1 Cor 12:1 says, Now, concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. In the authorized King James renditions, the word “gift” is italicized, which infers that it was not in the original Greek rendering. Though Paul’s aim was to ensure that the church was not misinformed, by adding the word “gift” in […]

In furtherance of our study on tithing, we will be looking at its relevance and at the same time continue to answer questions raised by readers. Hebrews 7:4 says Consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils”.  To consider means to fix one’s eye or mind […]

Last week, I began a series on tithing. As expected, it aroused all sorts of reactions and questions. In case you are wondering why Tithing evokes such adversarial reactions, I have news for you. This subject matter led to the first murder in the Bible. Cain Killed Abel over tithing. In spite of this, we can […]

In my last piece titled Abraham’s Blessing are Mine (IV), I said, “in order to fully grasp what is rightfully ours, it is vital we study the life of Abraham and find out how God treated him, because that’s how God has promised to treat us.” Note Christ brought us to God through Abraham and that …Christ […]

.… Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham 9 “So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham” (Galatians 3:7&9). The word “with” is used as a function word to indicate a participant in an action or transaction. This infers that everything God promised Abraham […]

Scriptures declare, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we (Jews and Gentiles) might receive the promise of the Spirit through […]

In furtherance of our study on Abraham’s blessings, Proverbs 10: 22 affirms: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. But many believers have failed to renew their mind with the word of God, thus have a wrong mindset and see “money as the root of all evil.” Rather […]

Some Christians get scared at the thought of being wealthy, because in their estimation, it is not possible to be wealthy and Godly. They don’t equate wealth with God. Their minds hold them hostage to wrong and unscriptural thoughts that wealth is carnality, and comes from the adversary. They aver that if you are wealthy […]

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 2nd Cor 13:14 The above text alludes to the three distinct trinity of the Godhead (God the father, the son and Holy Spirit), which, in Genesis, is referred to as “Elohim”, meaning Creator and […]

As we celebrate thanksgiving and take advantage of black Friday and cyber Monday shopping, let’s remember the words of Apostle Paul: Cease not to give thanks… (Ephesians 1:16). Thanks giving is grateful or appreciative acknowledgment of God.It means to show appreciation and gratitude. You see, whatever we show appreciation, we give the proper value and whatever we appreciate, appreciates […]Read More

…For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you. Not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). In this letter to the Church in Rome, Paul […]

Last week, I began a narrative of my encounter with a gentleman who said he found the Bible self-contradictory and confusing. But after a careful analysis of excerpt of the scriptures he cited, we discovered that his confusion stemmed from reading the Bible out of context. Today, we will continue with the discourse. But before […]
