Mark 11:23-26 “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Whatever you ask for in faith you have already received but what prevents you from receiving it? Unforgiveness, if you cannot forgive God will not forgive you and for that you will not receive from Him and you will never be able to go to heaven. May God help you to live a life of repentance; what is a life of repentance? It is a life

What is greatness? No one was born a great, but everyone was born naked, hopeless, dependant and useless, all of us were born poor, having nothing. It is through understanding that a person becomes great. What is understanding? The main meaning of undersigning is to know good and bad. If you don’t know what is good and what is bad you will never succeed because you will destroy the good things in you. When you receive understanding you will know that when you do this you will miss this and when I say this I will miss this way. Because of not having understanding you end up being poor. People without understanding are 87% including you, because we were all born useless and the same as others. However you were born that is not the problem but the problem is your perception, what are you perceiving? Are you in negative or positive? God is searching in the world for a person who can present Him depending on your perception. God is searching for a person who knows wh

Salvation requires people to know who they are for the m to live a holy life in order to succeed and prosper. God's plan to save mankind is for them to live a holy and prosperous life. However, there are some people who have been saved for many years but their lives have not changed. They have neither success nor prosperity so they fail to become great. Their lives have no peace and their problems do not last. They are so because they have not realized who they are. Everyone who is saved must know that he is saved by grace and not by his own power. He should know that he is special because he caused God to allow His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for him. Jesus said “ You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”   John 15: 16.

Prayer is not like something simple that is why not everyone can pray and get answers. Although the Bible says that a person who asks will receive, there are still people who pray but do not receive. The main reason for not being answered is because we don't know how to pray. Jesus' disciples knew this and asked Him to teach them how to pray. That is why the Bible requires believers to be taught to pray so that their prayers can be heard by God. A believer should be aware of his or her weaknesses so that when he/ she wants to talk to God, he or she knows how to pray so that he/ she can receive answers even beyond what he/ she asks. Before you pray you have to understand what you want by looking at the situation you are going through which you want to bring it before God. Then read the Bible to find the Word that fits the situation; that will guide you to the type of prayer to pray. It is important to ask yourself what’s the purpose of your prayer? For exampl

Psalm 1:1 “Blessed  is  the man Who walks not in the counsel of the  [ a ] ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;” Why God call this person blessed? It is because this person has an expectation that is hope and no one can take it away; no one can take away your Hope because that Hope is created by God in you and not man. God created you with Hope that is why He calls you blessed, why? Because you have expectation in you. No one was created with money, housing, clothes or education, no one was born a king or doctor nor was anyone born rich but each of us was created with hope in him so that whatever he is hoping would come to him. Nobody is born a failure in the world but our failure is due to the environment we were born, many of us have found ourselves in failure, but you should know that environment is what made you fail and not how you were created, creation made us hopeful to win. We were created to create. God st

1 Chronicles 29: 17 “I know, my God, that you search the heart, and take pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.” In giving you cause and allow God to guide your heart and your ways. Outside of giving, it means there is someone else guiding your heart. The Angle we have been given will guide us when we submit to Him through offering. Exodus 25: 8 “And have them make me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them.” This means that if you want to cause God to be with you, make sure you give. Be a giver and the presence of God will never depart from you because God Himself is a giver and when you give you are showing yourself that you are like Him. 1 Chronicles 21: 22- 27 “David said to Ornan, “Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the Lord—give it to me at its full price—so that

Exodus 24 We see God calling Moses and Joshua but why Joshua and not Aaron while we know God initially send Moses and Aaron together with him ? Aaron was a spokes man to Moses but Joshua was Moses’ servant. Moses was Gods servant and Aaron was also God’s servant but they were not the same. Aaron was helping Moses to fulfil his work but Joshua was serving Moses. To God, Joshua was more important than Aaron because Joshua was for Moses as Moses was for God. This shows that Joshua and Moses were together all the time but Aaron was not with Moses all the time. Whatever Moses was doing, Joshua was the doer and whatever was happening to Moses was also happening to Joshua but not Aaron. This means that Joshua knew everything that Moses knew. In the church these days we have more helpers than servants. If you are in this church, don’t help me but do what I do. If you just help me you will get nothing. John 14: 12 “ Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will a

