"Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, GOD HATH SHINED" (Psalm 50:2). If you know something about the word "type" or "typology" in connection with the Bible, you will understand that "Zion" in the Old Testament is a representation of the New Testament Church. Just as God chose the Nation of Israel to be a light to other nations in the Old Testament, so He has also chosen the Church in this age to be a People separated unto Him so that the light of His Glory would be expressed to the world through her. "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1Pet.2:9). Biblically speaking, the Church is neither a physical structure nor the place or location where religious activities are being carried out, but a People who have made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; washed by His blood,...

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (Jn. 8:36). Dynamic and powerful Words, aren't they? But are they reliable? Certainly! These are neither the Words of a beer guzzler, nor a day dreamer. They are authentic because of the source - where it emanated from; I mean the personality of the speaker. He is the one whose Words can never fall to the ground. "For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast" (Ps.33:9). He spoke the universe into existence by the Word of His power. His Words pierced through the darkness of the grave, and reverberated throughout hell; shaking it to its very foundation to release Lazarus from the clutches of death, who was held bound by it for good four days. When he declared, ... Lazarus, come forth" (Jn.11:43), the power of the grave was immediately broken, and death had no option but to loose its hold over Lazarus. His Word is the final authority. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, an...

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE. The Word of God is not ordinary like the words of men. Jesus said, "... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (Jn. 6:63). God's Word is an unfailing remedy to all life's problems. It hasn't, and it will never loose its efficacy, but it works only in them that believes, and not in them that believe not. God works in line with His Word, He can't do anything for you apart from it. His Word, either written or spoken is the channel through which His power is conveyed into your life to heal, deliver and bless you. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Ps. 107:20). The best way to help people is to give them them the Word, and th...

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth..." (Rom. 1:16). Several years ago, the Lord spoke to me, and He said: "The gospel is the hope of man".  This means that man is hopeless, and helpless, and at the mercy of the devil without the gospel. It also indicates that man will spend an eternity of anguish and sorrow in hell without the gospel! From the Greek translation of the new testament, the gospel means goodness. The goodnews of Satan's absolute defeat! The one who held mankind under his captivity since Adam. Secondly, it's a goodnews of God's redeeming love, grace, mercy and forgiveness extented to mankind at Christ's expence. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom.5:8). The amazing fact is that, God's power is tucked away in the gospel - the goodnews - His Word. The gospel is the power of God! A...
