“The ministry is pure when it’s not about the money. The ministry has a greater impact when it’s not about the money. The ministry is a blessing to the minister and those ministered to when it’s not about the money. Therefore be clear that it’s not about the money!”
“God is good to both the righteous and the unrighteous… A relationship between two people, such as husband and wife, is built on faith. Without that decision to believe and trust the other person, no amount of niceness will improve that relationship. People cheat on people who are nice to them and on people who are cruel. Niceness doesn’t prevent infidelity. Faithfulness is a decision to believe and trust. Faithfulness is a choice.”
“Without separation and distinction we fail. Without separation and distinction our faith makes no difference. Without separation and distinction we have no evangelistic purpose to invite people to something better. Without separation and distinction we are not truly converted. Without separation and distinction it means we love the world more than God. We need to be separate and distinct!”
“The Bible stories are intentionally incomplete. Not all details are given. Not all stories are told or complete…We cannot demand that the Bible should have given us more details and stories. This is because we are currently struggling with the few we have. We have not exhausted studying and understanding the few that we have been given, how can we demand more? The few are sufficient for the biblical objectives to be fulfilled.”
Does the house of God, the church, need human security? Do religious leaders need bodyguards? Can God provide security for His church and people, without need for security? Is use of security also a lack of faith?
“There is something that God wants done. You are able to do it. You are available to do it. But are you ready? God wants men and women of instant action? God will only anoint a man or woman who will immediately rise up and do the job without much a do. Jehu was ready pending anointing. Are you ready?”
“How important are our physical looks in our spiritual growth? Should we attend to the spiritual and ignore our physical appearance? …Esther was very beautiful. She had a lovely figure. Yet she avoided excess make up that other competitors used. She only used the basic make up that Hegai provided. Basic make up and grooming stuff is good. We shouldn’t abandon everything that makes us look good. Some oils and perfumes and designs greatly improve our physical features. Esther improved her physical appearance. However, she was not as extreme as compared to others.”
“After such a lesson, we still can’t believe that salvation is free. Therefore we ask questions to prove that good behavior is important. This is because we want it to be by merit. The simple and correct answer is that good works, good behavior in us is produced by the Holy Spirit in us AFTER SALVATION. It is not our efforts. Therefore you can’t brag about it nor present it as evidence that you are better than others. You realize that you are still the chief of sinners!”
“Saved from failure. Saved from losses. Saved from job loss. Saved from broken relationships. Saved from sickness. Saved from death. Saved from sin and hell. Saved from brokenness. Saved from bad people at home, around us and far away. Saved from toxic spouses, toxic bosses, toxic neighbors and scheming colleagues. Would it then be acceptable to have lame excuses for missing worship, communion and expression of gratefulness? Isn’t ungratefulness dangerous?”
