Discovering Truth - Verse of the Day

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” Psalms 51:17 KJV http://bible.com/1/psa.51.17.kjv Some of us, when we talk to God, God blocks us. Am I talking to some people? But, aren't you asking yourself this question, why?  'Yes, I am. I read the Bible, got to church twice a week, give weekly donations to charity, do 6 hours community work and God doesn't answer my prayers!'  I can already see your problem. Pride. We always think that we are the ones who know best and that, the King 👑 of kings and LORD of Lords,  is just 'another guy to be ignored'. This type of behaviour makes many of us very vulnerable to Satan, as this is the weak spot. This is why we must be wise - and make sure we work on our weak spots. Pride is what brings many down. Very down. You see, many people get attracted to Satan ONLY because they want to be successful, and have prosperity. But instead of finding this...

“The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”” Matthew 12:37 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.12.37.nlt  Many of us don't understand sometimes why sicknesses come upon us, or why they don't leave. According to this verse, it's not Satan, it's you! We don't know that our words have power - and by condemning sicknesses or diseases upon yourself you gave Satan authority to do as you said. Don't call any sickness or disease you'd! Calling that arthritis 'my arthritis' is saying it belongs to you. You give more power to Satan. It is you who gives Satan the power - otherwise he is powerless! 

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7 #nahum1v7

“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 NLT http://bible.com/116/1pe.5.8.nlt Many of us have been taken captive by Satan. Some knowingly, some unknowingly. Satan is the most deceptive of all, targeting Christians as victims for the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire 🔥 is real, very real. And people who go there live there for eternity. ETERNITY. No end to the burning. No end to the suffering. FOREVER. A bit hard to imagine, but very vivid. I don't want anyone to go to Hell. Satan is very crafty now and is beginning to plant seeds of death in the church, with false prophets and liars going everywhere. He also sends out his demons of misinterpretation to confuse many into praying fall down and die prayers, or confuse their minds. The Word is the Word. Nowadays, Christians who are baptised are baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Another deceptive scheme! Wa...

“You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own.” Leviticus 20:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/lev.20.26.nlt Many of us, when we ask God for things, we SEEM not to get them. And we moan. And many walk away from the faith. But, it is actually US who aren't seeing, hearing or listening. It is not God! Did you know that God does answer our requests? But when we leave His Presence - His Presence may be in church, or in your house - we go back to our lives. Live sod revelling, partying and drinking, merrily getting drunk and having spirits. And we except to keep what we asked for when we immediately, by our actions, destroy it? What are you thinking 🙄 ? Let me explain metaphorically.  When you connect something to a power source like a laptop when it needs charging, unless the laptop is connected will it be able to charge? No! It must be connected to get the power it needs. It is the same with us! When we get the b...

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/gal.5.16-17.nlt

“Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.” Ephesians 5:3 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.5.3.nlt Many of us try to live our life in our own way, calling ourselves Christians.  This is why many Christians do not receive the Holy Spirit. Because they want Him, but still want the licence to do evil, which is another reason unbelievers don't turn to Christ. Some are not patient enough, or do not hunger for the Kingdom of God. Being hungry for the kingdom of God means to really want the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit does not just give itself out - you have to show God that you really want it. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost will fill you with power to do all God requires! 

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” - Mark 1:15 NIV Many Christians have strong beliefs they are saved, but this is a lie. Actions speak louder than words! Christianity is not a thing of the mouth, as many think. It is a thing of the heart. Your hearts is what God looks at: not your mouth, brain or any other pysical part of your body. 'But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."' - 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV. God is not a man that He should lie. Every one of his commandments is guaranteed to work. Each person is invited into the Kingdom. The unbelievers on judgement day won't go to Hell because of their sins. What? Yep! It is becuase they remained in denial of the son of God, and in the existence of Him. Don't be one ...

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul and strength. - Luke 10:27

“The Lord your God is a devouring fire; he is a jealous God.” Deuteronomy 4:24 NLT http://bible.com/116/deu.4.24.nlt  Many Christians misinterpret the meaning of Deuteronomy 4:24. They think that the meaning is God is a jealous God, as in the human type of jealous 😒 . But it's not! 😲 !  When it says jealous, it means that He loves you so much, that He doesn't want anyone else to have you (like Satan, I mean). Let's put it this way:  You're walking around with your wife, normally and discussing when she suddenly runs off. Not to the shops, not home, but to a man. She starts kissing him and saying to him: 'I love you, I missed you, I love you!' It would be absolutely embarrassing, shocking and saddening for the husband. I'm sure they'd be a huge red mark on the guy the wife liked head!  This scenario is just an example of what we do to Jesus sometimes. We turn to Christ, but then leave Him, like a wife abandoning her Husband, and the...

