Words From The Heart

Scripture Focus Matthew 8:9 (KJV) “For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.” Introduction One of the greatest lessons on authority in the Bible did not come from a priest, a prophet, or even one of Jesus’ disciples. It came from a Roman centurion—a…

Preserving the Legacy of the Merchant Prince of Colonial Lagos “History is easiest to lose when those who know it assume everyone else already knows it.” WHY THIS PROJECT EXISTS A few days ago, my mum shared a Facebook post about Josiah Henryson Doherty, popularly known as “The Merchant Prince of Colonial Lagos.” At first, I simply found it interesting. Curiosity led me to do some further…

Offence is one of the most subtle traps the enemy uses against believers. It often does not arrive looking like rebellion, bitterness, or unforgiveness. It comes first as a feeling: “How could they say that?” “Why did they treat me like that?” “I must respond now.” “I will show them I am not weak.” But many times, what looks like a justified reaction is actually a baited trap. In the Greek New…

Understanding Death from God’s Perspective One of the greatest fears among men is the fear of death. Yet, when we study the Scriptures carefully, we discover something glorious: for the believer, death is not the end. In the language of Heaven, the righteous do not truly die — they sleep. This truth changes how we mourn, how we live, and how we prepare for eternity. The world sees death as…

Jesus is not a myth, a mere prophet, a religious reformer, or just a good moral teacher. The real Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, God manifested in the flesh, the Saviour of the world, the only Mediator between God and man, the crucified Lamb, the risen Lord, and the coming King. Historically, Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth of Galilee, ministered…

A Biblical and Doctrinal Teaching From Malachi, Jesus, and the Apostles Tithing is one of the most discussed subjects in Christianity today. Some approach it emotionally, others traditionally, and others critically. However, doctrine must never be built on personal preference, denominational culture, or modern opinion. The final authority for the believer is the Word of God rightly interpreted…

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? Every great transformation in life often begins with one small decision. Not a crowd.Not a conference.Not a dramatic overnight miracle. Just one small improvement. Naaman dipped in the river seven times.David picked up five smooth stones.A little boy offered five loaves and two fishes.The widow poured from a small jar of oil. In the…

Hearing Beyond Sound — Responding to the Voice of God Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly speaks to humanity. Yet one of the most solemn and recurring statements made by the Lord Jesus Christ is: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” — King James Version This statement appears again and again in the Gospels and in the book of Revelation. It is not merely…

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day? At first, it sounds like a fun question. Some people would say: A pilot ✈️ A surgeon 🩺 A president A professional footballer A billionaire CEO A detective A musician on a world stage But if we are honest, the answer often reveals something deeper than curiosity. It reveals hunger. There is something inside every human being that…

When You Dishonour God’s Vessel, Heaven Responds There is a dangerous misunderstanding in the body of Christ today:Many assume that if a servant of God does not react to dishonour, then nothing will happen. That assumption is not just wrong—it is spiritually costly. Because while the servant may remain silent…God never does. THE BIBLICAL CASE: MIRIAM, AARON, AND MOSES The Scriptures give us…

There is something about obedience that many people underestimate. It doesn’t look dramatic.It doesn’t always feel exciting.Sometimes, it even feels inconvenient. But obedience is one of the most powerful forces in the Kingdom of God—because it is the bridge between instruction and manifestation. Everyone Wants Results… Few Want Instructions We live in a generation that loves…

Can a Christian husband flirt with his wife?  In a world where language shifts with culture, Christians often pause at certain words and ask, “Is this truly biblical?” One such word is “flirt.” While commonly used to describe playful romantic attention, it carries meanings that can be unclear or even misleading when measured against Scripture. So, how should a believer understand and express…

There are moments when a simple question exposes the true depth of our understanding of Scripture. During a teaching, my father in the Lord posed a striking scenario:“If you and your wife were in a sinking ship and only one of you could be saved—who would you choose?” Later, my wife asked me the same question. Without hesitation, I answered: “You.” It wasn’t a rehearsed answer. It came from…

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? The Question That Exposes Your Faith When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? That question is not just reflective—it is deeply spiritual. Because in the Kingdom of God, what the world calls “risk,” heaven often calls faith. Faith Will Always Look Risky to the Natural Mind Hebrews 11:6 KJV“But without faith it is…

There is a dangerous mindset that quietly robs many believers of their inheritance in Christ: the victim mentality. It sounds humble, it feels justified, but biblically—it is a contradiction of redemption. The Bible never calls you a victim.It calls you a victor. 1.
