these two beliefs, faith moves forth to defy reality!”
“What can a brand new convert preach? What can a man who hasn’t spent a full day with Jesus preach? What can a man who hasn’t heard the teachings of Jesus preach? … Can’t you preach this sermon? Who can’t tell what God has done for them? Tell them how much God has done for you. Tell them how you survived without a job. Tell them how you recovered. Tell them how haters couldn’t harm you. Tell them how things changed for the better after you prayed. Tell how much God has done for you!”
“Live like someone who knows that your current secrets will be aired for public consumption…Are you doing things hoping to never get caught? Using contraceptives. Procuring abortion. Stealing money…Do you seat in secret meetings and plan to harm others?…”
“Unless we are humble enough to listen, God’s word will be a blessing to others but not to us. Others will be blessed after reading or listening but we go cursed and worse off. Worship will be a place of blessings for others but for us a curse. Are we humble teachable or proud know it all masquerading with a shallow veneer of humility? Who are you really? What are your true colors? What are you made of?”
“…These women were not idlers hanging around Jesus for free lunch. They were civil servants working in Herod’s house. They were rich enough to support Jesus and everyone around Jesus. They were not fundraisers, they did not go around soliciting money for Jesus. They supported Jesus and everyone around Jesus using their own money!”
“Everyone who ever served God faithfully and in outstanding ways, had to abandon their own agenda and priorities and take up what God gave. Jeremiah had to abandon childhood and even marriage. Jonah had to abandon comfort and go where he hated to go. You can’t succeed with God unless you deny yourself, change your agenda and priorities to what God wants!”
“..,That means when someone dies, God hasn’t failed to keep the person alive…The atheists did not kill Jesus…Good, religious, spiritual people are in danger of getting lost. Examine yourself prayerfully! You could be worse than demons in your righteousness!”
“…What about you? Who do you say I am? In other words, I hope you have not been influenced by what people say. Don’t be influenced by the crowd, verify the truth for yourself and stand by it. Know what they are saying but have the truth that may differ from the group. What about you, what are you saying?”
