175 – The Gift of God
Beloved, when you learn that all of God’s kindness towards you is simply a gift which He is under absolutely no obligation, besides His Word to fulfil, you will be ever thankful. His word will be most precious to you because He is not a man who will lie or the son of man who will change His mind! Yes! indeed, every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of light in…
174 – Come, let us reason together
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

173- Begin to contend in battle II
The moment you gave your heart to Jesus, you were thrown into the heat of an ancient battle. Just as God brought the Amorites before Israel when He was ready to execute His vengeance on them, God thrusts out enemies of His promise before us that we may be his instruments of vengeance. This is the honour of all the saints and sons of God, Psalm 149:5-9.
173- Begin to contend in battle – The God inspired enmity
Once man and his helper failed, God stepped in to help. He did so by a promise, to reinstate the enmity between the woman and the serpent and by promising the ultimate victory of dominion via a seed who will crush the head of the serpent, Genesis 3:15. While we can notice a physical application of…
172- The Blood shall be a token for you -III
In Revelations 12:10-11, they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the Word of their testimony. In essence, they repeated what the blood of Jesus spoke on their behalf, that they are redeemed (recovered as God’s possession, restored to true honour and dignity and set free) by the blood of Jesus. An aspect of redemption is an overturning of a judgement. Reuben committed a…

169 – Contend for the true faith III
Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. [4] For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God. But I want to…

167 – The Kingdom of God IV
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.…
