“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21 Prayer and fasting are non-negotiable requirements for access to revelation, which comes principally from Word study. Prayer and Word Study (Psalm 119:18) Clearly, it is essential to study the Bible prayerfully. This could be said to be the first step in understanding […]
“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” John 13:17 “Let the Word of God dwell richly in you” (Colossians 3:16) Bear in mind that Jesus Christ Himself is the Word. However, before the Word can profit you, it must first enter into you. That is, unless you read and hear […]

As God is the only One who can meet all your needs, it is important that you rely on Him alone. Any move towards getting help from another source amounts to double-dealing, and God cannot perform for people who stand between two opinions. Your expectation is either from Him or you are not ready for […]
Praising God is also an essential part of the faith walk. The Psalmist says, “God inhabits the praises of His people. (paraphrased)”. Psalm 22:3 This is because “Praise is comely unto God.” Psalm 147:1 We have been created essentially as praise beings, to show forth the glory of God by our words and deeds. God […]
The fear of God entails having a holy reverence for His Word. When you do that, you will not fall into any form of sin. The subject of sin has been brought up at this stage because it is a fundamental hindrance to the effectual working of faith. Just as love is a fundamental prerequisite […]
“Love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all thy soul, and with all they mind, and with al they strength.” Mark 12:30 Finally, the believer should not forget to add to his faith, a willingness and gladness of heart to serve the Lord, in whatever role he or she may be […]
