There was a narrow bridge along the way, and only one vehicle could drive on it at a time. Therefore, drivers had to wait for any vehicles that were coming from the opposite direction of the bridge to pass through before they could get on the bridge. When we reached the foot of the bridge, we observed that no vehicle was com...

Today's memory verse says that every believer who...

Proverbs 10:22   READ : 1 Peter 5:8-9; John 10:10 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. John 10:10   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.   MESSAGE Many people want to get rich at all costs, and as such, the devil lures them into all sorts of sinful acts. Some of them eventually get the riches they want, but such riches always come with many sorrows. Only the blessing of God comes without sorrow, as we see in today's memory verse. The devil never desires anything good for anybody. He may pretend as if he wants the bes...

MESSAGE When I became the General Overseer of RCCG, I was so concerned about the church's growth that I was always fasting, praying, and preaching to the extent that I gave myself no rest or holidays. I did that for years, until suddenly, I discovered that while preaching, I would lose my voice completely after about 15 minutes.

One day, an elderly woman who had noticed what was going on approached...
