I believe you know this powerful verse: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.Psalm 121:1  Read: Psalm 121:1-21  A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.2  My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.   Message:In the course of our walk with God, we encounter challenges of life that test the level and quality of our faith; but praise God that we have the assurance of the Lord that there is no mountain our faith cannot surmount (Matthew 17:20). For those who are in Christ, problems arise in order to generate testimonies. The size of the problem you encounter will determine the size of your testimony. If you ask God for a big testimony, then you must be ready to face a big challenge. What made the testimony of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego most outstanding was not just the fact that they went through the fiery furnace, but the fact that the furnace, heated to its most intense level, could ...

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 32 : 48 - 34 : 12 AND 1 THESSALONIANS 1 : 1 - 2 : 16. What is life? In simplistic terms, we can define life as the opposite of death. When you travel to a far country, say for a period of three months, you will experience a temporary separation between you and the people, things and locations you are familiar with. But when death occurs, it permanently separates you from the thi...

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2015 THEME: BEFORE THE MANIFESTATION OF SIGNS Memorise: God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Hebrews 2:4 Read: Psalm 34:1-3 1  I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2  My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Message There are certain criteria God looks out for before choosing a fellow through whom His signs and wonders will be manifested to the world. He saw meekness and humility in Moses. If the Lord will use you to do the greater works He promised (John 14:12), you must be meek and gentle. You must also be humble to the end. Some people start off being humble, and God begins to lift them up; but at some point, they become so full of themselve...

And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27  And he said unto him, What is thy name?

And he said, Wherefore is it...

After Paul showed God how much he loved Him, not only did God perform special miracles through him while he was still alive (Acts 19:11), God also showed him the glorious crown awaiting him in Heaven. How great and awesome it is to see the reward reserved for you in Heaven. Some of us desire to have this experience. While this is a good desire, the question is: have you demonstrated your...
