Do you sometime wonder about the difference between tests, trials and temptations as used in the bible? Yes, sometimes these terms can seem confusing, well, relax, this article will help bring some clarity.

And the way to victory with these 3 things is the application of God’s word. So to be successful in tests, trials and temptations we must have God’s word in our heart (Psalm 119:11), in our mouth (Ma ..read more

The price of ignorance can be grave. As Christians we ought to know who we are, who we carry and what has been given to us. In this short Bible study clip, we see that Adam was ignorant about the scope of his dominion, ignorant about the depth of control he had over God’s creation hence the enemy could play games with his head. When we don’t know who we are, we make room for the enemy to play games with our lives. As a child of God, to reign victoriously in this world, you must know who you are, who you carry, and what has been made available to you. ‭ “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in ..read more

Trials don’t necessarily have to be bad, that’s why verse 2 of James chapter 1 admonishes us to ‘count it all joy’ when we are faced with various trials. This admonition immediately suggests that we ought to be welcoming of trials, to embrace trials, to rejoice at trials. Why so? Because there is a HOW to turn your trials into testimonies. Yes, that fire you seem to be walking through today, can be prelude for your promotion. Trials, tests, temptations shouldn’t break us, they shouldn’t make us loose faith or throw in the towel, abandon God or our faith, because as we see in James 1:3, tr ..read more

Jesus identifies the devil as the ‘ruler of this world’ in John 14:30 and in 2 Corinthians 4:4, Apostle Paul refers to him as the god of this age. Question is; how much rulership does the devil really have? Yes we know that God chased him out of heaven and down to hell, but how much of a god is he according to scripture? Somebody might say; ‘why should I even bother to know that?’, how about becoming informed of the extent of his godship in order to be able to define his territiory and by so doing keep him in constant check over your affairs. By how much is the devil the god of this world? The ..read more

We read the story of the rich man and Lazarus in the gospel according to Luke; Luke chapter 16, verses 19-31….. “But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate” Luke 16:20 Starting with a BUT, tells us there is a connection and contrast from prior or previous verses before verse 20. Yes we see mention of a poor man positioned at the gate of a rich man in verse 20, however, verse 19, sheds more light on verse 20… “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.” Luke 16:19 NKJV It is interesting how so ..read more

The Victorious Christian Life is a way of life characterized by winning, conquering, overcoming and it is exclusive to a select group of persons called Christians. First John 5:4 pretty much summarizes this way of life; “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God”. NKJV As long as you are born of God and you walk by faith, you will overcome, and keep overcoming this world and everything in it that works in variance to the Christian faith. We c ..read more