“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.” Ephesians 4:1 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.1.nlt This verse talks about something many Christians don't do. They do not lead a worthy life that is acceptable to God. Christians are supposed to be the shining light in this world - except that they aren't. Their lights become dim after the make the wrong friendships, and get lead the wrong way. The amount of true Christians in the world is scarce, and is still reducing. But, in the name of Jesus, it shall increase! I used some commanding prayer. Commanding prayer is a name I use for a prayer that commands demons out, where basically you give the orders. Example:  In the name of Jesus, I command every demon holding back our marriage or finances to let go! Let go! Let go and go back to Hell!  Remain true to the Word of God! 

“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/1ti.6.9.kjv

“In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right.” Isaiah 26:9 NLT http://bible.com/116/isa.26.9.nlt There is so much obvious evidence that God exists. It is absolutely unreasonable for someone to say God doesn't exist, when proof stand right in front of us. What atheists believe is nothing created everything, when, according to all lead of science, is impossible. Did you know that most of the scientific rules we have today are from the Bible? Yeah it's true, 😳 !  It's clear, so why do many of us follow the wrong path?  Once you know the truth, Satan doesn't like it. It's like losing one of his possessions, so he tries his hardest to make sure you are misled in your mission to reconcile your self with God. This is why so many end up in 'dead' ministries, or going to demon-infested fake churches.  So, how do I find an 'alive' church?  Ke...

““Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.” Mark 10:18 NIV http://bible.com/111/mrk.10.18.niv  Today I chose this verse as it is one that is interpreted incorrectly almost every time. Now remember- Jesus was in the world as Man, and he hadn't redeemed everyone from sins yet. There was no Man in Heaven. So, currently, there was no-one good except God. Hope that clears it. Got any questions 🤔 ! DM me!  Many of us craft our own ways of godliness to live by. We believe we are going to Heaven, when actually we have a one-way ticket to Hell. And Satan likes this thinking! So he keeps many in his deceit and doubt cloud, so that their eyes will be darkened and so they cannot see. But the Bible says it, obviously 🙄 !   “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV http://bible...

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.6.12.nlt Although it's in the Bible, this is one verse that is skipped through over 700 times! Shocking 😧 ! I know! Many wars and battle start by this skipping! Certain Christians start to think that human people are their adversaries and ignore God's rule of love. They start to pray for their enemies to die, or for God to give them problems. God doesn't answer these prayers. Satan does, as you've now given him the authority to kill someone, or give someone a hard life. There is one thing that is of need to clarify:  Your enemy is not man, it's Satan.  Satan is not mortal; he is a spiritual being that decides many Christians and people into fighting one another, believing that each other is the sou...

“In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/mat.5.16.nlt

“I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.” Psalm 119:60 NIV http://bible.com/111/psa.119.60.niv Sadly, many, many (so-called) Christians disobey this verse. In fact, many say they are forgiven and do not maintain the holiness and righteousness standard that God requires us to keep. We have no excuse - He's given us the ability. It's like wanting to read - you get the opportunity, you finally learn to read, but when you can finally prove to everyone you can read, you don't. The tool for obedience, creation, recreation, design, success in life and the key to prosperity, life and love is right here, has always been here and shall always be: the Bible. The Word of God. But groups of people claim that the Bible is a 'bundle of confusion'. How I laugh at that 😂 !  This is because they just READ it. They do not read it with guidance from God on meaning, otherwise known as not reading by revelation 📖 . Many Christians are still physical, and not ...

“Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?” Mark 8:34-37 NLT http://bible.com/116/mrk.8.34-37.nlt Many new-born Christians make a big mistake when they think that life as a Christian will get easier. In fact, you are going to get a huge shock if you keep thinking like that!  This world is in a huge conflict, between light and darkness. When you become a believer, you are removed from the kingdom of darkness and brought into God's kingdom of light. Obviously, Satan is very unhappy and angry 😡 , so he tries his hardest to try and get you back, especially by targeting your weakness. Work hard...

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. Psalm 44:3 | NIV  SORRY FOR NO VERSE YESTERDAY.  Many of the things we do, we don't know that it is God who is the one who lets us live to do them. He is the author of life. There are a couple of things I need to clarify, after hearing many people ask this question:  When Jesus was made a sinner (or sin), God turned His back on Him. Does that mean God does the same to us, when we sin?  Good question! For starters, Jesus WAS made sin, as we learn here:  “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV http://bible.com/111/2co.5.21.niv  Now about your question. You see, the actions you and I take that are of sin, are of the nature of sin. It is not sin itself. It is the nature of sin we...

