1 Peter 5:8

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Matthew 9:37

John 14: 12

Some peop...

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son...
Galatians 4:4
It is a known fact that we all need a blessing from the Lord. It is important to understand the law of the timing of miracles. Why did Jesus come to the earth only two thousand years ago? The Bible says when the time was right, God sent His Son.
Jesus was a gift of God to the Jews, but in ...

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:18
I encourage people to marry young. The more Christians delay the marriage ceremony, the more likely they are to end up living in sin. What are you waiting for?Do not use the lack of money as an excuse, because you can marry if you really want to. Marry...

2 Timothy 1:13

READ: Isaiah 61:1-3
...how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke 11:13
I want to show you why it is such a difficult thing for you to be anointed. One reason why God does not readily give His anointing to just anyone is because the anointing is the Holy Spirit (God Himself). The Holy Spirit is a precious gift from God to the Church. However, God d...

Yea, mine own familiar friend...hath lifted up his heel against me
Psalm 41:9

...every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry...Philippians 4:12
