But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” — 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NKJV) One of the greatest safeguards of spiritual strength is a humble heart. Scripture reminds us that we are “earthen vessels”—ordinary clay jars; carrying an extraordinary treasure. The power...
A life of purity is not optional in the economy of heaven. It is not a personal preference or a cultural virtue but a divine requirement rooted in the very nature of God Himself. The Scripture cries out in Psalm 24, “Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in His holy...
Birthing means giving life to something new. To give birth, therefore, is to produce life. The corrupted nature of man necessitated the new birth of the spirit. Spiritually, man became dead and entirely separated from God, so much so that man and God became “enemies”. As the first missionary, God took the initiative to search...
The traditional understanding of fasting has been the staying away from food for a particular season, often for spiritual purposes. Now we know that fasting does not only have spiritual benefits, but also physical, health and mental benefits.

Not a corner, not a courteous nod, not a religious compartment reserved for sacred hours, but room, full and unchallenged, at the core of our being. The name Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23), does...
They say pressure makes diamonds—but what about fire? As I was scrolling through my drafts the other day and I find my notes on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I put my phone down and heaved because, honestly, the blatant display of faith and godly showmanship by these men is one for the books. Picture it;...
Prayer is the believer’s lifeline to God. Yet, even the most faithful among us will admit that at times, we pray and still feel incomplete, as though something is missing. There are moments when our hearts are heavy, but our words fall short. We speak from what we see, yet deep within, there are hidden...
Every church goes through seasons of passion and decline. Activities might continue, but without spiritual fire, something feels missing.