A place where God has released His GLORY, there is GOODNESS, PROSPERITY, PEACE and JOY. God will make known to you the way of life and if you know you will be brought before the Lord God of your fathers, where you will find JOY in abundance. The Word says, in His right hand there is an everlasting pleasure. A place of prosperity is where God has given up His power and authority and there is PEACE and JOY. The Word says heaven and earth and all that fills it belong to the Lord; so, if you want to see the Lord's goodness and live a life of glory, peace and prosperity, stay before the Lord where His wonders occur. Job 22: 21- 23 “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22  Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.” When there is PEACE, GOODNESS will come without seekin

Child of God, honour God’s plan and purpose in your life for you to succeed. The hardship and pain are allowed in your life because of SIN. Sin caused suffering and pain in all aspects of human life from the beginning. Genesis 3:16, 18 “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;” Even now there are people who are saved but living a difficult life because they do not follow the instructions. Do not let your personality be bought because of the distress you have or the desire of the eyes and do not let the need or trouble lead you to sin. The bible says LET YOUR REQUEST BE KNOWN UNTO GOD and not people. Desire to do what God has commanded through His Word, listen to the teachings of God's people for you to see your destiny

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” God wants you to show what you have, so that His Spirit can accomplish what is lacking, so look not at things first but look at the strength you need to have. If you follow the winners, you will succeed and if you stick with the losers you will fail. Psalm 16:3 “As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.” Psalm 2: 7-8 “I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you. 8  Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.” When you go through the path God has instructed you to go through, the path of HOLINESS if you ask Him for anything, He will give you and when you pray, WAIT FOR GOD TO BRING YOU. Rest in Him and love the Lord your God with all your heart, don't be a hypocrite, get rid of bitterness and hatred in your heart. To love and seek God

Believers Followers Disciples Are you a believer, follower or disciple? Don’t live in salvation without knowing which group you belong to. God does not deal with fans in His kingdom. Who are the fans? Are those who move around churches looking for miracles. When Jesus' disciples returned to Jesus with joy, Jesus asked them why they were happy. They told him that today the lame walked, demons had run away and people were healed, Jesus told them “do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” For your name to be written in heaven you must stop being a fan and become a believer, meaning that all you do resembles a believer. How will you know a believer? The bible says “all is possible to those who believe” so there is nothing impossible through his faith. Are you a believer? If you are a believer, what have you done through your faith? If your faith has done nothing, then you have not yet become a believ

When you understand the Word of God, God will never deny you answer to your prayer because God says that “He looks at His word to fulfill it”. Where is the promise of God? It is in His Word. People think that as much as they cry it is how God will hear them, but God don’t look at how you cry, He looks at What His Word says, what do you understand concerning that which makes you cry and what can God do to take you out. When you understand that and pray, God will answer your prayer because you will know it is Him who did so, but if you don’t understand God knows that even when He answers you, you will say it’s your aunt or uncle who has done it, because God cannot come down to give you what you want but He sends people and for that reason you will ignore God and adhere to human being. For you to receive what you want from God, He wants you first to understand what He can do in your life because when you understand you will give Him the GLORY and not people.   Swahili

The knowledge of God brings creativity that ease the performing of unique works with good quality and standards to bring about a better life. The Spirit of Knowledge works with the diligent and allows no one to rest until something happens in order to enrich and prosper him. This Spirit enables a person to learn something in a short period of time and become a champion and even design projects that generate employment for others. When the Spirit of Knowledge comes to you, you cannot become poor for it draws empowerment to your advantage and there is no failure as there is He who empowers you. It draws on implementation requirements for you to achieve prosperity. Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Even when you lack the power of God, this Spirit empowers you to win. It brings you from down and takes you to a higher level; it allows you to work hard so that yo

Proverb 3: 3 - 4 “   Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.” When you allow mercy and truth to be with you, you become wise before God, meaning that you can make yourself wise and when God look at you He says this is what I want. Don’t allow anything to corrupt your mercy and truth because when you have them you become favoured and wise before God and people. God always looks and give people the following four things and when you have them you have the glory of God Grace Blessing Peace Life   If you have those four you have the eternity and heaven is yours. Grace. We are saved by grace and we will get to heaven by grace, so without grace there is no salvation and eternity. Grace is favour you get from God. You cannot get grace without mercy, remember Jesus once answered people that He wants mercy and not offer