“For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.” Proverbs 5:21 NLT http://bible.com/116/pro.5.21.nlt  Everyone. Don't think that God doesn't watch over you. When you sin, when you read His Word, when you discuss, when you go to work, school etc. The Lord is the one who examines everything. Your heart, soul, spirit and path.  “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” Hebrews 4:12 NLT http://bible.com/116/heb.4.12.nlt Don't think you can escape the wrath of God: it is the Word of God He will use it to judge you, so obey it! 

“Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.” Proverbs 13:6 NLT http://bible.com/116/pro.13.6.nlt Lots of people I meet think they are blameless in almost everything. They don't tell lies, they do good to the poor, they're nice, friendly... But did you know, all they do is in vain?  😲   I know!  But how do you know?  Let's read a bit of scripture:  “If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:3 NLT http://bible.com/116/1co.13.3.nlt Wow. This is very strong. Someone could do as much good as possible and still be gaining nothing if they do not do it with love. Doing the dishes, giving people loans, giving someone a TV, if you don't do it with love it is the same as doing nothing.  How do I love?  It is only by the Holy Spirit that anyone can love. I've proved it m...

“And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.” Isaiah 29:13 NLT http://bible.com/116/isa.29.13.nlt  Many of us say we are Christians, but actually live by our own 'version ' of Christianity, even though we know that the real truth is not what we want to practice. The fake believers in the world try to teach you their wrong practices, but if you know the Word then you can use it to check their practices, like these guys:  “And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.” Acts of the Apostles 17:11 NLT http://bible.com/116/act.17.11.nlt Be like those in Berea, and seek the Truth to see if what people are telling you is true. Don't believe everythi...

“And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:54-56 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.9.54-56.kjv Wow. Many of you might wonder, why did Jesus rebuke them, after all, the disciples were quoting Scripture? Well, Jesus rebuked them because of the spirit in them, a spirit of the former man. A spirit to lie and to kill, and to destroy. Just because someone may quote Scripture to support a point, does not mean what they say is true. You've got to do some research yourself, like these people:  “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”...

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT http://bible.com/116/act.1.8.nlt  Many people disobey this verse. Most of them unknowingly. You may wonder: how? They disobey by not waiting for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, before they start a ministry. This is why many ministries have financial and maybe emotional break downs, leading to marriage issues and family split ups. It just ends up in a mess. So, be hungry for the Holy Ghost by showing Him that you love Him, reading His Word (Acts 2, especially) and waiting! 

“But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Matthew 6:3 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.6.3.nlt  Many people think that when God rewards you, He only rewards you publicly. When I mean publicly, I mean on earth. Many think that God will only reward you on Earth. But what did Jesus say about the whole matter?  “Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/mat.6.20.nlt Haven't you ever though about it? God might actually be storing your treasures in Heaven! He might be adding more to your reward, the one you get when He comes again. Blessings on earth are only a tip of the iceberg of what God's reward is for you- it's filled with a whole package of God's goodness! Your rewards should be in Heaven, as Heaven is our true home. One issue that has arose:  Can a Christian be poor?  The answer is ...

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!” Isaiah 52:7 NLT http://bible.com/116/isa.52.7.nlt What I wanted you to recognise in this verse is about how Isaiah describes the feet of those who bring Good News. Beautiful. Did you know this actually has connections to the armour of God?  “For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.” Ephesians 6:15 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.6.15.nlt So, our feet our beautiful, and we proclaim that the God of Israel reigns! Jesus Christ give us this piece of armour to 'keep our cool' when in tough times or when people do things deliberately to wind you up. Keep your cool, calm down, what's the point? There are greater treasures in Heaven! 

“No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” Romans 8:37 NLT http://bible.com/116/rom.8.37.nlt  Sorry for not doing VOTD yesterday - busy.  Did you read what Paul is saying? Not only do we have victory but we have overwhelming victory, and it's ours, through Christ! Everything a Christian does must be through Christ or for Christ. You eat food - through Christ. You save souls - for Christ. You go to work - for and through Christ.  Let me read a bit of the Psalms:  "I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. " - Psalm 119:14 NIV Wow. Just hearing God's Word is a struggle for many. As Christians, we should delight in following the statutes of God, no matter how hard they are. If you ever feel like moaning or grumbling about doing the work of God (find out about that in the Bible), just remember a few of these people:  The Three Hebrew Boys.  Shadrach, Meshach ...
